Nah, it was all me. All of it.
Is it still a meme if it's scientifically accurate?
This had to be done. How else are you going to explode thousands of innocent children?

A friend of mine worked in Switzerland for couple of years. It's pretty much impossible to buy anything there because everything is owned by investment founds. He worked with two Swiss guys. One got lucky and married a women that inherited a piece of land and was able to build his own house. The other one was renting. According to my friend the levels or resentment and jealousy expressed by the latter were staggering. They pretend it's a good model but in reality they know being forced to rent sucks. Don't let this model become reality in other places.
It's because all the freedom they have.
But seriously, they have some crazy allergies there. No idea why, probably because of all the artificial food and contamination in general. It's just not a very healthy place to live.
InstaPot. It makes a lot of things so much easier to cook. Rice, lentils, potatoes, eggs... I use it mostly for that. No need to stand there stirring, looking at the clock. Fire and forget and always perfectly cooked.
That's a pretty long name.
On a Operating system/free software level we're doing fine. Not great (still no true open source phone OS, Firefox has like 3% market share, lots of closed/unfixable hardware) but you can work and have fun using OSS and it's not going anywhere. On a global economy level we're as fucked as always. Big tech isn't going anywhere and 99% of people will choose convenience over ethics every single time. We're a minority here and always will be.
He's not making wrong predictions. He's lying to hype his products and make more money.
That's what I thought. Back in my days it was called CP.

Yep, programming is fun but working as a programmer not so much. For me writing software is a creative activity. It's fun to come up with problems and find solutions for them. In my personal projects I decide what problem I want to solve, choose the technology I think will be fun to solve it in and then come up with a solution I like.
At work you are usually handed a problem you don't care about (we're decommissioning X, you don't have to know why, just change everything to use Y), the solution is described in detail by someone else and you just have to turn it into some code using 5-10 years old stack.
Fortunately at my current job I mostly do projects without much technical oversight (proof-of-concept type project) so I can choose how I want to do then. I dislike the company culture but I know that moving somewhere else would mean going back to boring coding agian.
