My computing experience at work has gotten worse over the years (with the exception of OneDrive and Excel tables), but I get to go home and work with PCs that run free software that performs so much more slickly and unobtrusively. Thank you FOSS devs!

I would be bothered by having low clearance above the sink to do dishes, even if it was practically enough room.

Thank you for your reply!

It’s not your fault the video you linked uses that sensationalist title (unless you are Mr./Ms. Fireship themselves) but yeah, it’s click baity. Soft bricking is something just breaking. The term brick was meant as a harsher version of that. This title aims to grab you with a concept that is far worse than software errors when it was software errors.

I have spent my time wisely typing this internet comment.

Today’s silver lining is that this isn’t a photo post.

Wait I’m intrigued that there’s a happy ending in the long run? I’m super ignorant in this area but like…have other countries we view as relatively socialist (Euro stuff?) gone through a similar process that the US is going through? Definitely looking for some optimism these days.

I read through that literacy link a bit. Very interesting. I was assuming at least a majority of the adult illiteracy was from people born outside the country, but that’s only 34% of them! Do you know how California has the lowest rate by state? Are those 34% concentrated there, or is public school particularly bad there? I’m not American.

I think about this from time to time. I think at some point, even if you’re born into it, you run up against some kind of hedonism wall where your human condition doesn’t know what to do with all your choices and lack of a need to do anything to survive. I’m interested in literature that tries to tackle this.

This sounds healthy! If you’re willing to share, I’m curious as to the kids’ (approximate) ages.

Good point, I want this.

Haha that’s a great site. But I think the C example is actually reasonable behaviour.

I’m being partially sincere here, but can you elaborate on how one of those would help in this situation?
