Incidentally the plateau is a great hiking spot, it's obviously beautiful, not particularly overrun (compared to the Alps it's almost comically empty), there are reasonably many dnt huts - typically self service -, and free camping is explicitly allowed in Norway.

Yep I switched from quertz to this because the symbols used in coding are Ansi QWERTY derived. Can still write German and get brackets on layer 0 best of both worlds.

Recently my stepsister replied to my half joking complaint about not getting within a second of the lap record at the kart track, that maybe this complaint explains some of the issues I'm having.

Upon rolling the thought around in my head a ton since then yeah that tracks, the question now becomes how to not aim high, and or not be disappointed by missing high aims. And why this is my Modus operandi to begin with, to aim high, not try all that hard and expect to succeed.

I think perhaps in tandem with education - parental or institutional - getting even worse/changing from what you or I might be used to. The shift from search to algorithm as the primary way to interact with the Internet is also a significant factor, the Internet might've changed significantly before I was really there, but it certainly changed 2008-2016 mostly in that shift from search to platform/algorithm.

And early zoomers might've started their online existence just around the start of that transition while late zoomers, basically only know the Plattform/App/Algorithm world we have today.

If you were to be really cynical about it : The powers at be started losing the control over the messaging specifically to the online world, and managed to grapple it back starting in the mid 2000s just as the size/power of the space became significant. Zoomers might be here or there depending on how and when their first online experiences played out.

I'm just on the very earliest of zoomers, and my cohort largely got hit with 2008 as we were just starting to grapple with politics, and with 2016 right around graduating high school. For me Search was the Internet starting point, Wiki, YT and forums all in service to my curiosity and also there for my entertainment/ placating.

perhaps for someone a bit later it's all just entertainment, no problem solving, no strange sub subculture, just whatever you desire to see or listen to or read imidiately there, without you even needing to think about it, so accurately getting your attention that it's perhaps more attractive than thinking, or making a decision.

The bad habit is there for me too, I think some younger people might not be able to even recognize it as such, maybe for them that's just how the world works.

Yes I have never learned to type and left shift isn't getting any use.

Subjectively should I learn how to type ? I do like 60 wpm currently without training and use probably 7/10 fingers.

KPMG, Deloitte and Mc Kinsey, for reasons that include at times being both financial auditor and bookkeeping at the same time, and consultancy meaning reducing headcount no matter the cost.

I don't really know all that much about it honestly but all I've heard of them, is that they get the smartest people to do the worst thing that they can get away with.

Because some people can feel the guy who got turned into a Beetle. And it's sufficiently sad and disorienting to be interesting to read.

You just don't seem to ever feel Gregor.

To me Goethe is far less interesting, even with Dürrenmatt I question if he might be more boring.

I'm not sure I can say what the difference is between people that like and dislike Kafka, but I have a friend who also thinks Kafka to be boring and another who like me quite likes Kafka, when compared to other classics, and in some ways that are hard to pin down we just seem to think differently. So much so that the guy who doesn't care for Kafka at times seems like a bumbling fool and at others like a sage of wisdom, he definitely isn't either of those outright, but our knowledge, our neural pathways might just be different in such a way that even though we are friends and close in age, social and economic strata(and so on), we percive and think fundamentally different.

jdownloader includes yt-dlp and is generally good if you want to download things that you might or might not be supposed to download

The esoteric method of YouTube citations + RL recommendations + Google search "[topic I'm thinking about]+ Reddit"+ source of the anime I've watched. It's fine so far but I've just gotten back into reading so I may still add yet more esoteric methods.

It does my brother in overkill at the time but somehow in retrospect completely worth it GPU.

If nobody ever would identify with a flag we'd have like 1 problem less.

Just for a little reminder why one might be pissed of at people threatening to vote CDU of all things in this environment.
