i think people tend to mean much worse "than before".
for example, i have seen videos of ms word and ms visual studio, on old pentium, load instantly with a splashscreen flashing by. i was truly impressed indeed.
You needed a pretty hefty machine at the time for the splashscreen to flash by.
For example, Word 6 on my 386DX with 4 MB RAM took some time to launch and I had ample time to admire the art that went into the splashscreen. On 486DX with 16 MB RAM, it did flash by.
not just cruises. nor just leisure and touristic activities either. tons of jobs have similar working conditions. and tbh, i am not sure avoiding or banning these activities is the solution.
i mean, we are not throwing our smartphones away yet, are we?
I get the impression commercial air travel isn't that bad, but it's not great. Cruse ships get away with it by using workers from developing countries. Airlines pitch it as "travel the world" and a lifestyle, so there are a lot of people who want the job. It's like software in the video game industry.
well there was that new york time podcast on child abuse and how the internet made things exponentially worse... that was quite a big moment for me about being able to remove online data.
yes, we need to be able to erase stuff from the internet.
I would add that verbatim text is sometimes hard to read because it doesn't wrap long lines and small screens require the reader to scroll horizontally so try not to use it for large/wide blocks of text.
Also bullet lists are usually written as separate, ordinary paragraphs for each item with an asterisk or dash as the paragraphs first character.
intermittent fasting has indeed put me in more relaxed, calculating, and calm states. it's like your body forces you to think about every action you take so you don't waste the little energy you have.
but that was then. my body has since adjusted to them and now i have to fast longer to reach these mental states.
difficult because i now have hobbies (playing instruments) that prevent me from doing so.
in college i had all my math and physics definitions and formulas in anki cards. man... i lost all that stuff!
