How do you deal with hyperfixations taking over your life?
Since when I was a kid and poor and had a random interest in topic X and asked my mom to go and spend some money to invest into that X only for me to be forever regretful and feel bad to see it all rot away sitting quiet in a corner whithout me touching it ever again... I just learned to never pick anything up in the real world and just sit looking at tv waiting for said will to dissapear. Simple.
Another way is to over focus on everything tech related that is contained to the internet or specific things that can provide endless hours and days of random deep diving on all kinds of weird things... For free, without ever having to spend a dimme.
On the job I try to sell myself into doing things that I can focus for a few days to learn about some random thing. But then when it's over it's freaking hard to start anything else for almost 2 days.

I've seen the word thrown around a lot in a few places and had to spend sometime searching wtf it was. I still don't really understand but the wikipedia is a good place to start.
Seems like somekind of Minecraft on steroids or something. Never really played that one either.

Running Plasma instead of Gnome for the first time in years
Plasma is so good nowadays compared to some years ago. I remember suffering a lot in those early times too.

Probably the shittiest part of my job :(
Well, my colleagues all knew in the day I was laid off in the morning before me. I only knew about it after it being announced in the afternoon because it was a day off for me. It was fun. People coming to say goodbye and me having no idea what they were talking.

Still waiting to see how all the guns are saving that country from fascism. That was the premise they kept arguing all the time.

Infrastructure will always be used by evil and good. If it exists. Just like a road. Normal people use them as well as murderers.
If a good encryption chat software exists it will be used. It's necessary for normal privacy and sensitive topics between people but those ones will also use it. Nothing to do about it.

And they are all getting dependent and addicted to something that is currently almost "free" but the monetization of it all will soon come in force. Good luck having the money to keep paying for it or the capacity to handle all the advertisement it will soon start to push out. I guess the main strategy is manipulate people into getting experience with it with these 2 or 3 years basically being equivalent to a free trial and ensuring people will demand access to the tools from their employees which will pay from their pockets. When barely anyone is able to get their employers to pay for things like IDEs... Oh well.
