Setting up a plain IMAP account in Apple Mail is so much harder than it should be. It used to keep the wrongly guessed settings, even if you overwrote them, so you'd have to delete the account and start over for it to actually work. Al

I'd call that the 'Double Schrödinger's Immigrant': - takes away our jobs, while simultaneously leeching off of our taxpayers' money AND - helps us solve our demographic problem / labor shortage, while simultan

FWIW, Paypal rendered as completely blank pages (home and login / payment pages) in FF/Ubuntu until a couple days ago. Not sure when this started, but I've seen it before on some of their payment pages.

In Germany, vast parts of Facebook have become one big ugly hate fest. I've read so much utterly terrible crap in the past few days (in the aftermath of the NYE events in Germany), that I'm still sick to the stomach. People are co

Trouble is that most user never complain, they just leave and never come back (unless you're a major news outlet).

I find your comment overly dismissive, let's apply this position to painting for comparison: "It's all bullshit. It's oil on canvas. Some people make really great oil on canvas and the majority of them happen to be (whit

Maybe you are being downvoted because you seem to have no problem whatsoever with the idea of exiling millions of people solely based on their ethnicity / faith?

Obviously it's just as despicable to say that the Gulags never happened. It's not much of an issue though in Germany / Europe, no one's really claiming that, probably since it wouldn't feed into any popular / p

The key difference is that denying the Holocaust is a couple orders of magnitude more hurtful to a lot of people than denying "flat Earth", creation, of evolution.

Since it's not particularly awesome, friendly or powerful, it would be a bit of a stretch to name it in such a fashion IMHO. It is in fact free though, and I never wondered about the "libre" part, but then again, I'm fro

Well, maybe one day they will come up with an icon for unisex toilets as well. Good luck designing that in a way that makes everyone happy.

You are making some bold statements about the general transparency of different audio formats that contradict pretty much everything I've read about this topic so far. Hence, I'd like to learn more, do you have any links that you

How would one monopolist price more competitively than a number of competing vendors? Consumers need competition, producers avoid it where they can. Competition sucks from a producers perspective -- price equals marginal cost and profit is

I think one of the reasons here is that a lot of UX people don't work on products, they work on projects. And once you've handed in your deliverables, you move on to the next project and never ever look back.

It's gotten a lot worse in the past two years, more like 60 people showing up for attractive places and the whole job / income / vouching paperwork dance even for small apartments in the 500 Euro range.

Problem is that their old place will go back to the market on a new lease and, in popular areas, twice the rent. Also, if you've been in your current apartment for 5+ years, changing apartments effectively means double rent for you. Ev

Also, the app gets slower and slower with every update, having become mostly useless on older hardware, to the point where it reminds me of my grandma's radio, where you had to warm up the tubes for a minute before you could listen to

Not a lawyer either, what I've read about street art in Germany is basically: if it leaves residue (physical changes your object) = property damage, if it's easy to remove without a trace = no case. Which is why a lot of street ar

Are jogging, fried chicken and coffee shops clear signals for specific parts of the population outside the US as well? I live in Berlin and would have trouble correlating any of the above with distinct subsets of the population -- all kinds
