    I just try to except that it will be like you described. I know the feeling all to well. By not stressing over it chances are way higher I’ll come around doing at least something.

    It’s a vicious cycle: if you try every day to do something but never actually do it, you unconsciousness will learn to not do the thing. You haven’t done it the last 30 times, why this time?

    Instead, accept that the way you are trying or the goals you have set won’t work for you. Change your goals, make them smaller. Instead of “I’ll clean my entire room today”, which is a grueling task, the goal could be: every time I walk into the kitchen, I’ll take one thing with me, that belongs in the kitchen.

    Your goals should not be cleaning everything, your goal should be to find a way that makes it easy for you to start.

    accept that your motivation system works differently and don’t be angry at yourself.

    Just my two cents. Stay strong and accept yourself


  • Same for me, no TV for the last 15 years. All I consume is online and about topics I like.

    TBs of data per day? You know how much text fits into 1tb? o.O

    Anyway, we seem to enjoy a pretty similar type of entertainment. For me, it’s all about liking what I do. I can’t stand doing things I dislike at all.

    Lemme ask you about ADHD?! I’m pretty sure I have it but don’t care. I am who I am. How about you?


  • I have a theory: information is best remembered if it is acquired solving a problem.

    Play with the new tech, hit a roadblock, read and learn. That way you are motivated, know why you are reading the stuff and also only learn the stuff that isn’t intuitive.

    Depending on experience many things are just like something you already know and easy to learn/remember, others are not. Don’t waste your time learning the first.

    On the other hand, put me into a room with a teacher, who tries to teache me specifics about a tech I don’t care about and I will promise you, I will learn nothing. Even worse, I will start to hate that tech.




  • non technical people are doing pretty well, because they don’t try to install photoshop or nvidia drivers downloaded from the nvidia drivers page.

    The “windows power user” are the hardest demographic, because they expect to know what they are doing but the don’t if they are new to linux.

    What did LTT write in the terminal again: “i know that this opperation will delete my gui and i am sure that i want that”, presses enter and wonders why his gui is gone. go figure







  • I find it rather amusing that big servers are optimized to never fail with redundant pdus and fans and the like but as soon as you have to restart such a device, prepare for 10-20 minute downtime.

    My take is: before we had ssds so that a shitty configured windows pc could take up to 5-10 mins to boot, that really was a problem. Nowadays, especially were many devices use suspend instead of shutdown and are much faster, not any more.

    On the other hand, my fucking smart tv takes 2 minutes to boot and i hate it.


  • There is a big difference. If a platform belongs to a single entity, you can pressure that entity especially if its profit driven. If there are thousands interconnected platforms that only share an open protocol the most you can do is shutdown a single instance. That’s why an open protocol creating decentralized instances is so much different than a centralized platform. It’s like trying to ban email or censor speak: not that has never been tried, but that is a whole different cup of tea.





  • “Allowed and supported” is something different then “its possible”. The article mentions some points that seemingly haven’t been “supported” in the past:

    • Stop requiring Google Play Billing for apps distributed on the Google Play Store (the jury found that Google had illegally tied its payment system to its app store)
    • Let Android developers tell users about other ways to pay from within the Play Store
    • Let Android developers link to ways to download their apps outside of the Play Store
    • Let Android developers set their own prices for apps irrespective of Play Billing

    Google also can’t:

    • Share app revenue “with any person or entity that distributes Android apps” or plans to launch an app store or app platform
    • Offer developers money or perks to launch their apps on the Play Store exclusively or first
    • Offer developers money or perks not to launch their apps on rival stores
    • Offer device makers or carriers money or perks to preinstall the Play Store
    • Offer device makers or carriers money or perks not to preinstall rival stores

    Thanks Mr. Epic Judge
