I 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!

Yes, 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.

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!

Nice Rick&Morty copypasta you got there.

It doesn’t have to be a flagship. Just make sure the phone has a decent amount of RAM. There are even modern phones that come with Android Go and 2GB of RAM that are not futureproof and absolute crap.

I tend to look for phones that are supported by LineageOS so I know there will be community updates.

Might give you an idea how hard this instrument is to master.

vogons.org - we’re all stuck in the 90’s, tinkering with old computers.

Got a massive raise, switched to the four-day work week because I can afford it now, went to the cinema almost every week and watched a shit-ton of great movies. I even attended a marathon with all Harry Potter movies back to back and slept in the cinema.

No regrets.

I love “Independence War 2: Edge of Chaos”. I even run its official fansite.

To this day, I have never finished the game because it’s hard. I mostly play it like a sandbox space pirate simulator. :D

Oh I got called that, too. Similar problems. Being a teenager was rough.

Debian for the server, Fedora for the desktop. 💪

I just got an email today that they’re raising the price to 13€ here in Germany starting December. I think I’ll pass and go the pirate way again. That aggressive behaviour against adblockers while also raising the prices feels like a scummy move.

Loved this show. Started to go downhill when they introduced those nazi aliens though. And without John Rhys-Davis it wasn’t the same anymore…
