I fear it's a necessary to spend money to ensure German and by extent European independence from China should they decide to increase the pressure on Taiwan.

We have to spend money to get the expertise and the tooling up and running. Preferably yesterday. How do you propose we do it quicker or cheaper?

I'd nominate Birdemic. You have to be in a mood to laugh at how bad it is.

Only car accident I've been in was on Friday 13th. It was minor damage and I don't think it's reason to be superstitious.

I never push updates on a Friday because I don't want to work weekends if something goes wrong.

Currently using Manjaro.

Many many years ago when I first started using Linux I tried Ubuntu. It was easy enough for me to learn enough to be able to get stuff done. Dabbled in mint for a while, don't remember why I switched back to Ubuntu.

Not a huge fan of the snap packs and the entire 2022 I had a string of problems with dependencies being out of date on different computers (company server, my own desktop). So I snapped and semi randomly picked a non Ubuntuoid dist that would let me get back to getting stuff done the same afternoon.

The company server and the CFD computer at work still run Ubuntu. They work for now.

Thrash metal.

I see no compelling argument for believing any particular religion.

I'll pick out the good parts of philosophy if you have any but I'll leave the dogma and rituals.

Probably legal unless you use their art.

Could they sue the hell out of you, block the game on app/play store and generally make your life miserable if they felt like it even if it would not hold up in a court: Yep.

You ask a carpenter what his favorite tool is? I like languages that are fit for purpose, and I enjoy using them for that purpose.

I used bin/bash when I automated the backups at work and happy doing it. I was pulling my teeth out when I had to write code for communicating with Bluetooth devices in /bin/sh because that was what was available from factory on the router.

I picked Python for when I needed to scrape a Romanian phone book (to win an argument on the internet about something completely unrelated to programming). I once tried doing parallel programming and threads, it did not work out very well and I switched to some other language before I got too deep into it.

My guilty pleasure is the voodoo magic of C. I don't really have a use for it in my job so I never get around to really do anything with it.

I prefer vegetables from the local farmer when they have them in stock at the grocery store.

I buy electronics from the not small business but the big chain that actually has a physical store in town.

In Scandinavia we run ours down to -4F or colder. Efficiency goes down but they are still better than 1:1 until then.

The guy in charge of thinking of a new acronym probably retired 10 years ago.
