Buying something that will last 10 years instead of buying a home that will last generations. Even more, most likely this people already had a home. Is like buying a electric car while you have a luxury ICE that works, is a waste of resources. I dont really mind, but dont say you care about the enviroment.
The boat is ~40 years old (per their website). Our sailboat is a Yamaha33, a 1982 masthead sloop fiberglass sailboat. - https://100r.co/site/pino.html

#372I want to get on board with these groups, would really want to be in one. Can't all society be cool and live like this? But. I keep coming back around to, where are they getting all this stuff. Everything that keeps them going has to be made somewhere, by working stiffs with day jobs. There is no escaping Moloch. These groups are the odd random cast off, and I really want to be them, but everyone can't be them, or th…

You pointing out a minor mistake that has zero implications doesn’t provide any value. It may feel good to you pointing out mistakes others made, but especially in this case it doesn’t matter. It’s not important. And you seem to read way too much into this mistake, promptly distrusting all the content they ever made or wrote. Next time you make a mistake, I hope people around you will treat you the same way you treat…

Making such a mistake calls into question if they don't have other, more serious, mistakes in their actual articles. > Next time you make a mistake, I hope people around you will treat you the same way you treat other people, let’s find out if you like that.

This shows such black-and-white thinking, thinking in absolutes that doesn't take in account, the context and circumstances.
To me it shows a rigid mind that can't perceive nuance, and think / reason about topics in a particular context.
Minor mistakes are often just that: minor mistakes. If this was an error in a scientific paper or news article, your stance may have had more merit. But that's not the context here at all.
> I don't make extraordinary claims so I am not bound to provide any extraordinary evidence. They do make an extraordinary claim.
A blog claiming not to track you isn't an 'extraordinary claim' by any definition. So that's a mistake on your part, so I can't take anything you say seriously anymore, by your own definition.

fwiw they actually live on a sailboat and have sporadic internet access and limited electricity, so saying it's retroactive justification isn't really true and minimizes the real problems they face.
The problem is that none of their problems are real problems and there's nothing to minimize when they're not real. You cannot minimize made up first world problems

#375I'm always a bit conflicted when I see these kinds of stories, due to the message they send. I remember vising the Seychelles a few years ago, and finding it an earthly paradise, the kind that everyone should experience at least once. Yet it's a tiny nation state that can only properly handle a limited amount of tourists. In essence, I've started believing that all these "digital nomads" that work remotely in one of…
Uh, 100R live on a boat ? Like, sure, we can call them digital nomads but they are very much different from the “startup that has no office we have a travel stipend and work from anywhere” crowd. (I’ve been that person before. That’s easy mode compared to how 100R live.)
The motivations beat those of the average digital nomad by a mile, and I applaud them, but this is still squarely into "rich people" stuff.

I feel that engaging here is probably a mistake, but screw it. > I don't make extraordinary claims That seems like a pretty extraordinary claim to me. That you've made. Twice.

GIFs are warts. There's no way to stop them, so they endlessly demand your attention.
I've often wondered why Discord is the only major platform client that provides an option to play gifs only on mouseover. It's incredibly effective at solving for the problem you describe.
Half the """GIFs""" you see online are webm. Just put a webm. They work great.

"We choose to make this video game and do the boat life thing, not because they are easy, but because they are hard. Because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win!"
Living in a boat is not hard.
