Where the Problem Lies
If there’s one thing this blog isn’t trying to be, it’s strictly political. I say strictly because everything is political , sorry. But my God, the present makes it so damn hard to avoid pure politics. From north to south, from east to west, it feels like no one has made a single good decision in at least ten years. And not just in the public sphere, but in the world of major private corporations too. And as if that weren’t enough, as if this whole situation rotting from the inside out weren’t enough to bring down even the staunchest stoic, now we have LLMs speeding up this entire tangled mess of systemic horrors at the speed of sound. And it’s only going to get worse.
Where does the problem lie? I'm not sure. All I know is that it’s systemic, not isolated, and therefore basically impossible to solve. Maybe it’s just human nature. Too negative? I don’t know. Make of that what you will.
What Can We Do?
Nothing. Well, I mean in general, or at least not much. You can do something for yourself and for the people close to you. What exactly? That’s for each person to figure out. My idea of an ideal healthy lifestyle isn’t the same as yours. One thing that is a good idea, though, is stepping away from social media a little. Twitter in particular is a sewer. Stay away.
Okay, What’s the Point?
Among other things, this blog is what I’m going to use to let out some of the built-up frustration all these issues have left me with. Think of this as an introduction. Well, actually, I still haven’t properly introduced myself. You can call me Vaithre. I’m from Argentina, I’m a programmer, and I like computers. I’m interested in architecture and video games, and I enjoy gardening. I started with Windows XP, moved on to 7, and then to 8.1, which I thought was awful, but I liked its sounds so much that I still use them on my current system. I moved on to Windows 10, then 11, and then Linux. Fedora with KDE, to be exact. I had actually been tinkering with Linux since the Windows 7 days, but Nvidia’s Linux drivers on Wayland became stable enough for me around the time Windows 11 came out. And thank God for that, because shortly afterward, the 1000 series was marked as LTS.
Anyway. Feel free to contact me anytime, about anything. And I’ve listed my projects above, in case you want to check them out.
