I do admit that I run Win10 IOT in VirtualBox for a few small programs that won’t run under Wine.

I work in an ad agency and I have to use it, too, sometimes. Mainly for Adobe XD and Illustrator. I export their shitty proprietary formats to PDF and SVG, shut down the VM and continue working with native Linux tools.

This guy assassinates.

I like having to put “site:reddit.com” at the end of my search query before I can even begin to scratch the surface of the issue.

kagi.com solved this problem for me.

Ungrouped buttons with titles is very efficient for me, too. I grew up with Windows 95 (that was the default behaviour back then) and my brain can handle this really well. I despise grouped buttons I have to hover over to see the actual windows and the icons only mode makes the clickable area too small and annoying to navigate to.

But it is kinda funny a propaganda post gets titled “So easily fooled”. How ironic.

That sounds a bit like burnout, to be honest. I stopped reading for a few years, too, and didn’t even know why, I was just not “in the mood” or at least I thought so. I have picked it up again this year and ultimately realized that my job was stressing me out. I was constantly worried about problems at work, but for reading, you need a calm mind.

Quitting my job and going to another company this year was one of the best decisions ever. Since then I have found time for hobbies (and losing weight) again. I also read on a WiFi-less eBook reader and put my phone into another room, so I cannot get distracted.
