@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
Not sure why the author of the latter felt the need to use words like “Internet mob” and “inquisition.” Conclusion: “The Swiss National Fund has meanwhile announced an investigation, as has the University of Zurich. The results are still be weeks away. By then, the network will have long since pronounced its verdict.”
#RECEPTIOgate in the Swiss press: 20 minuten published a short article already on Dec 27 https://www.20min.ch/story/zuercher-professorin-wird-plagiat-vorgeworfen-sie-streitet-die-vorwuerfe-ab-388708992016
CH Media newspapers (e.g., Aargauer Zeitung) published a longer one on Dec 29

One of the nice things about Inform 7 is that you can do a lot of things without knowing a lot. You can have a room (code is preceded by an asterisk *):
*The kitchen is a room.
You can put an oven there:
*The oven is in the kitchen.
Describe it:
*The description of the oven is "This electric oven was likely built in the late 70s. It is covered in chipped, white paint."
You can stop the player from carrying it off:
*The oven is fixed in place.

@mob Der NZZ-artikel ist erschreckend schwach (hätte ich vom autor nicht erwartet), und beim Tagi schläft man offenbar. Verstehe ich nicht.

When it was completed in 1936 for the League of Nations, the Palais des Nations in #Geneva was actually the second largest building complex in Europe, after Versailles ! The design was a collaboration between Julien Flegenheimer (Switzerland), Camille Lefèvre (France), Henri-Pail Nénot (France), Carlo Broggi (Italy) and József Vágó (Hungary). Today it is the second largest office site of the United Nations. #architecture #unitednations

By September 2021, RECEPTIO had turned itself into "a philological and codicological hub" and "the only European centre of higher codicological specialisation for consultants of auction houses and antiquarian galleries." (screenshot from WayBack Machine attached)
