How did I miss that there was a new 2600 released? I really need some kind of subscription or at least a reminder or so…
Ich lese seit Jahrzehnten mal wieder die Drei ??? Ich habe total vergessen wieviel mehr Details in den Büchern als in den Hörspielen sind. Und manches kommt mir vor, als ob ich es nie gelesen hätte (zB der Super-Papagei)
Hmm: „You may not: (i) modify, disassemble, decompile or reverse engineer the Mobile Software, except to the extent that such restriction is expressly prohibited by law“ #vero
Interesting: Vero declares that I own my content but I give them more or less permission to do anything with it (which they technically need for the service) but it is „irrevocable“. Thus they directly say that they will never delete my content even when I close my account.
I am getting old: I read about a new online service and instead of clicking myself directly an account, I read the Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use before I do anything else…
According to Reuters, Apple will soon move keys for Chinese users to data centers in China, so that authorities can always access them. They have to for complying with Chinese law. But this shows why we need a decentralized infrastructure independent from big corporations.

Google Music and other streaming-services seem to be like Netflix: music gets deleted & re-added depending on licensing I guess. Well, it’s just a subscription and you do not own the music. But I pay now more for music because of streaming in a year than I did ever before
The Google Support doesn’t seem to know what it is doing and seems to be less knowledgeable about things like gmail/googlemail in its accounts than me…
Ich fange jetzt an die Drei ??? als ebooks nachzukaufen. Fast 200 Bände (ohne Sonderteile)…das wird dauern.
I finished Altered Carbon. This series is so great. Really great transhumanic crime story and it looks like my imagination when I read cyberpunk or post-cyberpunk stories. Can’t wait to read the books now.
Priorities: „Florida House declares porn a public health risk shortly after denying assault rifle ban“
And the next family member who will move from macOS to Linux when the current laptop breaks (actually it is already not upgradable anymore from macOS 10.6…) because Macs are just too expensive compared to used Thinkpads.
I’ve beaten now the clone in Wily Stage 2 in Rockman. This is a real hard game. No weapon refills between stages is evil.
Jeremy Parish in the latest retronauts-episode (FF VI): „There was a real quality curve to Square‘s 16-bit-output. Like they started out very good and you ended up with Chrono Trigger.“
Today a pupil in the school of my son told that his father had an old video game-console, too.
It is a PlayStation 3…
Dear iOS-game devs: I always look at the IAP before I download a game and when I see that there are only consumables to buy, I do not even download your game when I can’t figure out if I need those to have a playable game.
My mastodon-timeline gets more interesting. So, I will probably use it more. You can find me at nielsk@mastodon.social
A podcast where the (remote) guest has apparently music running in the background…making the already mediocre audio-quality even worse.

I wonder if there are any Linux- or *BSD-users on micro.blog. My timeline shows only Mac-users so far…
Current state of Rockman: thanks to lots of quick saving I advanced to the Wily Stages. I didn’t have to backtrack to the magnet beam because I tackled Guts Man first. I really hate the start of the stage.
Mein Japanologie-Studium hat einen Nutzen: ich kann es mir als Nebenfach im Informatikstudium anrechnen lassen ;)
