No amount of good colleagues can make up for a bad boss. Been there.

One of the directors of that documentary got involved with the cult NXIVM.

Well, I left reddit and now I am here.

Sounds like bad news for the local newspaper.

If you dread Sundays because the next day is Monday. If you find yourself thinking “getting sick for a few days would not be so bad…”. If you just stare at the screen and can no longer focus on the task at hand. If you struggle to fall asleep because you keep thinking about work, and not in a “working through a difficult problem” way. Struggling to wake up in the morning, and when you do, not feeling well-rested. Excessive drinking. Your mind taking you to dark places. Feeling like you carry the weight of the world on your shoulders and if you drop out, things go to shit.

Don’t feed the trolls.

I love all four seasons, it’s usually the darkness and wind that gets me. But nothing that a bit of vitamin D can’t help fix.

If you like Kate Ryan’s version I can also recommend the original by Mylène Farmer.

I can HEAR this comment.

There is dignity in contributing to society, I do something I’m reasonably good at and therefore enjoy doing, my colleagues are friendly and decent people, it puts a roof over my head, food on the table, and something in the piggy bank for a rainy day.

Nice first episode. Kind of want to go to Nantes now.

Vivaldi is a great browser. I don’t love that is Chromium-based, but it’s honestly the only problem I have with it.

For search I use Kagi. It’s American, but it’s so much better than anything else for me that I haven’t made the switch to Qwant yet.

My own, not so much. But I love celebrating other peoples’ birthdays.

From other hand we don’t like major corporations here on fediverse

It’s perfectly fine to have your own opinion.

As for myself, I’m not opposed to major corporations per se and for that reason, no moral issues with investing as a whole. Currently my money is invested in an all-world ESG fund that includes a large exposure to the US. I’m not entirely comfortable with it but haven’t decided yet if I want to move my funds, and to which alternative.

My current sitch is that (at least at home, work is an entirely different question) I was able to delete my Google account last year. That said, I’m in the Apple ecosystem, which made things a lot easier. I do check Youtube occasionally, but without an account and with Vivaldi’s built-in adblocker working well. I’m aware that Vivaldi is Chromium-based, which is a trade-off I have accepted for myself.
