In hell, every login is a 2-step login with a code via email.

I spent the past couple of weeks in what could only be defined as a state of mourning. For Democracy, for Freedom, for Europe, I don't know.

One of the best parts of not living in Italy anymore is not having to listen to any Italian music ever, unless I actively want to.

I think I haven't been as excited for a new episode of Severance since Twin Peaks: The Return.

AGI

Personally I think nothing exemplifies the plateauing of the console market more than Nintendo coming out with a "Console 2" 8 years after their previous major hardware release. I get its a handheld, but stuff like this makes me worried gaming is running out of ideas www.youtube.com/watch?v=itpc...

Love how WhatsApp makes it virtually impossible to distinguish read messages in grayscale mode.

Trust Germans to want to contact you by phone (in German) when you've done everything online just to avoid that very specific thing 💀

This is good to know, there's an adb flag to turn on the per-app language switcher on Android old.reddit.com/r/AndroidQue...

Me hearing that chappell roan is encouraging her fans to make AI images of her

Whoever at Google decided to replace the old "open" button (in app info) with the new "archive" button deserves a top tier spot in hell.

Amazon is ‘winding down’ some of its DEI programs

I don't really use TikTok that much, but I find it fascinating that our government is on the verge of banning an app for national security reasons that are still unclear in the same week that Meta, the largest social media company, says it's now fine to hate LGBTQ people and call us mentally ill.

Playing MiSide and it's a wild ride!

Love how the Dropbox web interface has an ✨ AI Transcript function for video files, but still doesn't let me use the baked-in subtitles.

Aaaand Instagram is gone. I wish I could also get rid of WhatsApp, but it's basically a monopoly in Europe.

Inflation hits hard man

My @planet.com pal just casually making games over the weekend 🫠 meanwhile I just have brunch

"Facebook and Instagram will instead rely on "community notes" from its users" Ah yes, the users who can't even recognize AI slop.

Help, I'm being held hostage by my boyfriend's home automation project.

I'm doing my best to avoid watching LinkedIn reels, and with my best I mean that I'm using absolutely zero effort.

I've had two GMaps reviews taken down for "defamation" (one of them wasn't even negative, 3 stars). Really sad to see how this trend is gaining traction in Berlin old.reddit.com/r/berlin/com... these people would literally rather sue people than take constructive criticism and improve their service.

This is not going to go anywhere for sure, but it also doesn't hurt: a call to ban fireworks nation-wide in Germany innn.it/boellerverbot

I'm feeling more excited about learning Spanish for a possible future move there than I've felt about learning German in two years.

It’s just as dumb as it looks

Went to visit the Museumwohnung WBS70, the last example of DDR Plattenbau in Berlin with all the original furniture and things from the era. Very interesting!

Wondering how many gym cards will I lose before the end of the year 💀

Someone stop Earth, I want to get off www.theverge.com/2025/1/3/243...

2024 was a shit year in many ways, but it also brought me a person I care about so deeply, that it kinda makes it even?

Wondering about the bureaucratic load of having David Byrne adopt me as nephew.

Looking forward to looking forward to going back to work

2025 vibe prediction fear: men with a hat yelling while doing reps at the gym

#Germany / #Berlin tip: if a Google Maps business has no 1/2-stars reviews, or very little compared to the total, avoid it like the plague since it probably means they challenge bad reviews and it will be absolutely awful.

Wow it does! This is very cool data

Germans like to complain about everything, but they still allow stuff like this to happen m.bild.de/news/inland/... #cantwaittoleavethiscity

Man this year never ends
