Welcome! This is the personal landing page of some of my projects from around the web. I am excited to share this with you as a person and feel like it's important to let the world know what I am doing. I want to also provide a record of some of the learning experiences that I have from these projects so I can be able to appropriately show off what I have done. I feel it is important to keep a record of all things done in the past and all things that could be useful for later.
I do appreciate you coming to my webpage. I hope you find some beneficial things here that can help you with whatever projects that you have going on. And I do hope you come back too!
I also appreciate you sharing this with your family and friends. Every little bit helps!
First off, not giving out a lot of my information due to security concerns. I do need to think about the safety of those in my life and people are willing to do just about anything anymore. There are too many crazy people that are totally unhinged with things. I am not going to jeopardize myself for the sake of building trust.
Second off, I am apart of a country that is getting ready to have elections next month. I think both candidates are a waste of space. I think there will be more to come after next month when we see which one of them have taken the position. I don't want to say too much in case one of them decides to be a royal POS and try to cancel people for speaking their minds. Unfortunately that is the world we live in nowadays. Can't have that.
Jobs are a necessary evil at the moment. It is important to work towards finding a way to either enjoy your job or move to a job that you like. This will make things more bearable during your working years. This might mean college or getting a certification. Trades are also an option if you don't want to gain a lot of debt.
Don't make yourself invaluable in the position otherwise it is harder to get promoted into another role down the road. If you are doing too much, it becomes harder to replace you. It becomes easier for the company to leave you where you are.
I think having a record of everything that you have done is important for a variety of reasons. It makes it easier to keep you from having to stress quite so much about every little thing in life. You can review where you have been over time and see how far you have personally come through the journey of life.
It makes it easier for you to also keep track of the experiences so you can have an easier time putting together a resume for future employers. This can be a track record to see what you have gained to apply for future jobs and things that you can use to help them with determining whether or not you should be hired on. These experiences are very essential for them to see if you would be a good fit.
Around the web
I tend to prefer open source software because it can be analyzed. You can what it is doing behind the scenes if you had a question about it and can not use it if you had serious concerns. You can even take out the parts of code that causes concerns for you.
Open source software can also be just as useful, if not better, than some of their premium versions. And you can save some money long term by using these programs. Supporting them and using them takes away from the software as a subscription and hopefully can bankrupt some of these greedy asshole companies.
Many of the softwares from Microsoft and Apple tend to have a lot of telemetry in them and are not often transparent with everything that they collect. Your data is yours and not theirs to have. You have a right to privacy. You have a right to determine what gets used. Often times these companies DON'T provide you all of the details of the information that is collected and may not fully delete everything from their servers when you request to delete them.
One of the other things is that you cannot see what is going on behind the scenes with these programs. It is nearly impossible to determine if they are collecting more than they are leading on. This will become a bigger issue, hopefully here soon. I hope more people make issues about software companies not being forthcoming with information pertaining to what is going on behind the scenes.
These are some viable open source alternatives that you can use to replace the mainline OSes. They have varying degrees of what hardware they support but they are relatively stable and generally don't collect data without your permission. And any data collection is generally opt-in and not opt-out. That makes it much nicer.
I feel many people don't spend enough time learning new things. Too many are attached to their phones, seeing what the latest TikTok trend is. If people would spend less time on their phones and more time on other things, this can be something that helps you long term. The more you learn, the more you grow as a person.
There are new ways to study these days. You don't just have to stick to the old ways of learning through a textbook or a class. You can use Coursera, Udemy, and other platforms to help yourself learn and gain new skills. These are excellent for branching out to new things. Diversity of learning is essential for helping to diversify how solid things get in the mind.
There are communities to help you to learn more. You can find people interested in helping you to learn more about the things that you are interested in. You can join iTalki or a Discord channel that can help you. There are people that are helpful.
I like to stay pretty busy with things so I don't have much free time. Idle hands are the devil's playground as the old saying might go. Not having much to do can lead a person into doing things that they might later regret and can become something that might be problematic for the well-being and peace of others as well. Not having much to do can also be a sign that you are either too lazy, unmotivated, or undisciplined to find a hobby or to do someting else that can be beneficial.
I often try to keep myself occupied with tasks and opportunities to keep myself from stressing over how things are going. Staying busy with projects and hobbies is a great way to take my mind off of some of the bigger things that are leading up to this year's election in many countries. I also learned that this is imperative to also helping you to relax enough to really think through the major decisions that are going on in life.
It's important to have time to rejuvenate yourself as well. Mental health is important given what is going on these days with society and politics. People are angry over how things are going and feel like the government is not listening to them. Everyone is so stressed out these days and feel like they have no control over their lives at the moment. People are crazy these days.
