Jo, gab dann noch einige Streitereien, ob jetzt durchgängig Sommer- oder Winterzeit, bzw. ob man dann die Zeitzonen-Grenzen verschieben sollte, und dann kam COVID-Energiekrise-Inflation-KI-Nazis.

The closest thing I know is an impossible bottle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impossible_bottle

It has quite some limitations, but maybe you can find someone who does impossible bottles and they can tell you, if it can be done.

Sure, but that is a really lengthy process. Reddit would really like to avoid that, too. They want the moderators to be good little slaves and nothing more.

Probably already plenty solutions here, but wanted to throw in that pillows filled with spelt, millet or similar keep their shape pretty well, so you can push in with two fingers to carve out a little hole for your ear and then you can just wear normal earbuds.

I use Fish as my shell. It's got some really nice convenience features, without needing customization, which I find useful. If I'm working in a VM or some server for a bit longer, I'll often just install the fish package and have my normal level of (good) usability.
Downside is that Fish uses somewhat different syntax than Bash, so I can't just copy-paste more complex commands into there. But yeah, then you'll see me run bash, then the complex command in there, and then I'll exit back out of there.

For the shell prompt, I'm using Starship with a bit of a custom theme, based on their Gruvbox Rainbow preset:

So, what it shows there is:

• the exit-code, if it's non-zero
• the duration how the long the command took, if it's longer than a few seconds
• the timestamp when that command finished
• the path where I'm in
• the Git branch and whether I've got changes that are uncommitted, stashed etc., if I'm in a directory with Git repo
• the toolchain in the repo that I'm in

I also use light theme in the terminal. Sue me. 🙃

You must've caught my comment shortly before I snuck that "non-security" into there. 🙃

• Make your career and personal relationships so fulfilling that the mere idea of needing to watch movies and TV shows for entertainment starts to seem utterly ridiculous.

Damn, I thought this was a satire magazine, not a spitting-straight-facts magazine.

Slowroll can alleviate that pain, if you're fine with non-security updates being delayed by up to six weeks or so.

Finde ich gut. Bin Software-Entwickler und bei den Projekten, an denen ich bisher beteiligt war, da haben wir immer ein Minimum an Accessibility umgesetzt bekommen, aber nur weil wir Entwickler das in einer kontinuierlichen U-Boot-Aktion auf eigene Faust gemacht haben.
Von Management- oder Kunden-Seite hat noch nie jemand gefragt, ob wir Accessibility machen.

Worauf ich mich nicht so sehr freue: Bei Security gibt es ja schon länger Anforderungen, dass wir das machen müssen, und das interessiert das Management ca. einmal im Jahr, wenn sie auf ihr Dashboard schauen, wo ihr total intelligenter Scanner auflistet, wie viele Code-Abhängigkeiten out-of-date sind.
Die Software kann scheunenweit offen im Internet stehen, aber so lange der Scanner nichts böses sagt, kommt niemand auf uns zu. Einiges von dem was wir Security-mäßig tun, ist immer noch per U-Boot-Aktion.

Wobei sich zumindest eine Sache im Security-Kontext deutlich gebessert hat: Das Management ganz oben hat wirklich gar kein Bock auf die Strafen.
Also auch wenn das mittlere Management zu sehr damit beschäftigt ist, den Kapitalismus zu beglücken, kann ich das notfalls eskalieren und dann bekommen die ordentlich eines auf den Deckel. Dessen ist sich das mittlere Management auch bewusst und hört tatsächlich auch zu, wenn man sagt, dass wir eine nicht verantwortbare Schwachstelle haben.

Translation:

The tape across his mouth says "Redeverbot", which roughly means "gag order" or "ban on talking/speaking".

The bottom text says:

Einer allein von 2000 Millionen Menschen der Erde darf in Deutschland nicht reden!

Which translates to:

Only one of 2000 million humans on Earth is not allowed to talk in Germany!

Apparently, it's like Smash Bros in the Ubisoft universe, except it's a first-person shooter.
So, you got different factions from Far Cry, Splinter Cell etc. with which you can play...

Speaking as a software engineer, it's usually a combination of things.

The root of all evil is that yes, fixing that thing doesn't just take one hour, as it should, but rather a few days. This is mostly preventable by having sufficient automated tests, high code quality and frequent releases, but it's a lot of work to keep up with. And you really need management to not pressure early feature delivery, because then devs will skip doing necessary work to keep up this high feature-delivery velocity.

Well, and as soon as such a small fix has a chance of taking more than a day or so, then you kind of need to talk to management, whether this should be done.
Which means probably another day or so of just talking about it, and a good chance of them saying we'll do it after we've delivered this extremely important feature, which usually means 'never', because there is always another extremely important feature.
