Did it? We’re still here.

Right? For me the free as in freedom always had the upside and downside of people have the freedom to use it how they want. Within the very lenient license which might be in use of course. This can include the freedom to do things with the software which the creators and contributors might not agree with or like.

But in the end a certain trust in humanity and the concept of freedom itself mean that we believe the net sum of making your software free will be positive for everyone. And to this day I haven’t managed to become enough of a cynic to change my mind on this.

Its possible to dicuss licenses which helps prevent certain abuse cases. In fact those already exist. However people talk like this is the main issue of FOSS which I don’t think it is at all.

The butocracy can be absolute hell as are a huge emphasis on being punctual.

But at least we got a decent enough Healthcare to actuslly get therapy and meds if you need them. It’s barred behind said hellish butocracy. But at least it is there.

Just a normal alarm timer app.

Forget appointments? Lose track of time when doing things? I set timers. Most apps allow recurring timers. For example I got one going off twice each day to remind me to drink some water.

I gotta leave in 40 minutes so I got some time to read or whatever. If I don’t set an alarm I’ll lose track of time and be late. Easy fix.

As far as habits go.

Be honest with myself about my shortcomings. If I start gaming at 9 pm it won’t be half an hour. Be honest. Go to bed now or accept it will be midnight.

No, I won’t just do that later. I will forget. Write it down or do it now. Else I will forget.

I do make more deliberate choices on what I expose myself to content and general life experience wise. Because when it comes down to it I don’t have a say in where the next hyperfixation takes me.

For example I am staying the hell away from trading card games because I enjoy being able to pay my rent.

Some games have so much setup required that it cuts too deep into the game time.

Imo Gloomhaven is only worth playing if you can leave everything on the table in the basement until the next session.

I can relate so much. I’ve had both happen several times. I’m currently back to the plan of minimum effort but it’s hard.

Whenever I’ve gotten a fun hobby I just think about it all the time and it becomes so hard to focus on my job and even harder to force myself to do the same boring shit every day. Can’t wait to get home too finally do something fun and interesting with my life.

I only know the German translation where the name is Petterson.

Petterson is iconic but he would be nothing without Findus.

Same. I got his book as an ebook and read it. It offers some decent if simple advice and draws some really weird and false conclusions in other places. But overall it isn’t a bad book and I never felt like he argued on bad faith. But eventually I decided I don’t agree with his views overall.

Later he went a bit weird eating only meat and making weird arguments so idk. But before that I totally understood how he could suck people into the right wing bubble.

I found the meme police.

The sequel to Groundhog Day nobody ever wanted.

Hao can u still taip?

For me it was life changing good advice. But it depends on the individual I guess.

Can’t even arm. Stoopid hooman tech.

Ferminirsts tryna take away mah stiiiicks.

I’ve been enjoying this game a lot. Thanks for posting the video.

That’s a thing? Like relaxing? I don’t think I have experienced that.

And then end up never using any consumables. Yep that’s me.
