Signal's "Note to Self".

Few decades ago Marvin the Paranoid Android (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) has already been constructed by my human-like parents and is reporting this utmost depressive fact here.

While I find the tax completely fair, I'm affraid it boils down to the upcoming elections. This is one of many socialistic and populistic acts announced recently by the Polish government.

1. Marvin (The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy)
2. K9 Mark III (Dr Who)
3. 11-45-G (Love, Death & Robots)
4. P-5000 Power Loader (Alien) -- not a robot per se
5. IG-11 and K2SO (Star Wars) -- couldn't decide which one I prefer :)

Cloud Atlas (2012)
Cube (1997)
The Fountain (2006)

Primer is one the better mind-fucking sci-fi movies.

SublimeText + SublimeMerge (for git). My perfect pair, I'm using for years. I've tried Emacs, vim, Neovim, helix and I always return to ST/SM with a sigh of relief.

Pocketbook Lux 5. Great piece of gear, with physical buttons and normal, non-touch screen. Also, comes from a small European company, instead of Amazon.
I manage my collection of ebooks using Calibre - great software.

I'm just finishing "The Zombie Survival Guide" by Max Brooks. It is a satirical survival manual - great fun and lots of highly practical hints.

The movie Men Behind the Sun depicts the war atrocities committed in the Unit 731.

It's not creepy. It's cruel.

Star Trek, both the old and new ones
Battlestar Galactica

Nineteen Eighty-Four (1984)

rsync (laptop -> external HDD, workstation -> dedicated backup HDD)
Syncthing (laptop <-> desktop)

Without a doubt, Doctor Who.

Title: No Way Down: Life and Death on K2
Author(s): Graham Bowley
Genre: Documentary
I've just started, it's to early to decide whether I like and recommend it.

Linux Mint

I hope they follow the data. And that more countries, at least in the EU, will follow.

Debian Testing/Stable with backports/Stable. These I recommend.

My personal list is short:

1. Debian (Testing) - evertything works OOTB. Great performance. Stable. Plenty of current packages. Works on my workstation, laptop, RPi.
2. FreeBSD ;) - if you really want an alternative.

I'm using Firefox:

1. uBlock
2. Darkreader
3. Privacy Badger
4. NoScript
5. uMatrix
6. Bookmark Dupes
7. CanvasBlocker
8. ClearURLs
9. YT Enhancer
10. FF Relay
11. Open in Private Mode
12. Open Tabs Next to Current
13. Secure Password Generator
14. Toggle web custom fonts

I'm the developer of NeuroAnalyzer.jl - it's a toolbox written in Julia for analyzing neurophysiological data (EEG/NIRS/MEG, etc.) for researchers in psychiatry/neurology/neuroscience. If you would like to join an open-source project - your help is welcome and will be appreciated - look for bugs, expand documentation, unit tests, help with tutorials.

George Orwell 1984. This would be the book if I have to choose only one book to read in my entire life. Also, not bad as the first one. Can't say it's recreational, though.

You're right. Another source is here: https://quoteinvestigator.com/2015/06/13/we/

Next, AMD fab near Poznań. Please. :)

Not worth. Visuals are ok, but nothing that special; story is very poor.

I'm aware that this might be an incorrect generalization, but I do think that in general the EU gov takes more care about the EU people well-being than of corporations', while the US gov does the opposite. At least this is how I feel living in the EU.

Good news. Mine (Fairphone 3+) already has one, as will my next (Fairphone 4).

My first Atari 800XL computer and programming in general. I got it when I was 8 and as for a few first days I had no games for it but a book on Atari Basic, I started my programming journey then.
Then audio CDs and DVDs.
Then mobile phones.
Now the research equipment I work with.

Kudos to the Debian team. My favorite distro for the last decade (currently I use testing both on my laptop and workstation).

Half Life 1. Never before and never again I've got so totally immersed in the plot.

Unless it would be produced by Apple, they can be kinda cruel to Asimov's works ;)

I mostly read on my PocketBook. When finished, I delete a book from the device and mark it in Calibre with a tag "finished". I still have quite a lot of paper books - for those I just remember which I've already read.

Can't recall seeing anything better than The Expanse in the last decade. Love, Death & Robots is great, but that's not a typical TV Show. Altered Carbon S01 was ok.

First, as this is my first post here: hi all!

Regarding the topic, in no particular order, they differ so much..

Arthur C. Clark "2001: A Space Odyssey" - a classic, the book with the best movie adaptation ever
Stanislaw Lem "The Invincible" - great book about life and evolution
Neal Stephenson "Snow Crash" - my favorite cyberpunk novel
Arkady and Boris Strugatsky "Roadside Picnic" - the best approach to the issues of extraterrestrial contact
