Mate, let’s first focus on getting you better. Nevermind how the parents would react, parents aren’t there forever and their reach on our lives can only go so far. I know in Asian culture things can get nasty, but at the end of the day there’s just you and your sense of self. It gets better as you age and get to know yourself more and work through the issues left by trauma. But we need to get away from the morbidity aspect, that’s not good for you.

Sorry, I’m not trying to be your therapist, but there’s some relatability in your words, I feel an impulse to help.

Hey, can’t go have coffee with you because the water’s been cut and I can’t shower after the big dump I took. No flushing either =D.

(that’s how it went in my mind)

Hmm I don’t know… Users usually don’t pay much attention to security. And the disclosure method actively hides it from the user until it no longer matters.

For providers, I understand, but can’t fully agree. I think it’s a misguided culture that creates busy-work at all levels.

Indeed, then it becomes a market and it incentivises more research on that area. Which I don’t think is helpful for anyone. It’s like your job description being “professional pessimist”. We could be putting that amount of effort into building more secure software to begin with.

That’s the fallacy I’m alluding to when I mention stuxnet. We have really well funded, well intentioned, intelligent people creating tools, techniques and overall knowledge in a field. Generally speaking, some of these findings are more makings then findings.

God, I hate security “researchers”. If I posted an article about how to poison everyone in my neighborhood, I’d be getting a knock on the door. This kind of shit doesn’t help anyone. “Oh but the state-funded attackers, remember stuxnet”. Fuck off.

It can be overwhelming, yes. But it’s not difficult. A bunch of dumb people go through it every day and they get to their destination just fine. =)

Don’t worry about anxiety, once you get there just focus on the next thing that needs to be done at any given moment and you’ll be ok. You’ll find that the brain gets into a problem-solving state and you’ll be landing in Korea before you even notice.

I try to remove the extra comma.

Yep, you’re blind to how much worse VR is than anything else, even mobile gaming. But alright, keep pushing new people into this trap, I don’t have any stakes in this.

It’s great that you like VR and want other people to try it. But when someone asks for a recommendation, you can’t just attempt to drag them into your own world like that, c’mon. VR is expensive, cumbersome, needs extra space in the house, has very few games (actual games) worth playing, etc. It’s an amazing immersive technology, yes. But a 30yo that never touched a game before? There’s very little in terms of gaming on any VR platform for them to experience, instead there’s a lot of VRing, which I think misses the point of this thread.

Right, then play the one or two games on it that don’t suck and never touch the thing again.

From a non-american’s perspective this question is just baffling.

Is high-school that bad of an experience for you guys? Where I come from that’s one of the best times in your life, when you get to hang out with friends and have little responsibility, etc.

About homelessness, that’s another crazy one. People need to have a home and need friends and human interaction. Sleeping in your car without ever interacting with anyone is not a way of life.

Others have also mentioned that prison without people is solitary confinement and that is known to literally drive people mad.

It’s always been this way. Except that it was kernel developers arguing with kernel developers over C code. Now it’s relative newcomers arguing with kernel developers over Rust code that the kernel devs don’t necessarily care about. Of course it’s going to be a mess.

A fork is of course possible, but operating systems are huge and very complex, you really don’t want to alienate these folks that have been doing exclusively this for 30 years. It would be hard to keep the OS commercially viable with a smaller group and having to do both the day to day maintenance, plus the rewrite. It’s already difficult as it is currently.

Rust will be a huge success in time, long after the current names have lost their impetus. This is not a “grind for 4 years and it’s done” project.

There’s human fossils where it’s clear they poured molten bronze or something into a mans skull to patch the broken bone. Using metals to mend bones has been a practice since ever basically.

Yes, and it was my first job out of university. Incredible. It has set the standard for me. Everyone extremely polite, restrained, no oversharing, no politics discussions in the office, no drama. People would just gravitate towards those that shared their views and would have coffee breaks at different times than other groups. Everyone was painfully aware of how bad these things can get, so we all made an effort to keep the environment light.

I just block everything that has the words “news” or “meme” in them. That already avoids you 90% of bad news and disgrace.

People who use spaces are not taping space space space space space space space space. Their tapping the tab key all the same.

Wow, super newsworthy. Even included some bs about “colorful language”. Can’t let a thing like that go by without trying to entice some internet drama.
