ffs, the net isn't really nice anymore. can't write anything (even rather harmless tongue in cheek things), without expecting the lynchmob at your door. you don't get any chance for clarification, the noose ain't waiting!

@freemo i think of car travel more like other utilities like electricity, you usually have a stable consumption, with the possibility of some savings if you cut down on comfort or are enabled to do so by technical advancement.

@freemo may be interesting if you don't know it already: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Awful_German_Language

@freemo yeah, with physics i only have what in german is called "gefährliches halbwissen" (rough translation: "dangerous semi-knowledge") 😜

@freemo doesn't the strength of magnetic fields get weaker with some exponent of distance? i guess you really need to put much power into such a thing to get to the outer side of the wrist for a normally worn watch.

and most right handed people wear the watch on their left hand :)

exactly the stuff i'd expect from the gnome folks though:

@rysiek it's really amazing how fast they completely destroyed the good reputation they've build. people had finally forgotten the old "but QT is evil closed source" meme.

@khird idk, i have many friends which like it, but i always have hated nearly everything about it. it's a mixture of "ui made for granny" (i really hate it), "tinfoil hat security" (security is bullshit with a mobile os where spooks sit on plethoras of 0days) and "fuck you, love moxie".

i know that matrix may have it's own shortcomings, but they have proven that e2e crypto works in a federated setting. and: don't trust element? build your own client with the reviewed libolm!

haha, webshit weekly is glorious again:

> Signal is having technical difficulties

> Signal (business model: "Uber for texting") falls over. Most communications protocols are federated, and would survive one company's servers eating dirt, but Signal's owner/operator has decided this would degrade the user experience, presumably worse than the entire service shitting the bed out loud. Hackernews assumes that Signal is incapable of paying its hosting fees, and comes to the rescue by sending their money to a company that can't spin up cloud nodes fast enough to serve text messages. Other Hackernews bemoan the fact that once again they look like idiots, since they just conned half their friends and family into signing up for this mess.

@witti letzter versuch: regale in L form aufstellen füre stabilität

@witti aaach, das haben früher alle gemacht!11 😀

@bonifartius i mean, suddenly deciding after a year that simple masks don't help and everybody needs to wear the fancy stuff is just bullshit.

a hard lockdown like in china is the only thing which is proven to help, but nobody has the balls for that here.

and don't get me started about the bullshit that christmas had to happen at all costs. *inserts rage face

@thor and the feeling of not getting told the truth isn't helping either. i'm on the verge of becoming a covid ignorer (not really, but i'm really pissed) just because the government fucks everything up and doesn't even communicate things.

i'm not sure if it changed but the official covid-deaths-chart doesn't contain the age. i know this is so that young people don't say "not my problem", but it feels like being lied in the face that data is withheld.

@witti vllt. regale die man an der decke verspannt auf den leeren flächen?
