07:15 schestowitz; <p>I know it is not an open-source pick, but it gets all the lead with its tab management, customizability, and productivity features. And it treats me better than Firefox nowadays (Mozilla, we still need you to do better)</p>

18:47 schestowitz; Bringing Teams Together: "Space not used is space not needed"
18:47 schestowitz; Dear colleagues,
18:47 schestowitz; After implementation in the Isar Building, the administration intends to expand the project Bringing Teams Together to the other buildings in Munich and in the Hague. The aim appears to be to save on office space and make energy savings by closing parts of or whole EPO buildings. Line managers will be tasked to check history of presence of staff in the premises. The three-day rule for being eligible to an allocated fixed workplace will cease
18:47 schestowitz; to be a simple guideline and will become a strict criterion.
18:47 schestowitz; This paper gives more details about what we learnt about the plans of the administration.
