This sounds like the purported Epstein scheme on a smaller scale.

Schickse, Schmendrick and Schmock (derived from Schmuck) are still used in German. There are probably a whole lot more that I'm not aware of.

Just now there’s also an ongoing coverage about scammy Wordle clones that currently haunt the App Store. Their whole protect the customer narrative is a sham when it comes to the App Store. I think the only upside are easily cancellable sub

That tripped me up as well but it get‘s worse. Apparently you either know why you’re in a bad mood or not. Being in a good mood is not even an option.

That’s a naive take. The intel ME is also there „by design“ and is equally capable to lock you out of your machine. And as long as only a small number of users are affected, they would also get away with it. The average customer usually doe

No, we need stronger customer protection. Other companies have similar fuck-ups and we shouldn’t be okay with it depending on whether we like the company that did it. And yes, I know Linux exists, but I’ll be in an even greater world of pai

> Siri is statically-terrible I don’t think it’s a fair assessment. Sure it’s the worst out of the 3 but it’s improving, albeit at the speed of 0.3 microgoogles.

I don't know if you meant this to be an example of "autistic" perception, but fairness is deeply embedded in a lot of animals, including humans. It sounds more like the CEO was sociopathic. Also, of course it makes sense to c

No, Apple is at least partially successful because it’s a luxury brand. That’s not the same as more expensive=better. The Apple comparison is also dumb because even if you think they’re overpriced, they aren’t priced arbitrarily high and th

I have used their tests in the past and I’ve never regretted a purchase influenced by their tests.

I don’t use a VPN and I don’t think it’s my network because I don’t have any problems with “old” protocols (UPNP, samba, RDP/VNC, SSH, everything on top of HTTP). I wonder what Apple’s protocols do that makes them so error prone. If it

Airdrop is a good example that a easy to use but unreliable technology will beat a hard to use but reliable solution. Airdrop sucks, but even my mom can use it.

This is true for most Apple protocols in my experience. I’m supposed to be able to control my Homepod from my watch with a tap but it never works. Sometimes I can’t use the Homepod for minutes until it shows up. iMessage regularly fails to

I wonder how old the author is. I had a phase like this in my early twenties that grew out of eventually. I realized there’s a certain kind of wisdom hidden in people that you can’t find in books, if you just ask the right questions. If you

I‘m going out on a limb and say almost everyone experiences this to some degree. If you find it impacts your life negatively you should definitely see a doctor. Other than that, mindfulness meditation is actually useful because you learn to

Every time my artisanal mails went to spam it was an overzealous corporate spam filter (mostly for mails with attachments). Never from one of the big hosts.

I'm sure you have some sources for your bold claims. Also, I think you may have gotten the point of my comment wrong. The comment I replied to made it sound like it's a bad idea to build in the saxony area because of racism, which

Hopefully the exposure to foreign professionals will lead to a decrease in xenophobia. So I think it's the other way around. It's not that there are fewer foreigners there because of right wing politics, but the right wing politic

US tipping culture is just awful. For anyone that comes with „yeah but you can show appreciation towards the servers“. When was the last time you tipped your plumber, mechanic, cashier, programmer, nurse or lawyer?

Google also has an entirely different business model than Apple. You could say they would be in direct competition to the CCP so I don't think this is a reason to hold Google up for their "principles".

Trackers are just vertical piano rolls with all tracks visible concurrently. Piano rolls are is better, I’d argue, when working with audio clips and automation.

No, because the declination of “be” refers to couple, which is 3rd person singular. The sentence is correct.

Privatization of infrastructure in Germany has always led to a, at least perceived, decline in quality. This has been true for postal service, railway, telcos and now health care.

I don’t (just) mean with regards to audibility but also lip sync and intonation. It depends on the original language of course. The lip sync in squid game was noticeably off for example (Watched it with my family who dont like subs).

On the other hand German TV/movie acting is heavily influenced by theater so you will have dialogues that are easy to understand but sound completely unnatural. This combined with bad cinematography makes German films unwatchable for m

This is hardly a shallow dismissal and the comment didn’t actually criticize the lack of credentials.

This is on point. I think the reason people do it without adequate pay is that some people like the feeling of being needed.
