@tante every time I am fed up with VSCode for the reasons you mentioned I switch to my neovim editor. It stay there for a few days and then eventually switch back. Neovim really made vim better (for me!)

Finished reading: The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook for Surviving Medieval England by Brandon Sanderson 📚 My first Sanderson book. I didn’t know what to expect. It’s book two from the special projects series and unrelated to other books. Was a quick read and entertaining. 4/5 stars. Good main character. 😅😉

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.

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.

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. 😅

@eurobubba I used them in a special university building in Berlin a few times. It was always so scary because they actually moved faster than I wished they did.

@numericcitizen oh yes I second that opinion. Although in the last years the hardware wasn't much topic of WWDC anymore, was it? I would love to be able to work on software development tasks from my iPad. And MacOS needs improvements like you mentioned. Other than that I am pretty ok with the status quo in my day-to-day use.

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…

@samgrover I was just trying it out. The descriptions were accurate and quick to get. Do you envision an option to change the language of the alt text? For my German posts it would make sense to have German alt text.

Today is the final day of a three-day workshop on FHIR and the firely server. I am actually writing some C# code today. Haven’t interacted with that language for over 10 years. Three days of workshops is a nice change of pace. Also lots of delicious food and a great presenter/coach in Mirjam Baltus.
