Too real. The unimaginable weight that comes with running a successful piece of work is the reason I’ve stepped down from every. successful. project I’ve made.
A successful trait I’ve seen is the maintainer of the project is not someone who touches the code anymore. At a glance you’d think “What do they do?”, but the answer is a lot
Huge portions of the homeless (or even poor-looking people) in South Korea have randomly disappeared multiple times now. It also happened in 1988 when SK hosted the Olympics for optics
Police officers often received promotions based on the number of vagrants they had arrested, and owners of facilities received a subsidy based on the number of people held. There were multiple reports of inmates raped or beaten, and sometimes beaten to death.
Love these tips. To add on:
Environment:
- Don’t use your bed for anything but sleeping
- Wash your bedsheets at least once every 5 days
- Do not have any RGB lights visible
- If the sun is up or there’s light outside, close your curtains
Sleep time:
- Make sure to shower before bed
- Make sure to wash your hair at least every 3 days
- Make sure to brush your teeth before bed
- Do not use your phone in bed. At all. Zero.
- From the moment you’ve reached consciousness until the time you get out of bed in the morning should be <15 seconds
Once you get these nailed down, start training yourself with white noise. Any time you feel like you can fall asleep quickly, turn the whitenoise on. It trains your body like magic. Build up whitenoise habits over 2-3 months into more and more uncomfortable nights until you fall asleep with whitenoise every day. Keep this up for 6+ months. At this point, you will be able to turn whitenoise on and fall asleep in 30-60 seconds guaranteed, regardless of how sick/uncomfortable you are, and you can throw out half the things mentioned above (although you’ll probably want to keep them)
Once I got into good habits (going back to school + going to the climbing gym), I quickly ran out of free time, but life is good. That said there’s still a few hours of downtime each week.
Working on 2009scape or packaging Linux apps on Flathub. Procrastinating usually just leads to a few games of chess though, since coding at my job 10+ hours a day only leaves time to work on community projects when work is slow.
tl;dr Rasberry Pi hired an ex-cop who specialized in surveillance and major players in the fediverse got the Rasberry Pi mastodon instance defederated
I actually disagree with the other commenters and personally love this, it’s keeping companies accountable for their actions. Yeah, it’s legally fine to hire someone who specializes in anti-privacy (and then be stupidly arrogant about it), but now the power is in the people’s hands and they’re punishing you for it.
snap/ folder in the home directory is so disrespectful. I absolutely despise these apps that think they’re “too good” to follow proper xdg standard
The sandboxing issue is actually an important one that is being figured out at the xdg-protocol level. It affects Snaps, Flatpak, and any future goal of being able to run user-space apps in an environment more like Android or iOS, where it prompts a permission asking to access certain files/folders/cameras/etc on your device.
(If you don’t like that idea, don’t worry I’m sure you’re not alone and there will always be distros that follow the current status quo of “give everything”, but it’s a cool feature to have)
They broadcast all their notifications with priority set to 0, which overrides Do Not Disturb and custom notification filter settings.
Put less kindly, the developers are arrogant fucks. This reason alone is enough for me to package apps on Flathub.org.
(Play Runescape? Check out the 2009 emulation available as a Flatpak!)
I’ve been up and down all the common ones from AUR to Pacstall to Homebrew, and honestly Flatpak and AUR stand head and shoulders above the rest. There might be some more obscure ones out there but I’d doubt their catalog at this point if I haven’t heard of them
