Going to keep my Fairphone 3 at least until Christmas while saving up for the €699 investment.

Anyone else enjoying a pinned hash-tag follow on #mastodon for the city/area they live in?

Working with Angular Material: what bothers me is matInput vs mat-button - Why the mix of formatting conventions?

I am always very careful to ask a German, in German, if they already knew about a thing.

Using #Rsync for backing up the videos and pictures from my phone to a DAS (Direct-Attached Storage) on my #Fedora machine - it just works!™

In a further move to simplify my digital life I cancelled my IFTTT account. Wasn't really using it for anything really useful. It was fun for a while. But today I no longer need it.

Document your errors! There are no valid excuses to still show "Oops, an unknown error has occurred". It is horrible user experience and shows how little you care for your apps. #apps #development #webdev #ux If your app has an "oops" error, your app sucks. Period.

#mastodon

Deleted my Feedly account. Going full local instead of having to deal with web services.

Well - I've spent 15 Minutes on LinkedIn this evening and I feel drained.

Everyone was watching.

There was no time to lose.

I must deliver.

I must perform.

This.

This feeling.

This moment.

Pretty cool how a bug in web.whatsapp.com which occurred in Firefox since a couple of days, is being resolved so quickly by an active community and a savy and pretty cool front-end engineer at Meta.
