Remind me of some quotes:

And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.

No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man.

Recently, I came back home after 2.5 years of studying and working abroad. Home (family, friends, scene, etc.) didn’t change much, but I definitely felt something off that it was hard to describe. I grew out of it, I suppose.

Reddit is already blocking some Proton VPN IPs…

Also excited for this. I tried KDE before but I didn’t find it easy to configure (too manually for a declarative guy like me). I like more the simplicity of Gnome.

Second. Up-to-date packages and stable at the same time.

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.

Emacs will be there for you, once vscode Windows gets abandoned.

FTFY.

Just the matter of taste. For some users who want to get to code quickly, they use VSCode without the hassle. For some power users who want to have extreme extensibility, they use Emacs/Vim.

I hate Google but they gave us Go, Kubernetes. I hate Amazon but they gave us AWS. I plainly hate those companies, but adore the brilliant engineers that work there.

And most importantly, SMS is not secure [1].
