Was bekommt man, wenn man einen Geparden und eine Forelle kreuzt? Eine SEO-Legende. 🐆 Zum Artikel: heise.de/-10351670

Is anyone else having problems with the Amazon App? It is draining the battery on my iPhone and iPad at around 1% per minute! The devices also get very hot. What the heck have Amazon done to the app?

Lunch today, original VW Curru Bockwurst sausages

Dinner out tonight with my team. Zeitreise.gold is fabulous. Abendessen mit dem Team heute bei Zeitreise.gold, essen was hervorragend!

Why are companies so intent on alienating their customers? Surely they should be trying to keep them, not drive them away? https://www.thurrott.com/music-videos/318602/roku-tests-showing-users-auto-playing-video-ads-on-startup

Made the mistake of opening X this morning - started my alt browser, where X was still open. It seems more toxic than ever.

Und mehr muss man in diesen Zeiten von Trump und USA über #Palantir nicht mehr wissen... 😤

Again, European journalists are doing a better job of covering America's fall into fascism than America's are. Here, @DerSpiegel centers its coverage not on Trump but on whose he would victimize. (Headline via Google Translate) archive.ph/ZUXkZ

LOL Apple wants me to “upgrade” my iPhone 16 Pro to a 16e… Erm?🫤

Consider: "Sociopathic" is to show deceit, aggression, & a lack of empathy for others. - The inability to consider any worldview but your own. "Woke" is to show honesty, patience & empathy. - The desire to see the world as others. Those who are "anti-woke" are advocating for sociopathic behavior.

Final results: Merz can govern with just the SPD, which will make coalition building easier. But, and this is a big but: AfD and the Left have together won the seats needed for a “blocking minority” in Parliament. That will make things difficult, because ..

Super, Grippe hat mich erwischt. Bis 16 Uhr am zittern und eis kalt, jetzt ist mir heiß und ich bin am schwitzen. Hit by the flu today. I was one child and had the shivers until 4, now I’m too hot and sweating.

It is fascism. Calling it "an aggressive flexing of power" fluffs the Führer. Call this what it is, Baker. It is fascism. #BrokenTimes Trump 2.0 Heralds an Aggressive Flexing of Power www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/u...

The richest man in the world shutting down aid to the poorest and most in need is just everything you need to know about these appalling examples of garbage apnews.com/article/doge...

And the gulf is growing wider.

This is all about being cruel and marginalizing others. No one chooses to be trans or any other minority group for fun. It's way too hard living as a trans person, especially in America and none of the people perpetrating the cruelty are themselves hurt by the existance of trans people

Reading about vote in the Bundestag today that saw CDU leader Friedrich Merz pass a law with help of the far-right AfD. People seem shocked, not sure why. Since 2023, Merz has taken points, ideas, and now policies from the AfD. Yet, the coalition government was the problem...

Some people when they try to go to sleep, it's like their brain is a computer, and there are a lot of running processes, and it looks at each one - evaluating and resolving, and slowing shutdown as it handles each, and sometimes things block shutdown Me? It's like someone holds the power button

The Guardian, which I love, is usually The Journal of Moral Panic, so I'm all the more delighted to see this well-reported, reasonable examination of research on our relationship with technology.

Lovely afternoon swimming with the grandkids. A brisk walk to the pool in the rain, I wasn’t sure, whether I should change into my trunks at home or at the baths! 🤣

Heard a few stories about these far-right notes being used in a pathetic attempt to intimidate ordinary, decent people. The irony of course is that the note, as it declares who is and isn't German, manages to misspell "Ihr seid" as "Ihr seit", not once, but twice...

Snowing here, it will be a fun ride home this evening on my bike. Glad I have winter tyres on it!

I hate New Year. Worst day of the year. Idiots setting off fireworks since 10am, causing dog to be stressed out, causing wife to be stressed out & in a foul mood. Music & TV both blaring loud in lounge to try and drown out the fireworks. Headache, stressed & exhausted, and at least 2 hours to go...

Ich denke, die Enkelkinder haben ein Tonies-Problem!🤣🤣

Christmas lunch at daughter’s today. Chicken soup, venison ragout and roast venison, plus pumpkin soup and vegetarian pasta bolognese as vegetarian option. My wife spent most of yesterday preparing and we transported everything over this morning.

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse… ARD exposes rapist network for getting advice on how best to incapacitate women & rape them, also photos, videos & live streams. It doesn’t seem to have hit English press yet. www.tagesschau.de/investigativ...

It is interesting that nobody is mentioning that Apple has resurrected the ghost of Windows XP with the release of iOS 18.2. Having an iPhone and iPad for work and another set for home use, I've had to go through the "Windows XP" browser ballot 4 times this week!

Last day in Bitterfeld, then back home this afternoon. Lots of fun reconfiguring the network and installing two new UPS in the server room.

Christmas Tree is up…
