I finally got an invite to surf.social – I really love the concept of a new take on the social space, but I think the app is a good example of too much design. The UI is disctracting when it should be getting out of the way...

Vodafone Warteschleife: 45 minutes and counting (die Qualität der Warteschleifenmusik ist so schlecht, dass man es eigentlich nur als unangenehmes Scheppern bezeichnen kann)

Setting up an #apple Watch for my 11yo has been an absolute desaster. I'm still on the phone with a support person after trying to figure this out for several hours :(

The Hunter Biden story is a perfect encapsulation of what’s wrong with American media: Is it a story? Sure. But every newspaper in America devoting front page headlines to Hunter fucking Biden while Trump appoints a cabal of rapists, racists and con-men to positions of enormous power is MADNESS.
