drukenemo··on What will be left for us to work on?
We need to be responsible for the things we write. You write with a certainty of a gloomy scenario, even though you can’t predict the future. Saying hopeless things like that is not only bad for your psyche, but can also inflict mental damage onto others.
drukenemo··on The seed oil panic is hurting my cardiac patients
The advice that surfaces here when a healthy-eating article is posted always leave me surprised. “Don’t eat added sugars, or only very rarely”. Have you looked around and seen the infinite amount of delicious food available literally everywhere? Sure, make an effort to reduce those, but to me cutting out those is akin to recommending someone to be celibate or not to ever commit a sin. Those ultra virtuous (and maybe boring) people who can live 100% on a perfect diet of fish and vegetables are like catholic priests advising everyone to join them in their renouncing of the wonders of life. Sugar (in all its forms) in moderation is probably a net positive in life quality than living an ideal life and rejecting a cake at your nephew’s birthday party because “you don’t eat poison”. Relax a bit people, eat nutritious meals most of the time, watch your caloric intake and enjoy your life.

drukenemo··on uBlock Origin Lite now available for Safari
Origin feels much faster to me than Wipr
drukenemo··on uBlock Origin Lite now available for Safari
I’ve been testing it in beta for a month or so and I can report that at least to me websites load much faster than with Adguard or Wipr.
drukenemo··on Let Kids Be Loud
That’s a reasonable argument. But in this day and age there are no shades of grey.
drukenemo··on Let Kids Be Loud
That’s my experience too. I wonder why. Too much freedom given to the kids here?
drukenemo··on Let Kids Be Loud
Are you serious about this advice? Parents cannot be politely approached by a neighbor, because their kids, who they chose to have, are disturbing others regularly?
drukenemo··on Let Kids Be Loud
Your tolerance to noise levels says nothing about other people’s tolerance for it. Do not use your baseline to determine what is normal and what is not when it comes to sensorial experiences.
drukenemo··on RSS Server Side Reader
It sounds interesting. Is it available for download?
drukenemo··on I was a British tourist trying to leave America. Then I was detained, shackled
Me neither, but the media is in a frenzy to scrutinize Trump. He certainly gives them lots of reason to do so, but I doubt those type of actions as response to visa violations didn’t occur before.
drukenemo··on Stoop Coffee: A simple idea transformed my neighborhood
Very similar story to mine. Moving from Amsterdam to the “suburbs” of a smaller city in the Netherlands AND getting a dog was the only way I’ve found to meet new people and befriend neighbors.
drukenemo··on Google to buy Wiz for $32B
RIP Wiz. Everything that Google puts their hands on, dies within years.

I use Stopthemadness to stop video autoplay
drukenemo··on Little Snitch: Network Monitor and Application Firewall for macOS
“Junk phones”, lol. Gratuitous hate without any substance.

So you prefer to sit on 50 liter of a highly flammable liquid instead.
drukenemo··on US lawmakers tell Apple, Google to be ready to remove TikTok from stores Jan. 19
“Free market”. Such a thing doesn’t really exist.

drukenemo··on Dell responds to return-to-office resistance with VPN, badge tracking
What do you mean making a promotion packet? Story, English is not my first language.
drukenemo··on Smoking cannabis is now legal in Germany
Of course, it can affect people’s mental health if they consume too much of it. Lack of education and some people’s self-control were never a reason to make alcohol illegal.
