  • As the other reply said its a feature not a bug. Take hungary where i spent the majority of my life and studies and they teach you extreme amounts but when it comes to critical thinking, maybe the top 10 schools are competent. Its designed this way. The bar to become a teacher has been lowered and the pay is shit so a lot of teachers do managment jobs instead(literally tesco and stuff like that) and the ones left cant teach properly. If the generation grows up there wont be any intelectuals to oppose the growing faschism and then you can fill in the rest…



  • Tbh the best case would an open source fitness tracking watch. After some research the two hardest things are pulseox(even garmin watches are kinda inaccurate on ox) and battery life. I think its possible but most open source watches aim at the budget sector while a real fitness tracker sadly needs to be pretty expensive. It would be pretty cool if you had a bunch of sensors and you could just do anything with them(make custom workouts, sleep tracking, etc). If you think about it a smartwatch om hardware level is basically a nunch of sensors and the software just takes data, processes it and then spits out new data thats easier to understand.











  • Its especially annoying for me because i wanna go back to something that “just works” but i miss the nix features. I like declaring my system but managing packages declaratively is just such a pain. I just wanna do apt-get install package its just easier i dont want to rebuild my whole ass system. Something i found that may work is using nix for the system and then distrobox for packages. Yall think thats something that would work well?

    Oooooh i relate so bad. Im not neurodivergent in any way but i am really sensory. It is a strange thing. My hearing and vision are extreme and my taste and touch are pretty good. My nose on the other hand is horrible, im always the last to notice smells. Its kinda sad that nobody talks about these seperate from autism. When my mom(a doctor) started researching about why i seemed to be scared of loud noises and why i always cried in the car when someone played loud music she only found german literature which was a big limitation because she only spoke fluent english and hungarian but youd guess the english would be usefull here but turns out most countries discouraged research into it(btw i still dont know the english name of it, in hungarian its túlhallás literally meaning over-hearing). In the end she found an expert in the capital who did research and helped other people with this condition in his FREETIME because everybody ignores it. Turns out my hearing is on par with a dogs in some frequencies and in every frequency he measured it was in like top 1% at least. On some frequencies my hearing capped out the specialised machine 💀. I dont know the measurments but my hearing is someting like 50x better than what most hearing testers measure and more than 100x better than whats still considered healthy. He said i was the most extreme case he ever saw but its still sad that 20-30x hearing is still kinda common especially among kids and people just say man-up to them when they experience extreme pain. In reality my hearing is worse than most people because ususally you dont have conversations in noise sealed rooms but in busy placed where the sounds of cars, other people, etc literally blow out anything that i actually want to hear. Noise-cancelling headphones are a blessing, i use mine on the lowest volume and even set the volume to low on spotify and thats comfortable. Most people cant even make out that im listening to music when they try my headphones.

    TLDR: i have a hearing condition that makes me hear extremely well and almost all medical literature ignores the existence of it and loud noises cause me physical pain thats worse than getting kicked in the balls
