My productivity went 10x when I started doing cocaine. I snort with care and make sure my cocaine is as ethically produced and supplied as possible. With cocaine I can do the menial tasks much quicker, giving me more time to focus on quality. Cocaine also has improved a lot lately. It&#39;s not the same cocaine as just a few months ago. You&#39;re free to not use cocaine, but you&#39;ll be left behind as everyone around you will be using it to be more productive than you. Cocaine is the future. 2026-07-08T16:15:32Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsfx3qz2x2rzustmvmg83qafxx9qmm2vpgtaqdy6u6vfk9fl3rz2kgzyzxfcmatsg3cm0vzvm6nyzdxf9349zezgyss0a2ykgkskvw5zdj974xltau Stop trying to make neutered phones happen.

This is modern computing, there is only Windows. Do you have a chart that says how many Firefox and Chromium users are not using Windows? Linux is just a weird custom thing. Of course Firefox and Chromium only support Windows, what else would they support?

Yes, if you live in the Randstad or any of the big cities outside of it, you&#39;re going to have a great time living without a car. Now let&#39;s go back to when I still lived in the home swamp.<br/><br/>So I lived in a very small town called Warmenhuizen, just north of Alkmaar. Let&#39;s compare my two options for going to university (VU Amsterdam):<br/><br/>1. Hop in my car, drive between 45-60 minutes (depending on traffic, even shorter during holiday weeks/months), park either right in front of campus, or about a 5 minute walk off campus. Done.<br/><br/>2. Take public transit. Walk 5 minutes to the nearest bus stop. Take a 25-35 minute bus ride to Alkmaar central station. Wait 10-20 minutes for the train to Amsterdam Sloterdijk. Sit in the train for 35-45 minutes. Wait 5-15 minutes for the metro at Sloterdijk. Take metro line (50 I think?) to Amsterdam Zuid/WTC for 15-20 minutes. Walk 5-10 minutes to campus.<br/><br/>Classes start at 08:30, bitch.<br/><br/>The above is the reality for millions of Dutch people every single day, and due to budget cuts, it&#39;s probably gotten a lot worse since then. YouTubers gushing over Dutch traffic/public transport paint an incredibly biased and skewed picture because all they really know are the Randstad, and sometimes one of the other major cities, and that&#39;s it. Everything outside of that is treated as a quaint theme park instead of as a place where millions of people live.<br/><br/>I&#39;m basically done with channels like NJB because of this. He&#39;s a great dude and I respect him a lot, but him and people like him are simply not being realistic and truthful about what Dutch traffic/commuting/public transport is actually like. 2026-02-01T20:15:52Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs2p2tluea5m0n0aexvh7z8l3tf7e5rgyt35xzdcxajszs4nnfx8wqzyzxfcmatsg3cm0vzvm6nyzdxf9349zezgyss0a2ykgkskvw5zdj9782kuw9 The Dutch version of the BBC (very simply put) has started consistently stating in every article about Trump that he has a history of lying and saying nonsense. It&#39;s really satisfying.<br/><br/>&#34;President Trump, who often lies, said that...&#34;<br/><br/>It&#39;s a small thing, but it cheers me up. 2026-01-30T19:18:25Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs8xh5eg4v7sgrc3c6ctkpgttt60z4yagdr6rgya95a5rv320gzjvgzyzxfcmatsg3cm0vzvm6nyzdxf9349zezgyss0a2ykgkskvw5zdj97usl5z8 Learning Apache is hard enough as it is.
