"12-month-old infants who had different levels of touchscreen usage"

Why the fuck would you have infants with 'levels of touchscreen usage' at 12 month?

Company has their office under control but not yours. Doesn't matter if you think your office is more secure. Mine has access control.

Also we are not talking about the person who is really smart about it we talk about the avg person. There are plenty of stories of laptops being stolen in coffee shops or from a train.

And its also a Network thing. Do i want you to be able to pull/push something into my corp network fromyour home network?

When you reach a certain scale, you will verify the tools which are running on the machines of your employees.

I'm not seeing a problem with it and my default stack is not that big: chrome, intellij, shell etc. it is reasonable and someone has to do it.

Funny enough i though so as well but discovered quite quickly that without this stuff, a lot of people are doing shit.

Do i think someone needs to tell me not to put every shitty tool on my work laptop which has a corp certificate? Access to vpn and corp network? With access to HyperScalers?

No.

What do my collegues? Everything. Oh there is a nice new shiny tool and it sends metrics to an external service, lets try this out...

If i pay an external $1000 per day and that price doesn't change when they are in my office or at home, i would put them in my office for obvious security risks.

If corona means i can't get my work done, i have a new risk.

Security risk for external consultants having full access at their home vs. no one can work -> i might choose the externals giving access.

Its not imaginary.

I would love to and it feels like i'm sitting here waiting for everyone to stand up letting all the shit stay and start changing the world.

I started this by talking to people, changing my lifestyle etc. just to get more and more depressed about this topic.

Politics are not fast enough, there are enough people who really don't care and it doesn't feel anyone is starting it.

Im jumping between "saving the planet together" vs. "buying a small plot of land, building a small house on it, putting solar panels and solar thermy on the roof, buying/building a water reserva, building a storehouse and doing indoor farming and living my life until i'm dead".

My mental image of 'men eat meat' has changed the last 10 years for eating less etc. but then you talk to someone else and its the same simple/stupid talk as usual.

It is quite common here to shot deer to keep it under control and it gets sold to local butchers.

At least in germany.

My father is also a hunter.

Its looks like this: https://www.google.com/search?q=jaeger+deutschland&tbm=isch&...

We should fix the mental image of having meat/fish every single day.

And the rest of it.

A few month ago we were in a nice restaurant, my wife got a non meat dish and i got a meat dish (i also order non meat dishes it just happend that time)

The waiter told me exactly what meat i had and for my wife he said 'the vegetarian dish'. No its not the vegetarian dish. It has a name and its tasty.

Thats just a crazy habit to have :)

I feel already bad when i order food twice a month.

It even never occurred to me to do takeout all the time. I have already feel guilty when i see all the packaging for take out and regret it at the moment.

Soooo you still live in our society? Including using bottled water? Cloth from overseas? Consuming highly processed food?

You are very much dependent.

Whats the difference between me, working in tech, having a good job, great money and being able to put everything i earn in my own land and become independent with something between 40 and 50 versus you? Stoped working, doing small jobs barely making it, not having any money for any sustainable development on your own?

If you are not doing it, everyone else will do.

Either you understand and accept that the world is going to look different in 50 years and you are ready for it with the minimum footprint you need or you go more extreme to try to change something.

And even if you do know that you might not change the world, if you would sacrifice for the society, the money you would earn in tech would allow you, as a single person, to funnel the money from the economy where you want to. You would do more good then tthe other person who is now doing your job and who is just spending and consuming it somehow.

And just to clarify another thing: In tech you are able to go to your boss and work half time and even then you would have more possibilities then in any other job.
