Pretty sure he’d be the hermit in Monty Python’s “Life of Brian”.

It’s absolutely fine, even if something is missing you can solve that with distrobox or similar tools.

Nice post, thanks for sharing!

The simplicity of a lot of things, such as search engines giving you workable links, torrent pages didn’t have 11 buttons that said download. Even malware was innocent and you could avoid getting into trouble by avoiding Linkin-park_Hybrid-theory.exe

Why do we even care what these tech-bro ass hats think? We already collectively know his vision apply only to “poor people”.

So if you’re “disconnecting” and you spend the first few days just sleeping or staring at the TV, that’s pretty understandable. You’re paying off a fair bit of “rest debt”.

This is actually a very solid point, thanks!

One suggestion: instead of regularly turning off your phone, just permanently put it in silent mode.

These days, I even set it to flight mode and vibration only for notifications, and I usually never check my phone during working hours.

I love to read but have a really hard time choosing a book over television.

Have you tried audio books or podcasts? I usually switch off my screens around two hours prior to sleep and tend to listen to podcasts and audio books until I fall asleep. Important to remember is that the voice of the narrator is super important, so make you get one that make you feel comfortable.

If your energy peaks at a particular time of day, that’s when you should plan to exercise.

This is very sound advice and I can’t believe I didn’t think of it.

I’m going to go with Leopold II of Belgium because of the atrocities this fucker unleashed upon the democratic republic of the Kongo.

Kissinger also come to mind, but he’s not been dead long enough to be brought back yet, I think I’ll leave that fucker to a generation that doesn’t get hypertension just hearing the name.

Any purism product, overpriced, outdated and their hardware basically breaks when connecting it to external devices.

Actually really few instances of jerry rigging, but I do remember during my distro-hopping days where I used a binary gcc package to compile a more optimized binary of gcc. At the time, that felt pretty weird, but looking back I see why.

I think most adults skip running through high grass in shorts is the answer.
