The perfect synchronicity of the Metal song and the player character pumping their shotgun at the end of the opening sequence of DOOM (2016) when they exit the elevator towards the surface of Mars.

cough Wireshark cough … Tech isn’t magic. If you want to know what your phone sends, capture it.

Danke! Wollte ich ähnlich auch anmerken.

Habe schon vor ~15 Jahren mit FiRE Plänen begonnen (wovon ich den “Re” Teil schon längst wieder verwerfen musste) und daher eigentlich gute finanzielle Strukturen mit wenig sinnlosen Ausgaben, aber selbst mit relativ gutem Angestellten-Gehalt, 2 Kids, ~3 gealterten Eltern die anfangen Geld zu kosten und Leben in einer Stadt bleibt nicht genug Erspartes jeden Monat übrig um mit Ende 60 in der Nähe von 1 Millionen zu sein (kein Erbe von irgendwo - habe Studium ohne Erspartes begonnen und durchgearbeitet).

Der einzige Mensch den ich persönlich kenne der NICHT via Gründung + späterem Firmenverkauf die 1-Millionen Marke knacken wird bevor wir in meinem Freundeskreis zu alt werden ist so ziemlich genau der Charakter aus “Thank You For Smoking” (Perfekter Verkäufer für eine große amerikanische Evil-Corp).

Wenn ich mir die deutsche Bevölkerungs-Entwicklung, die immer fleischwolfigere Wirtschaft und dieses “Gesundheitssystem” anschaue dem meine Eltern gerade zum Opfer fallen, dann befürchte ich dass ich einfach nicht wirklich alt werden darf.

Die rechtliche Seite haben ja nun einige beleuchtet.

Eine weitere Seite kann sein, wie mit Dir im direkten Team umgegangen wird. Falls es ein wirklich gutes, vertrauensvolles Verhältnis ist, kann auf Deine Bedürfnisse bei z.B. Meeting-Länge, Dokumentation, Quantität an gleichzeitigen Tasks, Reizüberflutung durch DMs etc. eingegangen werden.

Das ist aber kein Recht, sondern hängt zu 100% von der Sensibilität Deines direkten Leads und Deiner Team-Mitglieder ab.

Well, at least we already have good candidates for Zorg already. Leeloo is bound to show up soon. Or maybe she’s called Luigi in our universe.

Finally playing through all the Hitman reboots in one go (They’re called 1-2-3, or now “World Of Assassination” for the whole experience, plus paid DLCs for additional missions). I played through all the original Hitman games back in the day.

While you can of course cheese your way through each mission pretty easily (NPC: “Well, he only held that weapon in his hand for less than 2 seconds, so I’ll ignore it.” or “Oh, coins on the ground! Better open that locked door to get to them so that you can follow me inside!”), it actually IS a lot of fun if you deliberately take it slow and discover all the stories that are hidden in each mission. It opens up crafty ways of getting to your targets & entertains much more than just exploiting the game engine’s weaknesses. Truly something for #patientGamers

I had the same struggle. Repatching or downloading modded APKs became annoying. But there is a way. Happy to DM about it.

Skimmed the title. Brain registered words “rpi” and “linux” underneath it. Instant reaction: “Not another app package format please”. 😶‍🌫️

I should spend more time reading properly & less time being an old man yelling at tech.

I’ve had a few candidates openly say that they took some time off and now their savings for that time period were used up and they needed to find a job to begin paying bills from income again. I enjoy such comments because it leads to me asking how they’ve spent their time away, what brought them to the realization that they wanted a dedicated time for themselves and how the last job before this time off went for them. Lots of opportunity to learn about the human in front of me.

That’s what I was referring to: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/38402246

With Android 16, Google is also royally screwing over the AOSP community. Without proper access to the source, ROMs such as Lineage, Graphene etc. will suffer.

(My advice is not to stay on Stock ROM and accept Google invading your privacy but instead fight back by complaining to Google)

Man muss das Bedürfnis, die Menschen am anderen Ufer zu besuchen, inhaltlich stellen.

I enjoyed it with a mindset of “This is an unofficial Crysis 1 (PC Game) movie adaption without the power-suit”.

“Abzû”. That’s a hill I’m willing to die on. Got to me even more than Journey or Jusant.

Also, thought very differently, “Senua Hellblade” because it perfectly displayed a condition that I could never fit into words.

Came here to write exactly this. Thank you! <3 Another neat feature of this “gesture” (many-year effort, actually) is that you can’t just buy it like a bunch of flowers or a fancy holiday. It actually takes time & commitment.

Use “free” Google services so that any pseudo-governmental entity can get full access to your mails, backups, photos, contacts, location … but worry about stuff in device memory. Yes. A sane approach.

Because the one is legal while the other is not. That’s all we need to know about the system we live in, no?

Use 500k to get my foot in the door at one of the 0% tax havens (they often require >=500k investment to get a legal entity representation). Use the other 500k + my savings to rake in the expended 500k at 0% tax via investments. Pay you back on time and be left with a 0% tax haven foothold that’ll make me +20-30% on anything I’ll invest in the future, compared to what I’d gain on investments right now due to taxation in my country.

Tangent: maybe we should classify FPS by more vectors, such as progression of gunplay (Doom 2016 is a masterpiece there, Titanfall 2 a failure), strength of story (most military-themed FPS are cringe-fests in terms of story), Lore/Tech (Bioshock’s Steampunk theme always turned me off, for example), suspense (Prey excels there, COD bores) … and many more.

This way, we might actually find decent FPS that each of us enjoy based on our tastes. <3
