    The number of people in college that didn’t know Office has built-in citation management boggled me. Or how tab stops work. Or how to use fricking styles and page templates instead of setting everything manually (that one goes for PowerPoint as well).

    …then again, most of them used Google Docs. sigh




  • I don’t think the ADHD necessarily gets worse, it’s more often that the consequences get worse.

    I.e. the intensity of the disorder relative to a given set of stimuli doesn’t increase, but the average significance of the stimuli (and consequently the outcome of one’s reaction to them) does increase.

    You could argue that’s a meaningless distinction, but perhaps it’s a helpful change in perspective for someone.





  • For anyone reading this on a Debian-based system, you can get a good start without risking removing anything important like this:

    1. Run apt-mark showmanual, and copy any package names you don’t think you need into a list.
    2. Run apt-mark auto <pkg1> <pkg2> ...
    3. Run apt autoremove




  • Stop paying, same as any other boycott? I’ve done this thought experiment before, and while I think tenant unions are possible (and very much needed), they definitely aren’t as simple to implement as labor unions.

    To start, people would need to live more minimalistically so that “just moving out” can at least be a (last resort) tool in the union’s toolbox. This makes tenant unions antithetical to consumerism, a quality not shared by labor unions.

    To really thrive, tenant unions would also require people to actively know and interact a lot more with their neighbors, again fighting the trend of increasing social isolation and complacency caused largely by corporate (read: for-profit) social media.

    Personally, I want to see a sharp increase in co-living (a.k.a communal living). That would greatly lower the buy-in threshold for tenant unions to really take off, not to mention all the other mental, social, financial, and environmental benefits.








  • KDE Neon on desktop. I want to be on the latest Wayland I can for feature support (and Waydroid), without being on the bleeding edge for stability, and it checks all those boxes. Based on Ubuntu LTS, with latest Wayland and KDE software.

    For my home servers I like to try out different distros. I have a thin client on openSUSE Tumbleweed running Portainer, a couple Armbian SBCs for reverse proxies, my main Unraid storage server, and a thin client running NixOS at my parents’ house for backup storage and remote troubleshooting access.
