Lol, this post has everything, even Sherlock holmes fan fiction.

Anyone contributing to open source either does it:

• on their companies dime, which means they work for a rare company building open source solutions
• at the end of their day, on their weekend, or during their vacation

Most FOSS devs are in position two. By a large margin. They could be relaxing, or earning more money doing freelancing to make ends meet, but instead they are trying to build something they want to see happen. That requires focusing on the important tasks and that often means not having time to spend on poorly reported bugs that are actually users just not RTFM and opening issues. It wastes the devs time, and projects with too much of this have development stagnate and are frequently shuttered.

And devs that just do this to get a better job stop contributions once their new job takes over their life, and then the project suffers.

Users need to appreciate FOSS devs more because some of the most important projects we need in 2025 are developed only because they want to see them happen.

No pensions, just an RRSP, and these assholes who did away with pensions keep manipulating the market in their favour.

Took me 30 years to barely get into a house before interest rates skyrocketed, and now the ai crash will likely take that from me.

Ill be working till I die, and at this point Ill likely be dead before retirement from stress, war, or both.

And the fun all started when I graduated directly into the dotcom crash.

And then you added 1, right?

…right?

Correct.

This is me, though I figured out a while ago it’s better if I just ignore Daylight Savings.

My inner clock doesn’t “switch”. There’s no change. There’s just half the year where I’m up an hour earlier and forcing myself to bed earlier and it completely fucks my energy cycle.

ROTFLMFAO

Inflation has made the hospitality industry mad run from 2000-2020 die and it will go back to what it was in the 80s and 90s when people had less money like they do now. It was a good run but unless you have a middle class with money to spend, no one can afford to support so many restaurants.

Religion will become popular again and people still start falling for nonsense like ghosts and superstitions. People born after the 80s don’t really remember just how batshit crazy people went for misinformation before we had the internet.

We need a new internet without corporate bullshit and some integrity in terms of knowledge. But seeing what happened to the current one, I don’t think that will be possible until we kill capitalism.

The modding momentum is picking up quite a bit and as a game engine its far better than Minecraft.

AI is opening so many security HOLES. Its not solving shit. AI browsers and MCP connectors are wild west security nightmares. And that’s before you even trust any code these things write.

Oil, most likely.

I mean, in the case of changing values of currency, physical money isn’t changing anything there. As a Canadian forced to buy many things in USD I am constantly suffering from exchange rate changes which is similar. Money retains the same value in country though unless something goes really wrong at the bank of Canada. This is riskier because of trade and how interdependent nations are today.

I’m not a financial expert here, so some of the things you hit on in your reply I am not familiar with. I’ve never used GICs. RRSPs however can be invested, or sit in cash non-invested. Its the same account type either way.

Some, like BMO Investorline, will charge for it to sit in cash (Investorline charges you $100/month) - BMO Smartfolio won’t let you put things in cash, they say they aren’t setup for that.

I ended up moving my RRSP to an RRSP with my credit union. Its getting moved to an RRSP but it will sit in cash hold, uninvested, until such time as I am ready to put it back into the market. I did this before the 2020 dip as well. You can avoid the bubble popping this way. It doesn’t need to stay on the market.

In Canada at least you can have the funds pulled from the market and put in cash hold until you are comfortable with the market for RRSP/RESP.

Some banks will try to tell you you cannot do this or will charge you $100/month to keep it in cash. If they do, go to another institution and get it moved there. Many credit unions offer the same accounts with zero charges for holding cash.

In my experience, it’s rare in North America for the bathroom or any rooms door to open outward, unless it’s a closet. Most houses are designed with a straight, narrow, central hallway. Any door opening out presents a risk to anyone walking down the hallway, so closets are the exception. Bathrooms usually open out if they are too small to open inward.

However, never have I seen one designed like this. Doors usually are in a spot where nothing can obstruct them, and they are off to the side or end of a room where drawers and people using the room are unlikely to be near, so the likelyhood of a person blocking the door is low, much less a drawer built into the cabinet. This looks like one of those designs where an original two storey house was cut into two units by a do-it-yourselfer that didn’t care about the result because they wouldn’t be the one living in their disaster.
