The track during the balcony scene from the first Blade Runner point-n-click adventure game. Came out in 1997. It’s Vangelis’ iconic Blade Runner Blues

Aliens. The second part was my first of the series.

Aliens. Must have been 12 or so. A boring sunday and my friend’s mom drove us to the cinema. (In Germany the movie was rated 16) but we didn’t bounce off at the desk. I was not exactly horrified, but so … thrilled. After that I dived a bit too deep into the H.R.Giger universe, I guess.

I’ve read the book first and that ruined a good portion of the following week. The basement scene still haunts me today. Honestly I don’t dare to touch the movie now …

1. Resiliance: No (electrical) power, no servers, no transactions, no (a bit exaggerated) society.
2. Full corporation surveillance. Even worse: Performed by unsupervised and proprietary algorithms.
3. Following 2) full governmental surveillance.

Cash, at least in europe. In my opinion that decision would mark one of the most epic political fails in recent history but I fear, that’s what’s going to happen.

Thank you. I still watch the end credits from time to time. Brings back these sweet eighties memories!

If someone can please make Autodesk stuff install and run under Wine, not saying Autodesk to deploy their stuff natively for Linux, I’d be gone with the blink of an eye. And I bet a lot of professionals too.

I’ve spent half a day yesterday to set up a VM running Debian on my office’s Win PC. Since I’m tied to Windows because of my proprietary CAD, my plan is to limit my interaction to a minimum and instead do everything else in the Linux-VM. With shared drives and drag’n’drop I hope it will work out. It comes in also very handy that I started years ago to strictly choose open source software that’s available for both platforms - so no learning curve. Since MS won’t listen - we all need to laudly complain about the lack of linux support towards our software providers. And yes, maybe too naïve, it will change something in the long run.
