  • I’ve been living here for 4 years and basically never seen any disabled people. Perhaps one or two wheel chairs but otherwise nobody. Same with all the parking spots for disabled, they are all empty all the times.

    From what I gather disabled people are mostly kept inside. From https://www.goisc.org/englishblog/2022/5/12/the-struggle-never-ends-the-apr-20-protests-against-disability-discrimination

    In Korea, it seems people with disabilities only exist on April 20. Only on this day do politicians flock to the official ceremony to display their concern as famous singers perform on stage; as awards are handed to those who “overcame” their disability and are living like non-disabled people; and as stories of “normal people” who “helped” the disabled touch the hearts of many. However, once the day is over, people with disabilities are forgotten once again, and business goes on as usual, centered on non-disabled people. Disabled people who cannot “overcome” their disability and live like non-disabled people find themselves unable to travel freely, get education, or get work as before. Even worse, they might be confined to their homes or to facilities for the disabled under the pretense of “protection” just awaiting their deaths.











  • I worked in Germany, started apprenticeship to become a heating engineer when I was 16 for 3.5 so that time I payed in but not much, then I worked 2 years in a factory but in between I was in military, but I guess this counts to some degree. Then I went back to school to be able to go to university.

    But then I moved to Sweden, there I worked 1.5 years as a paperboy during the night while learning the language. Then I worked for 2 years as a web frontend developer and then I went to University. During University I worked half time as a iPhone app and web developer for about 5 years. Then I worked for 7 years as a embedded developer at a car supplier company.

    And then I moved to Korea and worked here for 3 years with the same.

    So at 46 I only have 14 years of 100% work and 5 years at 50% work and then those very low paying jobs 5 years and one year of military. And that between 3 countries and two continents.







  • Nextcloud it just too heavy I totally agree, and everything feels slow and sluggish.

    For just files I use Syncthing and couldn’t be happier, it just works in the background without a central server just syncs the files between phones, PCs and laptops by itself. I set it up like 5 years ago when I had enough of Nextcloud and to be honest most of the time I forget that I have it, but I use it every day to sync my password database for KeePassXC, my music, my private and work documents between all my devices.
