Money is not. Some people are so poor, all they have is money. I came to the conclusion that we all are working drones, making the queens richer and were sent to other tribes to grab more riches. Be it war, competition, social ladder etc. Most if not the majority of people are totally uninteresting because they dont enrich your life and not theirs. Only a few stars exist in the youtube universe, as example. But millions of people chasing the same dream to become some important dude that people would remember in centuries. The opposite is the case. Today, everyone is sooo special, so interesting...its boring, to be frank. You can be happy if you make an income that will pay your meds, the future wheelchair and a comfy home.

As if people would not talk to each other or post such instructions elsewhere.... What a clumsy attempt to censor that. As if we now would love Microsoft for their shit and crap they produce since centuries. I only got a gaming machine running it here, all my private data will stay on another linux machine

tom89999 | 4 months ago | on: The traffickers are winning the war on drugs

>>Once hooked on heroin you need more heroin

No, you need your daily dosage you are used to. I was an addict for a short time and then went to rehab and never did it since 10 years. And yes, like you said, the demand is there. Every day and must be satisfied. Over here in europe, we have substitution clinics and doctors where you are given polamidon or subutex(dont know whats its called somewhere else) to get you from the streets and injecting doubtable mixtures and catch hepatitis and aids. But not all people qualify for that, so they still have to go to the streets. As an addict myself, i can say, it was dire living conditions, unemployment, the wrong friends and some more factors. Sure it was fun the first times, i used to consume alcohol, which is especially totally legal in bavaria(Oktoberfest) i use to live. Then, the streets are washed with drugs, people making a huge amount of money from it and replacing a decent job and income with drug dealing. But, there is help. I undergone rehab, now living a good life, can afford an exlusive hobby and got married. People that will use drugs are born every second on this earth ball. Times are changing, not every time for the better. We have crisis, wars and other shit while an elite group of people getting richer the same second every day and celebrating their success with cocaine that makes you think you were given the nobel prize at the same time you won the lottery. Especially coke is the drug of the wealthy and successful people, thats why the demand is high and everyone wants his bit of the cake....

I just watched the tragic hazard of a maritime vessel where the wreck was coated with gravel to hinder any further investigation. The captain of that ship was rescued, but disappeared and was never seen again. Also a passenger that survived, was declared dead by media despite having called its relatives the next day....

Switch the fucking thing off. You are not that important. Things can wait. The world turned many revolutions without such a thing. You dont profit, your boss and companies do, you pay with your health, money and more. Your kids dont get smarter, you spawn even dumber kids in the future.

tom89999 | 7 months ago | on: German founders: is it possible to do bookkeeping by yourself?

If you are creating, producing or whatever as a one-man-show, forget it. The time you need for bookkeeping or fighting with non-paying customers, you cant be productive. A tax advisor is needed if you are VAT-taxable. Forget the ads showing people doing their taxes on their mobile phones. That is not possible.

tom89999 | 7 months ago | on: Linux on Snapdragon X Elite: Linaro and Tuxedo Pave the Way for ARM64 Laptops

The display unit is nothing an enduser should replace. Does every user know how to handle the delicate display and how to carefully install the LVDS cable? In most modern cars you cant replace the windscreen with cameras, heating wires in your backyard without the calibration software. You can try it, but you will fail.

tom89999 | 7 months ago | on: Linux on Snapdragon X Elite: Linaro and Tuxedo Pave the Way for ARM64 Laptops

I am fed up with the linux world. I run Ubuntu on a randomly selected Thinkpad, everything works, outta the box. Why should i buy a new laptop because it holds another cpu doing the exact workload? I cant code faster, cant talk faster with people and being productive 8hrs strait is just a lie. Since almost 10years i read about pre-installed devices, but i dont see them anywhere. Most companies dont have business linux apps and they wont be available, an armada of developers is busy bringing the light of the webcam functioning. Why not specialize in something else like software the entire world runs on like SAP or whatever? Its nice to spend a rainy day to compile your kernel...but the outcome?

tom89999 | 7 months ago | on: Doctor's note no longer excuse for absences at TN school district

We experience the same here, over the great pond in germany. Summer holidays start soon and some children are already en route to the holiday destination, missing school. Its unlawful and fined, parents risk it every vacation season. Parents want to hop on the cheaper flight or want to have extra days. Usually, if kids do not attend school for at least a minimum, they will be held back and have to start over in their grade again. This is no warning to the parents that will have much more fun with them... If i dont show up to work unexcused, i wont get paid. If i am getting caught attending to a party while called in sick, its a felony, insurance fraud. This is to teach young people, you are responsible for your actions.

tom89999 | 7 months ago | on: Working from home isn't just here to stay, it's growing

Been there, done that. Hated it. Being 24 hrs in your own home is imprisonment with money. You dont meet people while commuting, you dont see whats happening in your own town and after work, you still sit on your desk browsing mindless websites, stuffing junkfood into your mouth because you havent shopped and cooked yourself a meal. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, nothing more than an embaressment for the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself.

The mobile phone holds way more functions. Back then, you have listend to your favorite album. No distraction, no incoming messages, nobody called. Today, you get distracted while listening to one single song, mom calls, other waiting you fill their lonely life and so on. Together with social media that thing will make the dumb dumber.

tom89999 | 8 months ago | on: The War on the Walkman

You are the best example of a self-centered homo sapiens. Why not spending time with people you dont even know? I met a lot of people and listend to very usable things for my life.
