“Neil, I don’t understand why you self-host so much. You’re so old fashioned, you should be using the cloud it is so much better”

Also

“Neil, the service I was using for $x has shut down without notice and $y has changed it terms of service and wants to scan my content to train its AI and $z is changing its subscription model to charge me loads more - what would you do?”

The corporations really don't want me to be able to have a temporary phone number. All these things that require a phone number in order to function are surveillance apparatuses.

Why is it difficult to buy a fucking lamp? I don’t want a remote control, I don’t want “music mode” and I certainly will never connect my lamp to the internet or install a POS lamp app on my phone. I just want a stick that light comes out of.

@rasterman Useful skills that kids can learn but don't teach at schools (or only, optionally teach in high school at a basic level):
* Repairing stuff
* Woodcrafting
* Leathercrafting
* Welding
* Soldering
* Gardening and raising animals
* Hunting (or how to fire a gun)
* Fishing

These skills can be taught at a young age by parents or other mentors and if you are good enough, you can use them to start your own small business. Schools on the other hand either teach you useless shit like history, or stuff that you can easily learn on your own like your own native language or math. In fact, school probably conditions children to hate learning. Children are naturally curious they want to learn, but school makes learning feel like prison.

How does one manage to hold those two concepts in their head at the same time is beyond me.
