I’ve never heard that one before, in my circle we call it a military shower.

I’d recommend searching for other sources to corroborate that story. A website selling Faraday bags telling you that you really need a Faraday bag is hardly a reliable source.

Reminds me of that scene from Gladiator where The Joker gives Dumbledore a hug that lasts a lifetime.

n=1 of course, but my dad was forced to write right-handed in school (early 60’s and an old-school teacher for those days). The result was more punishment as no matter how he tried, he simply couldn’t (and still cannot) write very readable with his right hand. So no, I don’t think practice is enough to make somebody ambidextrous. Might work for some, but certainly not for everybody.

Ah, good old Santa Claus. Also known as Kabouter Buttplug (Buttplug Gnome) for mysterious reasons.

That’s why he’s a cracked developer. Already broken under the heel of his capitalist overlord.

The horus guard’s beak, glistens.

I’d purchase that for a single unit of currency!

On the bright side, you’ve now got squeaky clean disk space to fill with new projects!

Well, there goes my appetite, this Dutch guy hates herring. Can’t stand the smell, taste or texture. 🤢

Oh well, I wouldn’t have been welcome anyway, seeing I’ve had the audacity to be critical of Israeli genocide defense, TACO and Daddy Put-it-in.

Guess I’ll go spend my tourist money elsewhere.

Just as long as The Netherlands come second.

Well, I really enjoyed my two-week holiday at the start of Q2. Was nice to be at a popular location before all the big crowds come in. No complaints from my manager, only a sincere ‘enjoy your time off!’ So glad we don’t have that toxic Anglo-Saxon work culture here.

Lekker. Kan ik je er ook een Haags Hopje bij aanbieden?

Imagine you’re a GitHub employee tasked with leaving a nice message for the 1 billionth repo. Seeing that counter tick towards that joyful moment, anticipation builds.

What would it be? The next Linux display manager? Something as impactful as Docker or Kubernetes? The early beginnings of a radical new OS?

Nope, it turns out to be shit. 💩

Would be nice if they could first sort out basic stuff like keeping windows on the screen after coming out of sleep mode and connecting/disconnecting an external monitor. On X11 no issues, but with Wayland stuff always gets thrown off the screen, with just a sliver of the bottom of the window still showing. Having to move every open application back by right-clicking it in the taskbar, selecting Move and manually dragging it back gets old real fast.

For a fixed PC that’s probably not really an issue, but on a laptop that gets moved around a lot it’s really annoying.

It wouldn’t. Source: it’s my native language.

If they’ll have me.

Not with the current political climate I’m afraid. Still hoping for a shift to the left, as our right wing parties just showed they are completely incompetent. Hoping for the best, expecting the worst though.

Santa forgetting to request his working visa? Believe it or not, straight to jail.

Soooo, you are saying the US (in)justice system is, at the very absolute max, going to tell him that he might end up on Santa’s naughty list for this year?
