  • Yes, it’s a weird one. We got used to the fact that everything is pretty much free on the internet. Unfortunately, nothing is free, we either pay with out personal data, watching and interacting with ads or through subscriptions and paywals.

    There is just no incentive for people to provide good content on the internet unless they have other means of sustaining themselves or they charge for it.

    For instance, there is so much free stuff thanks to developers making their hard work open source. However, they are only able to do it because even if they are not getting payed for this, either they have a job that pays for other work they do or they have access to other means of financial support like family for instance. And I am not saying that much of open source (not all) is not essentially people giving away their hard work for free but I am saying that if the choice was to make some program for free and go hungry or charge for it and have a meal then we all know what it would look like.


  • I promise that I don’t complain when it’s not as warm and overcast. Yes, a lot of rain it’s not great especially in the winter.

    I wanted to say that before I say that I hate the summer in UK. Why? Here are the reasons:

    1. I have a really bad hayfever. That means often choosing between baking at my home or opening the windows and blowing my brains out through my nose due to the allergy.

    2. Very few places have air-con. Especially homes, meaning it’s really hot and not much can be done about it. Also, when at work, it’s annoying when it’s so hot. It’s nice when you are at the beach but this brings me to the next point.

    3. The weather is unreliable. It can be hot as fuck the whole week and then when you go to the beach it’s cold and windy.
