The biggest problem with this approach is basically Facebook saying that you have to pay for a right, meaning, if the law tells you that you can, and should, always have a say if you are followed around or not, you mist have that capability. What Facebook is doing is put a right behind a paywall, which is absurd
That is for sure a plague on amazon right now. That and product swapping while keeping reviews. I wonder when this stuff get curbed, but something tells me amazon is getting enough money to overlook this
Seller response when people point out the sneakers are fake: he he The moment Amazon closes down the store and listings and stops all customer support on sales: not he he
The way his eyes are striked out I thought for a second he had a red vr headset on him
At the time I think in most western Europe teletext was a thing. Imagine you had this menu on the TV with pages that have graphics of the Atari 2600, and you access by inserting 3 digits codes on the page, seeks the page for you, and presents what’s in there. This was, in a nutshell, teletext
If I had to know what was on TV this was the best way. The only other way for me was to check the paper with the TV listings or some magazine, and teletext was just infinite times better to check
At some point much later teletext even go a chat function. Was with SMS, extremely expensive.Soome people went ham on the relationships zone (and at some point there was also a 18+ zone for dirty talk during the night)
Want to kmow the weather, lottery results, TV channel program for the day and other info? Go to your TV and check the teletext
I think in this instance is a bit different, we are talking about reaction in this case to the supposed aggressor. I won’t lie I am guilty of this myself at times, but this can also be detrimental on many interactions (depending if we are talking about a stranger vs a friend or family member). To be clear, we as humans are hardwired to always prioritize our well being first, and sometimes that does contradict on how our behavior is expected. However, on every instance of these events we should be able to first think how we should react and then do something about it (on a flight or fight situation this does not exist, since at that point our reflexes and reactions prioritize our well being first no matter what). Meaning, for the most part we should try to behave in a way that de escalates a situation instead of escalating. And for my understating, this is where the kindness argument comes in. If a situation can be de escalated by not responding on the same way as the aggressor, you can potentially get out of the aggression situation to a more neutral ground.
PS: regarding your internalization bit, I cannot say what is the best way to live your life, but from my personal experience, having someone to just talk to about these subjects can be extremely valuable. Just by offloading in a constructive way to someone (meaning, no lashing out) can relieve a massive burden out of you (and as for me, I do not believe in the methods where there is not feedback, e.g.: diaries, but that is my take)
I am not from the US, but I do see in many places (if not all) this “us vs them” mentality. From what I know, specifically in politics, by giving a “face” to a specific problem and then lash out on that “face” to have more influence has been a constant lately (I believe the rise of the extreme right has a lot to do with this). In general, I am a firm believer emotional intelligence is in extreme short supply everywhere. We need to have more understanding how we should behave with ourselves and others. Society wise needs to change as well, but that is a tall order…
You are not wrong in your thinking. However ,if someones lashes at you, then you by turn lash out to someone else unrelated to your issues, and then by consequence that person lashes out again on someone unrelated, very quickly becomes a very long and complicated chain that you simply can’t stop from coming at you, but you can stop it from spreading once it reaches you. This has been debated for a very long time as the cycle of rage, which to be honest, I am not sure if we have a way out completely. Maybe over time we care more about emotional intelligence and make these problems less prevalent (but I would not bet on that)
For me was not grand parents but my dad was referring me ALL the time to other people that went to his workshop that I “know about computers” (almost is some sort of arcane knowledge). I remember once somebody approached me with the typical question:
I just left even before he finished the sentence. My dad later that day asked me why I was rude to someone (I know it was this guy). I just told him “imagine you know about cars and somebody asks you fix their fridge”. Didn’t even need to say more.
So for some people in my place, " knowing about computers " means arcane knowledge with nearly everything with a digital screen on it.
I was reading about it and I actually like a lot this solution’s principle. It reminds me a lot of puppet which I have seen before (for other kind of tasks) to orchestrate several computers. Big shame it works on windows though, since I have a server with docker on ubuntu server at this point and was not really looking forward to change that. But thanks for the suggestion, is for sure very interesting
Nowadays I sort of do this with seafile. Select folders to sync, open the app every other time to resync stuff, carry on with your day. The only thing I wanted to take away if there is a better way to not have a massive hassle to reinstall everything in case something happens (and in case I forget to select a folder to sync also).
But your suggestion I think is very valid as well. At least for mint have a way to make a more automated installer or similar to get the stuff I use usually. Yet another rabbit hole to go into…
I checked a couple of times time shift, but it’s a shame not even ftp is allowed as a backup destination.
As for restic, will give a check later
EDIT: just read about restic, and I think this can be the solution I was looking for. Docker image is available and all, so for me that is a big plus. Once I have the chance I will test drive it and see where it goes. Thanks!
Had to search for a while what even pxe boot is, but I believe I came around the suggestion. I like fogproject main idea, sounds like a way to deploy thin clients or similar. Not exactly what I am looking for,but it’s good to know this exists. Thanks!
For me feels someone is chasing a KPI on PSN users that, quite frankly, gives no one but Sony executives satisfaction on bigger number = better number. Steam on that sense made the correct decision to give back the money on people that cannot play a game anymore because of a future requirement (as mentioned by op, not everywhere psn exists). But for me, even if psn is available, you should be able to refuse to further engage on a game based on a future requirement like this and get the money back (same applies if for instance a game all of a sudden has something like denuvo).
So my take away of this is: please, get rid of kpis, it’s about time we learn to get away from hard metrics that can be cheated
