  • It’s a very personal decision and I’m glad about every human that’s not born on this crowded planet. But collectively not having children feels pretty bleak to me. Are we as a species already giving up, rolling on our backs and wait to go extinct? Come on! There is so much beauty and so much to do in this world.
    My children are having a great time, they bring joy, purpose and chaos to my life. I love having them around, even though their future scares me. That has always been part of becoming a parent.
    I feel like some doomer lemmings need to go outside a little more, instead of telling themselves and their screens how awful everything is. Life was brutal a century ago.







  • I was a huge Windows-fanboy for +20 years. Then I slowly started getting familiar with Linux Mint. Since a couple of years we have no more Windows in our house.
    I used to fix computer problems for people a lot, for fun. Last week, I booted a Windows 11 laptop to help a friend and I was put off by EVERYTHING. The nagging popups, ads, the dubious ad-riddled webpages I have to visit to download apps. It’s all crazy evil. And still people bullshit-bingo me that “Linux is so complicated, you need to learn so much” while constantly fighting off predatory shit from soulless corporations. They don’t even know what using a computer that works for you means anymore.
