It's death 1 month ago

It's a funny story if you look at the end of life from a materialistic viewpoint on the origin of consciousness, but that’s not the only perspective.

I believe electricity is the closest thing to magic among the natural forces that we have managed to tame more or less. The entire history of humanity is a story of how we learned more cleverly to exploit the fact that the electron is a negatively charged particle, even the human being itself, and life itself, is a proton gradient across the mitochondrial membrane, where the flow of protons drives the rotation of ATP synthase and produces the energy of life

I used to think teeth were the worst-designed part of the body, until I learned that DNA polymerase can make an error during replication and it goes unnoticed, and then a few months later hundreds of thousands of malignant lymphocytes appear throughout the entire body of somebody you love most, and due to their exponential growth they invade every tissue. Now I look at teeth in a completely different way

It’s interesting, of course, but for example the Ukrainian budget depends on donations for about 60%, yet this dump doesn’t seem to rush to publish articles with equally loud headlines about Ukraine. Or about the US with its trillions in debt, or the UK, France, and most EU countries with huge debts exceeding their annual GDP.

Well, what did you expect? if competition is banned, they can churn out whatever, charge whatever they want, and it'll still get bought with tax money.

Mozilla is fine taking money from Google, because it keeps "competition" alive otherwise Google would face antitrust lawsuits for running a monopoly.

I tried recently once again to ditch Windows for Linux. Everything kinda worked, but the MediaTek Wi-Fi drivers were janky and my speed was like 10x slower than it should’ve been. After spending about 10 hours messing around with configs, I realized I was doing literally everything except what I actually wanted to do when I turned on the PC… so I just went back and installed LTSC Windows again.
