Yes, typo

The rule is pretty clear: Stay away from anything Altman touches if you want to keep a clear conscience.

The difference: I have higher expectations of Firefox.

If it is just as good as Safari, why should I use Firefox in the first place? I can use Safari right away if I’m forced to manually protect my privacy.

Bye, bye Firefox!

SAP still seems to do it this way.

I sold my watch because I was so annoyed by the bad battery life.

I expect a watch to run for a couple of days at least. Charging it while taking a shower must be sufficient. And I do not shower for half an hour.

As long as the Apple Watch is not able to do that, it’s a no-go for me.

The stupid shareholders are financing Musk’s Twitter-disaster.

I would prefer to let Bluesky die silently instead of throwing a life line.

I used to live in Regensburg, one of the northernmost Roman garrisons. So, the oldest remaining building (stone wall) is almost 2000 years old.

Nothing

Nothing at all.

I would like an app for desktop and phone/tablet that are syncing, just like Authy did, before they abandoned the desktop app.

So, for me that means: iOS/iPadOS and macOS

I do not see a desktop client.

I’m more surprised that anyone bought this nonsense.

After Authy scrapped its support for the desktop client, I’m looking for an alternative. Sadly, this does not look like it.

„has been killed“ would be the proper wording

If it would be ha-capable it would be perfect. (At least on paper. )

I really need to try this.

I’m 46. I had some really bad breakups in my life, was alone for a couple of years. Until I met my (now) wife just 4 years ago. This changed everything because it made me realize that what I thought to be love before was just a shadow of what love truly is.

Keep looking forward and do not torture yourself over what could have been or what went wrong. Nothing went wrong. It’s just life that happened. There will be some amazing person out there and you just haven’t stumbled upon this person yet.

It’s ok to grief a bit. That’s healthy. But look forward and do not hurt yourself in the process.

Fair enough!

The problem is: Once the CO2 is in the atmosphere, it’s there. It does damage. No money in the world will undo that, unless we build massive factories that extract CO2 from the atmosphere and make coal- or oil-like stuff that we put back in the earth. At the same moment your consumption blasts CO2 out in the atmosphere.

That does not exist. There is no system in place (except for some small but ludicrously expensive labs) that could do that.

Planting trees (or something similar) might help in a few decades, if the trees are still alive then and not being harvested. Until then the CO2 is in the atmosphere, doing its damage. Every day, every minute, every second.

Why? To ease your conscience by claiming that it is not as bad because you paid something extra? It’s the modern version of the selling of indulgences.

It’s worse than doing nothing because it gives the people the illusion that it’s not so bad - while in fact it is exactly as bad.

Can we fast forward to the moment when this actually happens, please?
