I stared at this for 10 minutes now and still can’t understand what it is that is forbidden here

They grow up so fast

Found a cool low-tech solution for letting the kids roam freely while still being a helicopter parent: my wife’s and my phone number on bracelets. Now when the kids get lost they just need to show their bracelet e.g. to a shop owner or other trustworthy people and they can call us

…and then suddenly you’re a middle aged man who just dropped off the kid at their hobby. I actually even own a dad vest now.

Danke für den reminder

Good thing there are washing instructions on that thing, I wouldn’t have known when to wash it otherwise.

I don't know, Mastodon really doesn't work well for me. The fact that it's so difficult to look up contacts, follow discussions and follow threads is just too limiting.

Let me tell you youngsters a bit about home screens. When the first #Xbox launched, it booted directly to the game that was in the disc drive - as did all the consoles back then. The Home Screen was completely useless (And also had some eerie music in it, wtf). The 360 started out with the same, but at some point extended the experience massively from the snappy Blades design to an ever-loading more bloated view. Since online gaming was rare, streaming not a thing and the Xbox unusable as a dvd drive unless you bought an extra piece of hardware, the dashboard was mostly annoying. These days elaborate dashboards are everywhere, shoving ads down our throats, but also looking much nicer than they used to. I feel today‘s Xbox dashboard is much closer to the initial one or the blades - staying out of the way unless needed - thanany of the intermediate steps.

Strange New Worlds is the best Star Trek I have seen since the high time of Trek in the late 90s.

Twitter, Reddit, StackExchange and others - I am sad to see that this iteration of the internet is ending.

The demo for the vision pro from Apple has, for the first time ever, shown me a use case for which I can see myself buying this thing (not the first iteration though): as a monitor replacement.

Mir ist heute ein kulturelles Relikt wieder eingefallen: Das Anklingeln.
Ohne Internet und mit Tarifen, bei denen Anrufe und SMS Geld kosten, stellt sich das Problem, wie man günstig einfache Nachrichten übermittelt.
Die Lösung: Das Anklingeln. Telefonate waren (und sind) nämlich kostenlos, solange das Gegenüber nicht annimmt. Also spricht man sich ab: 'Wenn ich da bin, klingle ich Dich an'. Man ruft dabei die andere Person an, legt aber nach dem ersten Klingeln sofort wieder auf.

Ich bin wirklich schlecht darin, meinen Substack zu promoten. Inzwischen bin ich bei Ausgabe 7: risabar.substack.com/p/rb-7-fi…

Ich habe gerade #LOL Staffel 4 auf #PrimeVideo gesehen und ich verstehe einfach nicht, was am Konzept 'Comedians bringen sich gegenseitig zum Lachen' so schwer zu verstehen ist, lieber #bully! Die paar echten Comedians, die neben einfachen Schauspielern mitmachen, werden teilweise von Bully unterbrochen, um unlustige Ideen von Außen einzubringen. Schade.

Lust auf eine Prise #StarTrek ? Hier entlang: risabar.substack.com/p/rb3-kam…

Ich habe mir mal wieder eine #StarTrek - Episode genauer angesehen (Nein, nicht Picard :) ), diesmal eine aus dem TNG-Umfeld: risabar.substack.com/p/rb2-das…
