Ik kom hier later uitgebreid op terug. Mijn ervaring zal misschien eerder anekdotisch zijn, maar in mijn geval stak het bediendenloon wel degelijk mijn ambtenarenloon voorbij. En nog geen beetje wanneer ik alle extralegale voordelen netto doorreken.Welke sector biedt de meeste extralegale voordelen? “Nee, bediendeloon steekt dat van ambtenaar niet voorbij” | Stijn Baert | hln.behttps://archive.is/2025.05.20-062827/https://www.hln.be/mijn-geld/welke-sector-biedt-de-meeste-extralegale-voordelen-nee-bediendeloon-steekt-dat-van-ambtenaar-niet-voorbij~a10a9ce7/

Spiegel (Germany): The Nazi Death Machine Hitler's Drugged SoldiersThe Nazis preached abstinence in the name of promoting national health. But when it came to fighting their Blitzkrieg, they had no qualms about pumping their soldiers full of drugs and alcohol. Speed was the drug of choice, but many others became addicted to morphine and alcohol. https://www.spiegel.de/international/the-nazi-death-machine-hitler-s-drugged-soldiers-a-354606.html#history

Realized I now have the skills to tailor all those button down shirts that never fit me!Only problem is, I don't ever wear button down shirts anymore (so seldomly, I only realized last week that the dress shirt I wore to a college graduation a year ago was still crumpled up in the bottom of the garment bag.) #sewing

Mastodon doing mastodon things.Dieser Thread ist mal wieder eine Sammlung von Antworten von Leuten, welche die Aufgabenstellung nicht gelesen haben. Nein, niemand hat euch nach eurer Lieblingsdistribution gefragt. Und ja klar, mit genug konfigurieren kann man auch unter Arch oder Ubuntu spielen, aber wenn die Aufgabe primär ein Spielesystem ist, gibt es relativ offensichtliche "richtige" Antworten. Und das wären halt die aktuell populärste Distribution die versucht SteamOS nachzueifern und das ist gerade Bazzite. Es funktioniert und hat genug Nutzer, dass man mit Problemen nicht alleine da steht.(Cc @n_to )https://social.tchncs.de/@n_to/114549898965379717

Hi Fedi, ich habe eine #Linux #Gaming Frage: Unser Kind darf ab und zu auf einem 10 Jahre alten Gaming-Laptop zocken. Jetzt endet bald der Windows10-Support und ich würde das gerne auf Linux umstellen. Ich suche also eine Distro, die möglichst wartungsarm ist und maximal gut Steam unterstützt. Was würdet Ihr da nehmen? Per Default hätte ich Ubuntu gesagt, aber vielleicht geht das besser? Ich möchte halt etwas haben, wo ich möglichst wenig nachkonfigurieren muss und wo keine "Überraschungen" durch Updates entstehen. Persönlich nutze ich Arch/EndeavourOS, aber das wäre mir für das Kindergerät zuviel Aufriss. Ich bin auch völlig fein mit proprietären Treibern: Es geht hier nicht um libre, sondern darum, dass das Altgerät möglichst lange noch genutzt werden kann.Was würde Ihr empfehlen?

Bear spotted in Moorpark, California (!)."....Posted on: May 19, 2025Bear Sightings Reported in MoorparkThe City of Moorpark Animal Control Division has received several reports during the past two weekends of a bear in the North Moorpark area, near the intersection of Spring Road and Walnut Canyon Road. In both instances, the bear left the reported area and was thought to have returned to more remote areas. Bears, along with mountain lions, are occasionally seen in Moorpark, usually in areas near open wild spaces. ..."https://moorparkca.gov/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=1893#bears #wildlife #VenturaCounty #Moorpark
