ACH DU HEILIGER BIMBAMM, da wäre ich ja nie drauf gekommen! Jahrzehnte lang hab ich das nicht hinbekommen... 🤦‍♀️

I ditched Twitter…

... for all the obvious reasons.

Since then, I have noticed that I had addictive behavioural patterns. Given the relative smallness (is that a word) of the Fediverse, I hope I will do more sensible stuff with my time.

I had noticed this before, when I ditched Facebook. So, bottom line: "social media" isn't good for me.

Honestly, I'm a bit disappointed by @unicode for having now two different truck emojis (plus all sorts of other weird car-centric stuff) but rejecting the 'no cars' proposal.
However, I still encourage everyone to submit proposals! @SheDrivesMobility

Dear Christian,

Thank you for submitting an emoji proposal for "No cars". We appreciate all of the effort that went into its preparation.

Each year, the Unicode Emoji Subcommittee receives far more emoji proposals than the very limited number that can be encoded. We are sorry to inform you that your proposal was not among those selected to move forward.

As a small, volunteer-run nonprofit we can’t provide individualized feedback on each proposal. We understand this may come as a disappointment. Thank you again for taking the time to contribute to the Unicode Standard.

Respectfully,

The Unicode Emoji Subcommittee

Hab nur ich ein Problem damit, dass ein Fernwärmeanbieter, der 53% mit Gas und 41% mit Müll heizt, einen auf Ökowärme macht?

Post aus der Apokalypse! Wo hier ein Spielplatz 😱 ist, könnten 10m Querschnitt Teer 😻 und zwei Reihen geparkte Pkw stehen 🤌. Amsterdam braucht dringend Hilfe von Wissing und Buttigieg! Hilfe!

Wer außer mir bekommt Plaque, wenn er sowas sieht? 👇 heißt Unified Resource Locator aus Gründen 😩

The annoyance by pavement and walkways blocked by parked cars has been rising again when I went back to parental leave with our second child. Now finally, I am plugging together a little contraption (that is essentially an @openbikesensor@twitter.com )

Honestly, this makes me furious: The product is 20x20 mm, the package is 140x140 mm.
Why? Because driver CD 🤦
There are 80 mm Mini-CDs that would've cut edge length by 1/3.

Xerox WorkCentre 3225 works with CUPS’ Xerox WorkCentre 7345 Driver

Xerox WorkCentre 3225's driver for ARM does not support many SBCs (like Raspberry Pi or Tinkerboard). However, you can select the WorkCentre 7345 driver that ships with CUPS and Bob's your uncle.

Man darf fragen, warum ein Lkw mit Anhänger durch ein Wohngebiet fahren muss.

Man darf aber auch fragen, warum der Pkw dahinter seit einer Woche unbehelligt vom im 5m-Bereich der Kreuzung steht.

Drum roll!
The glass backside of the display module shattered. Bummer. Replacements are hard to come by.

If anyone needs a mainboard or even a battery (1750mAh, 3.7V), let me know.

Uh-oh. After ten years this happened. So, I guess, I'll have a look inside my Kindle after all. Any hints?
