Have you tried the fediverse yet? I happen to particularly like Lemmy.

The joke relies on a German pun. The word imposant (“imposing” or “impressive”) is humorously reinterpreted as sounding like im Po Sand (“sand in your butt”). The punchline then escalates the imagined contents from sand to stones and finally to rubble/gravel, creating an absurd and crude “comparison of degrees” of imposant. The humor comes from the phonetic wordplay and the increasingly ridiculous imagery.

This one only works in German.

Wie steigert man imposant? Im Hintern Steine, im Arsch Geröll!

Not a start up, but we require code review, even though it is not enforced via rules, to allow emergency overrides.

Gets used maybe once every 300 pull requests though.

Convention over configuration is a thing - so maybe look into their actual merge behavior?

I Like the idea, But the Implantation ist complicated enough, that it Acts as a high Barrier to entry

No fighting back can be perfect, we will have to wait to find out if that is a deliberate strategy like Russia does it, or an actual mistake.

What you describe sounds like competence. If you know you can do it, it’s way easier to stay calm.

Some people just have a differently wired brain. But everyone can get competent.

It’s not actually important to succeed, you will learn a kot trying. But it sure does feel good using software you helped create.

Use a software you like, find something you would change about it, report a bug and get maintainer approval, try your hand at it.

You write because it organizes your thoughts better. Every other reason I feel will not sustain the effort.

Me thinks it’s his soul going to heaven.

I really like markdown with possibly frontmatter for this reason.

I try to go for simple data Formats, not least, because I can later reuse these second brains from my locally hosted ai much easier.

Also because I do not want my second brain to be on the clutches of any cloud company.

Oldie but Goldie.

Note that flat earth society are anti flat earthers.

You have a problem, say an accident, even one you are yourself to blame.

You or someone else calls an ambulance, you go to the hospital, you get help, then you go home and life continues.

The total absence of problems and even thinking about cost is very much quality of life and means smaller problems get fixed before they get really expensive for you and in effect for society.

I would say you are not paranoid, but the reasons you have equally apply to non Chinese Games and social networks.

So to be consistent, either not play Games and get off of social networks, or do it.

I don’t care?

Holy… that is buttery smooth and plays really well on an iPhone!

Install a vm (or use wsl) and just work in Linux in there.

You get root, and can use software that respects you. For a speed penalty of course.

Alternative, if you like your Platform not enshitified. I do.
