Somewhere between Linux woes, gaming, open source, 3D printing, recreational coding, and occasional ranting.

Venture capital and crypto money do not last forever and they need to maintain and run a for-profit corporation.
The question is not IF they will sell some soft of “pro accounts” and have advertising, the question is only WHEN they will have it. My guess is before Q3/2025.
What happens if the man does not pay? Will they put him in jail?
Honestly, before I’m done setting up a debugger and creating breakpoints, etc. I have added 10 consle.log() at assumed failure points and run the code again two times.

I’m sorry, but the only spaghetti you get is a 17 levels deep if clause.
You can’t spell “functional programming” without “fun”.
Repeat after me: public static void main(String[] args)
Since we’re here
What you guys are referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux. Thank you for taking your time to cooperate with with me, your friendly GNU+Linux neighbor, Richard Stallman.

People walking too slow to stay behind them but too fast to pass in a reasonable amount of time and distance.
I am pretty sure, this one uses real photos to generate a random face on every refresh of the site.
Organic Maps is FOSS, supports offline navigation, and has an iOS version. It uses OSM maps you can download as needed.
Oh damn. Here are some movies to watch:
My laptop (actually designed and used as mobile device with a 13 inch screen) has one USB-C port which is meant for charging or for attaching a docking station. And I am absolutely happy with it.

Mine was an ELSA Erazor III LT (the name somehow stuck). It was an offer that was bundled with horribly bad and clumly mechanical shutter 3D goggles. I remember trying Half Life with it. It was rattling all the time and the 3D effect was mediocre.
As a non-American I couldn’t care less about American politics. So here’s a recipe for classic waffles instead:
Crack the egg into a large bowl, then tip in the flour and a generous pinch of salt. Add the sugar, if using, then gradually whisk in the milk followed by the melted butter until smooth. Whisk in the vanilla, if using. Alternatively, make the batter by blitzing all the ingredients together using a blender or hand blender. Can be made 1-2 hrs ahead and chilled.
Heat a waffle maker following the manufacturer’s instructions and brush with a little of the oil. Then ladle in enough batter to just cover the surface. Cook following the manufacturer’s instructions (usually 5-6 mins) until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
Serve immediately or keep warm in a low oven while you make the rest. Drizzle with maple syrup or sprinkle with icing sugar, if you like.

German here.
I am not writing anything in my code in German. All of my code, my variables, my default texts, my comments, my documentation, my UI strings, etc. are always and explicitly in English.
The only German I use, is when I provide translations for UI or documentation.
It is also only open core and hides features behind a paywall.
