The bad thing with a DIY website: when things go wrong you are to blame. The good thing: you can fix it when something goes wrong.

The last few days I‘ve been working on creating an iOS app for my website
The last few days I‘ve been working on creating an iOS app for my website so I can publish easier when on mobile. While SwiftUI and it‘s tooling is still bugged it also made development much, much easier and less complex. I indeed enjoy the experience.

SwiftUI is not quite ready for prime time… everything is still rough, a lot of pieces are missing, things are bugged, documentation is… suboptimal.

Creating a SwiftUI application to publish to my website is more work than expected. But I am still pretty motivated! 😜

Ok, seriously: why is it always old, white men being the biggest assholes on earth?
Ok, seriously: why is it always old, white men being the biggest assholes on earth? When I was shopping this morning there was an old, white man standing directly in the entrance. When I politely asked him to step back so I could leave the building without getting to near to him he barely stepped back and laughed at me. Oh, and of course he wasn't wearing a mask. I called him an asshole and he screamed after me, telling me how this is all a hoax and I'm an idiot for believing it.
We do this social distancing and mask wearing shit mostly for people like him: old, overweight, male, probably high blood pressure - that's a whole lot of risk factors for dying because of COVID-19. I am still angry about this.

How is that simple? We failed for *years* implementing something like this. The closest we got to this is with GNOME keychain, but it still doesn‘t get it completely right...

This messenger thing gets out of hands
This messenger thing gets out of hands. On my phone I have installed:
- an email client
- iMessage
- WhatsApp (oh the peer pressure)
- Signal
- Threema
- Slack
- Riot
On my desktop computer I also have installed an IRC client. And I refuse to use Facebook messenger, Snapchat and probably some additional messenger I never heard of. This is ridiculous.

TIL: there is an aggregate function mode() WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY sort_expression) in #PostgreSQL
TIL: there is an aggregate function
mode() WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY sort_expression)in PostgreSQL. It returns the most frequent value of a group. So, for example when you have this table:CREATE TABLE foo (id serial, user_id integer, task_id integer);You can get the most frequent task ID for each user ID by using this aggregate function:
SELECT user_id, mode() WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY task_id) FROM foo GROUP BY user_id;

I'm seriously considering to switch again to a different distribution. Maybe back to Arch or something like that.

I get why Canonical hypes Snaps that much. But seriously, why do they have to be so fucking slow to start? A simple application I already use for ages, Hexchat, now takes more than 20 seconds to start. It feels like being back on spinning disks again, and worse, even slower.

„Die Zerstörung der Presse“ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkncijUZGKA
„Die Zerstörung der Presse“ – Ich finde den Stil zwar anstrengend (bin vermutlich einfach zu alt), aber er hat Recht. Viele Kritik-Punkte gehen mir auch schon seit Jahren gegen den Strich. Danke, Rezo.
