As a chemist when I read such a title I already know it’s one of those organic chemistry rule of thumb rules. All of them are named and most of them old and from text books. Such rules are useful rules for drawing stick figures of molecules. They are not the same as actual rules of physics for example.

But it’s always cool when someone finds out how to make molecular structures we thought wouldn’t work.

Did it? We’re still here.

Right? For me the free as in freedom always had the upside and downside of people have the freedom to use it how they want. Within the very lenient license which might be in use of course. This can include the freedom to do things with the software which the creators and contributors might not agree with or like.

But in the end a certain trust in humanity and the concept of freedom itself mean that we believe the net sum of making your software free will be positive for everyone. And to this day I haven’t managed to become enough of a cynic to change my mind on this.

Its possible to dicuss licenses which helps prevent certain abuse cases. In fact those already exist. However people talk like this is the main issue of FOSS which I don’t think it is at all.

They also do not descriminate against evidence based on reliability.

But it is.

They know you can’t improve on a master piece.

The butocracy can be absolute hell as are a huge emphasis on being punctual.

But at least we got a decent enough Healthcare to actuslly get therapy and meds if you need them. It’s barred behind said hellish butocracy. But at least it is there.

Just a normal alarm timer app.

Forget appointments? Lose track of time when doing things? I set timers. Most apps allow recurring timers. For example I got one going off twice each day to remind me to drink some water.

I gotta leave in 40 minutes so I got some time to read or whatever. If I don’t set an alarm I’ll lose track of time and be late. Easy fix.

As far as habits go.

Be honest with myself about my shortcomings. If I start gaming at 9 pm it won’t be half an hour. Be honest. Go to bed now or accept it will be midnight.

No, I won’t just do that later. I will forget. Write it down or do it now. Else I will forget.

I do make more deliberate choices on what I expose myself to content and general life experience wise. Because when it comes down to it I don’t have a say in where the next hyperfixation takes me.

For example I am staying the hell away from trading card games because I enjoy being able to pay my rent.

A TV? I don’t have that.

Mobile add-ons. Nice!

Polar bears love it.

Online or offline multi-player?

As for couch coop Rayman Origins and Rayman Legends is some of the most fun I ever had with friends gaming.

As if this game didn’t already have a ton of content and variety. Awesome.

Only if the website is part of the product. Like if to use the product I have to login on the website or am forced to regularly use it or whatever. Then if it is advertised as 100% open source I’d probably be like ‘is it though?’.

I just realized I don’t know how I hold y mouse.

I feel wishing to not go to the same old boring workplace and grasping at any straw to avoid it very well fits into one imo.

True but it helps get the concept across so much.

I found since people are used to app stores, I’ve had a much easier time convincing people to try out Linux. My mom even said that she always wished her windows PC had a proper app store.
