The sad state of burning to CD media on Linux...

Now running on PHP 8.1

Why are we keeping all our sent emails in a single folder? Why not organise it by recipient or thread?

Onder de noemer, wat is de Vlaamse taal mooi: de definitie van het woord "gerief"; " Doet dat computergerief eens van de tafel af, we gaan eten."

Anyone else enjoying a pinned hash-tag follow on 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 for backing up the videos and pictures from my phone to a DAS (Direct-Attached Storage) on my 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. If your app has an "oops" error, your app sucks. Period.

With the raging forest fires going around the Globe, I was wondering how the "Svalbard Global Seed Vault" is doing? What if all plants burn before we gather the ability to restore what was lost? cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svalbard_Global_Seed_Vault

I would want an image recognition AI to be able to identify the groceries I just bought from a simple picture I took with my phone, so I can keep track of my household supplies without having to type and enter anything myself in a database.

Excuse me for metzgerei-ing the German Language.

Whoopsie - cannot handle PHP 8 yet and my hosting provider had switched over to the latest version automatically. So now that is a good incentive for me to try to get this old lady to work on the fancy PHP8 version as well.

Since there is no algorithm on Mastodon to show you potentially interesting toots and posts from people on the other side of the Globe, it is the duty of early risers to go through their feeds first thing in the morning, and boost.

Johan Bové

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

Johan Bové

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

Johan Bové

Everyone was watching.

There was no time to lose.

I must deliver.

I must perform.

This.

This feeling.

This moment.

This – is egotistical.

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. Kudos to Egrodo for their help! cf. https://webcompat.com/issues/125920#issuecomment-1682993012 and https://github.com/Egrodo
