This post covers both Germany and France. What a shit show.

I just voted in the 🇪🇺 #European #Elections for the first time in France and boy do I have notes. French people, do you always vote like this?!

Positive: at 8am the polls were already busy with queues. My past experience is voting in a small town in Germany where you walk in and out in 5 minutes, so I can't compare voting in a larger city to that.

However, I imagine the process with ID check, voter lookup, signature, stampig of voting card isn't helping. (1/5)

What's worse, in the last 10 years I've voted by mail in Germany - a process which DOES NOT EXIST in France. At best you can vote by proxy 😮 That’s bizarre, to be honest.

But here's the thing that baffled me to a degree I had to go ask for help how to actually vote.

When I came into the polling station I noticed a bunch (almost three dozen) of stacks of what looked like political party information flyers. A4 (about letter size) sheets that were printed in party colours. (2/5)

@europeanspodcast I wonder if voting practices across the EU might be an interesting topic. There must be more examples where they differ!

I want to hug past self for leaving this conditional in a test. Guy knew exactly that'd have no memory of this whole affair and left all the right nuggets in place to jug my memory ❤️

Also, nice neologism “tempoorarily” 👌

Think we’re being a bit harsh on Applause. We’ve all bought an app and then didn’t know how to use it.

The good news is that the Setapp version of Bartender is still on 5.0.48.

But it's probably a good idea to remove its Screenrecording permissions and block it with Little Snitch until there's more clarity around the situation.

Little Snitch rule showing Bartender is blocked from making outgoing network connections.

There was this faint noise coming from the direction of my MacStudio that I hadn't heard before and it took me a moment to realise it's the fans.

I was about to reboot - surely something's wrong here! - when I noticed the MacWhisper window where I'd started transcribing a 7.5h YouTube video 😅

There's no CPU load at all, which is why I missed it, but now I see the GPUs have been at it full tilt!

Looks I made a good call deleting that Zoom CEO interview from my feed straight away. As much as I appreciate @reckless1280 generally doing a decent job cutting through BS, you always end up with some splatter and I just didn’t have the nerve for it.

Wow, I can't believe readjusting my 5G router's antennas had such a huge effect. Same location, changed just the angle.

Thanks to a good friend of mine I have a “tarta de queso” (cheesecake) recipe that is the Squarespace of baking. Even I cannot mess this up and I think this one turned out particularly well.

Has about a million calories per gram 🤣

If there's an iPhone or iPad app in the app store that is not selected for using on M1+ Macs, is there a way to run it on the Mac anyway?

@uliwitness There used to be but AFAIK that hole has been plugged.

there is a guy, who says that Swift on Windows is more complete than Swift on Linux. let that sink in 🤔 #swiftlang

@compnerd So this worked really well in getting me started and now I’ve of course run head first into the wall that is swift-nio on Windows 😅

You don’t happen to have your fork available somewhere so I could give it a try?
