   It seems to miss the mark in other regions, but here in Denmark that is considered a bullseye joke :)

   Kudos! As oblivious bystander and no real tennis-knowledge apart from how the game is played, how much pressure will this put on China? How much weight does WTA carry? It will no doubt cause some media coverage no matter the outcome.

   I have the exact same problem. Never been good at telling stories. I have two recommendations for books: - Story Craft - Jack Hart - Story: Substance, Structure, Style - Robert McKee The first one focuses on non-fiction the other on fiction

   Can you help me understand what that means? Is it not possible to run it at the "full" resolution? Will it be scaled to what equates to the 1800x1169 that you mention? That would equate to less "real estate" than what I

   Thanks a lot for your thorough explanation. I was not aware of the gestures thing. Perhaps I will give it a try when I get a new laptop. Then I can always go back to Ubuntu if I do not like it.

    Thanks a lot for your description. Could you give me a little more information as to what you find better in GNOME 40? And perhaps what felt off with Ubuntu? Pipewire may be a candidate for a something that would make me switch, only becaus

    What are the advantages of Fedora over Ubuntu - if any? I have been using Ubuntu as my daily driver for a few years now, without complaints, but as I will be getting a new laptop in the near future I might consider other distros. Back when

    I have not seen the ad and hence speak somewhat uninformed. I will just present and alternate view. I think a lot of people will be unaware about the fact that in terms of sharing information with your ISP and others, you are no more secure

    I recently bought "Courage is calling", the newest book from Ryan Holiday. I actually quite liked "Obstacle.." and "Ego.." having read them some years ago. But I do not know. I feel like I somehow has gotten ol

    Absolute same for me. It challenged core beliefs which I had no idea ever would be. Thanks for the tip on the book.

    Appears that he had wrote more books than what I knew. What a positive revelation. The one I liked was "Debt". Do you have a link to the article about bullshit jobs?

    Debt: The first 500 years - I found it extremely interesting.

    Oh thank you SO much! I had missed all of that as well. There is a certain item for my wish list for Christmas. Really appreciate it.

    I had somehow missed that he died. What a shame. He wrote one of the most interesting, fascinating and influential books I have ever read.

    I use Firefox as my primary browser and has done so for years. I do not feel like I am missing out on something. But I will be interested to read the comments and suggestions from this thread.

    Absolutely. Have done and will do in the future. Rejected jobs from surveillance-companies, ad-tech companies etc. But I do not try to put myself on a higher moral horse than people who would take those jobs. I can say no because I have two

    It took a good 3-4 months for me find any remote joy in getting back to work. I was lucky not to be in a financial situation where I needed to work, so I could take some months off early without any real consequence.

    No question that most of us needs to have the ego take a backseat more often. But I cannot help but compare this to negotiation. It is a lot easier when you negotiate from a place of abundance. Negotiating salary is easier when you do not n

    The value of pop-science books is not in their scientific accuracy but their carry-over to everyday life. The overall points of Thinking Fast and Slow still stands whether backed by science or not.

    Thanks a lot for the list. "Luckily" not deal-breakers that would warrant a shift for me. I have been using Ubuntu without any complaints as daily driver for a year or so. But as I plan to get a new laptop in the future I contempl

    Sounds like you are overthinking and/or over engineering it. Unless CI or deploy/rollback functionality IS your product then it does not matter. Until you have got traction for your actual product then deployments can have 100 man

    Identity diversification. Don't be your job. Invest time and effort in people and activities outside of work. Having spent a lot of time working for financial institution I must also add, that they might be the least rewarding workplac
