@thor Yeah, same here. We're about the same age and I've had a computer since I went to school. I know what you're talking about, it just doesn't feel right without it.
The experience I've described above helped me reassess some things a lot. Now waking the computer from sleep is not the first thing I do in the morning, I follow the proper routine. After all, I can get away not using it at all: I have a CD player, I read paper books and I have my phone if someone wants to contact me…

@thor When I was hiding from COVID, I've moved to the country. I had electricity there, running water albeit not hot water and even gas which was scarce, so everyday tasks required much more effort, esp. cooking.
I had a laptop with me, but I didn't use it that much, even when I had spare time I preferred reading.
It did make me happier in a way, but I think such life is unsustainable unless you want to move out of city completely.
Finding proper balance is the right thing to do though.

@thor @dowodenum
Let us not forget that it is nothing like tech in its level of unambiguity and precision, and likely never will be.
Even DSM is a good place to start. Russia is way behind on accepting disorders like this and treating them so I know the other approach quite well, when society treats those as just personality traits: "You're just lazy and need a good kick up your butt, get your shit together!"
It helps other people get what they want from you, but it rarely helps you be content.

"Outsmart the city" 🤭

Всё уже запретили. Дело сделано 🤷

Now I'm inclined to think that Poettering's plans to step away from UNIX philosophy as being a set of tools that do one thing and turn linux-based systems into something monolithic are not some conspiracy 😲

Yeah, uboot is based!

@nerdtronics@mstdn.starnix.network There is something called systemd-boot?! Aw, gawd! 🤦

И если внутри Путина их два, то кто второй?

@inari Ни в коем случае не обесцениваю, но субъективно мне кажется, что конкретно в РФ качество упало ещё сильнее, не смотря на то, что формальные требования стали соблюдать. Благо, сейчас у потенциальных разработиков есть pet-проекты, у дизайнеров есть портфолио, и т.д. Так что оценивать при приёме стало значительно проще.
@Rezard

@inari Тут и сравнивать нечего. В развитых странах образование — дорогое, иногда непомерно дорогое, предприятие, сильно меняющее дальнейшую жизнь, и гарантирующее не только определённый уровень знаний, но иногда и некоторые актуальные практические навыки. Такие мемы всё же изначально были про СНГ, где уровень коррупции высок, а само образование часто бывает оторвано от реалий рынка.
@Rezard

@thor I didn't realize Peer Gynt is all Norwegian, both the music and the original play. I've never even given it a thought 😅

@iska@mk.starnix.network Because in reality it's unsustainable.
But in theory… In theory it could work!
🤣

@Yzexo Интересно что там за первое 😱

@thor Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive!

@parusmajor I've tried my best to read it in some way other than "heal thy burgers" before scrolling down, but failed miserably 🤣

@evelyn Backlit keyboard instead of ThinkLight? That is so un-ThinkPad-ish! UnThinkable? 🤔

@thor OMG, this thread is so funny! 🤣
@divVerent

@thor Yes, in a perfect corporate world. In reality most of the time they just pick some mid-level manager as a scapegoat, get their bonus and move on 😅

"OMG, all these cables" 🤦
And sleeping at the same time!
That is priceless 😹
