A good tax advisor is worth their fee in gold.

As it turns out, you can write a newsletter as a freelancer in Germany and also sell your work (because you are basically an author) to subscribers. But as soon as you include ads in your newsletter, that’s now a “proper” business and you are running the risk of losing your freelance status — which is why you should rather register a separate business instead… 🥴

Why do taxes when you can read a newsletter? Right? Right??

After all those years, I finally found the solution for the problem that cursor:pointer suddenly doesn't work properly anymore in all browsers on macOS:

Close Photoshop.

@heydon But that would be like using a second hammer, I guess… 🔨🔨

I don't even remember why anymore but a couple of days ago I thought that I should give listening to classical music a shot. So I tried The Four Seasons by Vivaldi, and fuck me, that stuff is amazing! I never actively listened to classical music before and I was immediately blown away!

matthiasott,
@matthiasott@mastodon.social avatar

@matuzo You might enjoy Max Richter’s recomposed version of the Four Seasons then. Also, his soundtrack for My Brilliant Friend is …brilliant.

And if you like piano music, Igor Levit playing all Beethoven sonatas is incredible. Classics like No. 21 (”Waldstein”) and No. 23 (“Appassionata”), but especially the later ones, where Beethoven – already deaf – went really wild. Like in the third movement of No. 30 or also sonata No. 32, where he basically wrote jazz/ragtime music 70 years early… 🤯

Oh cool, they’re using AI to [checks notes] determine my children’s academic prospects!?!!?

@davatron5000 Wow. 😳

Consider moving to Germany! Our school system is far from “achieving” anything like that before the year 2150… 😂

Has anyone of you worked with Relume yet? It looks well-designed but I’m always skeptical if something sounds too good to be true (“Effortlessly generate sitemaps and wireframes for marketing websites in minutes.” “Watch AI turn your wires into polished designs with a ready to use design system ready for dev.”).

Because it is usually not true.

“Another problem I had with all my folder full o’ posts strategy was that I didn’t know whether a post was nearly done or a scrap of an idea. I was lost. Every two months or so I’d have to click through each file to repopulate my memory buffer with the statuses of each post. […]
I needed a tool to make sense of those words. […]
It’s overkill, but it’s my overkill, and I love it.”

Bloggers and writers! Which tool(s) are you using to draft and write your posts or articles? And how do you keep track of the status of a piece (idea/draft/edited/published etc.)?

Do I want to try and install Word 97 just to prove to myself there really was an HTML editor built into it?

I swear that's how I learned HTML. I think for my personal history I need to know. And take some decent screenshots...

@matthiasott@mastodon.social avatar

@sarajw Yes, or it wasn’t part of Office at all? I don’t remember…

Ha! That sounds like it wasn’t included.
