@z428 What an irony
@noelreports Thanks for now providing your stream here, I absolutely appreciate. I relied on Twitter via Nitter RSS feed to see your posts and that avenue is now gone. Keep the good work up and thank you very much!
@piggo They are whining on Twitter so you can't see them anymore.
But now seriously, I use nitter to get all the semi-serious but fresh news from UA front via Nitter RSS feeds and all that is gone. Since I don't have a Twitter account and don't want to have, the latest changes seriously suck. So me whining here..
@piggo Wouldn't be as much fun. Many simply secretly (unconsciously?) enjoy all that gear. It's easier to stress about the gear instead of really doing the thing.
Those who don't belong to this crowd go jogging. But then comes the latest Garmin XYZ*&^smart(*^watch and there we go again.
@pony time shift? 🤔 are they in different timezones since I checked the last time?
@hellquist Well. The other day I had a discussion about this with my teenager: Why did they ban these things in Paris? it's cute, environmentally friendly, cheap, etc. What's not to like? Well, that's why...
@piggo At the first glimpse, I had the impression these are two boomerangs in a kitchen. Only after reading the text I realised that is not what I am looking at...
@hellquist Oooh. These issues are driving me nuts too. Where I live it's shared scooters. For some reason, people drive, then just stop often without even moving out of the way and leave. As a pedestrian, I'd sometimes kick these things. But then I don't 😐 .

@z_428 Very sixties. To me: a "PanAm look" (https://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=panam+advertisement&tbs=imgo:1)

Click on the map and zoom in, it's very readable.

@trinsec Does not look "handy" from him.
@piggo normal for me. Though the dynamics is typically: 1) start watching with some hopes/interest; 2) do chores while watching; 3) when chores are done, switch off the thing; 4) never come back to it again because it only worked as a screensaver, but didn't fulfill those hopes/interests.
@pony On the keysmash topic, later in the evening I was helping a young member of the family with a school assignment. This word occurred there quite a bit: "Langnekslangenhalsschildpad"
But I guess the other way round people would look similarly puzzled at words like "zmrzlina", or "třistatřicet ...".
@pony just that you know, the thing there reads "corporatelawyers.nl" 😄
Exploring, failing, backtracking, just to identify the only viable path forward. And then scarred, stumbling forward into the future. Learning.
Boring and steady. Knowing little and questioning a lot. Mostly harmless.

This is an experimental scrapbook space. A collection of stuff I want to keep in a form somewhere on the spectrum between a blog and a shoe-box full of scraps, cut-outs, quotes, links and reading notes and sometimes my own silly thoughts about them.
Perhaps it might be of marginal interest to others too, but I don't care that much.
