derReineke··on Stardew Valley and real-life labour (2017)
A lot of places in the US it's becoming more common to be able to make a living on a small-scale farm. Especially if you live near (hour) of a larger city. You can sell a lot of produce to restaurants that want local ingredients. I don't know if it's respected, but it's not looked down upon.

Also, apparently in the last ten years or so American farming has become small-scale by a vast majority. I think it's about 90% are 3 acres or less?

derReineke··on An Epidemic of Loneliness in America?
I enjoyed the women from Chicago's point. That having that old-time gym feeling is not something that's the best for most people. It's one of those silly ideas that tries to sum up a big problem and give it a small fix. I remember a friend showed me something their aunt or something posted about dirt roads. It was a similar idea to the gym thing. It's absurd.
derReineke··on Show HN: Edabit – Like Duolingo for Learning to Code
So far what I gathered from the comments:

* Not the most secure * A fork of code wars. * Has random photos for testimonials. * W3schools links. *How is it like Duolingo at all?

derReineke··on Surgery students 'losing dexterity to stitch patients'
... That would explain why I have a degree in German actually.

I would also like to point out that this guy's name is "Kneebone". Sounds fake, but okay.
derReineke··on Kids’ Apps Are Crammed With Ads
I feel like whoever wrote this doesn't have kids or just now started paying attention to what they are doing on their devices. Also, this seems like it would be really obvious; people want money. Kids love to just click everything so there is a ton of revenue there.
derReineke··on Pharo: An immersive programming experience
Oh I see! That would be pretty neat, actually. Is looking up documentation a common feature in IDEs? I've never seen it before.
derReineke··on Pharo: An immersive programming experience
Serious question though, what is immersion in the programming context? Is it being only in the programming environment and not leaving? Wouldn't using a web browser for documentation or stack overflow be a break in it? Why not just have the windows one needs and configure your ide to be how you like?
derReineke··on Pharo: An immersive programming experience
I swear to God if Aragon takes over Castille while I'm programming my immersion will be ruined! Needs to be 100% historically accurate!
derReineke··on A Billionaire Pledges to Fight High Drug Prices, and the Industry Is Rattled
Much rattled very startle. You'll also be AMAZED what doctors are saying about this new diet thing!
derReineke··on Why I’m Worried About Google
As soon as I can find a decent, stable job I'm going to start degoogling more of my life. Unfortunately, I have a Pixel 2 and a Pixelbook (unfortunately because Google, otherwise they're great), and I don't have the money to replace them right now. I do use Firefox and DDG on my desktop though. I really like them.
derReineke··on Centralized Wins. Decentralized Loses
I'm sorry you're about to have a big death event. I just saw an article posted on here about it. I feel bad for the fishies.
derReineke··on What the f*** is the edge?
I too enjoy thick butts.
derReineke··on Google warns Android might not remain free because of EU decision
Kay. I don't really see any issues here. They got a legitimate fine and now they might charge licensing. Maybe this will help open up the market a little.
derReineke··on Living with a best-selling Indian phone for 10 days
The author just can't seem to understand the concept that these phones are an upgrade for most Indian users. He mentions it multiple times as if he complained about it to literally everyone he interviewed.
derReineke··on Meet the Numtots: the millennials who find fixing public transit sexy
This is beautiful.
derReineke··on Revisting Neuromancer After Three Decades
The only issue I have with the artwork is that I'm pretty sure Molly is black in the books.
derReineke··on Shutting Down Forum (GDPR)
I just don't see the EU giving fines to American small businesses. What kind of money could they expect to get out of them? I'm curious though, what EU countries do you think are so desperate for money that they would basically extort American small businesses?
derReineke··on Shutting Down Forum (GDPR)
I'm not really sure why you think this. So, the EU should just let companies steal and sell their citizen's information? I mean, IIRC companies can have separate privacy policies for non-EU users. Also, you have a very narrow view of how information is "given" and collected. Literally using the internet is "giving away" your data. Should I go live in a cabin in a remote location surrounded by a Faraday Cage/Lead walls/magic invisible shield?
derReineke··on Shutting Down Forum (GDPR)
Yeah from what I have heard the main reason for this law is to stop obvious abuses to people's privacy. It seems that most overreactions are due to ignorance of the system behind the law or to make some kind of political statement.
derReineke··on Are Atheists Genetic Mutants-A Product of Recent Evolution?
Is this, like, a fundementalist Christian, click-bait, Facebook article?
