Some More News will do a livestream of the results. They are usually on point with their analysis and sources.

I feel you. Sorry you had to go through that experience.

Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds. I am usually a huge SciFi fan, but I like the genre for it’s ability to reflect on humanity by extrapolating on current technologies/trends or comparing our culture to unique alien ones.

Revelation Space was technobabble and descriptions of weapons for pages upon pages, and it was totally devoid of any philosophy or reflection on humanity. I never DNF a book, but this one I almost gave up on.

Danish libraries provide an online streaming service, where you can watch 2-3 movies a month for free. It’s awesome! They even had Everything Everywhere All At Once before any other streaming service here.

This feels like OG 4chan or Reddit, and I’m all for it. Great ducks, people!

Crushes are non-consensual. Getting rejected is definitely the best, because that is the first step to getting over an unhealthy obsession.

It is. But it’s also the basis for the political compass, and is taught in polsci all over the world

Look up The Minerva model

I actually teach teenagers programming and 3D modelling. The past 5 years has been the first decline in tech literacy I’ve ever experienced between generations. My personal theory is that only the gamers actually have computers at home now. Everyone else only use their smartphones, and that only gives a negligible increase in tech literacy compared to using a computer.

Angry and nihilistic teenagers used to have tech skills and laptops. Now they have iPads and TikTok.

I have an unfinished Software Engineering degree. While studying, I started a small businesses to do some freelance IT work on the side and one client offered me a full-time job, so I put the studies on hold and then never looked back. Been climbing through different positions and companies since then. Experience is valued much higher than a diploma, especially in an industry that evolves too quickly for education to keep up. I quit the industry recently to start teaching, because there is huge need for teachers that can teach programming, and working with people is much more rewarding than a big paycheck (imo).

In all of my job interviews, I’ve been asked more about the company I started while studying, than the degree that I quit. So I guess my tip is to start your own thing or start teaching. Having your own business with a license also makes it way easier for big companies to hire you for contract work.

For a democracy to work it’s people need to act like political consumers. To do so, they need to be informed about the products they consume and their alternatives.

Also, a lot of Scandinavian libraries are switching their public desktop PCs to Linux.

LightBurn should hire better developers then

Great game!

Best value for money if you like deckbuilders and rogue likes. Fantastic game. The second one is coming out next year!

Maybe start with the death of the two-party system?

I think you maybe read something that the op didn’t write? Pointing out that “there are racists everywhere” is in itself not a racist statement.

And 99% of computer use for most people is in a browser. No need for an overly complex OS, with constant stupid pop-ups to ruin that browser experience.

Defintiely! I recently bought a used Thinkpad and slapped Pop!_OS on it for my father-in-law. He’s 73 and he’s loving it! He proudly tells his friends that he is now “a part of a computer revolution”.
