Unity enchances willpower.
Unity in name of Peace, also in name of cooperation, also in name of disarmament, also in name of open borders, also in name of liberation increases the will towards Peace.
I have upgraded my laptop RAM from 2GB to 8GB. It is amazing how, in middle of 2022, I was using a laptop with as little as 2GB of RAM! All thanks to Linux, Zram and ArchLinux :-D

Being constantly angry and outraged at the constantly terrible world events means that you have basic human empathy but it also means that you are being constantly traumatized.
Remember that you can't help others unless you help yourself first.

Today I finally deactivated my Instagram account.
Boycott gnu!
gnu/Emacs is theft from James Gosling code!
Everyone should see this video:

The hell with free software movement! Fuck you Stallman!
Today, I have learned how to use mutt's regular expressions. It is awesome.
This can change my current email directory structure. I finally feel like I can retrieve any information out of my emails :-)
One of my best moves was start using mutt and ditching Thunderbird.
Thunderbird is still the best GUI for email, but so much RAM usage for reading email? :-/
Mutt is way better!

Stages of debugging: (1) That can't happen. (2) That doesn't happen on my machine. (3) That shouldn't happen. (4) Why does that happen? (5) Oh, I see. (6) How did that ever work? -- M.W.Cremer

Recently a new community project started:

A curated list of providers and tools for filtering. The machine-readable list of providers can be integrated in XMPP clients to simplify registration.

And just a free-floating annoyance: why do so many presenters, MCs, etc want me to convince them I’m happy to be there?
“MAKE SOME NOISE”
[wooh]
“THAT’S NOT GOOD ENOUGH”
Well too damn bad we ain’t paying our money to address your fragile self-esteem.
I am starting to call things by its name. Instead of the name 'big tech' I am calling it 'big surveillance', until big tech companies start to act more human towards others.
'Big surveillance' is a more accurate description of those companies.
'Big tech' is misleading, because these companies don't innovate as much as one might think. Innovation is mostly done by small players that get robbed/integrated by big tech companies.

anyone know of any options for minimising grid usage for inner city apartment renters? I did like the idea of charging devices from a solar powered battery pack but not sure how feasible it is for longer term use
