Hot take... If we need to move everything to electricity to achieve carbon neutrality, cars boilers etc, why not make that dirt cheap instead of forcing people to "buy more stuff" Who wouldn't move to electric heating if it was cheaper....

I am always super proud to be working for @nanopore, we do amazing things... But the geek inside me is just stupidly happy we have our own pokestop 😍😍

@mipsytipsy Speaking from experience, i love helping and mentoring but hate managing and task driving So I can definitely see how people focused managers would gravitate towards things like that Focus on your strengths without having to constantly mitigate your weaknesses 😳😁😁😁

whenever I hear that someone has decided to leave their job and become a leadership coach or life coach or whatever, my insta reaction is "oh no, that's so sad! they gave up 😕". which is possibly unfair...😬

@iiSeymour Back to magsafe gets a huge amount of love from me 😁😁

Huge updates across the board for the MacBook Pro with M1 Pro/Max silicon #AppleEvent

@cynthiagibas @nanopore We are always happy to help :D

@bankes1989 @BellaItalia_UK They phoned me twice, clearly because I'm special..... ... And maybe because I booked 2 tables for Sunday evening (old people and teens at separate tables ;) )

Personally I have no interest in football, but I love that I got a call from @BellaItalia_UK to say they are closing their restaurants early so ALL their employees can watch the match or just have time off. I think that's an amazing thing to do and should be celebrated 🥳🥳

@WSLTP I always just ask "what do you love doing?" or "what makes you smile?" to give them a chance to talk about things they think are cool :D

How do I get thru the part between saying hello to someone new and talking about things that I think are cool

@pathogenomenick I had one a while back on a dating site, so I asked what do you think of turtles and got back "turtles are amphibious creatures, but that's no what I wanted to talk about" ... so close but so far and obviously hadn't been introduced to blade runner 🤣

That thing where you are messaging customer service and you are 90% sure it’s a bot but you can’t be quite sure and you start throwing in some Turing test questions just for larks

@Gaohmee Brilliant question 😁 I would have 2 answers One I enjoyed working for the most And one I arguably did better work for (because of how I was pushed/pulled) I guess I would probably mix the two, but that's kinda cheating and probably not even possible 🤣

Gamedev and other professionals: Do you know what kind of leadership style you work best under? Have you sat with yourself and analyzed if you accept that leadership style no matter the gender of the leader? I think it's a good exercise for anyone to debate with yourself.

@hpcprogrammer @ipapadop I think it's because once you are separated you would rather cut your own arm off that record yourself as married 😁 And you are not allowed to say divorced

We are looking for a Computational Biologist / Bioinformatician #hiring #techjobs ejnh.fa.em2.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candidat…

@DerekLandy You just have to out run your problems long enough for the lion to catch them and not you .. and if all else fails, distract them with cheese 😁

... not that running away from my problems ever does me any good. I'm really not that fit, so they catch up pretty soon, and they're always wearing better trainers than I am, and they tend to gloat about it...

Okay, I'm going for a run now! I'M RUNNING AWAY FROM MY PROBLEMS!

@Gaohmee I think people do this with any job they don't do, but think they can. Like writing, after all everyone can type 😂 Two friends who took a computer game course quit because it was "all maths and physics" If you think the solution is easy, you dont know enough about the problem

For crying out loud man. Y’all need to stop calling devs lazy when we work cost-efficiently - re-using technology and parts of older work is a perfectly normal thing to do. You can’t pretend to care about crunch culture and ALSO bash us for working smart.

@UridiumAuthor My favourite error is still 'no keyboard detected, press F1 to continue' 🙄🤣🤣

Error messages such as "System error has occurred." are not real error messages. What is the actual system error? Help me to diagnose and fix the problem. Where would you start investigating with a message like that?

@karengillan 100% @maisiehpeters .. I've been listening to her since so appeared on you tube, incredible voice and lyrics/music perfect for uplift or heartbreak 😍

Good lord I need new music. Been listening to the same songs over and over. Any recommendations???

@mipsytipsy That is now one of my favourite life mottos, not just a tech comment 😁

why rules can never replace good judgment

@evolutionalgd Good luck, you deserve a great game company to work for 😁

@alanrenouf Wait you are finally goong back to 'just reality'?

As I leave the VR team today there was no better way to have a leaving party than a game of VR Paintball. Awesome times with this team #ProjectVXR
