On a tangent: The characterization of Harry Potter is way off … I missed the whole craziness and just read it last year. I have to say it‘s amazingly well crafted and holds up as world literature. Important: Voldemort just gets his power fr

I always have a bad feeling in my stomach when the Karen meme comes up. Compared to blankface, it seems misogynistic to me. I agree that blank face is problematic, dehumanizing. Yet, Karen seems worse

Just for me, Firefox feels like that. It seems Mozilla tries to break free, yet has trouble. Wondering how to help them. If a non-tech friend asks me about a browser recommendation, I will always point them to Firefox. It's the browser

Why is this article on the second page and not on the first? Continued anti-competitive behavior from some chrome fanboys? As much as I don't like Mozilla's company direction (pocket, VPN etc.) Firefox is a symbol for the free we

yes ... it's super annoying. Zoom does not implement some features on the web and I'm ok with it. Their client works perfectly from the any web browser I use. Right now I have a chromium install just for meetup (as it does not wor

Was a backer and just got one and I am pretty impressed. It works as an external monitor so it seems quite easy to use. You plug in a USB-C (for power) and an HDMI and you are ready to go ... worked as a display for my linux and mac machine

Can we stop writing/linking listicles … ? it seems for me, a lot of blogs are only „the 10 next things you should definitely do“ „the 5 tools that will change your life“ … it exhausts me.

The article has a couple of useful tips. Yet what made me cringe, is the following statement: “ 100% retention of everything I ever read” This just has to be wrong :)
