I am more annoyed by the walled gardens that requires you to log in/get a mobile app to view "public" content.
Quora, LinkedIn, Reddit, Twitter, just to name a few. And it's getting worse every year.

Yeah, ditch your closest people and go hang out with randos who are only talking to you cause you have the money. Sounds like perfect cure for depression.
Re:How my genius roommate changed my perspective
on Thursday November 11, 2021 @05:37AM (#29186525)
This painfully reminded me of my dad, who passed away earlier this year. We grew up as a family of 5, in small, 3 rooms flat in the block-of-flats from communist era. The way he made use of every single centimeter including the walls and ceiling still amazes me to this day. He was working with computers his whole life, but I haven't met anyone as handy as him. He built custom closets, cupboards, bunk beds, shelves, tables, perfctly designed for the dimensions of our flat, all without fancy tools and materials. My parents had their beds in our living room, but when we had event for our extended family, the whole room could be turned into something entirely different in 30 minutes, everything served multiple purposes. Whenever something needed to be done, or fixed, he disappeared into the "pile of useless junk" he kept in our basement and always came back with the right wire, pipe, or plank that did the job perfectly. Although I think I can be quite creative in some areas, unfortunately when it comes to manual work I am nowhere as gifted as him and am happy when I manage to change a lightbulb or hammer a nile.

>When I was young I slept in a HAMMOCK while working at the office. I now have a family. And yes, it is harder to get promoted, simply because I have less interest in working 90 hour work weeks!
Honestly, that sounds awful. As an European I am always amazed at this American mentality. I would never ever work more than 40 hours a week as an employee. Even that I consider too much for a healthy life and I aim at ~30 hours a week. I would never agreed to be called in the middle of the night, because there is a production outage in a company I don't own. I would never lose a good night sleep over such company. I will put in my hours for the salary we have agreed on and that's it, I don't care. Americans have been collectively brainwashed into thinking that the corporations give a shit about them and that the success of the corporation is also the success of its employees. Especially in our field, given the shortage of qualified engineers, why should I care? You don't want me, you won't promote me? Fine, I will talk to the next recruiter in the long line that is pilling up in my inbox.

In this thread submit jokes you encounter on the Internet on this day. So far I only checked out 4chan so far, cause I know they do it regulary. This year there is a counter on each board indicating how many Canadians are browsing on it and each post has a rake icon next to it which you can use to "report" a Canadian.

Props to you, that's inspiring. On the other hand, if I have to be completely honest, I can't wrap my mind around why would anyone pay for what are you doing, let alone so many people. There is so much free resources on Internet on popular topics (such as Ruby/RoR in this case), that I simply don't understand how people can pay for something like this (I didn't read your articles, but if you churned out 30 articles in 50 days then I dare to make a bold claim they aren't world-changing, or presenting something that wasn't already there). Just as I will never comprehend how sane person can regulary read tabloids. But as I said, I admire you and would gladly be in your position, well done.
