Same... although I did graduate with a lot of debt that forced me into jobs I hated for many years.

Not just private banks, but the US government realized they could make a ton of profit by charging interest on loans rather than enforcing tuition caps or reigning in university bureacracy and loan companies, and all the middlemen who profit at the expense of teachers and students. The whole experience left me disillusioned with the US education system, and I saw it as more of a business or a racket than actually about educating people into professions that ensure their future financial security.

This was fully documented in the soviet archives too. Here's an article about it: https://archive.is/6afHk

You love to see it.

De-dollarization can't happen fast enough, as the dollar is one of the pillars of US power. Good thing countries are banding together to make it a priority.

You mean the power cost of a computer idling at home?

I have 5 computers (beelink and nuc servers) at home rn, each idles at ~6 watts. That's about 40 usd a year. One computer would be 8.5 usd per year.

This is the first post I've ever seen that's gotten twitter-style ratio'd. There are more comments than votes.

If you're able to code from a terminal, and care about longer battery life (my main concern when working from a coffee shop or elsewhere), I'd recommend getting a used android tablet, pry something from xiaomi or oneplus. You can find a decent model used for around that price with > 8 hour battery life easily.

Get a good stand, a solid bluetooth keyboard (logitech makes some great portable ones), and put termux on it (can probably handle light python locally).

If you need it to do CPU powerful tasks, use termux to remote into a VPS or your home server, and let a plugged in linux machine do the work so you can save your device's battery life. This is how I code at least.

Funny, when indigenous peoples from the americas asked that question, the US settlers just killed them.

Are you really doing a "reverse ethnic cleansing" rn? Lord free me from redditors.

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 month ago

where it is okay for one ethnic group to systemically displace another

Ah the old "reverse ethnic cleansing"... all you white supremacists are coming out to play.

The absolute gall of westerners whose ancestors literally did ethnic cleansing, to then yell that at their victims at the hint of returning stolen land back to indigenous sovereignty.

Step 1: Steal something.

Step 2: Give it to your kid.

Step 3: The kid whines finders keepers, and that they shouldn't have to give it back.

Diseases did not conquer hundreds of tribes. The history of the new world is a one of campaigns of war and conquest against indigenous peoples. The fact that many are ignorant of this history is part of the whitewashing project. I linked some audiobooks below so you can learn this history.

If the nazis won, they would teach you about the shoah in exactly the same way western nations teach you about the colonization of the americas.

About Habit-Maker

Have you found it difficult to build new habits? Habit-Maker uses rewards and encouragements to help get over initial willpower required to form new habits.

Features

Rewards

Habit-Maker game-ifies making habits by giving you rewards each time you check a habit. It shows the following progress metrics:

  • Streaks - The # of days you've completed your habit in a row.
  • Points - points for checking habits, with multipliers for continuing your streak.
  • % progress to your 66-day-ingrained habit.

Encouragements

Studies have found that encouragements are vital to building new habits. Habit-Maker takes advantage of this by allowing you to create your own custom encouragements.

Before creating a habit, take a few minutes and think about why you want to build this habit. What benefits will it bring you, and how your life will improve by doing it?

A good encouragement should have:

  • An initial congratulations for completing the habit.
  • A message tailored to you, about the benefits or reasons why you should continue.

Some examples of good encouragements:

Activity Encouragement
Brushing your teeth Great job! Your friends will like seeing your whiter teeth, and less coffee stains.
Lifting weights for 10m Nice job! People will notice your better physique.
Cardio for 10m Well done! Studies show you're going to live a lot longer!
Working out for 10m Excellent! You'll have more energy, and feel healthier by continuing!
Meditating for 10m Nice! You're on your way to bettering the lives of those around you, by developing your awareness.

Completing a habit

Once a habit has been formed, its relatively easy to continue doing it, almost as if it were on auto-pilot. Research shows that ~40% of our daily activities are habits that don't require much (if any) willpower once they've been formed.
