Im good at building simple tech architectures by saying no to tech we dont need.
Unfortunately nobody listens, management keeps forcing the fastest shitty duck tape solution, and thinking its a great idea to copy paste entire tech environments because its the fastest.
Lols.
Its more of an attitude than a stare I think. A few days ago i went into Bauhaus to get some stuff and the gen z people in customer support was so bored out of their minds. They hated being alive and doing stupid trivial shit to help customers like me. I understand it. Pay is probably awful and they waste their best days of their lives sitting in that place working for a corporation.
I kind of like the attitude they have.
Its not really the most depressing news of the week. Trump opened his mouth many times this week. But yeah, clear Linux never even felt like a viable option. It had good performance but you wouldnt notice that in a day to day desktop experience anyway.
I dont use subscription services but graphics card, yes i do.
What do we even need from America?
The EU should add 100% tax on American restaurants like mcdonalds and burger king, they are pretty much universal health hazards anyway.
But the EU will back down as it always does.
I hope you also can get out of the rat race when you feel you had enough. :) For me I just got sick of it at 50.
In dollars, about 500.000. So if stocks go up 1%, thats 5000 dollars.
My monthly costs are about half of that. So im thinking it should work out fine. Its a risk of course, but its not a huge risk to take. I think its going to be fine.
Like the previous poster said, there is a whole world out there where this sort of thing is very cheap.
In the west, everything is very expensive simply because people have the money to pay that much for it. We are working our entire lives with temporary relief now and then with overpriced alcohol. It sucks.
Im getting off the 9 to 5 myself this year and living on savings and stock market. Cant waste more of my life at work anymore but im 50 now and worked for 25 years. Im expected to continue working until im 70, but fuck that.
Most of the content here is from twitter, so yeah...
We may not be using twitter but we are discussing content from twitter.
Its a bit depressing actually. There isnt other websites where things happen that would be more interesting to actually talk about...
I think it makes sense. Save all you can, get out of the 9-5 as soon as you can. America in particular has turned insane, and they have a lot of influence on the western world and the global economy unfortunately.
Look out for ourselves, best you can.
We went from 9/11 to covid to batshit crazy in a few decades over there. I dont know why, but something changed at the core. Im not a religious guy but I sometimes wonder.
You will bond with the kid later, not now. I think its pretty common for dads to connect much later. You didnt carry the kid so you have no connection yet.
Give it time but also stop doing all unnecessary work. You cant emotionally connect if you are always tired and you associate the kid only with screaming in the background.
Sounds reasonable. The time and energy ive lost on trying very confident chat gpt suggestions that doesnt work must be weeks at this point.
Sometimes its very good though and really helps, which is why its so frustrating. You never know if its going to work before you go through the process.
It has changed how me and coworkers work now also. We just talk to chat gpt instead of even trying to look something up in the docs and trying to understand it. Too slow to do that now, it feels like. There is a pressure to solve anything quickly now that chat gpt exists.
