  1. And then you have published research with marginal significance for findings to show to sponsors you are still worth of funding. Got disilusioned about my institution recently, exactly because I also do thinking for myself, not just learning. The research they have been publishing recently isn't really worth of paper it would be printed on.

  2. In addition, the same is for Microsoft OS. They keep making changes, adding features, removing features, turning back on settings we turned off, installing back bloatware we uninstalled previously, and they are making it more and more difficult to customise features, even any .exe file not from their store being flagged as malware and refusing to install it, even if it is a legitimate software. Win11 will disable customising the start menu, for example. Even if you pay for the licence in every your computer you buy with this OS, you still just rent their licence and they can do whatever they please. Even if you pay for your content, you are still the product. This is the times we have come to. Me personally going Linux, for these reasons. No OS is perfect, but at least I have a better control over my computer I paid for, and I can use it for many more years after Microsoft has made it redundant as not compatible with their new shenanigans. I claimed my old ex-vista laptop back this way, too! As long as my machines work fine I have no reason to replace them, just because the monopolistic bully wants me to.

  3. I think my brain isn't doomed yet, paying attention by ear while doing embroidery, noticing you had an argument loop there around 8:30. Cheers 🫡

  4. When public service, such as educaion should be, become a business for profit, something will start going wrong. The same for prisons. Generating unnecessary criminals just to feed into someone's profit, is criminal by itself.

  5. I don't know where I stand on this issue, just about to change a job. From quite a repetitive one, the same routine every effing day, for not that bad money, I am going to get paid less, do more hours per day, but less days per week, and I find it more satisfying as it is physically more demanding, which I don't mind at all. I am an intellectual but also a DIY, with hands on. Leaving my repetitive but not so unimportant job of 10 years for something completely new, equally important, if not more. On days when I don't work, I rather hibernate until about lunch time, have breakfast in bed, gorging on online content to balance the mental boredom at work, procrastinating a lot lately... hope things will change with a different challenge that is ahead of me. Looking fwd to it. Different projects at different places to complete over time, leading people doing stuff, utilising my practical skills along perhaps learning new ones, and hopefully contributing to their better future as well.

  6. I don't. Never had Kindle. Never had Prime. Always buying either with a free delivery or shopping elsewhere. More shopping elsewhere recently as prices and product quality are not attractive on scamazon anymore. Even reviews cnnot often be trusted there. Figure out! And those AI generated foraging books that could kiII you... nope.

  7. Scamazon itself violates their T&Cs by allowing fake reviews, bogus sellers changing the goods in their listings to ramp up reviews, refusing to remove dangerous items from sale because they are supposedly selling well and bring more money to scamazon..., allowing fake items to be sold even after people pointed it out to Scamazon and it had reviewed the content by a human, as they claim... don't do shopping on Scamazon, overall, not just via Kindle. Simple. ADDING: just remembered a video illustrating the barrage of worthless books sold on Scamazon, written by AI, printed on demand (lower cost for the 'business'), some literally putting people's lives at risk by advising them to go foraging for mushrooms or wild plants that are poisonous.

  8.  @loganmedia4401  Define rarely. I have a couple machines fully functional which won't be able to run Win11. Even Win10 is slow on one of them and impossible to run on the older one. Kne came with Win7 and the older was Vista. Without Linux both of them would be just unsafe to use online or become bricks. Even a high number of PC that can run some version of Win11 now might not be able to do so in the future. Millions tons of useless or unsafe computers turned into e-waste.
