  • Kann man auch als podcast nebenbei hören (via newpipe oder so). Ist schon empfehlenswert. Nichts ganz Neues dabei, klar, aber grade in Punkto Tierschutz - aber nicht nur - war das ein sehr offener Austausch.

    Und was mich immer besonders freut: Geprägt von gegenseitigem Respekt und echtem Interesse.



  • I always found the actual challenge to decide what to get rid of once the duplicates where found.

    Some tools I tried would also ask file-by-file, which I found a bit useless for thousand of files. Yet, I cannot even express a set of rules to decide this in general, so I’m not blaming the tools.

    In particular, with picture collections I also came to the conclusion that some redundancy is probably ok rather than accidentially deleting data that I duplicated on purpose and simply forgot why.





  • What do you recommend?

    If Signal was not simple, my family and friends would likely use Telegram or WhatsApp. Even switching to Signal required a number of (general) newspaper articles criticising the status quo. It’s likely not optimal, but okayish and sharing opinions and holiday impressions feels a bit better.

    Switching a service is a slow, difficult process and many contacts will not follow, given they would abandon other contacts among friends, family, parents at school, sports teams, … (now, I’m here, using 4+ solutions).

    If training or even curiosity for the technical process is required, very few people will follow. If it takes me (with strong IT background) more than 30 minutes to understand/implement, I may have a decent private solution, but I will feel quite lonely soon.



  • Nuclear power is usually not abandoned for being dangerous, but because it’s weirdly complex to keep it safe as compared to the alternatives. This makes it one of the most expensive ways to produce energy (at least given European regulations). Also, the raw material is expected to be quite rare relatively soon.

    I guess this may be more about the way caveman made their fire… and the multi-billion cavedollar structure for holding the magic stone can be annoying.





  • Just wanted to add that it’s a music sequencing/composition/recording tool. I also bought it some 20 years ago and they really delivered the lifetime free upgrade thing - bought some upgrades and plug-in packs now and then nonetheless - - great tool. I feel that presently, I use roughly 20% of its features, but I never find the time to dig deeper.
