  • Totally agree about the endless meetings and never feeling good enough, always chasing a new technology, never satisfied.

    I think its insane that we as engineers are supposed to sit in open offices and im on my way to quit my job also. Office politics, people are rewarded for being in office rather then being productive at home. And the commute, the colleagues, everything is exhausting.

    I’ve been starting to look at how to escape the matrix and stop this madness somehow. I cant do this until im 65 and gets sick and old. I wont.

    Emotionally mature women do calm down. It just depends on the level of trust she has in what you say.

    If you are known to her as someone she trusts and listens to, then she will consider if you are right and start to calm down if she thinks you are.

    But it depends a bit on age and maturity and life experiences and all sorts of things.



  • Maybe 90% of fascists are men… It doesnt really matter if 10% are women in the context of things. We just need people to stop being fascist.

    Maybe its too late. There are a lot of forces literally programming people into being fascists. You need to think outside the programming to realize what you have turned into.

    Same thing at work. Bosses trying to make workers produce maximum output by making them feel appreciated when they work all the time, and otherwise not.

    Its time to stop falling for all these tricks, and sometimes make hard decisions to improve your wellbeing.

    You also dont need a woman/man (partner) to feel good about yourself. Its not like its some magical creature that validates your self respect. Just stop it.

    I dont really feel the need to talk about traumas with my guy friends. I like to have a good time and laugh instead. :)

    Also when im at the gym, I think its great. Every guy is kind of quiet or having a good time with a friend.

    The women i listened to were talking about some sad story and seemingly shared some difficult thing (I dont know for sure).


  • Spread information about it. Use those shitty big tech social networks to constantly post and show people what is possible. At least then they can be fairly useful instead of chatting about what Trump or Musk or Zuck decided to say today to get their daily narcissist emotional needs met.

    I dont have accounts and wont get accounts but if you do, do that.

    But yeah, honestly? We are fucked. There wont be any motivation for humans to express their humanity through art or music unless its for making money. Absolutely everything will be Ai generated and full of shit.

    Humans will long for real connections to other humans. But since there is also a huge agenda to make us fight eachother over race, gender, class, opinions, anything… I dont know if we can connect as well anymore.

    At least outside of this fucking tech i do feel I have real connections with people. Im grateful for that, because loneliness is horrible.

    Its like having a junior developer with a world of confidence just change shit and spend hours breaking things and trying to fix them, while we pay big tech for the privilege of watching the chaos.

    I asked chat gpt to give me a simple squid proxy config today that blocks everything except https. It confidently gave me one but of course it didnt work. It let through http and despite many attempts to get a working config that did that, it just failed.

    So yeah in the end i have to learn squid syntax anyway, which i guess is fine, but I spent hours trying to get a working config because we pay for chat gpt to do exactly that…

    I actually do think speed limits are for people who cant drive… They do annoy me… And I cant do anything about that…

    I feel happy when going slightly faster than speed limit. Traffic flows and things are good. But people who drive exactly the speed limit and blocking others, thats incredibly annoying. Usually they stay in the right lane though so I can pass, thank god.

    I also dont read the entire contract, I kind of trust its going to be OK, so guess im also an idiot. :)

    You should be happy its the first you hear about it. It wasnt popular when it came and it never became popular and still it took a decade to fucking die.

    It got bundled with Firefox in June 2015 and now exactly 10 years later, its finally gone.
