   Normally I tend to wait before each major release, but I got lured by unknown caller screening. Then I noticed there's no unknown caller screening for me (just a useless setting to move unknown callers to a different list). They also r

   Heh, I think that notion came from watching Nefarious, the 2023 movie by Solomon and Konzelman, where a psychiatrist tries to clarify whether an insane (or possessed?) death row inmate is fit to be executed (they talk about how humanity thi

   How about these companies go from "fuck your democracy lol" to "okay this is bad, this is how we can attempt to fix it". They are among the richest corporations humanity has ever seen. The dependence on oil is physically

   I'm atheist, yet the behavior of Big Oil over these past decades is strong evidence that demonic possession may in fact be real.

   And no easy way to block phone numbers from the caller list (among other things). iOS 26 is the first upgrade I really regretted.

   Watching Held der Steine cured me of all notions that LEGO(R) still has any interest other than milking their brand/reputation. McKinsey leadership will do that to a company, I guess. Thankfully there's many good (and compatible)

    I realize this doesn't really say anything about grid-level/national requirements, but at least in my situation 100% electric heating seems feasible. Last year we used 7000kWh of natural gas (at 0.14€/kWh). Assuming 90% effic

    W.r.t. heating did you also consider the effects of increasing local production as well as transferability and variability of load (e.g. requiring larger heat pumps and other "steuerbare Verbrauchseinrichtungen" to be "adjust

    Renewable electricity in Germany is already at over 50% per year and climbing steadily, but heating, mobility, land/resource/artificial fertilizer use, pollution and circular economy are still lagging (esp. accounting for the fact

    Depends where and when exactly as well as who you were, I guess. I've been to two LWL open air museums near my region. They gather original buildings in their respective area (not a particularly rich one) from the ~15th to ~18th centur

    Modern society is falling apart over the cost of getting to net zero. I don't think we have the funds to put lakes on artificial life support in the foreseeable future.

    Choose your battles wisely, I guess. Maybe putting energy into acquiring yet another differentiator (of especially doubtful longterm relevance) is just not worth it? Only you can decide this. I'd be looking at options outside that fien

    GOÄ is applicable only to private insurance and out-of-pocket payers. Public insurance uses the EBM (less generous to doctors, hence why they like private patients and IGeL so much).

    Windows Sandbox looks like an alpha. It's nowhere near where Microsoft's valuation is. That said with enough attacks of this kind we may actually get real security progress (and a temporary update freeze maybe), fucking finally.

    Being added to "the index" (Liste der jugendgefährdenden Medien, list of media harmful for youths) was (probably still is) a great marketing vehicle in Germany. While the complete list isn't easy to view (there's secret
