Nice, I will be able to play Civ2 on Windows 11!

In related news, with the latest WINE on Linux 16 bits/32 bits applications are supported, so I was able to run my beloved Civilization 2 without problems.

Hello! I tried to run with podman but it get stuck in the login of my bot :( Would check it out later on the development.

I understand that, but I think that the piece is more related to the emotional and feelings of the people that is left behind. I know many people that was layoff and for them, money wasn´t the issue, but they couldn´t deal with the fact of being layed off. I don't know, I have been layoff once and inmediately I went to a trip in Japan, couldn't care less but those guys, even one of my closest friends were very sad even months from the fact. :(

You don't like what you do? I do. Not every day but I enjoy it.

This is true. Employment for a lifetime is a thing of another historical moment. Now it's all temporary, you don't work your whole life in a company nor they assure you a job until you retire. So, in a way, you have to understand that you are disposable to the corporate machinery.

Also, this is terrible, I know, I don't like it either but it's the current instituional arrangement where we live. Still, being layoff is a burden because it shock your core values and make you doubt of your true self and worth. Some people can't get pass it.

Perhaps it's not all about the money?

Oh good old Google reader with greasemonkey scripts to make the UI very minimal. Those were the good times buddy.

There hasn't been a lot of players in this area lately, perhaps you should take a look to this Awesome RSS https://github.com/AboutRSS/ALL-about-RSS.

Self hosting TTRSS and using the API to access it from third party software could be a solution if you don't like the official TTRSS web client.

This is definitely an article that hit (some) right ideas based on incorrect assumptions or an inaccurate historical context. Don't know if I would recommend it to a broader audience.

tl;dr: If the product is free, you are the product.
