The other way around makes more sense: “An existential crisis is just applied philosophy.”

You do you.

Basic financial education is a tough one.
- Comment on It's important to get a good interest rate 2 weeks ago:
What’s more absurd is that there are people willing to pay that.
- Comment on Screw Uber! 2 weeks ago:
I know this is satire, but part of me is afraid that it might not be.
- Comment on ISPs can charge extra for fast gaming under FCC’s Internet rules, critics say 4 weeks ago:
I hope the EU handles that. I’m happy that I’m not in the US.
- Comment on Apple argues in favor of selling Macs with only 8GB of RAM 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, sure. Even if what they say about the OS resource usage is true, it’s only a fraction of the total usage. A lot of the multiplatform software will use the same resources regardless of the OS. Many apps eat RAM for breakfast, doesn’t matter if it’s content creation or software development. Heck, even smartphones these days have have this much or more RAM.
I won’t argue, I just won’t buy an Apple product in the near future or probably ever at all.
- Comment on Microsoft is blocking Windows Customization Tools 5 weeks ago:
The irony is that people create these tools mostly because they’re frustrated by the limited customisation options provided by default. If Microsoft ever listens to feedback, it’s quite limited, and it takes ages for the new stuff get implemented; moreover very often you just about get used to something and the rug gets pulled from under your feet.
- Comment on acceptable screws 1 month ago:
Joke aside, curious about what the percentage distribution is on those. I won’t be surprised if the first two together have like 90% or more.

Which one is do and which - do?
- Comment on are people still all riled up about beehaw? 3 months ago:
I don’t really care. It was I think the first instance I learned about (must’ve been the most popular at the time) and I applied for an account there, but by the time it got approved I had already started posting on lemmy.world, so here I am.

Jazz JackRabbit on MS-DOS on my dad’s computer.
- Comment on Americans are asleep, post European windows 3 months ago:
Wait until you hear about the price of a whole renovation.
- Comment on Americans are asleep, post European windows 3 months ago:
Not really. What you see on the picture can be had for as little as like 200-300 EUR depending on the glazing, moreover it’s not something you buy every day - usually only when you renovate every 10-15 years or whatever.
- Comment on I had some that looked exactly like this 3 months ago:
I haven’t seen those anywhere around me - must be a US thing. I guess the whole temporary thing is more of a “we don’t have permission to build anything permanent and this can be dismantled if needed”, not necessarily “this will be here temporarily”.

Don’t worry, America still Bad.
- Comment on Amazon Prime Video will start showing ads on January 29th unless you pay extra for ad-free 4 months ago:
How would they show ads to me if I don’t use their services?

- Comment on how much backing up would you do of a media server? 4 months ago:
I have the equivalent of RAID 5 too, but mind the usual “RAID is not a backup” - if you deliberately delete something (or something goes wrong with an app managing your media), hardware redundancy won’t save you in any way; it only helps if the data is intact and you want to remedy a hardware failure.
- Comment on how much backing up would you do of a media server? 4 months ago:
I only back up my music collection because I put extra effort into organising and tagging everything, plus some of it is rips of CDs not available anywhere. As for movies and TV shows, I only back up configurations and catalogues of the relevant apps, the contents themselves are 1) too big to be feasible to back up and 2) 99% of the time available to re-download.

The question then is why the intern has access to the shut down button.

So anything else it is then.
- Comment on My whole night is booked now 5 months ago:
Do people actually sit down and watch these focused? I see longer and longer videos on YouTube because the algorithm seems to favour those, but for me, the longer it is, the more chance it has to be played as background noise or not played at all.

Searching does help, but hey, you have to know what to search for and then how to apply the findings.
