Man I feel you and I know it's just how things are. But I often ask myself the following question: Why are lots of office workers so bad with computers? It's the tool they use for 1/3 of working day in their life. Just like a craftsman should learn to use their tools. No, instead they always act like it's something only tech guys should know about.

My cat.

My soon to be wife.

I found a new hobby: there is a group practicing with katanas (Iaido) in my region. The people there are also very nice.

Since I am a computer guy, I'm having fun moving replacing more and more services from big tech with open source services.

Kurzer Rant weil ich mal wieder auf Reddit unterwegs war und selbst da muss wohl inzwischen in vielen Subs Selbstzensur betrieben werden. Wörter wie "Deadly" müssen entweder mit Sternchen unkenntlich gemacht werden (ein User hat "Double plus unlifely" vorgeschlagen lel).

Ich wusste dass das auf Facebook, Instagram und TikTok ein Ding ist, noch ein Grund für mich, das nicht zu benutzen aber auch auf Reddit? Das Mainstream Internet ist einfach verloren sage ich.

Not from the US and I don't understand why one would support a candidate just because he survived an assassination attempt. Can somebody explain the logic behind this?
