I can replaces search, i use DDG as default, I have simple shortcut to google.

But I use gmail, google docs, Android with many google integrations. I could find alternatives, but really not as good. And mostly it would be just another company, where I'm not sure I can trust either.

Local and self-hosted options are just really not good enough. For example in MS Excel, I can't load actual currency tickers, or share it simply.

I also use Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter. If I don't I'll just have no voice.

I have my own web, but nobody goes there.

Open Internet is gone for me.

It's feudalism, because you don't have a choice.

You can get easily insulted for proper choices. Homophobic comments on cycling and veganism are common. I rather believe that we are doomed - that we will destroy nature sufficiently for it to stop producing enough food to sustain us as species - than that we will change.

Also known as "complicating your life significantly for little benefit".

Your heat pump just does not have sufficient capacity. It's not problem of heat pump per se.

We have saying in Czechia along the lines "he is dissatisfied because he has it too good".

I've had friend of a friend like this who ended up in suicide, because he was unable to replicate his success in big company.

I wish him luck regardless.

From my point of view, they have just great integration together, but but nothing really forces you to use them. Original post sounded like you are being forced into it.

Windows 10 comes with crap even in Pro version these days (Candy Crush etc.), so it was just because nobody cared enough to create that crap for Windows Phone.

I use Dynalist for everything these days - inbox, task, planning, notes, long-term storage of important information. So much, that I'm actually worried that I do not have full control over my data (I have backups at least, which is nice).

Or you can just setup google container manually, it's not so much work in Firefox.

Don't forget environment. But they leave very nice government debt behind, so millenials have something to solve after they pay out their student ones and pay boomers pensions.

That is just not realistic for most people. Maybe big corps can make that, but even basic things seems to download hundreds of megabytes of dependencies and I could just read for months before I would even start to develop.

I for sure miss old times when I got .Net framework, maybe some library from 1 or 2 3rd party vendors and I had all I needed for development.

Yet even European lifestyle is anything but sustainable base on IPCC report.

Those top 10%, that's all of us. I would not want to live like bottom 50% really.

It has great stigma since WWII for obvious reasons (desirables vs non-desirables). But I agree. I always wonder why we are trying to revert decline of amount of people in Europe, where in many countries we would have famine just if food import would stop. That does not look like good long-term solution.

But we are just putting plasters on economy by trying to increase human population, because more people means higher GDP, more workers and having ability to pay for debt and future liabilities such as pensions.

Worst of all, if we do not act (and by acting I mean having less kids, not killing anyone), population decrease will likely come in other, more violent ways (wars for resources, famine and disease).

Except the amount it's falling is not normal.

It's interesting. Where I live, I was thinking about vice versa situation. We have good developers who are paid quite bad salaries. I'd love to make company that can bring good projects and pay good salaries. But I'm not good entrepreneur, so it will likely remain a dream.

No, you mostly aim at center of mass. Hitting someone with a gun is not easy even at short distances (stress, movement), so generally (and what is taught in shooting schools) is aiming at center of mass.

Well, my 3 weeks of food were not aimed at this "End of world as we know it" scenario and original question was not aimed at one. Just at being better prepared than average.

Guns really are also not "get and forget" kind of think. They can help or get you killed.

They might get you killed by mismanaging them (basically you shoot yourself by accident), by making you overconfident and not escaping in time, by making you a target "to get your guns", by making you suspicious (imagine checkpoints in now occupied parts of Ukraine) and getting killed in interrogation.

Guns are not all advantages in real world situation.

I did, because I don't own one and focusing on guns discourages people from preparing even for basic service disruption.

Focusing on guns just make it look like prepping is just for "gun-nuts" (as much as I don't share that opinion).

I still believe that this is 90% of "preppers". They study it for a week, make some arrangements an then just let it go. Revisit those arrangements once a year or so and you are golden.

Generally you aim at basics.

* About 3 weeks worth of food (2000 kcal/person/day)

* Week of water (gallon/person/day), some basic water filtration (Sawyer squeeze)

* Some preps may be more in line with local climate (backup heating for cold environments)

* Evacuation bags are very common and are also known as BOBs (but most are garbage with lots of guns and no water). Still good to make some with copies of important documents, some water and spare clothes. Just get your old spare bag and unused clothes, no need to overthink it.

* Think about having more first aid material and skills

* Hygiene can be pain once your toilet does not flush anymore and you can't wash your hands, make some arrangements for that too (ie. bucket and plastic bags are way better than nothing)

* I'd also consider tools, such as headlamp per person, other depends on location and needs. Axe can be useful even in city in case of earthquake. Fixed blade knife is probably most versatile tool and Morakniv companion for 15 USD is usually sufficient. But I would suggest some practice here too, you don't want to get cut during temporary service disruption.

Good luck. As German governmental pamphlet states "Germany is ready, when every German is ready". Replace with your own country :).

If you compare Prague prices to local salaries, they are crazy inflated. But if you compare it to other european capitals, it's not so bad. I don't think that prices will collapse any time soon.

Sounds nice, but I would just sweat for another 30 minutes and look all kinds of unpleasant. But good for you if you could pull it off.

I have recently created single CLI program to put in all actions I need to automate. It's so fast to make new action, that I make anything that saves me just few seconds a day. Even stuff like "invoice" will open me timescheduling app, invoicing app and creates canned email to clipboard. "Clockout" will open timescheduling app and copy expected date and times to clipboard just to paste to app.

I've of course spent some time on automating Help, flags parsing etc, so I essentially just say what data I need and then what to perform.

It was best idea in a long time. I'm thinking that I'll publish framework for this as opensource (it's C# project).

Problem of this is that you generally need to work with other people and most productive way is to work at same hours.

To me razor seems great, but I can only compare it with quite horrible HUGO templating.

Could you expand on your climate action platform? I'm very interested in the idea.

I did this to my bank. They called me, I told them that I'll not talk to them as I can't identify them and that I'll call them back in standard number. Bank was really not prepared for this. They blocked my card (call was about suspicious transaction that was ok) and the transaction. I called to unblock transaction, but card remained blocked. So I had to call again.

It all took precious time, they really should anticipate this more.

And those will be sold to evil corp later on or will do subcontractors for them. I do not see any escape.
