Take the metro, bus or train?

I tried their email out for some time and was contemplating fully switching over. But somewhat in their email has always felt broken to me. Some days it was the text editor. Other days it was the reader and account thumbnails. Their support was responsive but their engineering really gave the feeling that they didn't care in the past few months.

I guess that's why. I just wish something in tech isn't just working towards an MVP and then once it is out or sold, goodbye.

Alternative to Google, they said. It didn't seem so alternative by its way of hitting the graveyard.

I actually prefer it that way. With tabbed Ribbons (Is it how they're called?), I constantly have to look over and over again which tab the thing I need is located, ending up in question why X is put here but not there.

I despise the fact that most Android phones start with a 6-inch screen. I was resolute to switch to an iPhone mini next time when I'll change phones but then they also killed that product line. 🫠

I really miss the time I can do everything with one hand using only one thumb.

Make ceramics. It's really meditative. Time passes so quickly as I focus on the spinning clay on the wheel.

I disagree with the idea of unions. I just don’t like anything which creates a lords-and-peasants kind of thing.

By not having unions, he exactly creates the lords-and-peasants kind of thing.

I read somewhere that they prioritised cargo trains over passenger trains anyway when it comes to delays and service reliability.

Besides, what else? There is only one railway network and you gotta use it anyway no matter how trashy it gets.

They don't even need to compete for passengers.

Germany is prone to dogmatism. There is a culture of putting things in boxes of right or wrong and then signaling it. Besides, skipping to judgement is easier than trying to unravel complications and risking being questioned in a hot seat. Spirit of being risk-averse.

If you are searched on a private property, at least (and in theory) the law enforcement unit needs to get some sort of warrant before they could search you.

I don't see why we are opening access to our private digital sphere to them to do whatever and whenever they like, and most likely without us knowing what is going on.

Quite happy user of Pixel 6a. The only few annoying things are:

• Under-the-screen fingerprint sensor works less than half of the time. At night and in bed, it blinds me.
• Battery, despite adaptive battery, still feels surprisingly draining fast from time to time. The battery merely just hold for the day whereas I don't even have that much screen time or background running apps.

What witchcraft is this on earth!? Crime against humanity?

Honestly I don't know how relevant he is any more. He seems just like banging his head around and acting nonsense these days.
