For getting a grip in current web development, I would recommend fullstackopen.com - it’s a free online course by the University of Helsinki and starts from basically zero, and gives you a lot of insights into web dev.
It may take some time, but it’s really worth it and an overall great course.
Shit. So a quick search says a brain weighs 1.5kg and 0.5% is 7.5g. A credit card weighs about 5g. We have more plastic in our brains than there is in a card?
The article mentions that the quantity in 2024 was 50% higher than in 2016 - which is a high increase for just 8 years. This development probably doesn’t slow down, it may even get faster. How much plastic will be in our brains in another 8 years?
Shit.
Wir sind ja wirklich viele!
Och nö
bullshit
Story: I was on a bus once, another passenger was a guy with a big McD Coke. We got off at the same station. Here, each station has a trash can.
So this guy walks right by the trash can and drops his fucking coke right next to it. He could have extended his arm like 10 cm more, and the coke would have gone into the trash can. But he chose to drop it on the floor.
This was years ago, and I think this day broke my faith in humanity a little.
Don’t buy things then.
I see this as minimalism, there is no need to own loads of stuff.
If I don’t buy useless stuff, there is less useless stuff that needs to be produced, and I have less useless stuff to take care off.
But what I really hate is when I buy some not-that-useless stuff that I actually need, and then there’s some “free merchandise” or “goodies”, which usually are just some cheap branded advertising items. And now I am forced to acknowledge the existence of this crap and have to throw it away. So this random crap was produced, packaged and shipped to me, just to end up in the trash and cause some minor annoyance.
And there is a fucking lot of random crap that ends up this way.
