Someone at Microsoft forked Openclaw? Is that the news?

I don't agree with the thesis of this post. It is begging the question of if we have to do what computers want.

Millions of people create accounts, confirm emails, ... not because they particularly want to or even need to.

These were design choices made by humans, not computers.

Smells like a DDoS.

It's difficult to know if this is a coordinated attack or a side effect of the ongoing protest.

Good eye. Thank you for pointing that out!

I didn't win the IPO lottery, but I won the life lottery and am fortunate to be living off my spouse's salary for the immediate future. I quit my full-time position a few months back. Since then, I've been exploring different "work" replacements. I tried freelancing and noodled on starting my own business. Finally, I've decided to apply for a Ph.D. program.

But, the most important thing I've learned these past few months is that work isn't life. Instead, I'm beginning to view "work" as a hobby that I enjoy. Not the thing that is going to provide absolute meaning to my existence. I feel better and have a much easier time de-stressing.

I just hope I can maintain this perspective if I am accepted and commit to graduate school.
