If it is a Zoom meeting, than I just allow myself to run around the room, listening to the meeting on the background.

Otherwise, if it is an in-person meeting, I do lots of things

• watch around, try to make notes of important things
• practice active listening, trying to validate my understanding by parahprasing statements I heard as questions to validate correctness of my understanding. Even if I can't ask them — I write them down, this also forces the muscle memory to make me recall more
• if it is a presentation, I sometimes run further ahead, riding the content like waves — so when presenter gets to some point,

The most important thing, though, always is to accept the fact that you can miss some parts. Neurotypicals miss bits and pieces of information too — they just don't think it is a bad thing, so it is fine if you miss something, or hear something incorrectly. It is completely fine to ask to repeat something, or to get some information later by asking your colleagues.

AFAIK nginx was originally created by a russian, then opensourced.

Though, now, I cannot care less for russian products, not since 24.02.2022.

Awesome, I've been watching this game development — it is really a great one. I enjoyed playing demo so much times, great it is released finally!

I like systemd overall. The ease of use, uniform interface and nice documentation is awesome.

Though each time I try to run it on outdated hardware (say, my Thinkpad X100e, which is, well, a life choice xD) — it makes whole system much slower. IMO, openrc is not as bad, and in some ways it gives some capabiilties of systemd these days.

Country has to make a promise to switch to Euro, but there is no deadline whatsoever :)

Recently bought and playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R the legends series. I am extremely pleased by quality of the release and the experience I am having!

I usually do that approach with multiplication of big numbers and square root calculation. Usually make it at most 10% error, which I consider quite a win :)

Was worth for me to upgrade 64GiB to 1TiB :)

Black Mesa, Witcher 3 on high graphics quality setup. Generally, I tend to lower the quality just to increase the battery life: anyways I usually don't notice very much of graphical improvement on high setup.

Yeah, having ability to make installation medium smaller by stripping away unused hi-res textures would be a really nice product feature.

I just a bit skeptical with having an old game requiring exponential increase hardware requirements with improvements limited just for some visuals. On the other hand, it could be WarCraft 3: Reforged situation, so, I guess now it is more of a “there is always space for improvement” situation.

Having a tiny bit of slow-work time at an office, after I got almost burned out under unrealistic deadlines pressure.

Hoping it’ll get better for you!
