It is, I guess it's depending what you wish to achieve. I'm a independent software consultant based in Germany (no employees etc, also not selling any SaaS or anything) and I've got a liability insurance to cover any mess ups.
Well, parents could also set some ground rules for iPad usage and enforce them! I don't think another screen is a good solution to get someone off a screen. You can just play a normal board game with the kids.
We are talking about a splinter party (BSW) from the main left party (Die Linke) which is a kind of anti-woke- and anti-immigration-party that spouts basically the normal Kremlin propaganda lines about Ukraine. There is of course anti-US sentiment there since is secondary to their main issue, peace at any cost so that Germany can get cheaper energy again.
Note that I'm not a German national but I live in Germany (former DDR / East) since 9 years.
This really took me back. Back then before Git was a big thing (2010/2011-ish) I had the misfortune to work at a very large user of IBM Rational ClearCase and it was so awful. However it was so bad and so expensive that I managed to get tasked to "fix it". As part as figuring out how to do this I travelled to GitTogether 2011 from Sweden. Lots of Git folks from those days where there, at least I remember Junio, Peff and Shawn Pearce being there. I was so energised from it all I went back and formed a small team that migrated a colossal code base (oh the horror stories I have) over to Git over the next 2 years. The most rewarding thing I did early in my career.
So thank to all of you that made this possible by creating Git, Gerrit and all the life saving tools this industry was missing! The passing of Shawn Pearce was really sad, but he won't be forgotten!
