Why is he so hated here? Twitter model is one thing that is kinda fit for global-open-decentralized approaches without much difference for the user. I could never use it, but plenty of people do and seem to have a feeling of hivemind over it.

Because the replacement comes from non-graybeards in FOSS, and their replacement from without-beards in FOSS, and they come from youths in FOSS, and they from teens geeking around with computers, and oops - teens are not geeking around with computers, they are watching reels and scrolling recommendations and doing other bullshit. If they have a PC, it’s an unloved work tool for them, with crappy bloated Windows, crappy bloated software for work and studies, not always crappy, but bloated games, you get the idea.

Because there was a generation very fertile on geeks. It’s going away. There are demographic pits and there are demographic, what they call them, hills? The point is, we are seeing the effects of the latter.

with the only difference of be paided less then them.

Try rice fields.

I don’t want to be like this. I want my life to be more then this. I want to go out explore and change the world.

Everyone does, just don’t overthink it and do what you want now, then maybe you’ll have something to remember when you turn 81.

Welcome to the 2020s, welcome to late stage captalism.

First world problems. Try year 1630 AD.

but not one of us could have imagined the entire generation having a mid-life crisis at the age of 18.

It’s not a mid-life crisis, it’s the typical teenage trap of thinking you’ve reached that and are now wise sensei in a wrong body. Actually feels like something a 15yo me could have written, not 18yo.

It’s more dangerous than you think. When you really have a mid-life crisis, it’ll just be. You won’t think about it this way.

Don’t allow those thoughts to prevent you from getting out, touching grass, learning all you can about all the wonders in the world you can find.

Also don’t wait those 3 months to consider yourself an adult.

And, quoting Al Pachino’s character, when in doubt - fuck.
