There’s an almost unlimited amount of work to do. The elderly/children to care for, the art to be made, the research to be done, etc. Tractors freed up a huge amount of the world population to work on other things, current technology does the same.
The problem is that humans have made a system of tightly controlling what work gets valued, how much it gets paid, what should be done and gatekeeping qualifications/resources to be allowed to do things.
I’m really happy that this is not relevant to me.
… because I don’t use Windows. I wish it was also because I managed to get rid of WhatsApp from my life.
I’m hind-brained
What’s the reason to keep the inkjet?
Welcome to Linux. Glad to see you’re not letting the hurdles get in your way and are working through solutions. There’s more to come.
You say “5 year old laptop” as if that’s ancient… 10th gen Intel 😄. I don’t even look at laptops newer than 5 years. Don’t need much more for internet tasks and office work.
Not just for the high seas. “Noah, get the boat”… for video streaming because that’s beyond redemption.
All the effort of inputting data into a password manager, but none of the security.
I specifically changed my routine and now brush my teeth straight after dinner. This has stopped me from midnight snacking completely.
The British don’t know what the fuck they’re doing. Scotland wants to break away. Northern Ireland wants to break away. These fuckwits cut off their own nose, crashing out of the EU. They literally still think they’ve “done a world of good” for the countries they colonised and exploited.
I love webcomics and I’m always in the lookout for more comics to subscribe to. Checked out this guy’s stuff and holy shit it’s so awful. when a dog whistle is loud and obvious then is just a regular siren.
Nintendo can’t ban me. I’ve already banned them. I’m going to copy their stuff even harder. I’m going to make 5 copies on my PC they lose 5 times the money. I’m going to make Nintendo charachter fan art and party Nintendo music. That’ll show em
Toyota Corolla
My dad’s car. The family car. Decent car.
I’m streaming a video on YouTube while playing an online multiplayer game, so effectively I’m spending 120 min online every hour.
Artificial light. No parallax. Super bright bulb throwing light across the room unless you get a short throw projector, and this is going to get hot and noisy with the fan in an enclosed room for extended periods.
Your TV solution sounds better.
“Capitalism in the modern sense”
You mean the wealth inequality, gig economy, being paid below a fair living wage, and unaffordable rent/bills keeping people in jobs they hate and aren’t fit for?
Sounds more like slavery now than what the ancient Egyptians had. Sign me up to build the next pyramid.
Whips. Lots of whips and middle managers.
It’s meant to have facial recognition, etc with a locally run AI
I’m currently in the process of learning to set up Immich on a home server. That will take care of automatic backup and indexing and searching. My family won’t engage to use this though, so they’re still going to send me Google photos links for sharing.
For touchups, I do that on device with an image editing app it needed. Although I never need to edit really.
Same. I also cannot fathom the number of people who say “I’m not looking forward to retirement, I don’t know what I would do with myself”.
In this day and age, there are unlimited options to read, watch, listen to, interact with, play and learn. And this isn’t even limited to consuming digital content. Learn to sculpt, or take apart a computer, or make a movie on your phone, or write a story, or learn a language, or learn a new physical skill (juggling?).
The amount of time and energy (and money, although many options are free) are the barriers, not the options available… and yet I sit here and play Balatro and Enter the Gungeon for the millionth time (#noragrets).
