One example I can think of was the Play framework.

If you wanted to work with Scala 3 and Play 2.7, you couldn't. You needed to stick with Scala 2.13 to be able to use Play 2.7.

This was more than a year ago. Now we have Play 2.8. Is it compatible with Scala 3 now?

Edit:

I am not entirely sure whether it was possible to make Scala 3 and Play 2.7 work. So my statement above might be partially wrong.

However, I had other dependencies too, which required me to use Scala 2.13.

Consider to downvote this, if you think I made a false statement. I should have looked up the documentation beforehand and not rely on my (past) personal experience/impression at all.

Bad mistake!

Thank you very much for your input.

> It doesn't mean not having any relationships but just because you're family doesn't mean you have to be constantly present in each other's lives.

You have a point, for sure. I can imagine being this the case for people who can socialize well.

Say you have only 2 options between living in a dysfunctional family environment and living completely by yourself with no friends, what then?

It appears that solitary confinement, damages your brain[1]. I wonder if that applies to social isolation as well.

It seems to be the case in prisons that you need to be around rapists and murderers to keep your brain somewhat engaged. (If you don't have any other option.)

So maybe it is wrong to equate solitary confinement as "loneliness". Solitary confinement is much more taxing, I imagine. However, I think it is better to be around people in a physical sense. (Even if that means living with some unpleasant circumstances.)

Gabor Mate implies that modern society is sick, and therefore we get sick. But it is the only society we have, I suppose. So it might be better than nothing.

I am not disagreeing with you at all here. I can see your point. Nevertheless, I just wanted to bring up the case where people have social difficulties and if the family stress is somewhat manageable, then maybe it is better to be around them. And also keep in mind that I have no clue if the prison context is applicable to "free individuals".

Yep, for me, it is banking.

N26 (Europe) requires you to have a smartphone and a SIM card. Obtaining a SIM card means that you need to identify yourself.

You can't just have a smartphone. The OS needs to be unrooted and also mainstream (iOS/Android).

This really sucks.

Furthermore, Google and Discord lock your accounts, if you don't provide a phone number.

The alternative might be to use an Android/iOS just for banking. Another Android/iOS for services such as Google (Play store).

And a Librem or any other open source phone as your daily driver. Or, just live with a "dumb phone" or no additional phone. I am not sure about the SIM card. Is it even possible within the EU to buy one without identification?

I would like to use a Google-free phone. However, online banking apps (e.g., N26) require you to have a mainstream phone (Android/iOS). You can't have root access, since apparently those banking apps won't work then. You need to have a SIM card as well, and you need to identify yourself when purchasing one. I really hate all that. At this point, I dream to live without smart technology as much as possible. Living mostly with "dumb tech". "Smart" ain't smart for us, it seems, it is for the benefit of those companies (e.g. Samsung TV's). More control, I suppose. Can you install uBlock Origin on a Samsung TV?

Furthermore, Samsung phones come with bloat, and you can't even remove them easily.

I might also have used the wrong terminology here. (English isn't my native language.)

However, I know for sure that in Germany, it isn't that easy to hire and fire people on a whim. In the US this seems to be the case.

Just in case, let me also clarify this:

I don't care, if you think the American system is better than the German one. I simply made the statement that even if not all EU countries have rulings like Germany, it is surely harder to fire people on a whim.

And also the article didn't mention where this will occur.

My mistake was to assume such rules in other EU countries.

In Germany, there is a thing called "Kündigungsschutz"[1].

I am not sure about Ireland, but I assumed there are similar rulings.

So at least in Germany, it is not that easy, but possible.

I made a mistake here. I no longer stand fully by that statement. For details, consider my later reply.

Original text:

It is. The article does not say where this will occur.

They cannot lay off people from the EU like that. It's not that easy. Unlike the US, EU countries are welfare states.

How about ancient Greek philosophies (e.g., Aristotle, stoicism)?

- Geometry (Euclidean Geometry)

- Algebra (Linear Algebra)

- Calculus & Analysis

- Physics

Many university curricula include linear algebra and vector calculus. Physics is mandatory for all engineering disciplines.

Therefore, my suggestion would be to preserve the language of our universe and abstract thinking patterns (i.e. mathematics) and the rules of our universe (i.e., physics).

Those 2 are the absolute minimum, I would say, to rebuild modern civilization from scratch.
