Die FDP müsse da raus, die Ampel müsse enden. Er könne diese Fressen einfach nicht mehr sehen, soll Lindner gerufen haben.

Die wirst du jetzt bestimmt ganz, ganz lange nicht mehr sehen müssen.

Es ist einfach widerlich und krank, wie man auf Kosten des Landes taktiert. Warum ist sowas nicht strafbar?

Show the rest of the comic - I dare you!

Actually no, I hated the Vista era UI design. Linux themes were positively garish, add MacOS looked like a candy store. CDE greatly impressed me back then. It looked like it was made by adults for adults. Highly legible, and the pastel colors are being emulated by Solarized.

I’m sure that those UIs were a product of the times. The 90’s and noughties were loud and colorful and exciting and everything looked like a comic. Now that we live in more depressing times, we can look to the science of perceptual psychology.

You see, we have an attention budget, we need to process what we see. Visually complex UIs need to be parsed, and that takes mental effort, and that robs us of mental energy to focus on our work. It’s not a crippling effect, but it’s there.

Look at street signs and corporate logos, they easily lodge in our mind. Effective advertising has a clear and simple visual language, and this is what UIs should strive for.

What could’ve been his grudge against Andretti? On paper it made their bid made a lot of sense.

Slogging through FFXIII here. It’s super linear and repetitive, but just what I need right now.

Did I mention I’m lactose intolerant?

Schätze seine Chancen eher gering ein, aber ein Mann kann träumen…

Anderseits, er will was verändern, und das wird bestimmt nicht gut ankommen. Die Grünen müssen kräftig an ihre Kommunikation arbeiten.

I don’t know of it’s exactly that font, but it looks like OpenDyslexic.

Ich sekundiere dies.

The people here tend to talk funny and gatekeep about it, but if that doesn’t bother you - feel at home!

Just stop!

But what helped me: often smoking is part of a daily routine or ritual, so mix up your routine. Take up a new hobby or take the bus instead of the car. Go for a walk after lunch. Giving up smoking is a big change, so don’t be afraid to make big changes. Get new clothes. Make new friends. You have discarded your old identity as a smoker. Still smoking? Doesn’t matter! You already want to stop - you’re becoming that person already.

And don’t be so hard on yourself if you have a smoke now and then. Be conscious of what situation or routine triggered the reflex, and change it in future. If you have a smoke every few days or weeks, don’t sweat it, you’ve broken addiction as far as I’m concerned!

Thanks. Damn autocorrect.

Back in the 80s, Don Norman popularized the term affordance. Humans need something to push, pull, turn or otherwise interact with. We are physical beings in a physical world.

Driving vehicles is potentially life-endangering. Just because the technology is there and cheaper does not mean that humans can push aside their physiological limitations in a critical situation.

Take the emergency blinker. You know where it is, you see it all the time - it’s right there in front of you! But when a real emergency happens, you’ll be fumbling for the button, concentrating on the situation at hand. Now imagine that button on a touchscreen.

Also greatly helped by the free pitstop.

Was hat Landespolitik mit Außenpolitik zu tun? Wenn die BSW so wenig kompromissbereit ist dann sollen die halt in die Opposition gehen.

Just recently saw a video of an experimental self driving vehicle from Bosch - from the 90’s!

You could imagine we’d be much further now, considering how far computing power, computer vision and AI have come.

Also not exactly cheap!

If you’re into self-hosting there’s Wallabag, but it’s not half as slick as Omnivore.

I remember he was crazy like that during his first race in Brazil and thought he would calm down with the years. Nope, still crazy.

Crossing my fingers that Norris gains a spot or two at the start and doesn’t have to deal with Verstappen on track.
