Been PC gaming on the couch for years now, either using a controller, trackball and 75% keyboard or a steam controller. Mouse pads are for work only as far as I’m concerned.

Spain has had one of the most supportive governments in Europe so this feels… excessive?

Its as easy as looking up the teardowns or scans of the most popular VR headsets. They have their batteries in the front.

Fuck off. Their interest lies with their own survival at the moment and that is strongly connected to a certain superpower voting no. Again, fuck off with that bullshit.

That is someone applying imperial system logic to the metric system. No one in their right mind uses fractions to describe 15cm.

Visualizing it like this makes it so clear how incredibly outdated this design is.

Climate Town absolute banger. Love that guy!

What is that magic number?

Making the internet usable again. Without this and ublock, I might quit the whole thing.

I had an ipad pro and it was an awful experience for me. Lack of customizations I deem normal, lack of real choice, limitations at every step. The walled garden felt hostile to me, the user. I sold it and got a Samsung tablet instead and it’s been perfect. The only thing missing is procreate, but I have alternatives that do 99% of what I wanted.

So often it’s waterfall planning and execution with agile names for roles and meetings.

We are in complete agreement. Like I said if you get a job in another EU country there’s nothing stopping you from getting permanent residency there as well. The discussion was about moving with kids, which is the parents responsibility to figure out when it comes to cost and feasibility, but the EU will not stop them and does not impose additional barriers just because one has kids.

If you had a job that could sustain you and you get a new job within EU that can also sustain you, it’s about as expensive as you would expect a long distance move to be. There’s no system in place as far as I know to block you from getting permanent residency in another EU country because you don’t have starting money. That’s just your inherent responsability to figure out like with any move.

The barriers are your skills and language. Other than that, no.

Edit: some people move without permanent residency anyway. It has its’ drawbacks.

I gave up on it fairy easily, because after it was forced on us, the market also responded by flooding with cheap and decent options for headphones, which I started trying out and slowly I stopped using a wire with my phone.

I still think bluetooth is not great, with a lot of weird connection issues even on expensive devices, which was never a problem with a wire, but I do enjoy the freedom it offers.

Today, yes, I agree. It’s really hard to compete with them anymore. But 15 years ago when everyone was rushing to capture the market, there were many opportunities to do so. Steam and valve were never infallible, but at least they took feedback and stayed consistent, unlike their competitors.

They are a monopoly because they’ve had the best product on the market consistently for 15 years. There used to be huge resistance to them and their drm from gamers, but they have shown over many years that they are trustworthy, unlike others that have tried this.

This is not an Apple or Google store situation where proper competition could not exist. They were always up against giants like Microsoft, EA, Ubisoft or more recently Epic.

That’s pretty much the idea behind the scrum events, they should reduce the need for other meetings. As a note the weekly stand-up and 1:1 that show up in the picture are not scrum events.

Thing is, the scrum guide is pretty clear that if you don’t follow the whole thing, you shouldn’t call it scrum and you’re on your own. It can still work, but only if the mindset is right and people involved know what they are trying to do with it. Which most times is not the case.

Most people in corporate have no fucking idea what they are doing and a good setup will have these meetings focus everyone on the same thing and making sure they are progressing. This setup may not be useful for coding untestable and undocumented code in your basement, but it’s very useful in big companies. Unfortunately there are also many twats that abuse this in order to make themselves look useful so it’s very easy to end up in a broken system if no one is keeping an eye out for this.

Which is a shame, since they are so bad.
