Yes I did in the 70's.

It worked out well up until my 6th grade (8th grade if you count kindergarten) The higher education part (Montessori Lyceum) never worked out for me as lack of structure and wealth of time freedom killed my effort and work ethos.

The difference between how primary and higher education was structured on a Montessori based education is to far apart of each other.

Primary Montessori education was more about getting the kids curious about the world and make them ask questions and get knowledge that way into the kid. Higher Montessori education was more like standard pumping knowledge that you have to remember for terms and tests.

I was never prepared for that higher education part in my primary education period so I went from bad to worse in my higher education before giving up totally and went to work instead. Later I did catch up when I was grown up.

Still, I am thankful for getting Montessori education as it formed my worldview and kept me curious and inquisitive the rest of my life and even now.

I do wish that in the last 3 years of my primary schooling I had more support for conquering the higher education years.

Now that is nice, spoiling it for the readers by outing this scheme. This means that this hole will be patched, only because somebody wants a scoop.

We would have most of what is now, as most of what we have now as concepts was programmed long ago.

Things would have been leaner, to the point and with less force on the CPU.

There are some good things better possible due to more powerful CPU, for instance virtual machines, even though that concept is also a old one originating from IBM mainframes, as are relational databases and sql.

Also programming languages became better and have better and more complete stdlibs.

I guess most contemporary user software we have today are slow, ugly and even irrelevant variants of better older versions.

Developer software does somewhat better as it does not need pretty pictures.

Nah, the author is just really sad that poor Johanna will never have any real friends...

I have been on for quite some time and yes, the early days were more exciting but the reason things are more dull is not only a commercial one.

A lot of things on here are boring just because nowadays they just work well, not a lot of stuff to improve.

Also things got boring because the common folk got online, most people are boring, where in the old days one could have a conversation with interesting professors or other people good at their job, nowadays the internet is a glorified "come see me how wonderful I am and how pretty my life is" egoistic echo chamber of totally uninteresting people.

Interesting, apart from more efficient solar panels it could hand us a solution to better protect our skins with colored sunblock.

You can better ask the resemblance between them, the answer is that Python's toolchain is a mess. I like the language but hate the toolchain. I prefer working with Golang when it comes to this.

No, you read this article. Reading is a non destructive act.

Consuming is also not always destroying things, like in eating, it merely changes food into fertilizer and minerals when you poop.

I think naming things in an absolute way will not help us, just like forbidding things wont, we have to learn to change behavior instead of stopping behavior.

But still the problems are not solved, it is not only airbnb, like many places we are in the endgame of neoliberalism which is the wholesale of other peoples property to rich people by the corrupt political class.

The biggest problem of email is non verifiable routing due to header manipulation and lack of source authorization.

If these were in place then it would be able to send all spam back to sender, instead of putting it a spam folder due to filtering, your email client just would send it back to the origin address.

It also would help if each send would cost a token (of some monetary system) that would be returned on delivery at the legitimate destination. This would help against bulk sending.

Email is a system that will always cripple at some point if there aren't real world cost incentives in place.

People are the biggest problem with email, which is hard to solve with mere technical solutions.

Nice if it be done in the lab, and then? How do you take it out of the full environment without a successive contamination do to cleanup chemicals?

It is not what you know, but who you know.

Most of the really rich do not have that pitiful schedule, they let others have that schedule for them.

For happiness it's important to have a balance between on and off.

But some of us rather be rich than happy.

Depends on your usage, for stability use slow moving distro and LTS versions.

For cutting edge development use a rolling distro with an LTS kernel.

Further there isn't that much difference between distro families, devil is in the details and most modern distros let you choose them, do you want Pulseaudio and/or ALSA, systemd or rc or other alternatives, and so on.

I personally use Manjaro on most of my computers and raw Arch on specialist ones (mainly because there is a lot of Arch related knowledge and info online).

I don't want to hurt you but reading your story it strikes me that you haven't give coincidence a chance, not everything in life can be reached by hard working towards your goals. A lot of things in life are random shit. sometimes you need to give life a chance by doing nothing.

Success with your quest.

There is a sweet spot between the number of people and the number of people having a quality life. Too little then not enough progress and comfort. To many then not enough resources per person, too little space per person. Not all our problems are solvable with science (usage) and some of are problems are caused by science (usage).

For me a chiropractor is a last refuge when physiotherapy isn't working it's thing. I personally have a lower back problem due to a Hyperlordose (extreme hollow back), which I am able to control well with physio exercises most of the time (keeps me from using painkillers).

When bones are out of alignment, especially backbones, then often they pinch nerves that have important functions like digestion, liver, kidney lung etc.

