> I can't for example just create something "for fun"
can you create something at all ?

>>78203251
yeah if i know that it brings not only fun but also some sort of profit (portfolio/future use)

>>78203235
hm maybe im too worried about time and all of that, can't just waste it on something like haiku when i know no one uses it.

>>78203212
mental illness. it's not a coincidence that most of those people are trannys

You learn better working on a project and OS happens to be the ultimate project encapsulating everything computers can only work with. Depends on your priorities, if you already have a job you don't care and write for fun, otherwise you would be better pursuing applicable skills in webshit development.

you sound like an animal. eat shit fuck sleep, everything else is a waste of energy

No, that's you. Chasing a hormone like a worm burrows in mud. Try actually thinking forward and making rational decisions. What are you gonna do in 10 years, put that code on a shelf? Nope.

>>78203414
you don't even know me so I don't know where did your assessment came from. Most people don't works on something 24/7. Some people do some programming instead if watching tv or playing vidya, what's so weird about it...

>C10H12N2O is just a hormone circulating your system. Accept your mortality and become adult human being, like %whoami% am. Fitter, happier. More productive. Comfortable. Not drinking too much. Regular exercise at the gym, three days a week. Getting on better with your associate employee contemporaries.\r

ReactOS is made by Russians who yearn for Windows without paying for it. Haiku is based off BeOS that got sold to Palm Computing and was well utilized up until their death.

an unenjoyable life isn't worth living. you yourself know this.
what's actually going on here, is you don't find writing operating systems enjoyable, instead you find other things enjoyable, and that's perfectly okay, you're a different person.
you're not somehow excluded from the hormone chasing.
now fuck off.

>This is boring
That's literally what someone seeking that high would say.
>>78203440
I'm just saying there's more to life than doing things 'for fun'. I also have fun sometimes, in controlled timeframes. But I calculate that would relax me to a certain degree and that's that.
>>78203461
Nice projection.
>Fitter, happier. More productive. Comfortable. Not drinking too much. Regular exercise at the gym, three days a week. Getting on better with your associate employee contemporaries.
This is unironically what a good, balanced, and rational adult believes. If you're not fit, happy, etc, then you have stunted growth. I say nice projection because that is literally what dopamine hunting is.

I get my fun from exercising, playing badminton, doing improv and stand-up at the office, and having a girlfriend. I shitpost here once a day to see how far I've come from you autists.

my sides
you really have no awareness

>>78203503
>I'm just saying there's more to life than doing things 'for fun'.
yeah no shit. You think the people working on these things you listed in OP do nothing else but this project?

>>78203558
That's not an argument. Are you just being delusional at this point? Are there any good reasons to be unfit, unhappy, unproductive?

>>78203554
None of those things you listed are any more meaningful than filming yourself competitively finishing video games and contributing to open source.

see? you chase hormones too, just like everyone else. you find all those things enjoyable. I know this is extremely difficult for you to understand, but other people, being different, find different things enjoyable.
>b-b-but it's not the same! my hobbies are normal and well-adjusted!
you wouldn't even last a few months without those things. you would become depressed and commit suicide.
you chase that high just like everyone else, and you're so used to it you don't know what it's like without it.

>>78203575
>Are there any good reasons to be unfit, unhappy, unproductive?

>>78203620
>No but I do think "contributing" to open source projects outside high school and university or for free is a waste of time.
oh well

Thank you for doing it for free. $0 cents have been deposited in your account.

my sides

you actually can't see a negative connotation in fake happiness
you actually have no self-awareness

now you just step backwards from "pursuing fun is childish" to "my fun > your fun"

the only thing that actually bothers me honestly is that people like you have girlfriends and reproduce

>imagine trying so hard to play the social game that the social game played you instead
lmaoing @ ur creditcard advertisement imagery emulating "life". I'm highly regarded among colleagues, superiors, friends and family without hitting slowass feathered balls on the weekly.
What's wrong? Body and mind too degraded already to play a real man's racket sport?
Every single one of your replies thus far was social, physical, psychological and career deadend cope.
