  • Eh… it’s not that we’re trying to create meaning in the face of the absurd. The absurd is is the condition arising from the contrast between a human need for order and meaning on one side, and a lack of order and meaning (or lack of ability to grasp the order and meaning) on the other… and it’s this absurdity that defines the human condition. And we should embrace it.

    Honestly someone who spends their whole life searching for a universal morality could very well be embracing absurdism as well.

    I also feel that the positivity surrounding absurdity comes from the fact that the absurd is the struggle (roughly between a desire and search for order and meaning) and the struggle is the human condition. And once you think about the struggle-not as something to overcome or win-but as the basic defining characteristic of humanity… you start to view the whole thing positively.


  • Kinda, but also the core of the absurdity is the contrast between the human need for meaning and order - and the inherent inability to find and create it ultimately. And as an added flavor, this absurdity is the main definition of the human condition. It’s not exactly enjoying pseudo-meanings. It’s enjoying the absurdity.

    Recommend: the myth of sisyphus by camus. I believe you can find a full pdf of it online on some university website or another.




  • Speaking as someone who has gone through several of them from several brands… All the robot vacuums are scams anyway.

    The batteries wear out quickly. They are consumable parts not covered by warranty.

    The brushes wear out quickly. Also consumable parts not covered by warranty.

    The filters eventually become clogged and render the device unusable without replacement. Also consumable and not covered by warranty.

    And honestly I would be willing to put up with all of the above if they did a good job vacuuming, but they don’t and won’t.




  • I’ve had several brands. I’m sure none were privacy respecting. But beyond that they’re all crap. They all break down and end up requiring near constant maintenance. They also don’t do a very good job of vacuuming.

    Better off getting a half decent vacuum (extra points if it uses bags because… Bagless is fucking stupid) and for little clean up jobs get a manual sweeper like some restaurants use.






  • I see you’ve more or less chosen proton.

    Came here to say that I have been using tutanota for years now and it works very well.

    It does fit the use case of encrypted emails to people who don’t use tutanota. How it works is they will receive an unencrypted email letting them know they have an encrypted email waiting for them, along with a secure link to an https encrypted, password protected web interface with inbox and outbox.

    Just wanted to point this out for anyone else evaluating privacy focused email providers.
