    Do not work for a company that defies your moral compass. Period. Integrity is what makes legends.

    Companies are led by humans and their morals and priorities reflect all the way down.

    I personally always try to engineer away from cloud services. They cost you ridiculous amounts of money and all you need is documentation afterwards. Then it can be easier and faster than AWS or GC

    Why did they not update the lighting? I feel like that’s a huge miss. I personally also don’t like the new art style on the cut scenes, the pixel art was beautiful

  • So, ya know when you have a ton of media files, all the photos, videos, design files etc. and your computer turns into a maze, and you can't find the damn exit? After smashing my head on the keyboard enough times attempting to find that one clip, I decided to go DIY and build something myself. That's how WrangleBot was born. WrangleBot is this open-source media asset management app I've been beating into shape for a while. I've been living off coffee and enthusiasm trying to make this baby work - and I am all out of coffee. The idea is to give you a hand managing your digital junkyard, so you can find, sort, and use your stuff easier. The app's about as tried-and-tested as I can make it, but I need some more real-world guinea pigs to add to our herd of 250. That's where you guys come in. You can download and test it from wranglebot.io. Got an idea to improve it? Cool, I’m all ears. Not to mention, bugs can be not-so-cute sometimes. So, if you stumble upon any, hit me up in our Discord Channel: https://discord.gg/sNC4KT8x Oh, and since it's open-source, if you're as crazy about coding as I am, feel free to jump in and contribute. It takes a village to raise an app, right? I’m hoping WrangleBot can make your digital life a little less "where's Waldo?", a little more "oh, there he is!" That's it from my end folks, eager to hear your thoughts and can't wait to see where this journey takes us. Link: https://wranglebot.io Happy Wrangling!

    I remember the pre-facebook era, it was about the same as now just less visually appealing. Ads were worse; they were able to redirect people to pay per view (on your phone bill) sites without notice; if you had a windows pc viruses could literally be installed by visiting a website; installing crackz was a gamble of wether you were infecting your pc or actually getting o play a game; downloads took an entire night and a day for an album; albums actually were sold per song; songs cost money; YouTube didn’t exist so TV was god; we called Friends via landline and listend to them to walk down the stairs as their mother held the apparatus in their hand, waiting to be relieved from her duty. That and most of my now bosses made most of their money scamming people and their competitors. It’s much more civilized now - trust me

  • Homeoffice - Bürostuhl Empfehlungen?

    Sehr zu empfehlen ist ein Stuhl von Löffler mit deren noch patentierten Ergo Top. Ich glaube der heißt Figo Air. Ist teuer so um die 600 Scheiben deines jüngsten, aber ich kann darauf ewig sitzen und ich sitze locker bis zu 12h am Tag. Jeder andere Stuhl reizt meine Muskeln und damit meinen Ischias - aber aufm löffler kann ich Ewigkeiten hocken und habe kaum Probleme. Das liegt an diesem ergo top, der sich mitbewegt beim verändern der Sitzposition. Damit schont man die arsch Muskeln und stärkt den unteren Rücken. Löffler macht leider auch viel Design bullshit und daher sind die Dinger teuer ohne Ende. Aber ich hab meinen seit 7 Jahren und der ist noch wie neu. Garantie ist 30 Jahre, dachte die machen Witze, aber das scheinbar ernst, wie gesagt Stoff und Schaumstoff sind wie neu. Ich hab so einen anderen Stuhl für 300 ocken und da ist der Schaumstoff schon nach zwei Jahren durchgesessen. Hab einen von Ikea der ist zwar kein Ischias ficker aber der drückt vorne auf die Adern weil der steif ist. Was die Durchblutung nicht gerade fördert. Schlecht, wenn zu Krampfadern neigt.

    Fazit: Löffler Figo Air und bring dein jüngstes Kind zum Kaufabschluss es wird teuer

    Haha, ha…ha. Und wer soll dann zahlen? Eine undefinierbare Gruppe? Einzelpersonen? Insolvenz dauert nur 3 Jahre zur Zeit und die ist als Student also möglicherweise gar nicht relevant, da der Freibetrag 1400 Netto sind. Nach der Insolvenz kriegt man da dann auch nichts mehr - das wäre ja nicht im Sinne einer Insolvenz. Der Staat darf nicht Privatpersonen für immer in der Insolvenz halten.

    Yeah, I just checked. All these guides are horrible advice - they seem like they are written by someone who read a book on something and is now the expert.

    Can someone rip your work? Yes. Is that really an issue? No. Just stealing the code changes nothing, the person needs to invest money to continue build it themselves. The original developers will always be at an advantage since they know the code base. The fork (the new version) also won’t benefit from any of the changes by the original developers, or they need to carefully copy them over. If the hostile fork is also open source then it doesn’t matter since you can just take their changes if they are good. Making it mutual.

    You can also use licenses that forbid the closing of the source. Doesn’t stop real thief’s, but it gives you a tool to stop it and also anyone who ignores a license like that is also generally not very competent.

    I work in open source one of my products is. The benefit of open source is apparent when we talk about core technology and standardization. It’s not very helpful when it comes to specific implementations or customization.

    Open Source requires sponsors, sponsors need to build on something to create capital to pay the developers behind the open source. I.e. Blender is open source, because people use it to make 3d models that they sell or get paid to build. So companies that use these models to make products like games and movies, pay Blender so that they can continue making it better and give them support. Also individuals and companies can add stuff to it. But really that’s neglect able. Open source is a promise.

    Yeah, can’t wait for all those unicorns to fold. It will be a great time for all companies that are doing 10-20% growth, as they will be getting all the money when investors start getting careful again
