    Die Atomkraftwerke waren Gelddruckmaschinen, weil ein erheblicher Teil der Kosten an den Steuerzahler abgedrückt werden konnte. EnBW und co hätten also durchaus ein Interesse daran, das weiterzuführen.

    Die ganzen Kohlemeiler gehen spätestens 2038 vom Netz. Bis dahin ist noch nicht mal das Planfeststellungsverfahren für ein neues AKW fertig.


  • I have no local thrift store, and the speakers you can find here are often too big. I just wanted small cheap speakers to listen to YouTube videos and essentially an extension cord to plug my (proper) headphones into.

    I mean, soundwise they’re fine. Not awesome, but for the price perfectly ok. It’s just that everything else is crap for no reason.


  • I bought a cheap set of speakers for my workshop PC.

    They have two buttons. One is the combined mode/on/off button. Short press turns it on, another short press cycles through different modes, which are not explained anywhere, but have different LED colors. One mode (line in) looks almost exactly like the red standby led, it just has a bit of a blue LED also lit. Pressing it long turns it off.

    The second button switches between a regular and a “speech bubble” mode. I’m not sure what that’s supposed to do. However, longpressing that button switches between speakers and headphones.

    Then there’s the volume knob. It’s extremely non-linear and has a delay of a second or two, so you have to be really precise. The volume knob is also not really synced to the headphone amp, so each time you put on headphones, you have to turn the volume like crazy, and then remember to turn it down again.

    And the maximum fuck you: the speakers are so lightweight, that they slip around when trying to press the buttons, so you always need two hands.

    Absolute garbage. Why are they going out of their way to create a worse product? It doesn’t make sense.

    I think you’re misrepresenting the comment.

    Depression as a medical term only applies to people who have objectively nothing to be depressed about. Nobody would (to turn it up to 11) argue that a concentration camp inmate has depression when he’s feeling like everything’s fucked, because very objectively, everything is fucked in his environment.

    The comment is instead about people who are thrown into a depressing, pointless situation they can’t escape, just like the prisoner, only much much milder. They see no future, because there truly is no future for them. Now, that would be horrible for society, because those people might start to question why exactly they’re in this situation. So as a bandaid, they get diagnosed. It’s not actually shit, you just see it like that, because you are sick. Here, take a pill. It’s gaslighting.

    The rolling Stones had a song about mother’s little helper 50 years ago. It’s not exactly new.





  • Meistens. Aber eben nicht immer.

    Und gerade in der beruflichen Kommunikation ist Präzision wichtig.

    Dezidiert und dediziert sind bspw. unterschiedliche Dinge, werden aber gerne durcheinander geworfen.

    Korrekte Rechtschreibung ist ein Distinktionsmerkmal. Aber aktuell unterscheidet die Unterschicht vom Rest. Wenn es mehr beigebracht wird, unterscheidet es die Oberschicht vom Rest. Fänd ich nicht so gut.



  • And that’s actually part of the problem: your title doesn’t mean anything.

    Not that you’re not leading, but what “lead” or “senior” actually means is completely arbitrary.

    In one project I’m lead in, I wrote maybe 5 lines of actual code, because I was in meetings, wrote documentation, did release management (well, I wrote pipelines here, but that’s like 200 lines), etc. The actual leg work was done by 4 or five other guys.

    But in another project, I’m lead of myself and another bloke, of course I’m writing code in that one.

    So it’s completely possible to have a bunch of guys with the “developer” tag on their title, but they’re not doing much developing.


  • Da wäre ich mir tatsächlich nicht so sicher. Gerade im beruflichen Kontext ist es ein Problem, wenn jemand schlecht schreibt, viele Fehler sind ja auch nicht direkt über die Rechtschreibprüfung korrigierbar.

    Ich habe zB einen Kollegen, der “sie” und “ihnen” immer klein schreibt und das ist mir schon aufgefallen.






  • Ich muss sagen ich find die These vom ARD Experten ganz schlüssig: den Kram vor Weihnachten selbst leaken, damit sich zur Wahl niemand mehr dran erinnert.

    Und das könnte sogar klappen, weil die FDP mit Sicherheit schon irgendein markradikales Thesenpapier im Schrank liegen hat und die Journalisten dumm genug sind, sich alle darauf zu stürzen.
