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.

Lmao, the feeling when it gets cancelled 5 minutes before.

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.

Everybody hating on Java being the de facto language every student learns first (at least back when I was in university) but I think it's actually a great first language while I don't think python is for one simple reason: it has types but tries to hide them from you.

I don't think the motivation matters. They will just spin it in any way they think it will benefit them.

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?

Ah yes, this year is definitely the year of the Linux desktop. For real this time!

How is this going to end?

Google blocks access to it's services for Firefox altogether? Maybe even ban it from the Play Store? That would finally give me a real incentive to install some CFW.
