I am on my Windows computer so much for work that when I get off, I really just want to do something not on a computer. I realize that I now associate Windows with work and it doesn't feel like something fun or enjoyable. It doesn't feel personal to me.
I've been trying to figure out why lately I've had trouble with personal projects and perhaps this might be a small part of the answer.
India is a European word. The people living in that part of Asia never called themselves Indians. The people living in North America whom Columbus ignorantly called Indians weren't Indians either. It's just a word European powers made up for the convenience of their colonialism. There was no nation state of India until 1947, and then it took a few more years to fully unify.
You know I really hate the word “dispensing”, for no reason I can put my finger on.
Semi-related: we have a new appliance that uses this forbidden word and it has quickly become my least favourite appliance, despite “dispensing” one of my favourite items (coffee). I’m profoundly conflicted about this.
Erstmal nur sehr allmählich und in sehr geringem Ausmaß.
Aber bei 360 Grad Umfang steigt der Reifenabrieb sprunghaft an, weil der Reifen erst dann zum Fahren taugt.
The currency of life isn't money, it's options. A monk can choose to leave the meager life, a prisoner can't. Money also gives options, but so do contacts, skills, knowledge, ... #life#currency#philosophy#showerthoughts
I think too that to work together we have to be aware of the value of the other board.
And usually #FOSS are not so well known by business world and by government…
But I feel that it's going to change a bit.
Like for the German Train Organization : https://opensource.deutschebahn.com/opensource-en with Cornelius Schumacher ( he worked at #kde ) and Max Mehl ( he worked at #FSFE ).
I like it!!! 🤩
Like it would be an interesting service to just voluntarily go into a coma this election but with the option to vote super early. Vote in August and wake up next Feb and see what’s poppin #hottake#showerthoughts
Bogatego stać na realne oszczędzanie. Bogaty może sobie kupić porządne skórzane buty za 50 dolarów, a biednego stać tylko na takie za około 10 dolarów. No i te za 10 dolarów rozlecą się po sezonie. Jak będzie miał szczęście. A te za 50 dolarów będą dobre latami.
Generalnie jak kupujesz drogą porządną rzecz to masz spokój na lata i realną oszczędność. A jak Cie nie stać to de facto musisz wydać więcej.
Otóż mam taką myśl, że dla coraz większej liczby produktów to już nie jest prawdą, bo wszystko jest kupą tylko czasami kupa jest droga. I już nie ma marki telefonów, która będzie dobra latami, ale wszystko jest tak zrobione, że za krótki czas będzie trzeba kupować coś nowego.
Żyjemy w czasach postępującej utraty jakości na rzecz maksymalizacji przychodów.
