Location: Lyon, France Willing to Relocate: Yes, to Barcelona, Roma, Hamburg, Koln, Den Haag, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Stockholm or Switzerland. Full Remote: Yes. I offer a discount f…

look on the bright side, at least you still have internet! (and here would be a great time for Murphy's Law to kick in and your router to decide to stop working all of a sudden)

Frenchman here, I Google Translated that and it says "We at WC Duck recommend WC Duck"... I'm left scratching my head, if you'd care to spell out what the saying means for non-Dutc…

I generally agree with you (I'm typing this on a laptop running Void Linux), but I do still keep a Windows laptop for gaming and music production - I've tried running Bitwig Studio…

A habit that I've taken up which makes me quite happy and I think solidly helps my focus is working offline. Some days, I'll set a timer for two hours, and then just work offline f…

human beings are not always perfect communicators, regrettably. Luckily, other humans can 'clear things up' :)

Why do you refer to "good propaganda"? The piece compares the USA and 100 years ago. He notices that we are still in a time of large social change, often in some of the same areas,…

Personally, I really liked both your writing and the fact that you took the time to flesh out the main point. Thanks for taking the time to write this up and share it ^_^

Solidly prophetic? Er, it kind of predicts the internet, but everything else? Quebec separatism? Corporate sponsored calendar? All of North America under the same flag? Dumping tox…

I recommend you read the book "Pimp" by Iceberg Slim, about a Black America in the early/mid 20th century. Personally speaking, I found the book very 'awe-inspiring'/it made me go …

thanks for your reply ^^ It'll probably take me a while to grok it all, but I appreciate you taking the time to educate me, thank you ^^
