  • There’s the saying: “write drunk, edit sober”, that’s probably falsely attributed to one author or the other.

    I wouldn’t recommend drinking, but although I’m not a writer, sometimes hyperfocus has a similar trippy energy for me. So I guess the advice to use that energy and focus on putting text on paper and iron it out afterwards is kinda comparable.










  • a) davon aus, dass ein “Zivildienst” im Handwerk keine Option, sondern ein Zwang ist und

    Ist es ja per se. Ich weiß nicht ob du von der Wehrpflicht betroffen warst, aber die Konstruktion, die wir hatten war, dass man primär zum Wehrdienst gezwungen war. Den konnte man, mit Begründung aus Gewissensgründen verweigern, war dann aber gezwungen einen Wehrersatzdienst, aka Zivildienst zu leisten. Und wo man den ableistet durfte das Amt einem vorschreiben. Es war defacto ein Zwangsdienst. Gelebte Praxis war zwar, dass man sich selbst eine Stelle aussuchen konnte und das Amt die idR. genehmigt hat, aber das ändert nichts daran, dass es per Design ein Zwangsdienst war.

    Man muss davon ausgehen, dass darauf Bezug genommen wird, wenn davon die Rede ist, Zivildienst im Handwerk zu leisten.

    Es gab zwar auch die Option, anstelle eines Zivildienstes ein freiwilliges ökologisches/soziales Jahr zu machen oder sich bei Feuerwehr oder THW zu verpflichten, aber das war eben nicht der sogenannte Zivildienst.

    Zustimmung allerdings zu b). Hab Zivi gemacht und mich dadurch gegen nen Sozialberuf entschieden. Es ist nur eine Etappe.
    Auf der anderen Seite bin ich nun auch kein Nobelpreisträger geworden, also wer weiß…





  • Yup. “Linux sucks” was how I encountered the guy; he seemed like a friendly, goofy guy. Had a lot of fun watching his Lunduke journal videos regularly back then and they went along well with my beginner’s journey into the Linux world. He always seemed a bit politically naive and tryhard centrist/apolitical, whenever something remotely political came up.

    Then I lost track of him for a while, maybe during one of his attempts to ditch youtube altogether. When I came back a few months into the pandemic: boy did this guy get off the rails!

    It really saddened me to see, what had become of him.



  • Can’t tell if it is for the ad-girl. But I have to mention, that - ACKSHUALLY - this is not happening because of the focal length, but because of perspective, i.e. the distance between camera and subject.

    In order to achieve the same framing on a subject, like the dude in that GIF did, with different focal lenghts, you have to adjust how far away you stand.

    So for practical purposes, especially for portrait photography the focal length kinda forces you to do that, but it’s not the cause of perspective distortion.

    You could achieve the same effect, by taking the sameish picture with a wide angle lens and moving away from the subject with each shot and then cropping the foto to get the framing/field of view to fit the first pic in sequence. Of course you lose resolution and image quality that way, so it’s not recommended.


  • I’m not claiming, that it’s a well thought out system. It’s just what I do.

    Closing windows is a thing I try to avoid, but if it happens, there’s always my browser history that allows me to resurrect a few of them. (This is all happening in firefox btw. though I use different browsers on special occasions, for example if a website doesn’t support the gecko engine very well)

    I avoid closing windows because it still makes me nervous because this used to mean they were hard to recover and that fear is deeply ingrained in the back of my mind.

    Using several windows is a way to keep tabs separated, because I lose track when I have to scroll through them. I could use tab groups for that, but meh… It also allows me to have them on different screens for stuff where I need to look up several things simultaneously.

    sometimes I’m a bit overwhelmed by the number of windows though. But I’m too deep into it to change my habits. Wouldn’t recommend it though.

    All I’m saying is, that my PC doesn’t mind at all.
