>highest-in-the-nation 13.3% income tax rate

That sounds very comfortable and affordable

Does "everything else" work with wayland? Like is the compositor the only thing I need to get most applications running without too much hassle?

Disclaimer: I haven't read up anything on wayland and don't know too much about how X or it's mechanics work

Even better pro tip: Turn on your lights.

This looks really really interesting. Thank you for posting this!

Right now I am trying to build a quadruped robot and still a bit scared of that mathematics, but its awesome and I'll fight my way through it.

>why wouldn't I want to sit at home all day and play videogames?

Because having something you can live for is a basic psychologic need that everyone has. Aswell as social acknowledgement

As my favorite RFC 761 says: "be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others."

This has been here last year:

Also there are a few other things which come in handy like those two:

https://wiki.osdev.org/Raspberry_Pi_Bare_Bones

The cambridge tutorial is armv6 assembly only though. Which is kinda neat to poke around with, but not that much fun (imo). But doing baremetal for the raspberry is fun, just because it is a different architecture. The only problem I had with it was that the bcm-datasheet felt not very nice. It's kind of hard reading yourself through this. Or maybe it was so hard, because the topic in itself is pretty complex

For me it somehow shows a good point: Your architecture can be super weird and clusterfucked, but if it just works, people will use it neverthelesss.

I mean, you don't have to care about the architecture at all. You just throw some simple bits and characters at the screen and it displays that for you. I think the simplicity of that got these displays to the point where they are now

it's still not much harder. Just press F1, like in most applications or type "<programname> cheatsheet" into your favorite search engine. Takes less than a minute to figure it out.

https://duckduckgo.com/ does not have this problem. (And it has really good search results too)

As interesting as this website might be, this layout is awful. I am not able to scroll on the overlays and if my firefox window is too small I can't even see the links to wikipedia and sorts.

Plus I really dislike those slow animations and really can't stand them, but that's just preference I guess.

This.

In the past year I have cleaned my mess of (social media) accounts and got rid of everything that is not needed and switched over to RSS (with Liferea). It works perfectly fine. No annoying notifications, no unnecessary mails, just new News when I feel like opening my RSS feed. A wonderful thing.

Or you could just use some other service than facebook. Like signal or xmpp.

This is basically what i learned in my 1 1/2 years oft psychotherapy. You really have to ask yourself stuff like "what's wrong with my schedule?"

The answer could be something trivial like: "I waste too much time browsing hacker news after work. I need to stop that!". But it's not easy to just stop that. Better ask yourself a second question like: " what could I do instead?" And then just find a tiny little thing you could improve. Every tiny step can be a huge improvement
