I used to be a big fan of Mozilla’s Firefox browser. Now I read about For Advertising Firefox Now Collects User Data By Default. Learning about stuff like this makes it hard to continue to trust them. What are the alternatives? Going back to Safari? Not sure about what to do.
One more Ed Zitron quote
I hate to be that guy, but it’s all beginning to remind me of the nebulous roadmaps that cryptocurrency con artists used to offer. What’s the difference between OpenAI vaguely suggesting that “Strawberry” will “give LLMs reasoning” and NFT project Bored Ape Yacht Club’s roadmap that promises a real-life clubhouse in Miami and a “top secret blockchain game”? I’d argue that the Bored Ape Yacht Club has a better chance of delivering, if only because “a blockchain game” would ostensibly use technology that exists.
It’s kind of like saying you’re on the first step to becoming Spider-Man because you’re a man.
Ed Zitron in his latest email newsletter on the ai nonsense-hype on the topic that LLM’s will start “reasoning” soon.
Read it. It’s really good and will make you think. www.wheresyoured.at/put-up-or…
Heute morgen auf dem Weg zum Jugendamt. Wir brauchten ein Dokument für die Schule neu ausgestellt. Das ursprüngliche hatten wir verlegt 🙈.
Das Ursprüngliche hatten wir verlegt.
Wenn man es so schreibt, bekommt es einen anderen Charakter. Und gilt vermutlich ganz allgemein für unsere heutige Gesellschaft.
Unterwegs habe ich eine Folge RadioWissen gehört, über Die frühe Bundesrepublik- Die 1950er Jahre. Für mich als 1982 Geborener sehr interessant. Vieles wusste ich nicht.
I just added stubs to pages I want to fill on this blog. You can find them in the navigation already even though they are quite empty still. Adam Keys brought my attention to those through his blog post “Slash pages & micro-features”
Something on my feature branch breaks a feature that used to work before. That feature is only losely related to the changes I made. The feature that is now broken is old and has no test coverage. It’s real work to figure out why it’s affected in this way.
A new Alfred workflow: Quickly open Merge Requests in GitLab
I am using Apple’s 100 best albums of all time page & right now am at number 95: Usher’s Confessions. Usually I listen to Rock and Metal, or Blues/Soul/Jazz. So it’s a mixed bag in every regard. I like being exposed to different music and it’s fine to keep it in the background while working.
Wonderful. Thank you for sharing @heibie@mastodon.social bielinski.de
Since Bartender 5 for Mac was sold without informing me as a longtime user to Applause Group — which I don’t know and don’t want to get to know — I removed it from my system.
As an alternative I am now using Ice. Thanks Christian for introducing me to Ice through his blog post.
Ice seems cool. 😅
Finished reading: Golden Fool by Robin Hobb 📚 Just finished. I believe I never read a book quicker than this. It’s like many second parts of a trilogy. It advances the storyline and prepares everything for the big finale. It is still full of suspense and I can hardly wait to read the rest. Still, book one was better. If not only for the reason that Nighteyes is gravely missed. 😢
Finished reading: Fool’s Errand by Robin Hobb 📚
I finished yesterday. Being sick and laying in bed all day has upsides. Wonderful start to the series. Very emotional and thrilling.

In meinem RSS feed erscheinen regelmäßig die Beiträge von @heibie@mastodon.social. Mit dabei sind Posts in denen man sieht, dass er einen Artikel »liked« oder »bookmarked« hat. Und ich frage mich, wie er das technisch umsetzt. Falls du das siehst, Heiko, magst du oder hast du darüber geschrieben?
Dadurch, dass ich nun ein Backbone für mein iPhone habe, benutze ich es ab und an wieder ohne Hülle. Die Apple Finewoven Case passt nicht ins Backbone. 🤷♂️ Jedenfalls ist es wieder ein Genuss, dieses Titangehäuse in der Hand zu haben. Ohne Hülle ist besser. Aber halt auch gefährlicher…
Erd-, Stachel- und Johannesbeeren halten sich an ihre Jobbeschreibung! 👍🫶
