I also used to be an office worker and lunchtime is for you and you only. If what you need is to sit alone with a podcast and decompress, people need to be respectful of that. People are usually more understanding than they’re given credit for.

Find the time to go outside during work hours. Take a little walk or something. It’s easy for me since I used to be a smoker but I get how it would make other people uncomfortable. If you live in a northern country it’s very likely you have the right to these kinds of breaks.

Fuck yes. “Winter depression” beats the shit out of summer exhaustion. Especially up here where the sun won’t stay down long for most of summer.

Give me snow and ice so I can wear my good boots and coat.

I wouldn’t be surprised at all if there’s some kind of leaded gasoline-like issue affecting people today (microplastics or some shit). Something has gone horribly wrong with peoples brains.

We have a lot of little cuck right wing “leaders” right now an they’ve been itching for a boot to lick for almost a century.

The current Swedish “Moderate party” sided with the Nazis during WW2 and had to change their name after. Now they are best buds with Swedens Nazi Party and will let them into the government next election (they’re practically in already since they dictate policy in exchange for political support).

Religion is the closest thing to true evil that exist on this planet. Insane cultists shouldn’t be allowed around children. Not even their own (they tend to mutilate them in order to mark them as members of their insane cult).

When tech-illiterate people get really excited about a certain tech, because to them it sounds like they can do even less work than they already do.

Fuck carbs. Happiness comes from salads and meat. And my wife.

No. It’s still just a very convincing auto-complete. People who claim it’s even AI are uneducated and easily manipulated by marketing.

Then maybe we can finally get some affordable graphics cards in the EU? What’s that? The manufacturers are just gonna raise prices for everyone? Well, shit.

Soup with lots of root vegetables, cabbage, lentils etc. whatever is in season (a tip is to roast the veg in the oven first for better flavour and mouth feel). I always have some good sausages in the freezer that I buy for 50% off because they’re close to expiration. Thaw them and fry them pretty hard before joining the soup. I can easily feed myself and my gf for a week from one batch. A boring week for sure but you do what you gotta do. Mix it up with some different toppings or other flavourings during the week.

I don’t think anyone has ever thought Belgium was cool. Been to Brussels plenty of times and I think it might be the least cool city in all of Europe. Except for FOSDEM of course. That is pretty damn cool.

Came here to make that exact joke. Have my upvote.

One huge difference is in how Finland calculate fines. They scale with your income.

Each sect of the insane Yahweh-cult has a way bigger body count than the Nazis ever accomplished.

Nice. Spotify sucks ass. I just use Tidal nowadays but there are other, better alternatives.

Making award winning games aren’t the most effective way to make a quick buck. Getting children addicted to gambling is.

I’m just comparing them to my experience with other devices.

Installed these in a school (not my choice of brand, but management wanted the cheapest possible thing with no other considerations as usual, fuck the privatisation of schools). I blocked them from any and all network access of course. The only thing they could communicate with was the also offline NAS hosting the footage.

They’re pretty shit and I don’t recommend them. Buy European instead if you’re not a broke bum.

I think it varies from person to person. My gf can’t tell the difference at all, even when she really tries, neither can a friend of mine (who also use the most insane jerky screen settings on his TV). For me, I can’t imagine going back to 60hz ever again. It feels like something is physically wrong with my phone if I turn 120hz off.
