It’ll be a software as a service subscription-based racket, possibly with micro transactions

Oh you want blue skies? There’s a VR-based software solution for that

Blue skies? A sacrifice this guy and his friends in tech are apparently willing to make -, for all of us

It kinda funny how the German is already heavily loaded and trying to make it a bad thing, but the English translation is reducing any amount of nuance the original text still had left in it, painting it as this devil institution brainwashing young people into becoming soulless borg commies.

for example, the original last sentence reads like this, faithfully translated: “Socialist morals and a positive attitude to life in a community were more important learning goals than the development of individual skills.”

Here’s the whole thing, trying to be as faithful and transliteral as I can be to the original:
Kindergarten served not only for childcare, it was also the first educational institution, anyone born in the GDR would visit. Obviously, because of this, state leadership had an interest in providing wide coverage: places at a Kindergarten were available for way more than 90 percent of children. The daily schedule was precisely planned and applicable to everyone: they would play together, eat together and have naps together - under instruction [you could read this as “guidance” too, but the tone of the original is very clearly already trying to make the supervision part of childcare into an evil commie thing, so yea]. Socialist morals and a positive attitude to life in a community were more important learning goals than the development of individual skills.

Merry Hexmas everyone!

some days you’re the robot, some days you’re the dog,

and other times you just happen to be a raccoon with a surplus ghetto blaster

I liked it as well, go watch it

o_O

it’s real but it was hackers commandeering the projectors

edit: or maybe not, I bothered looking up a Berlin newspaper article talking about it, and apparently it’s a screengrab from a fake video. The two cop cars under the gate do look fishy / duplicated

Last of Us was good
Halo is generally pretty well received, though I felt it was sorta mid (but enjoyable enough, I guess)

this just reminded me, amazon is still doing that Disco Elysium show I believe

How dare you, dithering is the People’s Blur

I’m pretty happy with Podcini, it’s FOSS and does all I need
Also supports importing lists of podcasts, though I’m not sure it does patreon feeds at all, you’d have to check

I’m gonna miss them and I hope this wasn’t the last we’ve heard from them… Kyle already mentioned he may be on the other emancipation network shows on occasion and I’m looking forward to that. Hope for June the job’s worth it, sounds like a stressful gig but all the best with that too.

I really am gonna miss em tho

oh no, what’s this now…

are they really ending it, I gotta listen

I definitely wouldn’t recommend smoking in that case, but vaping you could try if you make sure the vape is not getting too hot. If you do vaping right it’s basically warm, spicy mist - still may make you cough, but could be manageable if you’re careful. The effect is a lot more immediate from vaping, is the only reason I’d at least consider it in your case. You can also try ingesting it orally for a slower uptake, though I’m not sure what a good dosage or way would be for you. Can’t really OD on CBD though, so don’t stress it too much. If you go that way just beware, there are a lot of snakeoil products out there with CBD. I’d try going for a basic oil extract from a reputable vendor that ideally also sells whole flower, that should give you a pure, reliable, versatile solution for oral ingestion. You could put it on food or even bake with it (I think), take it any way you would ingest oil. Alternatively, you can solve it in alcohol, but I don’t think that’s a great idea for your use case.

There’s probably also CBD in pill form some way or other, I’m sure

have you heard of medical marijuana

could probably unironically help you reduce your dosage but don’t expect miracles obviously. Try vaping some herb, maybe it helps. If you don’t wanna get high, try pure CBD strains.

lemons are great for this. You don’t need all of it, just the skin. press the lemon and enjoy the juice, put the skins on the glass rack and you’ll have a fresh lemon flavor when opening the door. needs replacing every other wash or so (they get hard and stop smelling)

in addition to just getting off earlier, you can also try to filter some of the blue light / glare from your screens towards the evening. The most popular sunset simulation redshift thingy is probably flux and I recommend giving it a shot. Might help you get tired more easily

It’s not a magic bullet or anything, but I find it relaxing for my eyes at least and it might help your sleep too
