What gives you hope to keep going?
  • Curiosity, so I observe. I believe we have control over nothing and that free will is an illusion. Consciousness is a mystery, as much my own as the one I suppose others have. In the middle of the chaos, I sometimes see glimpses of beauty, in many forms: music, images, people's behaviour, fiction, maths, nature... So I observe , I try to find patterns, to understand how things work, why others do what they do. I have found beauty in the very little things, what used to be chores I now enjoy, they were chores because "I thought I had better more important things to do", I wanted to be "later" but now I know what matters is to live in the moment, and I'll be living the next moment later.

    Social media, the news, they are trying to grab your attention and project you to the future, what is the next threat, when are you likely to die or suffer. The truth is: we are all going to be dead eventually, it can be for many reasons, it can be in the next hour, or in thousands of years, we cannot know when, but we all know it will happen, doesn't really help to worry too much about it.

    Don't waste your life trying to prevent your inevitable death. Enjoy it while you can. The rest is mostly out of your control anyway.

  • I'm not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with me!
  • I don't see the issue, if we say 1 billion is too much (I would choose a lower maximum personally) if their wealth in any way or form is above the max, they have to sell a house or some asset, society in the form of the government (or whathever is in place) take the money to be used for public interest project. It's really not that punishing, they would literally be the richest people, and they would still have plenty of money/asset to enjoy life. They don't need more.

  • I might be wrong, but I don't think it's about being attractive or even liking your own body, it's about the freeing feeling of being 100% honest with everything with someone. You cannot and don't need to lie to your double, he knows everything, you know everything. Sex isn't about genital mashing, it's about the mind-body communions, which would be the strongest with your double.

  • I'm not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with me!
  • "rarely": so you admit sometimes the solution is "get rid of X" ? Then why would "get rid of billionaires" not be a solution for you ? To be clear I'm not saying we should kill them or physically hurt them in any way, we can simply reappropriate their wealth turning them into non-billionaire, also making it illegal for anyone to be a billionaire in the future. Why would that not work in your opinion ?

  • Next month is gonna be rough
  • I'm no fan of Microsoft but I get it.. In the current political climate nobody wants to take the risks of being the subject of a backlash involving Judaism. The cost of keeping it was way greater than to remove it.

    I act the same every time I meet a lunatic claiming whatever I'm doing is "offending" them: I politely apologise and go on with my day without a fuss in order to be left alone.

  • Well, not ALL puzzles... [Dark Side of the Horse]
  • I would disagree, your brain does a lot of pattern-matching, solving a jigsaw actually is brain intensive, but it's using brain skills that we don't usually associate with thinking, even though it definitely is.

  • What you rather?
  • Linux supports most games nowadays. It will never support "all" games. Just like windows doesn't support all games. At this point in time, saying Linux is not good enough with gaming is weird..

  • Nuclear Demonology
  • I genuinely feel the same. I keep telling myself that's just growing up and seeing the world more clearly with time, but it really feels like one big stupid drug-induced dream and I'm going to finally wake up from it eventually, cause the real world can't be that dumb and insane.

  • Can MDM software be used to spy on employee ?

    My employer had us install a software called "fleet osquery", they said it's a first step toward inventory management of all the devices for IT. I guess it also adds a layer of safety by making sure nobody installs any dangerous software/malware on their work devices.

    Looking at the docs , it looks like this can be used to remotely execute scripts on my laptop, should I be worried about my employer spying on me during work hours ? Or logging information about what I'm doing ?

    Mails tôt le matin, air débordé, visios sans caméras : qui sont les « fauxductivity », ces cadres qui font semblant de travailler
  • L'article suggère aux employeurs de faire en sorte de crée de l'engagement, mais ils ont pensé à juste réduire les heure de travail ? Les étude sur la semaine de 4j ont montré qu'il n'y a pas de baisse de productivité, et que les gens sont juste plus heureux.

  • The Death of the Junior Developer
  • I might be wrong, but to me junior dev are just senior dev in the making, employers know that. The junior dev will continue to exist as long as employers need senior devs.

    Now maybe Devs will completely disappear in the near (or far) future, but I don't think you can remove one if you still need the other.

  • Having a nice run

    Lost in ante 15, It needed 7.7e16, and I only managed 6.5e15.

    If anyone is interested, the seed was KZ33819M

    This is the furthest I've been ever. That was quite the rush of adrenaline :-D

    Stolen design being sold on etsy

    I know it's not a new problem, but I don't know what I can or should do..

    I'm made a design that I shared for free on thingiverse under a Creative commons, attributions, non-commercial license.

    I've been made aware today that two etsy sellers are using my design, they didn't ask me and they don't attribute me. I don't particularly mind that people print and sell my design (I understand the added value of it already being printed for the user) , but I feel it is unfair to buyers to not be made aware that the design is free and they could easily get it printed cheaper elsewhere (design is small, it's like half a dollar worth of plastic).

    It would also have been nice to send me a share of the profit made from my design..

    What can I do or should I do ?
