2·17 minutes agoI used https://kiwix.org/en/ to download wikipedia originally.
Then I saw in the desktop app that you can download a lot more “wikis” other than wikipedia. This is their library. https://library.kiwix.org/#lang=eng
https://library.kiwix.org/viewer#ifixit_en_all_2024-12/home/home
It includes computers, phones, game consoles, appliances, vehicles, tools, even medical devices and apparel.
Okay this is so fucking cool.
I heard that anonymous is taking credit for the ddos attack today.
If so, fucking finally!
I always had issues with chromecast. And I haven’t used one in 5+ years. I assumed they were better by now?
ifixit is such a wonderful company. I downloaded all their repair manuals so I should be able to repair ‘anything’. And it does seem to be everything.
I love that they are still adding more resources for the general public. An actual ethical company imo. But please let me know if there is some controversy I am not aware of.
Probably should get a dedicated ERP system, mainly to just have official support.
But anybody in finance (like me) knows that everybody from low level accounting assistants, to CBOs use excel daily, even if they have an ERP system. For instance, the one I am using is complete shit with outrageous inexcusable ‘features’ (can’t even describe them because they sound made up). So we all just export data to excel so we can format the reports/data into an actual useful format.
No, they really just don’t want to learn. I promise people would rather be okay with their current situation (even if its shitty) as long as they don’t have to learn. Because a lot of people decided that once they were done with high school/college, that there was no need to learn anymore. And now its hard for them to learn
If they do choose to learn, its because they want to. But if they don’t want to learn, they simply wont. It really is simple.
My God. Is that seriously how he dresses himself? How am I supposed to take him seriously? This is what cringe middle schoolers thought was cool when I was in school.
No need to be rude man. You also described the same person as unwilling to learn something. And I didn’t say that person wanted to learn or not, I generalized and said people don’t want to learn.
I believe we are both trying to say the same thing with different emphasis.
You are emphasizing that people do like to learn, but there are external forces that encourage/convince them not to.
I am emphasizing that people don’t like to learn, unless they want to overcome the external forces. I just don’t buy the excuse of external factors stopping people from learning, that’s part of the learning process.
Your example talks about a person building a pc. Yes it takes time, energy, money, and learning. But it also has A TON of resources to help with that on the internet, definitely makes it easier. It is now a famously recommended project for anybody, even kids. It was also something that is ‘new’ to them, I assume.
Typing this out made me realize a distinction I failed to bring up. People do like to learn, but people HATE to UN-learn ideas. The person in your example wanted to learn something new, but did not want to unlearn the iphone walled garden.
