@FUrsprung@troet.cafe @samsteiner@swiss.social ich blocke niemand mehr, solange sie nicht stören. Ich poste ja eh alles public, man muss mir nicht folgen um es zu lesen, resp. mehr von mir zu erfahren.

One of my favorite podcasts with a new interesting episodes. And the flip side of AI deepfakes. «How to prove you’re not AI» by Close All Tabs, with Morgan Sung

That finder icon looks finally really good.

I am searching for interesting people to follow here coming from #SEA, #Bangkok, #Thailand, #Vietnam, or #Manila, #Philippines?

Any recommendations?

@eay@eay.social Ich finde es sehr gut, was Apple hier macht. Aber die Frage ist halt, ob es auch funktioniert. Die alte Funktion war einfach zu fehlerhaft. Ich erhalte ab und zu immer noch Anfragen für eine Freigabe von mehr Zeit, selbst wenn ich diese Begrenzung rausgelöscht habe.

@eay@eay.social Ehrlich: Ich glaube nicht, dass dies die Aufgabe des Gesetzgebers ist. Absolut überreguliert ist die EU bereits. Man kann einfach auch zu viele Gesetze haben.

@eay@eay.social Schade. Ich mochte das Design. Aber ein Regler ist wohl ein guter Kompromiss.

Playlist on Apple Music was updated today. Still, it plays last week’s song, even on the screen I see the new songs. Also restarted the app.

My wish for the #WWDC - fix these bugs. If the Spotify app is better on Mac, you are doing something wrong.

While I’m sitting at the airport, junior is keeping the goal save. Go go go, goalkeeper Diego!

Somehow, I closed this week 175 tasks. 😳 What a week. But now, I go get a good Vietnamese beer.

Using @soapboxsoftware@mastodon.social now for around a week. On Mac and on iOS, the way to go. Meanwhile also my feeds are loading.

There are small things, I would love to see, like a threaded view in the timeline (original post & answer together). But the function to show crossposts just awesome!

While I am on the way to my next adventure in the #Philippines, I am posting some screenshots from my newest video. I was walking through Malate, Pasay, and Poblacion. What a great weekend!

Amazing people all around. Stay tuned, the video is coming Thursday.

Son did set up his own Discord server to chat with his YouTube followers. So I joined the community.

Learning of today? Bro, I need a translation app. But I learned also today: «Alr br nc to meet ya»

Do you remember Foursquare? That app to check in? Today, I met a person I followed for 10 years, for the very first time. She had still Swiss coins at home, and she knew that I’m Swiss. We met at the MTR station to exchange money and talked for 40 minutes. 😀

I just published a new blogpost about #Productivity and why a lot of people loose control of their workday.

@Gargron@mastodon.social Congratulations! That time I got dad. It was a good time. Now I’m 12 years older and my son challenges me daily✌️ But still a good time. Maybe even better. Wishing you all the best!

I created for once a blog post about #Productivity and #Taskmanagement, as I see them often failing with the huge workload nowadays. In the next months, I will create more content on that topic.

"A four-day, four-night expedition across 250km of remote northern Palawan, connecting El Nido to Coron. Travelling by traditional bangka through hidden coves and deserted beaches, snorkel over thriving reefs and sleep under the stars in Tao’s bamboo basecamps."

OK. I am in. Booked! 🇵🇭 Coming in February.

We explored Kandy’s markets and cooked authentic food, then took the famous train to Ella. We biked in Ella, hiked Mini Adams Peak, zip-lined over the valleys. Sri Lanka was great!

I’m trying to set up the Fediverse account for my travel blog. Seems the account is now mostly visible: @wyssdaniel@travel-explore.asia

Did I do that correctly? Can you see that? 🤔