This translates into bad body functioning that can cause even bad illnesses, think of organs that clean up, or change sugar levels, or bringing oxygen to the brains.If these don't work properly you get into trouble.

First thing you notice when things are not working well is compensation by muscles working hard to try and make things workable in the body, this translates to back pains, feeling stuck, or even paralyzed.

Most of the time it is preferred to do physio-therapeutic exercises to slowly get the bones and muscle tissue into a "normal state" and release the nerve pinch, but sometimes when the alignment is too far from acceptable, or when things are too stuck to have physio work, then you need a mechanic force to get these bones in the proper place again, this is what chiropractic care is.

Like when you had an accident or fall, in that case it is possible that your bones can get a too rigid mechanical shift that isn't solvable with mere exercises.

When using that try to seek the system that does as little as possible to get you back in shape again, like Gonstead, seek for dr. Rahim on Youtube, he explains things very well and takes time for seeking what is off balance (mostly the foundation, like Illiac and Saecrum, which is Latin for hips and tailbone).

Probably you are going to be mad at me, but I give it a try. My advice (genXer) to the genZer generation is, stop being so scared about what other people think of you, lay down you phone more often (leave it at home) and go do some relaxing stuff like going to concerts or festivals, spend more time outside (unless you are 365 days a year in a cold environment) and seek more people that leave their phone at home too...

Take more risks in finding out what your purpose is here on this planet, if playing safe and live a boring life is really your thing after finding out then you have all my respect, but at least explore...

Be careful with addictions of any kind as they slave you, especially smartphones, gambling, cigarettes and hard drugs, stay away from debts as well...

Try to stay free and try to define your own path as much as can...

Success, you can do it as most of us did it...

For most of my generation Punk does not mean how you look but is a mindset. The mindset is 2 fold, first of all it means "I can do anything unless it showed that I failed a particular thing, then it means I cannot do that one thing but still can do anything else", and also it means, "If needed I will do it myself". So for me he is still punk and I think he thinks that himself too.

It is Poetin and his ilk that chose to do a full scale destruction and they should face the consequences of this decision, the west cannot afford to do nothing this time because both international and domestic actors are trying to pull the rug underneath the liberal democratic system that brought a lot of people wealth and peace. We will see where this will lead up to.

Don't underestimate the quality of audio tracks in modern video containers.

A video container (file) is essentially a collection of video, audio and subtitle tracks and a register where to find what in the container, so that one can extract any of them.

You can download a youtube video with youtube-dl and one of the GUI projects that use it, once it's on your drive then you can use Audacity with the ffmpeg plugin to open that video and automatically get only the audio track(s) from it.

In Audacity you can label gaps and after that multi export each song as a batch from that track. In audacity one can resample, edit, export as many different audio containers (mp2, mp3, flac, ogg, etc...)

To make life difficult for 'Woke' companies where cartoon mouses rule, because they oppose his friends law against LHBTIQ+ people...

Covid is not the only cause of this, even before covid people were more and more behaving as stupid pricks to one another, and slowly the thin masks of civility are vanishing. Coming decade will be more rude, violent, repressing, arrogant and deadly than the ones we just went through. Why? economical divide, lack of solidarity, grand theft by elites, solutions by fascists and religious scum. This all causes stress far beyond what the pandemic has been dishing out, and thus lots of people, especially economical and social marginalized ones are losing it.

For me it is the other way around, I stuck with Gnome for a long time since 2003 up until 2020, my problem is that with every update I had to work harder and harder to make unwanted changes go away, especially when you have to cater more users than yourself on the machine. That said, the underlying libraries and systems are amazing in that everything goes smoothly, same can be said for Kde. Nowadays I use LXQt and I am so happy with that it adheres opendesktop standards and is flexible but not changing under my ass. I use Gnome and Kde under the hood and this combination keeps me happy.

This means you never have been threatened by your bank to block your account and assets. Good luck eating when that happens.

It's not a claim but a rhetorical question, hence the question mark...

PDF is not for making documents with, it's for making bundled printouts that almost universally are printed right on most printers.

Because they are lax on foreign copyrights and not domestic ones?

Nothing went wrong from the perspective of capitalism, this is merely the endgame, the inevitable outcome of this system.

There is no pride in having billionaires as each billion owned by a single entity deprives 100 of million others of their ability to sustain.

It is not as if suddenly a fairy magically let a billion whatever currency exists, maybe some 50 million come into existence, the other 950 million has to be taken from others.

All systems have their nasty outcomes when not held in check by competing systems. We all know the down sides of socialism, communism, fascism and so on, but capitalism has a major one too, it causes extreme poverty to many many people.

It all comes down to finding a balance between solidarity and commerce, individualism and collective, freedom and responsibility.
