Same. I gave up the first time due to tedious details and weird control. I played it again with some control tweak (can’t remember what I changed) and tried to embrace the slow details, and completely loved the story.

Yes, you can filter by almost any country in the world.

When you learn to do something, you love it more.

Nowadays, we’re mostly given something and we don’t value it.

Not OC, but I’m using Kagi and super happy. Before I use Kagi, I didn’t realise how bad Google result is. Its results are poisoned by ads and SEO nowadays.

“Comparison is the thief of joy.”

How do you do that?

The problem with YouTube is that is so easy to just default to letting it feed your brain.

True, a typical example is YouTube Shorts. I hate that 15-second trend.

Mostly YouTube, Hacker News, and some mailing lists. I do join some random forums to discuss non-tech hobbies like English writings, games, or classical music.

Privacy aside, my Instagram feeds now are mostly filled with posts from random people. I do want to follow my friends’ updates but the recommendation algorithm keeps churning out rubbish. If only I could bring them out of Instagram and Facebook…

Kinda hate that I waste so much time on it.

You watched some learning materials—programming problems, historical events, etc. That’s educative. At least you learned something.

Also, time you enjoy is not wasted.

A bit techy: Programmers are also human. The guy is a gem. I laughed so hard, God knows how many time.

I’m talking about quantum. I switched to Firefox since quantum came out.

I’m curious: can we match the level of Waterfox with Firefox’s add-ons: uBlock, privacy badger, etc.

I just don’t want to support the monopoly.

Also Firefox has been so tempting since the new engine written in Rust came out. It has a wide range of supporting add-ons.

My goto is:

convert -resize 50% in.png out.png

It reduces half the width and height, so usually ~4x in size.

AWS (Route53 specifically). Not common but my personal lab runs on AWS so it’s nice to have a place for everything.

That’s why I always bring a laptop with me even on a holiday. So I could hack or learn something if I got stuck at the airport. The last time I didn’t bring it was when my flight was delayed twice (total 12 hours) at the Frankfurt airport.

Beautifully explained. You remind me of the first lessons when I learned meditation.

Thanks for the tips. In Helsinki, my friend actually just buys the disc version of PS5 and rents the discs for free in the library. We have to finish a disc in 2 weeks though (unless we can extend it).
