I thought for a moment you were talking about…Saturn.

I only played up to MW3, back then the meta was maxing out on armor and medium range lasers. Go in close , aim for the opponent’s leg, shoot. Your mech powers down from the heat for a couple seconds, but the other mech is out of the action. Proceed to one-shot almost every opponent.

that’s how the lesser known cousin of black holes are created, brown holes.

Bazzite comes with no dev tools pre-installed and a lot of gaming-related stuff.
Of course you can add what you need through flatpaks, containers or image layering, but why not choose a distro aimed at dev work in the first place?

Just be aware: Extracting anything work related into a private account can itself be reason to fire you.
And if you’re already on the shit list, chances are you are being monitored for stuff like this.

Then I must be the goodest boy. They even bring them to me still alive, to teach me how to hunt.

I am diagnosed with ADHD but also have basically every Autism symptom to some extent. But I don’t know if pursuing an Autism diagnosis is even worth it, like it’s not treatable anyway, is it?

I just hope I’m a good boy!

It still exists, and people still use it to vent about their issues in it. But there’s now also a mailing list with externally hosted mail addresses of the important people in case of a real emergency.

YouTube is useless now for discovering new stuff. It’s all top 10 lists with AI voices reading AI text that vaguely aligns with your interests but is designed to farm engagement.
You like watches? Here are the top 10 reasons why Rolex sucks now.
Interested in history? These are the 7 dumbest military leaders of all time.
The only way to get anything out of it is to watch videos from creators you already know.

I know that, but what choice is there when the reindeer leave and Grandpa can’t walk anymore?

You wake up multiple times every night, everyone does. You just don’t remember it in the morning.
Unless you see something that is memorable.

I got cats. In the evening they meow and paw at me to tell me to go to bed because they want to use me as a heating pad to lay down on.
And in the morning they tap my face to tell me it’s time to get up and feed them.

My workplace introduced a “crash group” on Whatsapp. The idea was to have a channel for quick emergency communication in case the company got hacked and all other channels were taken offline. So IT was strongly encouraged to join, as well.
It quickly turned into everyone posting to Whatsapp every time they had any tiny issue or had forgotten their password, and expecting immediate tech support regardless of working hours.
So my boss, the IT team leader, left the group and told the CTO to call him directly if there’s a true emergency. He also told everyone else in IT to leave it. And when Teams was introduced, he ordered us not to accept any tech support requests through Teams, and to escalate to him if anyone complains about it.
Even the company owner and the C-suite call helpdesk or write tickets now if they need support (their tickets are automatically flagged with the highest priority).
My boss and the culture he fought for is one of the main reasons I took this job, even though I could have gotten a bit better pay elsewhere.

It’s also become “Europe’s China”, the place where all manufacturing goes from companies that want a “made in EU” label.
So there’s a huge influx of workers, driving up the housing demand.

Average salary is a useless metric. A small number of people make so much money that it raises the “average” to much more than what the “average” worker earns.

I can’t speak for the other countries, but HOW IN THE FUCK would you even find a 1 bedroom apartment in Berlin?
Also, the average salary isn’t what someone living in a 1 bedroom apartment would earn.
I’m over 40, working as an IT sysadmin, and just recently started making an average salary for Germany.
The average is skewed heavily by the top 10% who make a lot more than everyone else.
If you want to discuss housing prices, compare with the median instead.

I agree that few would choose that life.
I still believe those who were forced to live that life led happier (if shorter) lives.

Computers run on magical smoke.
Proof: When the smoke comes out, the computer doesn’t work anymore.
