Same for me, no TV for the last 15 years. All I consume is online and about topics I like.
TBs of data per day? You know how much text fits into 1tb? o.O
Anyway, we seem to enjoy a pretty similar type of entertainment. For me, it's all about liking what I do. I can't stand doing things I dislike at all.
Lemme ask you about ADHD?! I'm pretty sure I have it but don't care. I am who I am. How about you?
I have a theory: information is best remembered if it is acquired solving a problem.
Play with the new tech, hit a roadblock, read and learn. That way you are motivated, know why you are reading the stuff and also only learn the stuff that isn't intuitive.
Depending on experience many things are just like something you already know and easy to learn/remember, others are not. Don't waste your time learning the first.
On the other hand, put me into a room with a teacher, who tries to teache me specifics about a tech I don't care about and I will promise you, I will learn nothing. Even worse, I will start to hate that tech.
My trick to remember:
You can link to a target without giving a name to the link. ln will use the basename of the target file then. You can't create a link without a target, so target has to go first since it's not optional. Did it for me
There is a way with chmod in bash to change files and folders with files getting no execute bit and folder do (rwX instead of rwx). It's in the man pages but good luck finding it via Google. Stackoverflow just suggests using find over and over again.
That did it for me.
Nice one. Doing for loops with a list of files is a common mistake. I hate the exec syntax of find though. Why the fuck do we need ; at the end
non technical people are doing pretty well, because they don't try to install photoshop or nvidia drivers downloaded from the nvidia drivers page.
The "windows power user" are the hardest demographic, because they expect to know what they are doing but the don't if they are new to linux.
What did LTT write in the terminal again: "i know that this opperation will delete my gui and i am sure that i want that", presses enter and wonders why his gui is gone. go figure

humans are crazy. You want to know whats wrong with trees and bees? It's pretty hard to make a profit of them

It's not about understanding. It's about sorting,
Everybody understand both notations, but if you use it for filenames sorting is important. Natural sorting order is an important feature that should be considered.
day month year is just stupid in that regard. Not only does the of the month depend on the language, but also if sorted you get the first of every month grouped together.

Tbh I'm astounded that politics in the past managed to get that thought reflected in law and constitution. Not guilty until proven otherwise. In dubio pro reo!
Nowadays, I would not expect that much rationality from most people.
A few years ago I went for a walk and in front of me two left leaning people were talking to each other: "I'm looking forward to Saturday" the girl said to the guy. "There is a big Nazi demo in the next big city and I can't wait to punch an Nazi"...
So in what way are you better then the Nazi, I thought.
It always starts with dehumanizing the others... then you can do whatever you want to them, without thinking about the suffering you created
It all depends on, if natural birth has positive effects on the newborn. If it has, your pov is wrong. If not, you are right. And since we don't know for sure, nobody has the right to look down upon others opinions.
Everything is "us against them" nowadays. Whey can't we accept that other people might come to different conclusions?
