Kaunas or Vilnius (I hope it’s not Vilnius) if I’d like to continue my career in IT, so 100k € for that.

That's cheap as fuck. Is it even realistic, and then you're going to go back to work?

I’d really have some mad and stupid ideas appearing in my head, 10k € for that

How are you going to implement any mad ideas when you essentially have to return to your full time job to survive, once giving 5+ years of salary to Ukraine? Absolutely terrible plan here.

A better plan (in my opinon only) would be to buy the properlty you want, or put the whole 1m in a pension index fund, then immediately retire, taking a 50k per year salary for life (well based on historical average stock market return). Then living in people's air bnb's across Europe and Japan contributing to FOSS projects. 50k per year will pay for education, allow you to pay into charities and make FOSS donations depending on how you live.

There's an alternative to YouTube? There's a defederated Facebook?

When I got into Linux I read every physical book I could. Physical books on a subject tend to be written to have chapters that cover whole material. When you try and learn from multipe ebooks you randomly found online you end up cherry picking bits and pieces and never actually read every chapter, so you miss fundamentals.

Maybe you would benefit by reading a PAPER copy of a book about Linux and the especially command line. Linux is a very command line oriented system so maybe trying to tackle some of the struggles head on will help you unlock apt any other tools.

Man 100%. If anyone wants to be a computer expert and is struggling, just stick with it and keep learning. You have to learn through experimentation and effort!

It's just an attitude thing that some people's egos are hurt when Linux confuses them.

Andrew Bailey, governer of the bank of England, actually has this super power and why inflation is running away in the UK. Turns out spawning lots of money has ramifications elsewhere. Can I argue the Bitcoin creator had this super power too? No, fair enough

The very fact you raise the possibility of perverse or exploitative markets means there’s cause for mistrust in any donor arrangement. We live in a capitalist world and here you are devaluing my body for who, some CEO? Lisa Marie Presley inherits a catalogue of copyrighted content and revenue streams but my family can’t get a penny for saving someone’s life?

Organ donation is a wonderful thing and I understand why our systems are “opt-in” by default but why can’t I opt out, if I don’t trust society?

Only socialism and communism try to ensure everyone survives. This isn’t really an attack on capitalism. This is also the reason we have nationalism, racism etc, no?

In any case, technology and efficiency mean we could support more people being alive and with better lives if we really did want to. Plus there’s the potential of mining and colonisation of space. We’ve barely scratched the surface. Vertical farms might be the future.

I find it hard to believe you would genuinely be that composed and detached, if someone ran over your 3yo child and then used their head as a hood ornament for the lols.

However, I guess I have to take you at your word.
