25 y/o programmer from Germany
I have to admit that I won’t be on good terms again with my sibling for a long while. They did some very distressing things this year that were a large contributor to my burnout. Never apologized for it, never tried to fix anything. I’m done with that tbh
Anyone remember the time when “big data” was supposed to be the next big thing?
I have never seen a situation where buying a phone from a carrier is worth it. Is buying the phone you want separately not an option for you?
My phone bill (unlimited calls/ 12GB mobile data) is 7€ a month. So even 89$ a month seems really extreme imo.
Not straight, and not a man, but I just think they’re neat! There really doesn’t need to be a “why” to attraction, sometimes your brain just sees something and goes “yes”
Yeah, that’s very valid! I’d like to think that the technology got safer in the past years, but honestly I don’t even wanna check and risk having to give up the coziness
I guess, but fire isn’t very healthy either I think
The electric heating pad I sleep on. I wouldn’t be surprised if some study finds that something about sleeping on wires would be kinda bad long-term. Maybe something about residual currents or the minimal magnetic field from the wires, idk

If full-blown piracy is too scary, start by at least using grey-market streaming sites for watching movies and shows 👍 c/piracy has a good megathread for sites: https://wiki.dbzer0.com/piracy/megathread/movies-and-tv/
It goes to the Desktop, when the Desktop is full I delete everything that looks unimportant 👍

I feel like there’s a really good amount of Europeans around, but I might just imagine that because I browse new at the times when Europeans would be awake haha
It will be easy once you find the right person to date.
Very few people are properly compatible with each other, and sure, good small talk skills and general “dating” abilities will keep you dating someone for longer - but why prolong the suffering if it didn’t already click naturally?
Should be pretty doable, even if you don’t have much JS knowledge yet. You might want to look into TamperMonkey for this, it’s a sort of framework for making custom browser plugins!
I tried to go to University for CS but never quite got the hang of the math part. Instead I got a Certification in Computer Science from an apprenticeship (idk if that’s the right Translation, in German we call it “Fachinformatiker für Anwendungsentwicklung”) within 1.5 years and with extreme ease, because it was way less math-heavy and more focused on actual programming.
I stayed with the company that I did the apprenticeship with and got promoted from Junior to Regular within a year. I work exactly in the field and position I wanted to work in when I was going for the CS degree. In fact, I have the exact same responsibilities and the same pay as my colleagues with CS degrees. It might not be like that in every company, but it did work out for me.
Just for fun, I actually went back to Uni this semester to try and actually finish one or two math modules, but dropped out within 2 weeks because I was hopelessly incapable of even understanding the basic concepts lol
My brain always hurts when playing never have I ever, something about the wording just inherently confuses me every time. The upvote/downvote addition makes it worse haha
Never have I ever been to a wedding! Looks like my own one will be the first I attend :o
Honestly, anything over 30k wouldn’t really be worth it. Way easier to get a nice vacation and some therapy sessions for the same money instead of being that mad at someone.
Yooo me too! Moths freak me out more, but butterflies are pretty close. I usually just hide under a big blanket whenever a moth makes it into my apartment and let my husband handle it, but he recently moved out for work. I only cry a little bit when I have to confront them myself 😎
I also can’t stand Jellyfish to such a degree that I refuse to go into any open water. Even stuff like lakes and Rivers, which probably don’t have Jellyfish, but the idea just freaks me out too much.
Another soul lost
I held a basic digital security course for the 6th-8th graders when I was in 12th. My favorite topic from that was Phishing and Password theft.
I only had the time and resources for some PowerPoint slides of emails, where students could point out what exactly is suspicious but that wasn’t very engaging.
If I had the time though, I would have set up some trackable links for the students and told them to try Phishing School staff and their friends/parents. It would have been some free pen-testing for the school, plus students would have been way more willing to internalize information that allows them to do something “naughty”. The main point is that most digital risks don’t come from some high-concept hacking, but from social engineering and a moment of inattention. Everyone can fall for it, no matter how smart they think they are. I think that’s an important lesson to learn.
Definitely stainless steel pans! They take a bit to get used to, but they’re so much more convenient because you don’t have to baby them like teflon pans. Cleaning is also much easier, I just scrape them down with a metal spatula and throw them in the dishwasher.
