yeah, true. I didn’t think about that. Unavoidable, I guess.

In Germany there is no such thing.

Didn’t he get the 3rd Reich reference of the poster or doesn’t he care?

This is an agenda pushed by the right. They don’t understand the difference between guilt / responsibility for what happened and responsibility to not let it happen again.

We are not guilty nor responsible for what happened during WW2, but we are responsible to not let it ever happen again.

This.

Additionally, the nazis built infrastructure (trains, KZs, …) just to kill Jews. They optimized it to maximize the amount of Jews to bring into KZs, they built the infamous gas showers and gas chambers to be able to kill more people more efficiently.

They industrialized genocide.

While there were many cruel mass murders, this industrialization thing makes it unique so far.

Greetings from a fellow German.

It’s just a tribute.

Came here to write something like that. 💯

hey, congrats! :-) have fun with your extra free time!

And here I am, working for the same company for over two decades 🤷

Considering that an ex-president who invaded a country under a proven false pretext and in violation of international law and has a million Iraqi civilians on his conscience is still painting his little pictures in Texas, perhaps the Supreme Court decision is not as big a break as some seem to think?

Yeah, I was surprised, too. I guess they implemented stuff using Ruby and didn’t bother to write an in-house implementation. 🤷‍♂️

Apple deployed a library I wrote to every mac on the world, and additionally bundles it with Xcode.

Apple users reported some bugs, that‘s how I found out.

I never heard a word from them. No patches, no bug reports, nothing, they didn’t even bother to refresh the bundled version.

I think in the meantime they removed it from macOS but still bundle it with Xcode.

I mean, I didn’t any money, but some appreciation would’ve been nice, and a version refresh…

If you are curious: it is this library: https://github.com/ckruse/CFPropertyList

Edit: appreciation as in: a mail with a notice that they did so.

I believe most of DACH learned writing web pages with SELFHTML. Those were the times :-)

It’s a pleasure!

It’s a german language forum. I guessed that it is not very interesting to most people reading here because of the language barrier. But I’m happy to share the link: https://forum.selfhtml.org/

yeah, I feel this. Currently it is mainly nostalgia and memorial why we keep it running.

I am running a forum (about web technologies), and have been doing so for about 24 years (damn. I’m old). I had some spam problems, but was able to get rid of it.

It probably helps that I wrote the software myself (24 years ago there weren’t many forum software projects).

But the traffic is declining. The peak was around 2003-2005, with >500 posts per day, and is slowly declining since then with a massive drop last year (about 19 posts per day). Young people only rarely use the forum anymore, despite massive modernization efforts, and the older people slowly disappear.

If the trend continues we will shut it down in a year or two.

ah, right - didn’t think about that. Thanks.

ok, I’m curious. How do you know I’m german? :-)
