There’s this one Nazi CEO that I hope we can agree either has no soul or at least one that we could do without. Yet we’re not killing him.

Killing people is wrong and while there may be factors that make it seem more warranted, nothing will ever make it right.

Nice! Might throw this on my x220 once I finally repaste and clean that poor thing 😅

That netbook is not what I would consider a ThinkPad. And distro wise, is crunchbang still a thing? Something simple with openbox or max xfce would probably be a smart choice. This thing won’t be fun for builds or other compute heavy tasks. For browsing the web and chats it’s probably fine

Tried that many times. It has given me the exact same place for slightly cheaper than AirBnB once. Other times it was more expensive but most often of simply had worse choices.

I guess: great concept, shitty company.

Like with so many “tech giants”, they had a great idea but greed is spoiling it. I wish we had more “public infrastructure” for this. I’d love to have OSS, tax-funded or at least heavily regulated SoMe, video sharing, home swapping/renting, local marketplace, … Those should not be industries, they should be part of our society’s fabric like the fire department or trash pick-up.

I share a lot of of the criticism towards AirBnB. However, I’ve often ended up using them either way. We travel with a dog and a toddler. They need to be allowed in the first place. And ideally we get a kitchen, a separate room so we can still have normal noise and light when the kid sleeps. Often we even find Airbnbs with toys, kids books, dog beds, treats on the table when we arrive, …

You simply don’t get that in hotels. At least not in a price range I’ve considered so far

Car drivers kill a lot more people than terrorists in Germany. Yet the latter get all the lawmakers rile up for more surveillance

Can’t we ever have software that just keeps working? Password managers are like the new RSS readers.

1. search around for a good one
2. find a nice one and start using it
3. they add stuff you didn’t want and slowly make it worse
4. they’re bought up/ abandoned/ otherwise become unviable
