When I apply for a job it takes me at least an hour if not more. I adopt my resumé, write the motivation letter. If I spend less then 15 minutes it means I'm doing it as a requirement from the social benefits agency, for a job that I don't want.

Why would they?

Just out of curiosity… what was his salary and how long did it take to fire him? Did they fire the HR manager as well?

So what if the disk crashes? Do you keep backups? In the cloud?

But there is always time for a glass of good wine!

But iTunes wás the user experience with playlists and a proper desktop interface. Drag and drop to iTunes was much more convenient for 99% of the users, except you maybe.

From an EU perpective…

What if they don't have papers? What if their country hasn't registered them? What if they lie about their name and birthdate, so their home country cannot identify them? What if the home country doesn't want them back? People don't go to UAE because life will be worse there.

Your encouragement argument has no base in reality. You live your well informed western perspective. These people have no idea where they are going, what life will be like here in the EU (terrible for many). They take the risk because they have nothing to lose: famine, natural disasters, never ending wars, dictators. They don't do this because they are encouraged somehow, except that they can't stay at home anymore. That is the "encouragement" indeed.

The journey is not "hard". It's insufferably hard. Everything you have will be stolen. You may be kidnapped to do slave labour. You may get raped, killed, or see your mates get killed in front of you. And that is before you step in a small boat with tens of people to cross a sea with no navigation, not enough food or water.

When you enter Italy and see your refugee status rejected, you enter the human void of being "illegal", undocumented. You live by the day, no future lies ahead of you.

If you get accepted, you may have lost seven years living in some kind of open prison, no language lessons, nothing to do all day.

Talk about "encouragement", but this doesn't stop people either. So why would this encouragement argument only work one way? Because the discouragement measures do not work at all.

What if you get the same IP time and again?

But what about Office, Adobe , Affinity?

I suppose snapshots, so you can retirn to a previous state in case of trouble

CP/M with Wordstar plus dbase all on one 180kB floppy

I have a Seiko watch with capacitor charged by movement that worked for 18 years and it was't finished completely but it depleted in one or two days. It's a pity they stopped with this technique.

But we are losing more these days than 2000 years ago. And we save lots more as well. Think of how many billions people can write or paint now and can make photos. How many could write or paint then?

This is where digital money comes in. You can buy an anonymous card with digital money on it and you can buy it with cash money. Then you have your debit card.

I hate the tab reload in Chrome after switching tabs, which often changes form input.

Buy the epub and remove the drm.

Reinstall every other week. Haven't done that since Windows 98.

Isn't UML about conceptual thinking first, before you loose yourself in editing?

Yeah I want the monitor, not the screen. Apple, Polar, Garmin, I don't care.

Which doesn't apply here. The rogue bee does not adapt the world to himself, just goes out exploring without a plan.

You have no heart, sir!

Maybe next century, but not anywhere soon.

I'm with you. For me it's also about motivation, and getting past that point where you can do basic things, and then learn by doing. I'm on a Mac, but I do have a big monitor with a wide keyboard, so I could give that a try.

Udemy has some good courses for which you never should pay more than $20 and they always have offers. It's not about time, but it's about getting yourself motivated to do that course day after day.

But if ou bought a Linux laptop, it should come preconfigured with the optimal settings, with at least one or two distros like Ubuntu and Fedora, plus the settings described in a manual.

If concrete mixed with plastics is a good idea, then it should be done in a controlled environment (factory), not taken from the sea. I don't see what this has to do with earthquake resistant building. If you want some "flex" in building materials, we already have steel. If plastic can replace steel, or can replace it partly, that would be great. Mixing plastic with concrete is environmentally a bad idea in the long run. How are you going to undo that mix later?

Aggregating in one big chunk can be good news, if it is treated as a garbage collector and if the garbage is removed. If the plastic isn't removed, then it will be an eternal source of microplastics. I can't see how that is a good thing, unless some fish, bacteria or plant knows how to eat that plastic and make it into something harmless. I doubt that this will act like a plastic-magnet for the microplastics in the area.

Can't you login in a browser? Option two: move to the EU. The option to delete your account is required by law. And if that is not possible, try vpn? No idea if that works.

Maybe you're an atypical INTP?
