Das neue Schuljahr hat begonnen und mir wird wieder bewusst, dass wahrscheinlich die Hälfte aller Word-Dokumente irgendwelche anarchisch gestalteten Papierformulare sind, die Eltern ausfüllen und an verschiedenen Stellen abgeben sollen.
Hey @nextcloud I think it's kind of creepy for the sync clients (desktop & android) to advertise the nextcloud conference. I believe the client should only inform users about things relevant to the instances it is interacting with.

Physical (de)centralization of XMPP servers – we took 1000+ XMPP servers and looked at their hosters:
https://gist.github.com/infosec-handbook/19f96587511d6d8ab79b564a7e0b3bdf
– about 50% of these servers are hosted by only 7 companies in 3 countries
– logical decentralization obviously doesn't imply physical decentralization
– more than 50% of servers are hosted in Germany, followed by the USA (10%) and France (7%)

"User Experience or UX swallowed other possible ways to see what an interface is and how it could be." http://www.contemporary-home-computing.org/affordance/ I am only slowly trying to get out of the UX-bubble I was blinded by.

I just realised Google News has an automatic Satire detection, which of course was a bad idea.
Here's for example some real news from France 24 (French public tv channel - kinda equivalent to BBC World News) flagged as "Satire".

The final ROM of What Remains is out! 🎉🎊
What Remains is an 8-bit interactive fiction and adventure video game for the #NES about environmental issues, the manipulation of public opinion, and whistleblowing.
Was für ein merkwürdiges Produkt... https://www.amazon.de/TrackPoint-Kappe-f%C3%BCr-ThinkPad-Gummi-Ersatzteil/dp/B005F2SDVG
Twitter (hier auch bekannt als "Birdsite") sperrt wegen eines drei Jahre alten Witzes auf Kosten von AfD-Wählern eines Rechtsanwalts dessen Zugang zur Plattform, wegen "Wahlmanipulation".
Kann man sich leicht ausdenken, wer dahintersteckt.
