Oh shit, I do that for every other sentence D:

I haven't known that one yet, hilarious :)

Dann dauert es halt 3-4 Jahre, das ist garnichts wenn es um Wohnbau geht…

Mit genügend leerstehenden Büros geht das ganz schnell, wir reden da ja von der Hauptkundschaft der Politiker ;)

Ist doch super, Wohnungen draus machen und schon sitzt man im ehemaligen Büro im Homeoffice :)

Wohnen ist eh viel zu teuer, mehr Angebot ist perfekt.

Just FYI: There's a little star icon you can click. It will put posts and comments in your profile under "Saved" :)

Unfortunately it's too hot outside for 2010 :(

Back in the day when I first started working I used Excel, but it was a total pain in the butt.

For the last 10 years I've used YNAB (You Need A Budget), it was a single purchase back then and I still have it on Steam and on my phone. Works great, doesn't cost me a thing, keeps track of every cent (as long as I spend around 20 minutes a month to put all transactions in).

Unfortunately YNAB switched to subscription only, so it's a bit difficult to recommend :-/

That sounds.. good?

I wish I'd just step away from the computer and clean my flat or go for a walk. It's tough.

At first I never used it, always thought typing with two fingers was the fastest (and actually got me the result I wanted).

Nowadays I swipe 99% of the time on my Android phone and it is a lot faster. Especially when your phone learns the words you like to use. It's not perfect of course and you will have to correct some words down the line (it still sometimes refuses to swipe "Fuck"), but overall I'm faster with it.

Also super comfy for long and complex words when you just roughly swipe it and get the full word written there without errors.

Overall though I prefer to touch type on a proper keyboard on the PC, that's still the fastest :)

It's also a shitty take because it hypes up Meta. Which basically took Instagram (handling billions of users posting text, images and videos) and creating Threads by turning images and video off. It's the same user accounts too.

That's like Google creating YouTweet by taking their YouTube platform and reducing it to video comments only. Then praising them that they managed to launch a text based service in 2023.

Why not actually talk about Mastodon instead?

This is a shitty take. Twitter ran perfectly fine before Musk took it over.

Turns out if you don't pay your hosting bills, or your office building bills, fire most of your engineers (after annoying them with bullshit) and making rash decisions without consulting people with technical know-how your service goes to shit.

Musk was stupid enough to DDOS his own service because he doesn't understand it. Blocking public access to tweets while having tweets embedded in millions of websites turned out to be a really bad idea. Simply because Twitter engineers always expected Tweets to be publicly available, so they kept retrying to fetch the data. There's probably a hundred+ developers at Twitter who could have told Musk that little tidbit.

This is 100% on the egomaniacal billionaire and has nothing to do with the technology.

Ever heard of .bat files? There is no need for admin rights to steal company and user data. All it takes is opening the wrong file. Windows is also terrible about file names, per default extensions are hidden. So you can have a file named "report.pdf.bat" for example and it will show for most users as "report.pdf" with a funny icon. It's a terrible default setting security wise.

Btw. you're still comparing a desktop OS with a phone OS. You have to compare Android with iOS. Or Windows with Linux and macOS.
