I'd say they not just barely received a slap — they are continued to be praised for "contribution into country economy".

Totally. The only kinda downside is that it has frozen root partition, so you have to work around if you want some console utilities. Not a problem for most people, though — mostly for folks that prefer console over GUI, like me.

The issue with "sovereign" clouds is that because they are managed by US company, US govt can make company to give data from that servers. If company is European, the space for enforcing is much smaller.

Me neither. The quality of roads is beyond excellent, and usually roads that are considered "worse" are still much better than those considered better right outside EU. And they are driveable by even low-clearance cars[1]! It makes even less sense for EVs, taking into account that added weight of an SUV increases cost and lowers the reach of a car.

I have only two assumptions, first one being: everyone got into belief that SUVs/crossovers have more space than sedans of same size. Which really is an illusion, and even sellers usually say, where the sizes match. In fact, a kombi car will have so much more space, compared to SUV, that it is really impossible to compare.

Another assumption is feeling like a Cool Guy®. Even today I saw a guy riding a BMW, which has bunch of "turbo power" stickers, while sitting alone in a crossover. It's like Macs, which are very average laptops, but everyone wanted them, because of an Apple effect.

[1]: Here I mean cars with clearance about 10cm

I'd say that the best solution would be to switch from "sovereign" clouds to EU-based clouds. It will not just save EU countries from US spying on them. This supoprts the fact that there was recently an article, where M$ acknowledged they cannot guarantee they won't give out the data even from "sovereign" clouds to US government. So, it is kind of obvious step :)

Well, the issue is that when you are being rewarded for the work you are doing, the motivation for why you are doing it changes: and the higher is the reward, the less you stay interested in doing things (with very rare exceptions). That was noticed during some researches [wanted to reference some, though can't find links quickly], and it kind of makes a definition of "work" to work differently than "have a passion and you won't work a day".

That is a reason why we need this distinction: not all people need to be incentivised by money for literally everythign they do. Sometimes people need to do something just because they want to, over what they need to to get going with their lives.

There is a disclaimer though, which kind of brings hope:

This is an initial version of the software, developed solely for the purpose of demonstrating the business flow of the solution. It is not intended for production use, and does not yet include the full set of functional, security, or integration features required for a live deployment.

This makes me to thinkgof this solition as of a risk for now (high one, though, with modern approach of shipping PoCs)

This is too much of a truth.

I've been having this exact feeling for a week already: a colleague was making me outraged to I state I can't work, and all I was able to say was "nevermind, let it be your way, I am tired of trying to convince you"

Sorry about that 😅 In short, here is what I meant:

• I've tried a lot of things and systems
• the thing that worked the best was to buy a nice fountain pen and drop the structure whatsoever

I've tried all popular and popularized ways to do it, and I've been having hard time with it a lot. Here is a short list I can think if off top of my head:

• paper journals — structured (bullet journal), unstructured
• Obsidian
• RoamResearch
• evernote
• vimwiki

I've noticed that to me, the tool must be a perfect fit, otherwise I will just forget about it and stop using it.

So, now I use a paper notebook with Lamy Safari, and keep literally no system (except for writing down date and place — I don't even write things down every day!). With that, I can keep journaling and taking adequate notes at work with at least some level of consistency — that I don't miss any information in the process. That is what worked for me :)

The saddest thing for me is that it is 90% impossible to drink gin-tonic without paying to Coca-Cola in Poland. For other 10%, the price of tonic is almost same as the price for gin :/

My issue is that if I don't keep them in check, I can just rage out on people, and will just regret of it. Hence the distraction, to prolongue the emotion in time, and to make the emotion intensity curve less steep.
