TFW you realize that slowly, one follow after another, you have built yourself your perfect little social media bubble on Mastodon. Still remember how empty everything felt at first, coming from the bird site. It takes effort, but it's very much worth it. A huge thank you too all you weird […]

Meiner Schwester ist die Wohnung wegen Eigenbedarf gekündigt worden. Falls jemand jemanden kennt oder selbst etwas hat, sie sucht eine 2-3 Zimmer Wohnung in Hamburg. Ihr könnt mir erstmal alles anbieten bis 1200 EUR, falls ihr was habt oder findet. RT wäre Zucker.

Anyone else feeling like this? Is it the same with other professions?

Anyone know of anywhere that's hiring that might be interested in a Billie? I am based in Germany and enjoy Rust, XP and Agile environments. Do a bit of public speaking now and again.

Late to the party, but we got ourselves an Andromeda's Edge (https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/358661/andromedas-edge) at Spiel Essen and gave it a try today. Impressed by how smoothly it flows despite the large number of systems and concepts. Oh, and it barely fit the (rather large) table 😅 […]

Heyyy, können wir uns auf was einigen? Wenn wir uns hier gegenseitig Fragen stellen, lasst uns keine Antworten von ChatGPT rein kopieren.
