This is something I struggle with constantly. I feel like everybody around me does not care about their privacy. All of them say the typical “Why go through all the effort, sacrificing a lot of functionality and convenience for the sake of privacy? I have nothing to hide!”. It drives me crazy, and I feel kind of powerless without a convincing argument that makes them at least understand that installing stuff like Instagram on your phone is basically willingly installing a virus. They don’t even get surprised anymore when the ads they see are about stuff they were talking about with someone else in real life, and never mentioned or searched in their phones. I’m afraid that this will only get worse with time, and new generations that are being born under these circumstances are going to see it as normal. This means that making them understand the implications of not taking their privacy seriously is going to be harder and harder. I won’t give up, though. I’m still searching for my “irrefutable argument”.

I don't get it either! It's a good article and I 100% agree with the author. Maybe it's because it's talking about a service and the whole article can be considered as advertisement, but I don't agree.
I'm in the same boat! I got tired of the constant enshittification of Fusion360 and started learning FreeCAD. And wow! it's way less intuitive. But I think I'll push through, as I don't want anything but open-source for this. The reason being that I don't want the same thing to happen again: I spend an unholy amount of time learning how to use a CAD software, and then it becomes the hottest steaming pile of corporate shit possible and I don't want to use it anymore. That's why I haven't even started looking at OnShape. With open-source the biggest risk is that the same thing might happen if the project gets abandoned, but it doesn't seem to be the case for FreeCAD (at least in the foreseeable future). In any case, I'm interested in hearing what others have to say :)
Stephen Hawes
He made really cool electronics projects and I used to be his patreon. Now he started a company that makes pick and place machines and all of his videos are exclusively about that. No more cool projects.
Alexandre Chappel
He is a very good maker and designer. He used to make videos about different interesting projects until he bought an apartment and started renovating it himself. Similarly to Stephen's, all of his videos are about that now. No more interesting projects.
Also, if the ads where in different parts of the video every time, it would not be possible to use SponsorBlock for them :(
Gotcha. Thanks!
For me it was the Dolomites, in Italy. I considered abandoning my current life and moving there several times during my trip.
Hello again! I am trying Flatcar, and I really like the concept. I had not used immutable distros before. I have a question: How can I apply changes to the configuration? I have a YAML file with the butane config and transpile it to a JSON file with the ignition configuration. How do I apply that new configuration? Do I have to delete the VM and start over again, or is there a way to update it inside the VM? I looked around in the official docs, but did not find anything :(
I use it too! I really like it :)
If you are into the apple ecosystem I can highly recommend AirTags. They work amazingly well, dont require a data plan and the battery lasts around 2 years. I have one in my bike.
