By mistake I uploaded the same picture twice, and while all vague, the descriptions and ”data” were wildly different.

E.g. first time I was an extrovert, second time introvert… About the only thing that stayed the same was ”heterosexual”, but that’s a statistically safe guess.

So the waymo driver is dreaming, testing out different scenarios, basically…

Which you also do… if we’re really being honest about it.

So, reading the documentation in the [repo](https://gitlab.opencode.de/bmi/opendesk/deployment/opendesk/...) it’s immediately made clear that you should use the Enterprise Edition for production use. (Since the German state is behind this, why not focus on totally free software for production use?)

But what really surprised me are statements like this in the README:

” Nextcloud Enterprise: openDesk uses the Nextcloud Enterprise to the build Nextcloud container image for oD EE. The Nextcloud EE codebase might contain EE exclusive (longterm support) security patches, plus the Guard app, that is not publicly available, while it is AGPL-3.0 licensed.

And

COOL Controller container image and Helm chart: Source code and chart are using Mozilla Public License Version 2.0, but the source code is not public. It is provided to customers upon request. ”

This, according with other paragraphs describing percentages of free and non-free code in certain components really makes me wonder…

After seeing this example, I think this is the elevator pitch: ”We take your personal highlights and make them as generic and impersonal as possible.”

(Sorry, article is in german, it’s about laser-engraved fruits and vegetables. I’ve seen a few in the stores around here… (Switzerland))

It’s like when you think of something that will never exist, because it is just too absurd. However, this guy not only has an even more absurd idea, he also brings it into existence and shows why it’s a great idea to build a sustainable future!

The art(?) collective MSCHF has come up with an interesting voting game, apparently based on an Athenian custom.

From the announcement:

——

In ancient Athenian ostracism, citizens would come together once a year and vote to banish one person from the city, on pain of death, for the next 10 years.

In MSCHF Plays Venmo, the sole winner of the "popular vote" wins the prize pool.

Those who receive the "ostracism vote" get banned from the game for life.

——

Will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Sounds really interesting! Just one question, do you hire non-us remote workers? (EU time zone)

> And try to not let my groin fall asleep.

I was "forced" into biking a few years ago (had an injury that prevented running) and had the same problem with the groin. I thought it was a natural thing with biking, but it can actually be quite bad for you in the long run, and it's very fixable! Sitting position and saddle makes a huge difference. Ofc position is the cheaper thing to fix, but saddle is easier.

Go to a bike shop and explain the problem and they'll help you find a saddle that fits you, don't go on with getting your groin numbed.

I can't get it to work via remote debugging on iOS. Neither on Safari on the Mac, I notice. Are there any feature flags I have to enable?

You know, shooting demons, solving mysteries, jumping over koopas, that kind of thing…
