biking to and from the work if possible (~2hr per day), easiest way to stay in shape and not wasting your time

I have an 0.1x example, every os is using a file explorer instead of orthodox file manager like "total commander"

dito, don't we have enough producers of cloths, they are even customizable. and not only cloths, do we need 10+ car manufacturers? millions brands of beverages, beers, etc.

total commander .. orthodox file manager, I dont understand why this is not a built-in file manager for any os. I just want to find and organize stuff, I dont want to manage windows.

Best 40EUR* I've ever spent (* actual price might be different now). It has everything you might want in a file manager (advanced search, integrated archive management, diff, multi rename tool, multiple tabs, FTP client, customizable UI and many more features). If you need additional functionality there's even huge plugin library.

Been using it from Windows 98 as a "trial" version, so during all those years saved hours count is immeasurable. Sadly, there's no decent alternative on Linux. Krusader looks functionally almost on par, but there's something about UI and lack of integrated tools (it uses external programs for some functionality) is throwing me off.

For terminal there are ranger (pyton) and lf (go) which i prefer over mc

+1 for ranger for me

A tons of features including multitabs, directory/file compare, auto zip, built-in ftp connections and plugins, for everything.

yes, that is why the majority don't want to do it

if you don't have a stable political, judical and economical system how can you have a highly educated population?

A lot of folks in third world nations focus on academics to escape corrupt and dysfunctional governments. Also working hard at academics ensures you have a better chance of getting a job and providing for yourself somehow. There is no social support as a safety line.

The first time I heard about a concept called "unemployment insurance", I was utterly flabbergasted! I thought it was a joke!

You do the rich-kids homework, duh.

They don't. That's just one of the things Westerners like to say about poor countries.

seems like someone is on a booktour

I deleted all my other social media accounts (except for strava and youtube), I stay here for a while. Much healthier community.

or any Mass surveillance state like North Korea, China, Stalin-era Soviet Union, DDR (East Germany)

they had limited resources but high enough punishment to keep the population in check

The DDR spent considerable resources on internal security.

The Stasi museum in Berlin is well worth a visit. After the Helsinki agreement to limit physical abuse, prisoners were subjected to psychological isolation instead.

Some Stasi jailers wrote academical treastises on how to handle enemies of the state.

the killer VR-app for me was racing simulation but it is a very niche market. and way too expensive for most people

VR-Goggles, high-end PC, good steering wheel (G27 at minimum) racing seat, ... and ideally dedicated room for the setup

it was great fun (did it for 2 years) but got rid of it because it consumed too many hours
