this is just boomer talk, I am sorry but todays world is different to the one he grew up in. We face challenges that makes prioritizing 100% on family extremely hard.
I mean two can play the poor me game. My uncle grew up half starving in a shack in Alabama during the depression then signed up for WWII and served in the Pacific Theater. After that, he volunteered to fight in Korea, "because I needed the money." When he came back he used the GI bill to get an education and became a teacher.
Boomers got drafted to fight in Vietnam and a lot of them died and had pretty rough patches if they made it back. They lived through probably the worst inflationary period in the 1970s along with the oil shock, and got replaced by computers and offshoring in the 80s and 90s. Their crushing factory jobs got outsourced and most of the farmers had to sell off their multi-generational family farms because massive agribusiness made it so they couldn't compete. A lot of them couldn't take it and killed themselves.
Go back further in time and it gets worse. I'm not saying you don't have it rough, but put it in perspective. Lots of generations, including the Boomers, had it rough.
Patterson was already out of college in 1972, Howard Hughes was still alive and was the richest man in the US, but Hughes was reclusive and accomplished more without attracting attention, compared to someone like Musk in a similar position today.
But Hughes Tool and Hughes Aircraft were only somewhat similar to working for Tesla or Spacex. This was the '70's and Hughes had made so much money decades earlier that his manufacturing operations were much more old-fashioned and he provided intentionally better jobs and security for engineers and workers than alternative contemporary employers like oil or automotive. Everything like that was still expected to be "career for life" if you wanted it to, with constant advancement in pay at least, if not job title.
All these companies had tons of applicants so like today the vast majority of highly qualified candidates never had a chance.
I was around back then so I'm officially a boomer according to current guidelines.
But I was not quite out of high school around 1972, so it was a little too late to be very similar at all.
This would be an exact quote in that long gone time frame, from millions of people my age, allow me to embellish:
"(1976) I am sorry but todays world is different to the one he grew up in. We face challenges that makes prioritizing 100% on family extremely hard."
IOW, this is what millions of the younger "boomers" sounded like by that time. Talking about fortunate people only a few years older than themselves. Not 50 years older at the time like Patterson is now.
Being extremely aware of things like this for 50 full years myself, people like Patterson with his background and philosophy, I really have always admired more than anything else.
It's easy for me to appreciate high-performers thriving in a more flourishing landscape without envy.
For one thing, that can set an example of what it is supposed to be like.
It's not my fault that the economy had been destroyed while I was still a teenager, and those who were already adults had opportunities that were never going to reappear.
And it's not their fault either, they were just barely adults at the time.
I figured I could whine over the roll of the dice, or focus on the reality of the situation.
Edit: No doubt I was born into an equally prosperous time as Patterson, that's what makes me "officially" a boomer. It was just too good to last once the crooks came into political power.

The hallmark of (Gen Z and Millenial?) talk, if we are doing stereotypes, is victimhood.
No, it doesn't unfortunately. In a professional testing world, we'd normally just ask clients nicely to disable that for our testing. If you're testing something where you don't have a relationship with the developers, then Frida is my go-to tool to get around that. Although once you've disabled SSL pinning, you can use Pākiki to intercept the traffic itself.
I dont have any good advice, but wanted to say hang in there buddy. Its gonna get better. You wrote that you're usually the one supporting your friends. Maybe its time you asked for help from them. It may not be easy but you will be surprised how caring friends can be.
The other way around: the GDPR was the precursor to this lawsuit, this is the implementation of the directive by a local court which found that, indeed, using GA violates the GDPR.

this is actually good for bitcoin. just proves that no powerful government can touch money stored in bitcoin. Finally an alternative to digging gold bars in the woods :)
I am not German, but in North America, a Judge can rule you in contempt of court and held in custody until you comply with the terms of the judical order. There is no "oh, you ran out the clock, ok off you go you scamp!".
Yes, but they do tend to avoid doing so if you’ve, for instance, plausibly lost the ability to do what the order demands you do - like forgotten the password or lost the keys, and there is no evidence you have backups.
Additionally, ‘knowledge’ such as a password has been pretty consistently ruled as protected by the 5th amendment and in theory someone couldn’t be held in contempt for refusing to divulge it here in the US. However, if someone is already convicted or seizure of something is blocked by that knowledge (that may also be incriminating if someone has it?), that is less tested and probably not protected.
Even if you haven’t, it is very, very rare (and usually requires high profile political pressure) for being held over contempt to happen for very long.
1A says the government can't make a law abridging speech.
It doesn't say Twitter can't refuse to make posts submitted by X available to everyone who accesses their systems via the Internet.
I can see where if many people depend on a company, some need to prevent arbitrary cutoffs of service is needed if the service is needed for life--such as heating, food, ER service, etc. Twitter is not needed for basic survival.
the people on these communities creates their alternative reality. selectively avoid news/information that can burst their bubble. its the same with /r/politics. both living in massive bubbles with complete opposite realities.
the difference is that r/the_donald is more violent. They cordinate gatherings, "attacks", a violent protests.
r/politics which is liberal bubble is more peaceful but both these communites censor opposing views and is dangerous to democracy
