2 months agoThat was the first thing I learned when training for that job. They really drilled that into all of us.

1·3 months agoI see more people in my profession (programming) doing the four-day work week, but we’re still in an extreme minority. Outside of this field, it’s even worse. The liberal and conservative parties are actively pushing against it. Almost every day there’s an article where some rich CEO whines about young people being lazy. Added to that: Our aging population and a general lack of workers paired with aggressive anti-immigration politics - they also don’t help this cause.
So yeah, more people are doing it (especially in IT), which makes me hopeful. But I still don’t see it getting rolled out in a big fashion anytime soon, unfortunately. Especially because salary levels in Germany are already very low and not everyone can afford the loss of pay switching to a four-day work week.
I just know I’ll never go back. The amount of energy I gained by just having a day more to myself per week is extraordinary.
Yes, but it’s actually an “It’s Thursday!” feeling.
The four day work week is amazing.
The nightmare PS2 dirty disc screen
To be fair, PS2’s are so damn rock-solid new generations can experience this for many years to come. They just gotta get one.
There’s a curated list of no-bullshit mobile games which are real fun, without any microtransactions: https://nobsgames.stavros.io/
Mobile Gaming can be fun. :)
Bring back Asbestos!
I’m still mad that show was canned. 😡
16·5 months agoYes, they are mature and stable now. But they weren’t when they were first introduced into Ubuntu, for example.
In the UK version of Hell’s Kitchen you can see this side of him. In one episode he just hung out at the beach with his whole team and it was so wholesome.
The US show is cut in a way that emphasizes his outbursts, it’s much worse.
Patrick Volkerding. It’s amazing he’s still managing his own Linux distro after all of these years. And I’m eternal grateful for him refusing to adopt systemd and pulseaudio when they were both not mature and stable enough and most other distros didn’t care.
31·5 months agoThank you for your valuable contribution. 😄 It’s just as good as Nvidia’s drivers.
I tried upgrading to the 550 beta driver now and it just segfaults in libnvidia-glcore.so when I try to run anything Wayland-related. Can’t even get to sddm with it anymore and have to start KDE from a TTY. Of course, xorg still works fine.
Good to see I’m not alone with this. I have multiple monitors with various resolutions (4K, 2K and an old 1600x1200 VGA screen) and I like the fractional scaling methods Wayland has. It makes it really easy to combine all of these screens into one useable area.
Fractional scaling on X11 can be enabled but it’s such a massive performance hit, that it doesn’t make any fun or sense to use it.
On my UHD 620, Wayland is rock-solid. Everything just works, it never crashes, I don’t have any glitches and the performance is great. On Nvidia, when it’s not just crashing it still feels laggy. Even moving around windows seem to be a struggle for the system and it’s so sad to see that.
Hopefully this will improve in the near future.
An example of what I see when I run dmesg when Wayland is active:

Great, my hobby is going to the cinema every week. Doesn’t need any practice, just sit ya ass down and watch.
This. This is exactly it. I could earn a bit more money working 40 hours, but I decided to do a 4 day work week with only 32 hours and my health has increased drastically.
What’s funny about this, is that I’m also a coder and I used a lot of my spare time and regained power to learn new tools, frameworks and programming languages outside of work. Ultimately, these will result in higher paid jobs. Can’t do that when you’re constantly tired.
Last year I started working less for even more money. Another company wanted to poach me, so my boss had to make me an offer. Went down to a 32 hour work week with Fridays off while also getting a significant raise, so I stayed at the company. He didn’t like it, but there wasn’t much of a choice because we’re severely understaffed.
Let’s see if I can do this again this year. Not working less hours (32h is fine), but getting an even better offer.
I am just now seeing this. The problem has finally been fixed :) It was indeed a federation bug with 0.19.1.
ApocalypticArt can live again!
Oh hell no, I don’t want to go through school again. Teenagers are horrible to each other.
Censoring in computer games. Here in Germany, a lot of games were censored aggressively when I was young, because God forbid the youth is able to play games in their original form! They will turn to the dark side when they see some red pixels! Politics got even worse when we had a school shooting incident (not that regular here) and the attacker played a video game.
A lot of games where either not available at all or we had robots, green blood or missing assets in them.
I also liked to listen to electronic music (still do), but I grew up in North-East Germany and the only radio stations here played pop, rock and old people music. Couldn’t tape techno music, was too poor to buy it (and too far away from a good store anyway), so I looked on the web and found a lot of great stuff.
I still remember the first online music stores, with horrible DRM and 128kbps WMA files…it was not a good time.
For a while I had Netflix and Spotify, almost didn’t pirate anything anymore. Then Spotify started draining my phone’s battery, they didn’t shuffle properly anymore and I got recommended songs that were definitely sponsored (fuck you, A State of Trance). Netflix lost a lot of content and we got many more streaming services in return. So here we are again.
