What frustrates me most is that jetbrains had a winning formula
They made, imo, the best ide's, striking the balance between intuitive and useful without drifting too far into bloat
I just don't vibe with jetbrains wanting access to my code and data and how i use the ide itself - imagine if your hammer took a picture every time it was swung while tracking the swing trajectory and force and sent it to a thousand unknown people
its just fucking weird and its fucking weird that jetbrains presses this onto us - even as an opt-in its wierd
Even at it most innocent, and not the reality of trying to build the tool that ousts us out of our trade and craft, i still dont want some code cuck sitting in the corner of my periphery hyperventilating on every keystroke and variable name i make
My guy, i say this with love, you've got to laugh this stuff off
You were chilling with your kid - thats the goal! Thats the dream! You're living it!
Dont snatch defeat from the jaws of victory!
Play that girlie pop music louder, bounce up and down and dance with your daughter and make the exaggerated moves to hear her laugh as many times as you can in your finite life.
Nothing else matter's as much as that, dont get lost from that truth.
No, but it is racist to assume that a person is an illegal immigrant based solely on their race.
Likewise, i think there is a deeper connection being made, that theres an assumption that an illegal immigrant is a bad person, and i also do not think that is a valid assumption.
To know if a person is a bad person, you have to know the person.
Plus G gives you some of the best of USAmerican food like all the bbqs, cheesesteaks, American chinese, and all the random fusions that occur in the la, atlanta, and dc metros!
I too am attempting to figure out how to best navigate this new world, my hope is that there is a path that i can walk which still preserves most of the quality of life ive enjoyed so far in our old flawed system, and which counters the strength of this new techno fuedal world thats being built - or at least does not continue to empower it, and also, one which does empower a more solarpunk future and life which i do want to live.
How im finding that path currently is first, understanding what reality is now and what i actually want - but be careful here to not completely devote all your time and energy to just understanding, least those insights never turn to action
Then, im taking little steps, the smallest steps that i can, within this system, but towards my solarpunk ideals, and against the technofuedalist ideals
For me, that means growing a small garden, self hosting some services, going to at least one local politics meeting a month - it also means canceling some subscriptions, not eating some foods, and not consuming ads and using various tools to reduce my information footprint
They're small steps, but i can tell that theyre building a foundation and momentum, that backlog of experience and resilience which can be drawn on, so that bigger steps, such as quiting my corporate job, moving to a larger property with land to homestead on, and more deeply integrating with the community is a smaller and smaller gap until im able to get to the point where in able to make that leap
You're path may look different, but hopefully its a good reference for you
