How did Vietnamese live in the past?
How did Vietnamese live in An Giang for the past 200 years?
They owned farm land and just had enough mostly.
10 pieces of land to feed their family with some extra.
…
Did my parents trick me into living externally here in Canada?
Did they make me here in Canada to push me to live like a North American and work this way?
Are they converting me to live externally instead of internally naturally like in An Giang?
Instead of working 1 season a year farming now I got to study?
How does my father’s family differ from my mother’s side?
…
So what really pushed me back to North America in 2015 – 2016?
Anh Bu and Anh Loc on my mother’s side from uncle #4.
Anh Loc went demon mode and I stared straight into his eyes to the depths of no mans land telling me how upset, disappointed he was that his 33 year old cousin did not have skills, no PhD, no life understanding, no money, who was going back to Vietnam to live. All his friends overseas were able to get their skills and education but his cousin had diddly squat. Loc did not have the opportunity to live overseas and his cousin was jumping ship losing out to the first class amenities of living in the first world.
At that time, he had a child and was living back home and he basically said married life with a kid is horrible …
You work doing your job on projects of weeks, pay bills with no money left over and the baby is a kid that needs lessons 24/7 and attention all the time.
Becoming an adult is like “What the Heck!” … You should get all your education first ???
Anh Bu said life sucks. He was older than me by 15 years and said life doesn’t get any better unless you work and work and work and build and build. Life is the dog house.
The first 5 to 10 minutes of conversation is great between older 30+ years old cousins but quickly sours as adults requirements come up. Then it is hell from there on out.
…
The key problem …
The immigration problem of different lifestyles and perspectives between Vietnam and Canada. One is Western based while the other Eastern.
The solution is the middle children in families. The middle children show and tell you how it is. They got to balance the front children from the back children to keep the family whole as a unit to survive.
I kept my end up here in Canada slaving away for the next 10 years since 2015 getting the education and skills necessary to hold my end up here in Canada.
Now my relatives back home understand and share the opportunities and knowledge and skills of what manifested from the dual cooperation.
Now both sides of the family is safe, both locations are OK.
…
The key takeaway was that I was allowed the time to grow here in Canada through Western and all sorts of perspectives from living here in Canada.
From bridging language and cultural barriers, I was able to accomplish somethings to fulfill the the connection and get a positive response overseas back home.
The key thing was time to understand and time to build beyond the circumstances in front of you. Canada allowed that.
It is just building bigger really.
…
The practical way of building solutions required too much manpower.
The final solution was safe and clean with users across the world being able to understand what is written.
…
Our solution was to be different. So different in fact that it made things awkward. And that was the solution.
With some usage, play and mobility, we got a special solution.
It was just awkward to use and update that at the end became a educational toy and used privately.
We could use it to market other solutions. But the key is that is was a fusion of a bunch of stuff that made it hard to use and describe and explain.
…
Above two section rewritten using products and history …
Usually products are big projects that require established companies with employees that have used computers for 30+ years.
Sophia Script for Windows is from a small team which is clean and safe to use for all users worldwide as it is coded normally to be easily read (scripting mostly). It is designed to be the simple but not so simple standard.
The Debloaters from FreeTimeTech was a normal debloater but had a twist.
At the end it wasn’t the solution. It became a marketing tool and educational toy and if used was updated privately for internal use by users or companies.
It was a fusion of this and that. You could update it yourself through the GUI and the updates refreshed instantly. The mashup of this and that showed how fragmented and confusing the software is. It is similar to Vietnamese history. But once you piece it up, there is something useful and hard to explain.
…
The main driver is that the Debloating and utility market before FreeTimeTech was mostly text console based and sparse.
Ben and David came in adding fresh blood into the mix. This means immigration. Vietnamese immigration to North America.
…
They got into the topic of Windows customization and modding like North Americans. David who is Southern Vietnamese origin assimilated into North American modding culture.
