Didnt know that. Maybe thats the secret to long life… :)

Maybe they import unhealthy food into your country because its popular there. Usually the food chains knows whats selling and are keeping those products.

Yeah thats true also. Also they have higher average iq than the rest of the world.

Must be the healthy food. They work all the time and drink alcohol aswell.

I saw some documentary about students and they have actual healthy food every day. Its not like in America.

I will stop using it of course. There is a price to pay for not being affected by this. Its not going to be free.

Ah you meant like that…

Yeah, the power these companies have over our lives is very disturbing. They have positioned themselves as something most academic people really need, at least linkedin has.

Then I will just update my profile to a link my own cv page.

Absolutely never using any service that requires this. I dont even have any account on those platforms and I never will.

I quit at 50, living on savings and stock market…

I dont know, its just something awful about working every day. I got sick of it.

Now im not doing anything special but im free to just live.

You would need more, because also paying for fuel or public transport, expensive lunch, maybe coffee…in my case I spent hundreds of dollars every month just from office related costs.

Its scary how bad it is for us to go to an office. Sure, if you single and you need coworkers to not feel lonely, it may be worth it. But im super happy not going.

If you do the math, its just horrible. If you have one hour to work, its 2 hours every day just getting to and back from work, which is 10 hours per week.

So you are spending more than an entire work day every week in traffic! Every year, you are spending 41 full working days in traffic!!

Isnt that just insane? If you are working from home, you have 10 hours of free time every week. The value of that is insane. You could go to gym, spend time with family, learn how to cook, whatever. Its a lot of time.

On a related note, you should get off big tech social media because that will suck up so much time you could use to improve yourself instead.

Yeah I agree. We have to wake up a bit. Real change happens outside of this place.

We arent smarter. Actually most people here have no voice or influence outside of their computer screen.

We can use some tech, sure. But I very much challenge the idea that we are smarter as a group than other university students.

But since a lot of us have poor social skills, we compensate by thinking we are smarter or better, when we should instead train our social skills and stop thinking like that.

Edit: You meant they dont work to access things outside of China of course.

You cant ban vpns, its easy for tech people to set up a vpn server on any server on the internet and connect to it. Wireguard for example, super simple.

Yeah there are some differences. Flatpaks are not updated when you update your system but you can run the “flatpak update” command to update all your Flatpak apps at once.

After install, it should just work. :)

That can happen if you have an old version. Happened to me a few times also. It just means YouTube changed something so you need to update and see if its been fixed.

Go to freetubeapp.io and make sure you have installed the latest version which is 0.23.5 beta right now.

Yeah that would be the logical end game since companies have invested billions into this trend now.

They always care about us when they are losing money arent they…

Maybe, but then who will supply the answers that Ai needs?
