In Indonesian, there’s an idiom “guru kencing berdiri, murid kencing berlari” which literally translates to teacher pee standing, students pee running. Meaning that students/followers learn not only good examples but the bad as well, and will one day be better at it than their predecessors.
Hey dude, similar experience here.
I grew up a minority, and went to study abroad where my ethnicity is the majority, then stayed for work. People would assume I’m local by my appearance, and as long as I don’t have to speak, I’m blending in. I visit home quite often, once in one or two years, but every time, the feeling of being an outsider grows. I haven’t been contacting most of my friends for a while, and my personal values have changed. As you said, parents are ageing, streets are different, and the empty lots I used to play in have been built.
Even though I said I feel more welcome in my current residence, being a foreigner means some landlords don’t let me rent their apartment, and some banking services aren’t open for me. Can’t buy properties either.
I feel like an outsider anywhere I go, and I come from a country with stupidly weak passport. Can’t have multiple nationalities either.
But I’ll visit home often, and spend more time with my family. Time flies and things change too quickly, it’ll be good to celebrate what little we have.
So the article from valve is to support those who use NTFS anyway, but if I’m formatting the lib drive as BTRFS, it should be buttery smooth? (Probably not that smooth but gotta make the pun)
Thanks for the recommendation, will definitely look into this!
It’s like that in most of East Asia (and Southeast as well). I don’t know what will turn that around, Thailand’s cannabis legalization was the only hope but that is also at risk of being taken back.
I see, you’re probably right…I remember trying mounting ext4 drive on Windows and couldn’t get it to work. I’ll probably experiment a little with NTFS, maybe the devs have worked it out? But I’ll keep your warning in mind. Thanks for the input!
I see…that could probably affect a shared steam library I guess? I’m aiming to use almost exclusively though, wish me luck!
Glad you’re happy with EOS, I hope it will fit me as well.
While I don’t have technical issues with Windows so far… they are obviously having a massive FOMO at the shitty cash-grab business model of many tech platforms (especially with the rumor of Win 12…) and I’m not OK with that.
Thanks for your reply! That’s reassuring.
Yes, it’s already a bit shitty, so it’s time to be an active part of the Linux community. Year of the Linux desktop amirite!
Persona 5 Royal.
Got a new job this year! Will start next year and I’ll have some time off in between so I can visit my family.
And his sandals.
I’d assume driving would be the worst for mental health since you don’t get any exercise and can’t do anything else either. You can finish some work or read a book on the train, or get some exercise through walking or biking, but with cars none of these.
Dude, nobody’s obsessed with their genitals but the zealots…
Best of luck to you too!
Sorry, it’s just the “I set the bar too low” meme 😅. Yes, I’m currently in Taiwan.
Thanks! Hope for good things ahead to us all.
I’m all supportive for the reduction of meat consumption, but I believe even collective individual action won’t cut it.
Well, I totally agree with you. I somewhat fall into that category as well (younger-ish generation anxious for the future).
I thought we have phased out hexavalent chromium from almost 20 years ago?? Am I missing something…
