@mrc Ha. I’m not sure that’s reassuring. That’s like me and Alexanderplatz in Berlin. Like you mean I, a Berlin resident, would go there? Hell no! 🙂 (I’m aware you don’t live in Budapest itself but still)
So I’ve been planning to do a #gravel ride from Berlin to Budapest (or Vienna) this May, but after 5 days of partially offroad #bikepacking in Hungary I have some doubts whether I want another week of Eastern European Offroads :D Any suggestions for a long gravel or cyclepath-only, mostly nature route not too far from Berlin or Budapest? (Also somewhere not too hot:) #cycling#touring
@mariusor I know EV6 and riding it is on my bucket list, but I might want something that avoids bigger towns entirely. Something riverside might be a good idea..
My 2+ decades of experience says there lies incredible long-term pain when committing to this "architectureless" architecture, but also see no compelling alternatives that give first-class back-end support for offline-first mobile applications.
Is it just me, or did #Facebook recently kill #Messenger video calls in #Firefox on macOS? It used to work until a few weeks ago, now the call button isn't even there where it used to be. Works fine in Chrome. Time to convert my mom to #Signal?
Do I know someone who knows someone who has good #Python, #Django and front-end skills, and is interested in helping me out on #freelance basis in late March and April? #FediHire#Hiring
Success, old laptop is back up and running. Despite it is from 2012, equipped with an Intel Core i3 processor and 4GB RAM, and was completely unusable (extremely slow) under Windows 7, it's an OK experience with Firefox and a minimal Linux desktop. \o/
Just learned about this trend of people filming themselves while being laid off and posting it on social media, some getting millions of views. I’m laughing my ass off, this is amazing:) (Not the layoffs but the way HR bullshit is surfacing publicly.) Go Gen Z!
This of course won’t prevent mass layoffs (often caused by irresponsible hiring) but at least might make the process more humane and transparent. Bullshitting is worse PR than admitting fuckup!
I accidentally learned that iOS now transcribes voicemail messages on the fly. Pretty cool, I will never have to pick up the phone for recruiters and sales calls again:)
@gernot No, this is a Hungarian SIM from Yettel. Is this something the carrier needs to support? I don’t even understand how it works, is the carrier recording and streaming to the device the same time? Or everything happens on the phone?
I recently learned that one can take a #ferry from Denmark to #Iceland (2 days 1 way) and I am now spoiled and want to do a #Berlin-to-Iceland cycling trip, crossing off two, maybe three bucket list items. (Berlin-Denmark cycling trip, Iceland cycling trip, seeing an active volcano).
The ferry is rather pricey, about 1200 EUR round trip in a windowless double room. But I can do the rest dirtbag style to save some money :)
Now I should ideally find a companion. Anyone interested?
Now that I own a #cassette player again, I learned that there are still albums released on tape, occasionally. Too bad this one costs $60, worth more than the entire "music center" :D
@cdamian Neat, although I have no big ambitions with cassettes, you got me interested:) Will definitely try to buy something fresh on #cassette, maybe locally in Berlin or Budapest. I might even have a vintage #Walkman somewhere!
