“As soon as the incident was detected, our teams blocked access to the affected system and tightened our security measures.”

whew thank god, nothing to see here /s

Which is cheaper:

• lift 50 tons of metal off the ground burning 20,000 liters of fuel
• make 50 tons of metal run over the ground using electricity

How is this obvious?

I don’t get Tusk why the first bill sent to the new president had to be “trapped”. He knew Nawrocki doesn’t like the wind turbines but he knew that his campaign promise was to lower electricity prices. So Tusk decided to put sweet and sour candy in the same package.

It’s like he wanted the first message from the govt to be “f- you, I know right now we’re not gonna have a good time anyway”. In a few months they’ll start saying something that the govt and president can’t cooperate. That would probably happen regardless, but it’d be funny - “we treated him with hostility and now the relations are bad”

Industry vulnerable to lack of investor money does badly when there is no investor money

If you end up going with Intel anyway, avoid I219-LM (e.g. IBM I340-T2), it has issues where you need to run some commands on startup to disable some of the NIC’s features so that it doesn’t lose connection for a few m every few days. It’s pretty old so you probably won’t end up using it, but just putting it out here.

we should improve society somewhat

It’s likely a Dell 2725QE, I have the exact same one because it’s (or “was” if something new came out) the only choice with the new generation of the IPS Black panel (that has 120FPS) and a USB hub. Samsung (that owns the technology) hasn’t released anything yet when I was buying mine.

In any way that creates social capital/community in real life. I don’t mean counter-patrols. It’s just that a patrol happens to be social capital (of the bad kind)

If the the Dutch are so climate couscous maybe they should invent energy-free travel

I struggle with this as well.

I wonder if maintaining a social life could be more difficult today, because the “social infrastructure” isn’t what it used to be. Your society’s habits don’t carry you as much as your parents’, so you have to do more work yourself.

And then you may even not know how to do the work - as other commenter here said: being social is a skill that is learned. I haven’t figured it out the puzzle myself. I’m a few years after college where many people just moved away and I’m in the same spiral that other people in my situation describe.

My coping approach has been more like “leave the house” rather than “meet new people” which sorta works for me, for now. Being around people is also humanizing. At the risk of describing something banal, I’ll describe my learnings below.

One of the first struggles I’ve come across is that staying up to date with what’s happening in the city is work. As I described in the beginning, the reason that building social capital for yourself is so hard is that the social infrastructure isn’t there. One of the best ways to learn what’s going on in the city is to have something mentioned to you in a conversation, or to be invited by someone who’s already going. You passively learn or participate by leaning back on the other person. It’s expensive to be poor.

The way reduce the amount of work is to find cyclical events. That way, you learn about the date just once then keep coming. I’ve found that the best way to learn about them is to subscribe to e-mail newsletters of cultural institutions (museums, galleries, operas, theaters, cultural centers). Some will never send you an e-mail, but some are pretty active. Sometimes the e-mails contain info that isn’t available anywhere else - my local museum holds free visits with a tour guide every Sunday at 9AM, but that isn’t mentioned anywhere. The benefit with e-mail is that you’re passively being poked by the institution about an event. What doesn’t work in such a way is e.g. Instagram, where you have to open the app and doomscroll through unrelated things in the eventual hope of finding some event.

Instead of e-mail you can also sometimes use RSS but completing the list of institutions, finding the feeds and then remembering to read through them is very work-like, as opposed to e-mail.

This of course doesn’t solve the problem of loneliness, as you’ll be going somewhere, but still alone. In spoonfeeding-a-social-novice terms, random events are a bit further in the social pipeline, where you’re “not supposed to” go alone, but where you’re going because you’ve already met people people to go with in earlier in the social pipeline in hobby groups.

Maybe linkhut then? https://drewdevault.com/2025/03/27/2025-03-27-Using-linkhut.html

HMD feature phones are such a let down.

The Polish language translation within the system is clearly automated translation - the words used sometimes don’t make sense. CloudFone apps are also not available in Europe.

The HMD 110 4G (2024, not 2023) has the Unisoc T127 chipset which supports hotspot, but HMD deliberately chose not to include it. I know because the Itel Neo R60+ has hotspot with the same chipset.

At least they made Nokia XR21 in Europe for a while.

I always wondered why do people use Pocket. I just use bookmarks - for example: on the bookmarks toolbar in my browser, I have a folder named “movies to watch”. I just drag the tabs into that folder. Isn’t that similar to Pocket?

My brain being fried from the brainrot and not being able to comprehend “save to read later” probably also plays a part.

obligatory These workers in Switzerland commute to work by floating down a river

Hopefully this gives more leverage in keeping the river clean. “Well Mr. Company you can’t dump shit into the river, there are people swimming there”. As the article mentions in Denmark they hoisted red flags during incidents, but it puts at least some more public eyes on the issue.
