Old guy here. My advice: find something you really like and do that. Doing something you like multiplies by 10 the chance you’ll get good at it. You’ll have to try out a few things, which might give you the impression you are wasting your time; but it’s better to lose 3-4 years finding your way than burning up at 35 because you hate what you do.

Aaaaand why would CloudFlare want to teach the computers to mimic mouse movements?

Oddly specific

There’s a special place in hell for you

Shortening rules actually make IPv6 addresses easier to remember than IPv4. Just don’t use auto configuration.

Can’t say this enough. The only way to have some kind of power as a worker is to unionize.

Linux distros are maintained by people that want to create the best OS possible. Windows is maintained by a company that wants to sell you something.

In the last years I’ve tried Ubuntu, Debian, crunchbang and PopOS. A few months ago I asked IT if I could change the os on my company laptop from Windows 10 to Linux Mint. It means I have to stay outside the AD domain, but since almost everything (email, teams, OneDrive…) is available on the web, the only downside is not being able to use the wifi projectors. I can live with that. Mint is simple to use, easy on the eyes and stable as hell. And windows games run really well with proton, except maybe Starfield but I can wait :)

Maybe it would be a good thing for the digital world to be free from the concept of ownership.

Am old, can confirm: past a certain age you never see yourself as old as you really are.

For edibles to kick in you have to say the magic formula, which is: “This shit don’t work”.

I agree with you that it’s a personal choice. I was replying to someone who seemed to imply that it wasn’t, and was suggesting that someone who eats meat can just stop doing it. I think that, for some people or some cultures, transitioning to a vegan diet isn’t that easy.

I’ve heard about that, but I feel a majority of meat eaters are quite tolerant with veganism and don’t see it a a threat to their masculinity. And I think I can say this threat isn’t even relevant in the case of women meat eaters. About the study you linked: it doesn’t really try to take an objective standpoint on the matter since its entire premise is the necessity to convince meat eaters to change their eating habits. Also is says itself (end of section 5) that the link between eating meat and masculinity wasn’t specifically targeted by the study. The authors do mention though that the link between masculinity and meat eating can be attributed to perceptions created by industry marketing. But in this article (as well as in my own personal experience) this link seems at best anecdotal.

How is it relevant to the question I’m asking?

It was an honest question, and you didn’t answer it.

Yeah but what about my cat? What about animals in the wild? How can we stop them from eating meat?

Meat eating is tightly connected to manliness.

That’s an interesting proposition. You have a source for that, or a theory of your own? Please share.

I didn’t block you from making the joke. That’s censorship.

I know, and that’s why I didn’t say it was actually censorship. Just really close.

So by that logic, we shouldn’t make any political jokes anymore? This is getting awfully close to censorship.

The downvotes only validate I’m right

I would like you to explain your reasoning on this.
