Sehr viele deutsche "Gartenbau"-Firmen haben echt keine Ahnung, was Klima-Resilienz ist. Oder sie scheißen darauf. Aktuelles Symbolfoto aus #Flensburg

In den letzten Wochen bekomme ich täglich 1-2 Anrufe von einem Callcenter mit einer Berliner Nummer. Es sind Scammer. Die Telefonnummer wechselt täglich, d.h. sie zählt jeden Tag eins hoch (+4930…601 → +4930…602). Abhilfe schafft Simple Call Blocker für iOS, welches Nummernblöcke blocken kann. Die Anrufe werden dann einfach automatisch weggedrückt. Praktisch und umsonst! https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/simple-call-blocker/id1409872025?ls=1&mt=8

Ja, verdammte Scheiße. Ich wäre nicht verwundert, wenn das Ticket 2029 um die €90 kostet und dann 2030 weg wäre, "weil keine Nachfrage existiert". Aber wenigstens das Dienstwagenprivileg ist gesichert finanziert.

> What’s happening across Sub-Saharan Africa right now is the most ambitious infrastructure project in human history, except it’s not being built by governments or utilities or World Bank consortiums. It’s being built by startups selling #solar panels to farmers on payment plans. And it’s working.

> […] 400,000 new solar installations every month across Africa. 50% market share captured by companies that didn’t exist 15 years ago. Carbon credits subsidizing the cost.

#ProductHunt is a *fantastic way* to get involuntarily noticed by a thousand different hustlers and signed up to their newsletters.

(I don't think PH itself is at fault but I guess they get scraped a lot.)

RE: @gerrymcgovern@mastodon.green

Counter argument:

Literally yesterday I was working on a sqlite3-based experiment with Opus 4.6. Initial SQL queries were successful but Claude looked at the timing, mentioned that 1s is way too much for a query like this, spent 10 more seconds on the code, and then the (complex) query only took 0.02s.

Sorry if that doesn't fit the very simplistic "all AI bad" narrative but as with any tool, it depends on what you do with it and how you use it.

Die Deutsche #Umwelthilfe braucht wieder ein paar Unterschriften, um Druck zu machen:

> [Wir fordern als Entlastung in der aktuellen Ölkrise] ein bundesweit gültiges 29-Euro-Ticket – für mindestens 12 Monate. Das wäre eine Entlastung, die sofort wirkt und Millionen Menschen erreicht. Keine neuen Tankrabatte. Keine höhere Pendlerpauschale. Keine neuen Dieselgeschenke.

https://mitmachen.duh.de/deutschlandticket/?wc=NL_DI_260428

(Nebenbei: Wir sind auch Klimaklagen-Paten der DUH. Das ist ein sehr guter Hebel, etwas zu bewirken.)

"That's not who we are" can be correct on a personal or hyper-local level — but as a nation, to most of us looking in from the outside, that's definitely very much who you are.

Not meant as a diss, just an observation.

@ricobeck@mastodon.social Yes. But that's what a lot of "AI IS BAD AND STUPID" people conveniently leave out; maybe they don't understand, maybe they do but choose to ignore it, I don't know. It's an *entirely* new piece of kit, a *wholly* new kind of tool. There's nuance.

If people don't want to see that or acknowledge that, it says more about them than about the technology.

Humans…

Do I know anybody who participated in BundleHunt as a developer, with their own apps?

I was invited to join one of the next rounds, and I wonder whether that's a good idea or not. What were your experiences, would you do it again?

@isaiah@mastodon.social I think Claude Code defaults to Opus 4.6 when you're on a Max plan. I am (€90/month). I was on the Pro plan for a few weeks but heard too many good things about Opus which wasn't available on Pro. So as an experiment, I upgraded tentatively to Max for a month to see the difference. That was 3 months ago. 😉 The bigger 5h limits are ace, and IMHO Opus works *much* better (iOS/macOS Swift dev, mostly), therefore I decided it's worth it for me. But I had to test drive it to figure it out.

#Notifuse is pretty overall but the drag-and-drop template editor doesn't do it for me. It insists on centering content within the available width in the recipient's mail client, and I don't care for that look at all. Plus the terminology is a bit weird. Newsletter issues are "templates", campaigns are "broadcasts"… okay. Not a big deal but my confusion added to the learning curve. It's really not bad, yet I don't think it's for me. https://www.notifuse.com/

Turns out it was #Ghostty. No issues in either Terminal or #iTerm2.

Started working on Euro localization for BarCuts. German first (for obvious reasons), followed by Italian, French, Spanish, & Polish.

Been postponing l10n for a while, but it's time. Had an interesting clanker-related idea to achieve good quality, we'll see.

#Xcode, the perfect IDE for people who are already highly proficient in Xcode

It's good once you got the hang of it but it's so fukken opaque in some regards. Dependency tree can't be built? You can get to the root of that using the CLI but you're not told that. Xcode doesn't surface it. Half-baked

Desktop PWA support is still … man, I don't know.

- Chrome-based browsers: support tabs, but I can't get deeplinks to work 👎🏼
- Vivaldi: no tab support, in the past swallowed `alert()`, `prompt()` etc. whole 😬
- Safari: no tabs 🤷🏻‍♂️
- Firefox: I'm too lazy to search for an emoji to express my feelings regarding the sorry state of Firefox on macOS (no scripting support, generally a black box, no PWA, …)
