What do you mean? I have every Friday off! :-)

I’ll probably watch just another season of Star Trek - TNG…

They’re all 7/9.

Then you have lost control of your life and shortcuts are the least of your problems.

KDE. Been using it since v3, tried various other systems like Gnome, Enlightenment, XFCE etc. and I’ve always been coming back to it. KDE just feels very intuitive and easy to use.

Slay the Princess

I turned that shit off after 30 minutes, it was so bad. :D Most regrettable purchase of my life.

It was definitely a combination of genetics and bad oral hygiene.

I’m in the same boat. 35 and half of them are already gone, my mum had them all removed when she was 40. My dentist is not crazy enough to take them out all at once though, that sounds insanely painful. I hope you’ll get through it soon.

Mine got fully away after buying a really good (and expensive) gaming chair and a new mattress. The gaming industry has done so much for our health, it’s insane. :)

Yes, I fucked up here. :D

My morning starts at 12am12pm. God, it’s so awesome to work in the tech industry. I’m just wired like that and always have been. Back in school I was not compatible with the system of getting up early and often missed the first two hours.

Commander Keen 4. I still love the whole series and play those games from time to time.

After that, my dad got me Doom, Wolfenstein and Duke Nukem 3D. Giving hookers money as a seven-year old in a video game was glorious, the old man has good taste.

Shake it, baby!

When I was in my 20’s, I always gave 200% at the jobs I worked at. I was young and naive and believed I would eventually be rewarded for all the hard work I put in, even on weekends and night shifts.

Then I got burnout, because I was working at a pace my body just couldn’t sustain anymore.

It changed my life drastically. I learned to value my health and free time and to prioritize that over the needs of my employer. I learned that hard work doesn’t neccessarily bring you any benefits, it mostly benefits your employer. I also learned that nobody cares when your health is fucked up - for your employer, you’re just a cog in the machine that can be replaced.

Nowadays I only work four days a week and I don’t give a shit about what happens on Fridays anymore. Server is down? Not my problem, get someone else to fix it.

I also learned to stand up for myself. I’m not getting paid like a monkey anymore and if you promise me a raise and then pretend like that never happened afterwards, you’ll have my resignation on your desk, printed out by the company printer right in front of you.

Hell yeah, such an amazing show!

Same here. They’re terrible with security updates, but their hardware is actually pretty solid. I flashed OpenWRT on my router and I’m golden.

Kill the violators of the standard, resuscitate them and kill them again!

Especially if you have an office job. Get a really good and really expensive office chair with a flexible back and adjustable arm rests so you’re not sitting in the same position every time.

And also, take a walk every day. I do that every time on my break and haven’t had back problems in years.

Take care of your damn teeth. They’re important.

I’m 34 and I already lost half of my teeth. By 40 they’ll probably all be gone. It’s definitely genetics, but also very much the lazyness in my youth that caused this.

If someone in their twenties reads this: Brush your fucking teeth, seriously. I had a phase in my life where I was living with constant pain for almost a year and almost went insane. Nobody should have to live like this.

Relatable. I’ve been working in IT for over eight years now. I didn’t study it because I didn’t qualify for university and people constantly told me I am so bad at math that I would never work in the field. Here I am, doing exactly that, just because I was really interested in computer stuff in my youth and learned something new almost every day just by myself.

I was also able to study at a design school for two years. I have already used this knowlege to design brochures, logos and various other things for customers successfully. My art teacher in school always said to me I would never be able to do something like this because she just didn’t like my art style.

I’m glad I never listened to all of these people and did indeed follow my passion. The added bonus is that I actually like my job (most of the time).

No more religious things.

So we’d have to dissolve Apple as a company. I’d be fine with that.

We already have standards for media, we would just have to enforce them more rigorously.
