    Vitesse-Feyenoord (Dutch top league, Feyenoord is in second place). The pitch was shit, Vitesse played like butchers, but somehow Feyenoord managed to win anyway.

    Also, PSV (in first place, now ten points ahead) lost their first points this season in a draw against FC Utrecht, so the title race has become a bit more exciting.

    I don't think PSV will give up their lead, but apparently there is a way to not lose against them. Feyenoord and PSV are playing each other on Wednesday for the cup, so that's an exciting prospect.

    Also, try to analyze the problem from a broad perspective. If you always get stuck in a defensive position and then lose, try looking up theory for working from a defensive position. Or you can work improving your openings, so you take the initiative early on. There's loads of theory available online, so you don't have to do all the thinking yourself

    Look for the first obvious (unforced) error you made, and try to work on that. The rest of the game is influenced by that first error, so for now, it's a lot less relevant. E.g. it's more useful to focus on not losing your Queen unnecessarily than to practice being down a Queen.

    Looks like the laptop is the only computer, so the rest of the gear is connected to it. It's probably floating to save desk space, as he doesn't need the touchpad and keyboard.

    One of the main reasons I like using Mastodon for work is the fact that it's completely separate from the large social networks. It's only used by people who are committed to creating a new, better place. I don't think users of Threads (or Xitter, for that matter) would have anything to offer for me.

    It allows for more precise content filtering. Say you hate Star Trek but you like the people on the Star Trek instance, you can now solve that in one click

    Adding an option "Block all users from this instance" would be a good addition, though.
