The leadership can block anything they want on a work-supplied device. They might get the Works Councils on board but generally they can.

However they can not reduce private social life to zero at work [1]. And there the employees are guaranteed privacy. NB: This was pre GDPR.

This however does not go so far, that people must be allowed private chatting apps on work phones. They can and should use their private phones.

Apple told EU Citizens thats why they cant have Siri on their Phone as AI; they would have to provide an Interface where you can plug in your own LLM of your chosing.

Oh, it solves two problem at once: overpaying wages and overdelivery of quality.

You just have to get the input coefficient right. The least amount of acceptable quality with the least amount of costs is the sweet spot. /s

Even their Office Suite runs okay in the Web. For heavy lifting, like getting an md file into our Corporate Design, I still use libreoffice combned with our template.

It's central vs decentralisation.

The electricy is consumed in the houses and not on the empty land.

Parking lots become a win-win with electric cars. They also keep the cars cleen and sun protected.

It is very methodical. Starting out on why you shouldn't kill yourself, as a real debate. And yes all the arguments have been made before. He tries to build up from first principals. I think he tried to walk a fine line between the physical suicide and the philosophical suicide.

Ten more years and our tricks become the ancient practices and rituals of the olden hack0rs; stuff like apt update and apt upgrade on a fresh server. Some of the most ancient even use apt-get, while the really old ones will scold you for using Ubuntu

This is also my first impulse. The second was, if this happened to me, I would not be able to recover it. All the custom c tool talk... If you ask Claude Code it will code something up.

Well that he recovered the disks is amazing in itself. I would have given up and just pulled a backup.

However, I would like to see a Dev saying: why didn't you use the --<flag> which we created for this Usecase

This would have greatly helped me. I always was at a loss which trick I had to apply to solve this exam problem, while knowing the mathematics behind it. Just at some point you had to add a zero that was actually a part of a binomial that then collapsed the whole fromula
