  • It was an attempt at humor. :)

    Ok let me say it in a better way. People who work in IT do it because they like it. Many of the first world wide web pages or YouTube videos were made without anyone wanting any money for it. There was no profit motive or expectation whatsoever.

    That’s why I thought it was funny to read how instance owners are doing labor without getting paid, as if that was the purpose of the instance. To get paid for running it.

    To me that’s funny. It’s a bit like me painting a painting and putting it out there, and asking people to pay for my labor. The hours I spent making it. Because now the painting exists in the world. Who is gonna pay for it?

    I believe instance admins are more than happy running the instance without profit motive. Because it’s nice to be part of giving something to a community of people.












  • Social media changed dating, and made it ok for both women and men to treat eachother as commodities, resources, status symbols.

    This bleeds over in real life, where women don’t need/want to have relationships with men anymore (in real life) in the west (outside of their love relationship). They already get all the attention they need from hundreds of men on social media telling them they are beautiful.

    A lot of western guys go for girls in Indonesia or Thailand these days, because they are kind and beautiful. Of course the girls see the opportunity to be with a guy from the west who has money. But it seems to work out. Both genders are often happy in those relationships, both get what they value from it.

    All my stuff is on a network drive (movies and other big files). All configuration of apps is in git (their config files).

    Makes it easy to start over.

    I just reinstall apps I need, it’s so simple with Linux and package managers handling it all.
