TIL that you can't change your email address in Discord if you lost access to the one you signed up with. "Just make a new account". Sure, but what about the servers I joined and the permissions I got? That is so laughably bad and that company wants money for some of their services?

TIL you can now restrict Spotify accounts of your kids so that they don't get shoved obnoxious videos in their face. At last. I was about to cancel my membership after, idk, 8 years or whatever

"Die typische SQL-Erfahrung ist 25 Jahre hinterher. Ich bringe Entwicklern das aktuelle SQL-Know-how bei, damit Ihr Unternehmen die bestehende Infrastruktur besser nutzen kann." Alter... @winand.at nailed it in seinem XING Profil

thanks apple ads for the recommendation to this powerful keyword i guess

How did I write SQL for 25 years and never having actively used a WITH statement? And I thought I knew SQL.

Apple Ads logging me out like every 60 minutes or so. Can you maybe keep a session for, you know, a month or two like a normal web service? I wanna do business with you.

Scheiß Kamine. Für ein bisschen gemütliche Stimmung die Luft von zig Nachbarn verpesten. Wir könnten es so sauber haben, aber nein, wir wollen Luft wie in Ulan Bator.

First time I had an AI generated song in my Spotify weekly mix recommendations.

#inktober2025 shredded

I tried some AI-enhanced learning apps for fun. For example, Knowunity makes $200K per month world-wide. - User uploads material - GPT-wrapper creates questions, which are of questionable quality - User answers questions - Add animations, gamification, streaks - But basically, user consumes AI slop

iOS 26 not nearly as ugly as I expected

Good article malwaretech.com/2025/08/ever...

TIL Biome as a linter/formatter for JS does not show all formatting errors in VSCode apparently, which is kinda a weird choice. I think I don't like this.

TIL kashw1n.com/blog/nodejs-... Pretty good stuff. Let me rip out my async function wrapper per module and all the testing libraries.

Someone is buying a low amount of fake reviews for my app on the Play Store in slovakian. Like 5-10 ratings per month, mostly 5 star ratings. Thing is: my app is available in German only. - Why? Volume seems to be too low to accuse me of buying fakes - I can't report to Google

Would the same happen in Germany, if the AfD got into power? The Venn diagram for Covidiots and AfD voters is basically a single circle. This shows that a "democratically elected party" can lead to undemocratic outcomes.

Installed iOS 18.4. Siri still dumb as fuck. - "Which day of the week will be the 1st of April 2026?" - "Sorry, didn't understand"

Tried ChatGPT again with the image gen stuff (free acc). Asked it to improve the design in an app. First, it gave windows file copy dialog estimations on how long it takes until image gen would be available again (a few minutes, 40 minutes, 4 minutes, 24 minutes, in just a moment).

Gewinne privatisieren, Verluste sozialisieren – mal wieder. www.tagesschau.de/wirtschaft/w...

Btw. I deleted my GitLab projects and account. I used it for private projects, because it's not M$. Never liked the slightly sluggish feeling, the "we are checking your browser", the complexity I don't need.

25% auf Tesla-Importe wäre mein Vorschlag. www.nzz.ch/wirtschaft/t...

Mastodon fühlt sich linker an als bsky.

Was für eine schräge Plattform ist eigentlich das Forum von Jung & Naiv? Da tummeln sich eine Handvoll Berufsforisten, die 24/7 die vermeintliche westliche Propaganda entlarven und gleichzeitig ausländische Kräfte völlig undifferenziert betrachten.

ESLint is a hot piece of garbage. It used to "just work" and was simple. Now it is annoyingly flexible so that I - can't use a single config globally - simples rules like "semi" are deprecated and I have to use a freakin plugin to achieve the same thing

First five minutes with Cursor IDE on a very simple code base: The suggestions have been more wrong than right so far 🤷‍♀️

CDU + AfD: - Austesten des Widerstands von Parteimitgliedern und Wählern durch Migrationsabstimmung - Argumente werden nach und nach von der CDU gebracht, warum AfD als Koalitionspartner besser ist als SPD + Grüne: 1. SPD und Grüne jeweils < 20%, Linke und FDP < 5%, daher geht nur Schwarz-Rot-Grün

Pro-Tipp, wie man ohne Kater an Neujahr aufwacht: An Silvester keinen Alkohol trinken. Krass.
