What is Bill McKibben's academic background to be considered an expert? According to Wikipedia, he has written a few books but has otherwise only been active as an activist. The foundation seems a bit thin to me, but I'm happy to be convinced otherwise.

My technical focus is on the operation of custom appliances in various (cloud) environments. Therefore, please bear in mind that I have a very limited view of the various functionalities in the cloud environment. The advantage is that I have basically performed the same task in all three environments.

tl;dr: Azure is crap, GCP is mid, AWS is best

Core problems in Azure: 1) opaque IAM policies 2) Slow, unresponsive and bloated frontend 3) Basic tasks such as reboot sometimes take forever 4) When using the azure cli tool, you have completely unusable response times, sometimes simple tasks such as adding or removing IPs to NICs take up to 3 minutes 5) Documentation mostly useless 6) Installation of some bloated Windows tools (e.g. waagent) on Linux appliances (can certainly be avoided, but is probably activated by default, known Microsoft foolishness) 7) Some Microsoft peculiarities also lead to such strange problems that the ssh login is sometimes not possible for 10-40 minutes after a restart of the sshd

I started in Azure and worked with it for about a year, then I worked with AWS for the first time and was thrilled. The syntax of the CLI tool is intuitive and the frontend reacts to CLI commands within seconds. Everything is well documented and I was able to find helpful resources for almost every error I encountered. And by helpful I mean that I had to read ONE article to solve the problem. No comparison to hours of research for any Azure problems.

Google is definitely not bad, especially things like automated network configuration were easier in my experience, but I find the front end more confusing. Overall though, the experience is comparable to AWS.

My only advice: Don't use Azure. I regularly have to suppress the urge to take a bath with my toaster after having to work with it.

CP are not words, that is a completely different area. Here, too, it is questionable whether this can be regulated by the state at all. But of course there is a need for investigative authorities who at least try to look into it. But do we necessarily need preventive censorship and breaking up E2E communication on WhatsApp? These are the ideas for regulating such things.

There is no need to regulate legal pornography.

With terrorism, e.g. propaganda, it is difficult. But in the end, the idea of freedom of information prevails. Of course, platforms should have the ability to regulate violent content (e.g. ISIS beheading videos), but we shouldn't give the state the ability to regulate that, because the definition of terrorism can be expanded very quickly if necessary.

For me, it's mainly a reasonable independent division of working hours.

I have no problem working 14 hours into the night as long as I don't have to be there at 10 a.m. sharp every day and have to organize my entire life around my job. Sometimes you have other appointments during the day and I want to keep them without having to discuss it too much. Sometimes there are just shitty days when you want to finish work early. That should also be possible without being tied to a strict time limit. Of course, the bottom line is that you should be able to work the agreed working hours, but at your own pace. I'm currently in a job like this and tend to work 5-10 hours more per week as a result. Of course, I work from home, otherwise it wouldn't be possible.

How do you usually discover new games?

> If it's not a well-known series where I'm waiting for the sequel, it's usually through YouTube videos or articles about a new game that sounds interesting.

What are aspects of games that you enjoy?

> Mainly the gameplay. Graphics, when done well, create an authentic atmosphere. This also includes things like suitable textures (example: In a medieval game, I find highly polished wall textures rather inappropriate, it has to look a bit dirty and old). Apart from that, it is now important to me that there is mod support and ideally a community. That way, I can play games that I really like for longer once I've finished the normal content. Apart from that, it's very variable and depends on the type of game. In an RPG I want character development and lots of items, in a shooter I want cool gunplay, in an RTS I want lots of tactical options that really affect the game.

Do you think finding new games to play is easy? If not, what do you wish was easier to find new games?

> It's easy, the whole internet is full of suggestions. There are in-depth videos on almost every game. If you ignore most AAA publishers, you can even have fun with your games.

What's your most recent favorite game? How did you find that game?

> Call to Arms - Gates of Hell: Ostfront (WW2 RTS) and 7 Days to Die (my wet dream of a zombie game, especially because of the super cool basebuilding possibilities)
