And does it get easier to manage as you start to get used to it and make a routine?
European here. I worked many years for 40h/week and I never got used to it, really. There was not enough spare time in my life to enjoy it (especially, since commuting to work took off even more useful time). I neglected cleaning my room, postponed important appointments as much as possible and I was often too tired to do the things I love.
Since 2024, I now work 30h/week, completely from home. I have every Friday off and Thursday is a short day. My life has improved drastically. I am no longer tired all the time, I’m more motivated at work and I am actually capable of going to concerts, parties, cinema. It’s amazing.
Every human is built different. I realized I absolutely cannot function having a 9to5 job from Monday to Friday.
Only as long as Gabe Newell runs it. After that it will enshittify like any other company that needs to make profits.
I tried that Replika app before AI was trendy
Same here, it was unbelievably shallow. Everything I liked it just mimiced, without even trying to do a simulation of a real conversation. “Oh you like cucumbers? Me too! I also like electronic music, of course. Do you want some nudes?”
Even when I’m at my loneliest, I still prefer to be lonely than have a “conversation” with something like this. I really don’t understand how some people can have relationships with an AI.
I regularly visit https://vogons.org/ to talk about retro computers.
TV: Do you ever feel scared? He’s the richest man in the world.
VW: He’s a pathetic man-child. Why would I feel scared of him? Ohhh, he has so much power. Nah, nah, nah. I don’t give a fk. Why should I be scared of this man? Because he’s rich? Oh, no, I’m trembling. Ooh, shivering in my boots here. I don’t give a fk how much money anyone has. I don’t. I really don’t. He owns Twitter. Okay. Congratulations.
Absolutely based. The pathetic man-child was probably fuming when reading those lines. :)
Rewatched that recently. I was really surprised how dark it sometimes gets for a kids’ show. It still holds up really well!
I’m a webdev and I mainly work with Vanilla JS, React and PHP - I use phpStorm now. Everything mostly works out of the box, it auto-detects my PHP environment, composer install (which is basically just npm for PHP), nice-to-have features like Stylelint and ESLint are also integrated and enable themselves by default if specific config files are found inside a project folder…it’s just nice. Open a project, see it do all of its magic, start to code.
Previously I’ve worked with VSCode and I needed a plugin for every single feature and every plugin had its own settings that you needed to be aware of. It was horrible. I was configuring my own IDE more than I was actually writing code. I get that it’s probably more flexible than phpStorm, but I just don’t have time do dig into plugin settings all of the time - and god forbid I work with a project from another developer and he uses a different extension than me for Stylelint or formatting .md files…
Yeah, she got us all really hyped up before Porter came on. He was so nice! He even forgot the lyrics for one of his songs, because he was a little nervous, so he started to beatbox randomly 🤣
Porter Robinson and underscores, a few days ago.
“It’s cold outside, there’s no kind of atmosphere” is stuck in my head forever.
…and the jumping off a plane, riding on a crocodile, killing a nazi scene.
I have a GPD Win Max 2 (2024 model). Battery lasts for 8-10 hours of work (coding, some browsing, occasional video) and it can run Cyberpunk with Raytracing. It’s an absolutely amazing little device.
I believe it cost around ~1400€ for the 64GB model and they just released the 2025 model with doubled CPU cores.
And yes, Linux (Fedora 41) runs on it without any issues. There’s no driver for the fingerprint reader yet, but some hackers are working on it.
Einfach locker durch die Hose atmen.
Not really, everything else should just work. At least if you don’t plan to buy an obscure USB sound card or something like that 😄
Have fun!
Nvidia drivers on Linux are messy and have been for a long time. It took them ages to fix Vsync in Wayland. If you want to run Linux, go AMD (or Intel).
This specific brown noise makes my brain shut down fast. Jason Lewis is a genius.
Open World, meaningful (and hard choices), excellent writing. It’s the best game I’ve played in recent years. It can also run on a potatoe, but that shouldn’t be a problem for you. :)
I’ll finally power through the Korean course I bought on Udemy this year. And maybe also learn the instruments I bought two years ago (keyboard and drum machine).
…who am I kidding, I probably won’t do any of those things. 🤣
It’s the current header image from ionomycin on Tumblr. I’m afraid there’s no higher res version :(
I guess we could ask him to release one… :)
