Most companies I worked with had a choice of the work laptop, usually Windows/Linux or MacBook. And the trick is, you cannot buy cheap MacBook. So the choice is using linux but with a terrible screen, unusable trackpad and bad hardware, or take MacBook and enjoy all premium.
So I always take MacBook and then ask for a local workstation where I will have linux with i3 / Sway WM.
This piece of interview with Roger Corman on Joe Dante's work on trailers is my fawourite:
"Were there any elements that you had to tell Dante to tone down?
Not really. There was one memorable moment when Joe showed me a trailer for a picture just before lunch. I said, “Joe, it’s alright, but it isn’t quite as exciting as I would like it to be.” He said, “Let me work on it through lunch.” I came back after lunch, and it was exactly the same trailer, trimmed a little bit, with an exploding helicopter. I said, “Joe, that’s an exploding helicopter from a war picture we shot in the Philippines!” He said, “Well, don’t you think it helps the trailer?” It did. It was great. And I thought about it for a little while, and I figured, there’s no law that says every scene in a trailer has to be in the picture. So we left it in. After that, whenever Joe had a dull moment in a trailer, he would add the exploding helicopter."

Did you like this joke? Look here for more. Oh no, you are fediversed now, oh well.
Friend comes over to Europe for a month from Saudi Arabia where he gets his PhD now. He will work, study and we will travel to Netherlands for a week. Instead of renting a bike for a month we decided to buy used one, service it ourselves and then sell it or just gift to someone who would use it and love it. All together we will spend less than €50. And it's so much fun!
I think it's genius and should be part of the sustainable travel culture.
Random photo of a train model to click bait 😜
Most people don't care about ethics /politics or the networks and corporations. They will use what's convenient — familiar facebook where friends and family already are, instagram where you get (this frustrates me the most) announcements from cool places about events, twitter where shitshtorms and instant news happen and so on.
None of my friends moved or know about Fediverse. Some heard about Mastodon.
Someone has been spamming random pixels on Ukrainian flag as well. I reported that as soon as bad intent was clear and so far so good. Hopefully works for you as well.
Om-nom-nom
We must not be tolerant to intolerance is the basis for me.
Please report all such issues to webcompat.com
Many european countries have great immigration laws and opportunities. Some companies will offer relocation assistance and reimbursment. It's a challange, but it's possible.
Just please leave your cars behind :)
Something that I haven't seen mentioned on this topic:
having a spare charged battery with you also have so much more sense than carrying a powerbank. No losses transferring power to phone, no excessive heat, MUCH lighter.
This is what we have for radios (walkie-talkies), drones, cameras, but not for phones, where we really need this.
I watched Star Trek: The Next Generation first, then Deep Space 9, then started Voyager, but it wasn't as good IMHO.
Now watching select episodes from The Original Series, select episodes from Voyager, Strange New Worlds and Lower Decks.
