If you have no idea what Git is, that warning message is not telling you you’re about to delete 5000 files.

But I wonder if this person maybe does know about Git because they used the word „stage“.

Very few are worth it for a longer time. I subscribe to Netflix only about twice a year for a month to catch up on 1-2 shows. Streaming services make it super easy to jump in and out, why not use that?

Why?

They were recently added as a channel in Prime, at least in the US. Can’t you access it through that?

It worked well for me until at some point the audio in Plex was slightly off and there was no way to adjust anything in this damn app. I was not alone with this issue but they never did anything about it.

I consciously avoid having to control any of my smart home devices using voice or other weird methods. Everything is toggled with buttons or fully automatic. This works pretty well for me and voice control is still available but it’s only optional. Sure you might ask why even make it smart then? Because I’m a nerd and because I keep forgetting to turn lights off when I leave. Also smart thermostats are great.

Though I also gave up on my vacuum robot. Due to rearranging some furniture I had to move the vacuum base and let it rescan my apartment. But now for some reason it never gets past the dining room and aimlessly swirls around the table until the battery is dead, never finishing the room scan. On top of that it picked up a small pebble or something and scratched the floor. I had enough of it.

Wow 2025, such a long break.

Youtube itself hosts a library of royalty free music and effects to use in videos. Many creators just use that.

I personally don’t notice the music that much, I’m more annoyed by overused sound effects.

I guess the one that pretty much everyone knows in Germany is Buxtehude. It is being used as the poster child for a backwards town, far away from cities. Which is funny because neither is it backwards, remote or even very small. With a population of 40k it’s relatively large, compared to many other places in Germany, even just right next to Buxtehude. It is not far from Hamburg and its historic core is worth a visit. I think the name itself is the reason why it is being made fun of so much. Though there are so many other, much quirkier named towns in Germany but it somehow became Buxtehude.

I thought S02E01 had too many flashbacks. Not much actually happened. But I’m still excited for the rest of the season.

German car makers are unfortunately dealing with the same issue since the incentives were cancelled.

So then „bury“ it behind a paywall, why is that bad? A server costs money so let the people who want to use that server pay their part. I see no problem with that.

But Mac user, sorry.

I will have to cut down on costs but I won’t be poor, so yes.

Just improve the Home app please. It’s still on Matter 1.1.

People expecting a new Twitter when switching to Mastodon were met with weird behavior and nerds who told them the awful search function or weird comment count is working correctly because that’s how federation works. Well if that’s the case then federation is shit.

It feels like everything is going down the drain right now but when you look at the whole human history, this is probably just a hiccup and overall it will continue getting better in the long run.

And although we missed the mark and won’t be able to stop climate change, humanity will adapt somehow and live on. Enlightenment I don’t know, but better yes.

But for the near future, I don’t see good things coming…

Soon everything will be deep sea

I am much more sarcastic in real life because it’s easier to read the room and get my point across. It’s a way for me to put some form of entertainment into a frustrating topic and feel smart. But I started using it less and try to actually explain what’s on my mind instead. This not only improves the quality of the discussion but also makes me want to dive deeper into topics so I can better talk about it and maybe even understand/accept opposing views better.

I live alone, too but since a few years ago I started decorating for Christmas because I like the vibe of it. I got myself a fake Christmas tree from Ikea last year that looks surprisingly good.

For any other occasion I don’t decorate because I don’t participate in it.
