Slightly over a year ago, I wrote about the 2022 UN Happiness report, where Israel was in 4th position. Once I overcame my surprise, I wrote One thing is clear: maybe we were happy, but not in 2023! I suspect that the 2024 report will show a sharp decline in Israel's happiness. Then I was referring to the proposed ruin of the judicial system. The events of Oct 7 were six months in the future.
So today I was even more surprised to read that Israel is ranked 5th in the 2024 World Happiness Report, which is sponsored by the UN, through a poll conducted by Gallup, measuring happiness in countries between 2021 and 2023.... the report's authors said that the survey was conducted, "After the hostage taking (on October 7th) but before much of the subsequent warfare".
If we're so happy here then life really must be tough elsewhere.
Computer update: Firefox is now working well. I've added some of the missing links, but more importantly I've added passwords to various sites. I managed to reinstall AnyDesk and to establish links to three computers with unattended access so I can retrieve files now. I also reinstalled MegaSync that synchronises files between my computer and remote backup. So now I can return to uploading large database files from the OP's server then back them up at Mega. Still no luck with installing Chrome although I've managed to uninstall it.
Kobo update: I continued reading the mobi version of 'Troubled
blood', ignoring the various letters that were inserted randomly into the
stream. But one of these letters caused the Kobo to display the book in bold
text which was very annoying. Also the Kobo reports all the time that 1% of
the book has been read which is obviously wrong. So I converted the
mobi file to epub format and uploaded that: a huge change!
Apart from no superfluous letters, chapters now work properly, I can see in
which chapter I am and how many pages remain to be read in that chapter (an
odd metric, in my opinion) and what percentage of the book has been read. So
now I will have to convert mobi books back to epub and upload
them, whilst deleting the mobi version.
