Because the generational shifts are *WITHIN* political blocs, not between them.
The multiparty-system context is fundamentally different from two-party systems.
RT @MortenStostad@twitter.com
English-speaking Millennials are reversing an age-old trend, becoming more progressive instead of conservative as they age.
But in the non-Anglophone West, Millennials look more or less like everyone else.

Just in time for the last day of the year, we reach the last two entries on my list of music I released in 2022.
#11 is "Multiplex", part of a song series of mine called "The Summer of '87", that I'm working up with my bandmates in The Calm Rads.
Based, as they say, on actual events...
"My plan to put my arm around you / Is as detailed as putting men on the Moon / How can this be so hard?"

And #12 in my list of music released this year is another solo number: "What Worlds Are For".
I thought it would be good to end with something that at least *sounds* upbeat.
Looking back, I was only able to develop a fraction of the ideas I had. But I suppose that leaves something for next year.
Happy new year to you all, especially to my fellow #FOSS musician-types and #ardour users!

I'm beginning to think that before reading, writing, rithmetic -- or in parallel -- young kiddies of the current era need to learn attention mastery and bullshit detection.

@moritz Habe #davmail auf dem MacBook laufen, und da hat es sich gemeldet, als das token abgelaufen ist. Zumindest der teil sollte funktionieren… Mein problem ist vor allem, dass es überhaupt nicht mit #mbsync harmonisiert. Jetzt ist es ein paar tage ohne fehlermeldung gelaufen, aber schon jammert mbsync wieder über volle input buffers :-/ Immerhin fehlen anscheinend noch keine nachrichten … Wenn es zuverlässig funktionieren würde, wäre es auch nicht so schlimm, dass es lahm ist …
@klaegermann @vcaston The comparison with the Catholic church is quite fitting ;-)
@moritz “The complete solution”—and nobody ever got fired for buying Microsoft :-/
Maybe we should meet next year and see whether we can at least get it working with DavMail.
@klaegermann @vcaston Exactly. However, I’ve only seen Raphael Rauch directly raise the issue of “publish or perish” https://www.kath.ch/newsd/carla-rossis-fake-institut-wirbt-mit-alibi-bibliothek-und-drogenanwalt/
@trinsec I now realize that it wasn’t obvious :-)
@trinsec Ah, that would have been a good idea ;-)
But this really is a horrific UI fail: when you write a review, there’s no indication that you'll have to come up with a nickname. And then you don’t know whether you can change it. So the only option is “Cancel.”

And "Jeane, If You're Ever in Portland" is one of the stand-out tracks on CFTPA's 2003 album "Twinkle Echo". If you don't know it yet, you should!
"Just say you'll come to Maine when the snow falls."

@moritz Same here. #OAuth2 is not about security. It’s about lock-in. #Microsoft 's goal is to ensure that when organizations use Exchange, all of their members are forced to use Outlook.
All the Swiss media reports on #RECEPTIOgate mention the ongoing plagiarism scandal at the University of St. Gallen and discuss the role of the institutions. Clearly, for us in Switzerland, this is not just about the plagiarism.

#9 and #10 on my year-end music review: my covers of "Say Yes" (by Elliott Smith) and "Jeane, If You're Ever in Portland" (by Casiotone for the Painfully Alone).
"Say Yes" has been one of my favourite songs since I first came across it in the late 90s.

#RECEPTIOgate in the German media: a short, but pointed notice in the Badische Zeitung. https://www.badische-zeitung.de/vorwuerfe-gegen-zuercher-uni-institut
