What's the last product you've seen that still uses this color system?

Had to double check to make sure it wasn't an Onion article.

He certainly has been having a crisis, and as someone else mentioned here, recently read Meditations by Marcus Aurelius and tried to mimic the writing.

But instead, came across as another stressed, lost mind with their head too buried in social media, thinking they have to be at their absolute highlight of their life at any given moment.

I feel sorry for this wife he "courted", she probably asks him to at least help with the dishes sometimes but is responded with another tyrade of "You don't understand, woman, I need to focus on my God-given task of building my little blog with my intellectual friends"

Glad to see this, as someone who has almost only been with people with depression, this article was a very aggressive "You're not doing enough, you're doing it wrong, you're not trying hard enough, you should be doing better" which is hypocritical. The post did not come from a place of compassion or support, but entitlement. This article doesn't understand how hard it is to listen to hours, days, months, years of a person you care about constantly speaking of ending their life. "Just Listen" may be good advice for the first 50 hours or so, but after that is absolutely not a productive suggestion.

All of those with depression who I have been with do a combination of:

- Sleep small amounts of absurd hours

- Eat junk foods

- Spend all their time on video games, YouTube, TV shows, social media

- No exercise

- Take substances such as caffeine or other recreational drugs

And it is indeed coddling that has gotten them to this point. The general response may be "It is so easy for you to say and do", but it really isn't easy for anyone.

With an increase in people who either identify as or are diagnosed with depression, they have continued to claw at other aspects to blame, and it's now shifting to blaming "loved ones" for "failing" them.

In Australia, one of the big reasons have been invasive surveillance - They have multiple cameras set up inside, tracking how many seconds you are looking here or there. If it detects your eyes not doing what the AI deems acceptable, then it pings your manager up in his executive chair and they get to yell at you.

Basically takes your attention completely out of driving the truck and doing your job, to deliberately making actions to stay within the allowed parameters of AI.

Thank you for sharing with photos.

Where do you go for winters? Is it the same place your official registered address is?

I'm glad they got rid of most of them - the description text on startup settings such as "Start minimized" or "Start on bootup" were sentences such as "Have Discord greet you like a good boy", "Have Discord stay in the tray like a good boy"

While it's not trying to downplay anything like OP, it was certainly strange and creepy seeing software adopt Reddit English.

I do agree - If there are two employees with the same work output, the one who took the time and effort to pave his way to replacement is going to be let go first.

This also has happened to me multiple times.

And to the comments saying the employer could "replace you any time" - most cases, they just don't know how to do so, or have the time and money to do so.

This strange article teaches you to do your employer's job by making it easier to replace you.

With Sublime Text, I enjoy not having to turn off data collection and thinking about if updates enable them again.

Great time to read some books if you haven't already.

It's a nice nostalgic reminder of what the web used to be - when it was just made up of people wanting to express their interests. A time where ads, tracking and Javascript weren't a thing.

"to have it off", is what I meant to say there.

When you install it, the first window they show you is a Terms of service agreement that has "Agree" "Disagree" buttons - except, it's not a Terms of Service agreement. It's an agreement to turn the program on.

So you have to click "Disagree" and continue the install to have it on.

Though it's cool that someone's trying to help with the JavaScript problem on the internet, since this can't run without JavaScript it only seems to add to the problem.

Still great to see people trying different approaches in avoiding that mess.
