Only a question of time until it runs Doom.

Also interesting to try to get low percentages. Worst I could get was 53.1% by drawing a rectangle over my whole screen.

That sounds more like the kaput poltergeist of HN!

…

Now, I want to eat pumpernickel and am shaken by wanderlust in the hinterland.

Also cannot access from Germany.

That is why I wrote „excessive“. There is a difference between instructing security personnel to be aware of gun violence and e.g. trying to justify weakening E2E encryption and omnipresent autonomous face recognition in public spaces.

I don’t know what I expected but this man looks so normal.

With assassinations or terrorist attacks it always comes to my mind that this will be misused to try to pass excessive security and surveillance laws.

Small anecdote: Back in 2017 when Zelda: Breath of the Wild came out, I was able to easily solve the labyrinths. I had all the turns I took in mind and was easily able to backtrack. Back then it was a walk in the park. When I tried to do the same labyrinths a few weeks ago, I was heavily struggling. I wasn’t able to keep all the paths in mind and lost easily the orientation which surprised me quite a lot. Of course can also be attributed to a varying mental state but nevertheless it scared me a bit about the apparent loss of certain cognitive abilities.

I personally cannot confirm this for web.de For years I had been using their email service without receiving a single spam mail. Now, I do get occasionally spam but only few a month but only for the account I use a lot. For the newly created ones again no spam.

We have swimming aircraft carriers. Now get ready for:

Flying seacraft carriers.

I am now imagining this on dating platforms: Male/white/he,his/Marmite/Vi

This. Whenever possible I take my vacation in slices of two weeks to let my body and brain fully relax and completely distance myself from my work.

There is an informative blog post from 2021 “Why a Chinese invasion of Taiwan would be a catastrophe for China and the world”:

Would rephrase it to not only SW team but also consulting.

The meeting grew organically: When I started in Corona times I had a few meetings a day with my mentor to talk about open points and questions. From there it evolved to a permanent meeting, also with others joining.

Attending the meeting is not mandatory; everybody is free to join and leave whenever they want. Some use it more regularly, some don't. I haven't heard of anybody not being happy with it.

Not directly a software development team but also consulting grouped by location and/or project.

We have a permant meeting open the whole day where everybody is free to join. Normally, it is started in the morning and a few people will join. After initial chit-chat everbody is doing their work either with the microphone off or on. When there are short topics to be discussed or questions arise it is directly done in the meeting and for bigger topics a new meeting/call is setup with the people involved. So most of the time it is quiet but you only hear the typing of your colleagues.

It basically mimics an open space office and direct human interaction where you can ask questions and overhear interesting topics with the advantage of being able to simply leave (or lower the volume) when you have a meeting or need absolute silence.

Additionally, we have a coffee break meeting in the afternoon for half an hour, that is also not obligatory, in which you can small-talk with your colleagues.

So, in total we have lots of opportunities to interact with colleagues but nothing is mandatory.

Thank you. Year did not fit in the title anymore.
