  Kinda. I set my office hours in outlook, so people see if I’m available. I mostly don’t actually work at unusual times. But I can, if necessary. What’s more important is that I don’t answer work calls outside my hours, unless it’s one specific co-worker or I know in advance that a certain thing may require my attention.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not allowed to work from home⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t understand how people can live like this and not consider emigration.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not allowed to work from home⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have flexible hours. What it means is not that I’m reachable around the clock, but that I decide when I work and am reachable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's been 30 years and I still can't get over the fact that the French word for "potatoes" is "ground apples." Have The French never had an apple?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are other types of value, of course. It’s just funny to specifically call the apple out for being a myth. The entire story is a myth, so they could have made it a pomelo for all I care.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's been 30 years and I still can't get over the fact that the French word for "potatoes" is "ground apples." Have The French never had an apple?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What is “truth value” supposed to mean?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's been 30 years and I still can't get over the fact that the French word for "potatoes" is "ground apples." Have The French never had an apple?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Great! Can’t have myths about random fruit in this otherwise totally valid, reasonable and trustworthy story about a woman that was made from a man’s rib and talked to reptiles.

  Moderate Inflation (around the 2% target) is necessary for the current economical system to function. It incentivizes people to either invest or spend their money instead of sitting on it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nobel Prize 2024⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What we call AI today is also not going to evolve into an actual AI.

  You can call the field of research what you want, but the current products are not AI. Do you also call potatoes vodka?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nobel Prize 2024⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Let’s start by not calling it AI anymore. Cause it isn’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bloodlines 2 is more "spiritual successor" than sequel to a "a competently good game by 2004 standards", say Paradox⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “I actually played Bloodlines 1 quite recently, and it is a good game, but it is also an old game, and there are many things that would not fly today,”

  No new Heather. I guarantee it. Also, there will be a shitstorm about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can’t upgrade your PC to Windows 11? Buy a new one, is Microsoft’s laughable solution⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why upgrade hardware that still does all you need?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can’t upgrade your PC to Windows 11? Buy a new one, is Microsoft’s laughable solution⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because MS is so good at quickly releasing quality patches for every vulnerability that it’s not already a huge target?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can’t upgrade your PC to Windows 11? Buy a new one, is Microsoft’s laughable solution⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You make it sound like an older gaming rig wasn’t powerful enough to run win 11. It’s not about the older hardware being too weak, it’s about enforcing their TPM bullshit with which they aim to gradually create an apple style walled garden where they control what you can do with your machine.

  Yarr harr fiddle dee dee

  Stealing from Bezos is alright with me

  Don’t watch their ads cause your time’s not for free

  You are a pirate!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon will “ramp up” Prime Video ads in 2025⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Stop, stop, I already decided to never buy anything off Amazon ever again, you don’t have to convince me further.

  That is interesting, but still, the comment I answered was about Germany.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ford Chairman & CEO Jim Farley Wakes After Decade-long Nap, Shocked By China's EVs - CleanTechnica⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Trucks are limited to 80km/h.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ford Chairman & CEO Jim Farley Wakes After Decade-long Nap, Shocked By China's EVs - CleanTechnica⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Then they’re speeding.

  Also no Mercedes driver stays in the right lane. Ever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you prefer to buy games on Steam or GOG?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are differences of course. Still, Steam’s policy, which is often internationally praised as consumer friendly, is very restrictive from a European perspective.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you prefer to buy games on Steam or GOG?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I can get faulty physical goods fixed/refunded by the store up to 2 years after purchase (EU). It’s the store’s problem to get a refund from the manufacturer. The same should be true in case of Valve and a publisher.

  And you are afraid they might actually change something, because that’d mean you’d have suffered for nothing.
