- Comment on Where are the marketing volunteers? 2 days ago:
Here's a somewhat cynical take: marketeers do it for the money. Period. Back when I a student myself, I met many types of students. Marketing students could roughly be classified as 'in here for the money' and 'I do not know what to do otherwise'. There was no real sense of activism or any desire to make the world a better place (except for themselves that is).
Throughout my career I met with many marketeers. They were nice to work with, but I never met anybody in marketing who was inclined to use their skills for a good cause.

At least they would have a good idea where I live.

My fediverse accounts are anonymous and may not be tracable to me or my family based on the information I post. I do post political views and stuff about my hobbys. I leave my loved ones out of my posts, so no sharing of pictures or other personal information.
I do have a dormant LinkedIn account and a semi-active Strava account though, so if you can trace my fediverse accounts to either, you can potentially find out some more personal stuff.
- Comment on Microsoft AI CEO Puzzled by People Being "Unimpressed" by AI 1 month ago:
You are aware that the Luddite movement is not so much a reaction to new tech, but a reaction to the use, or rather abuse of said tech? As somebody who works in tech, I am not opposed by AI as a tool, but using it for the sake of using it does not solve anything.
- Comment on How do you beat post-work floppiness? 1 month ago:
One coping mechanism that helps me a lot, is taking evening walks. While listening to music or podcasts. If it does not alleaviate the exhaustion, it will at least convert the exhaustion into a more physical kind, rather that a burnt-out mental kind.
Also, you might suffer from burnout. I am not a doctor or psychologist though, so you may ask an actual professional.

...hard agree. Depending on use case, you do not need top notch hardware anyway. Also, degoogling a Fairphone is extremely easy.
- Comment on Candles are the percent gift. Of the receiver doesn't like them they can set them on fire and remove the problem. 2 months ago:
If you give me a candle as a present, you are not my friend anymore.

It looks a bit like a stretched out century series jet. I do not dislike it.

- Comment on Are there any decor people here? I ask because in the Big Lebowski it begins with a rug that tied the room together. In your opinion did it? 2 months ago:
Oooh! I like that one too.

I consider this to be one of the many little jokes of the movie, that makes it so lovable.
explaining a joke to death
The Dude lives in a shithole and somehow cares about the rug as if it is the main design piece.
- Comment on Question about wifi-speaker for laptop, or docking station setup. 3 months ago:
I am not sure about your budget, but when I had a similar dilemma a few weeks ago, I decided to spend a bit more and eventually came up with a Denon Wi-Fi speaker. It has Bluetooth, several streaming plugins, Internet radio and even a physical audio port.
I mostly use Spotify and bluetooth for my own music collection. Spotify connect works well from within the web client. Also, the sound quality is excellent.
The price was decent, about €270.
