If anyone ever makes an Icelandic Taskmaster, then I'll be first in line to audition as the host.

Prefixing every single ISO standard with DIN is German exceptionalism in practice.

If you're in Berlin and want one of the most exciting bike infrastructure projects to become a reality then check out https://radbahn.berlin

Basically a 9km protected bike lane across the city under the U1/U3. The website has the details and if you have some time, fill out the survey (should be option 3 on the home page). I've tried the pilot track and it's lovely!

I expect that in about a year or so, Miles Car Sharing is going to rebrand itself as WeShare after repeated vandalism on their vehicle branding.

I will not correct anyone who says that Automattic is "the company behind WordPress" because at this point in time I'm actually not sure if it's wrong anymore.

@gmazzap Going that far discredits everyone outside of the company who's contributed for the past 20+ years.

@nixCraft it's when you request that someone pulls your finger and then you rip a giant fart as they do it.

Did you know: England is the least cool country in Britain.

Which makes sense in the same way Sweden is the least cool country in Scandinavia AND the Nordics.

@WhyNotZoidberg can confirm. Norway at least makes up for its people with the stunning landscape.

My general view on Icelandic media is that most of it is based on fabricating celebrity culture, shameless plagiarism and stealing popular television formats for local use.

Just saw a post about how The Flintstones movie came out 30 years ago, and honestly, I think that movie was a slab of genius.

Sure, the story is kinda dumb, but the loving care with which they created the whole world around it was worth the price of the ticket alone. ‘50s surburban Americana with Stone Age technology that looked for all the world like it was filmed in a theme park.

I was 13 on holiday in the US with my Dad, and it was perfect.

And for the record, the new "Dead on Arrival" video from @mac84tv is very useful and it makes me thankful for having such nice people pulling the wagon in the community.

The biggest cultural shock after moving to Berlin years ago and something that I will never get used to is attitudes towards sanitation and cleanliness at places that you would expect at least a minimum effort to be made like at gyms, restaurants and furniture shops.

In essence, German business owners love having a Reinigungskonzept but have no idea about the value of or how to clean themselves.

alda,
@alda@topspicy.social avatar

I think this may be related to how they start segregating children at an early age and how middle class people who tend up running businesses have never done any cleaning or retail work in their lives.

Low-grade kids go to Realschule and the middle class kids who get help from their parents get to go to Gymnasium. One group never needs to take on odd jobs to sustain themselves while in school while the other gets to float through their education on a pink cloud made of cheap student loans.

Not going to link to the actual review because I don’t care and will not care about the movie in question, but I find it interesting how quickly and thoroughly the meaning of “AI” in the public vocabulary as shifted from “futuristic automated intelligence” to “bad and lazily made”

alda,
@alda@topspicy.social avatar

@baldur I don't know... This also sounds like when people go "we can always tell" with suspected CGI.

A friend's first feature length film was tanked by critiques at RÚV and elsewhere for elements that they thought were CGI but were mainly blood-sweat-and-tears levels of costume design.

alda,
@alda@topspicy.social avatar

@baldur that's true though. You just have to see tech recruitment tactics for the past 2 years.

Hot take: There should be a line break between } in an if statement and else {, so it's easier to get a comment in there.

This post is open to "how dare you" comments.

@ddlyh Sort of, but this is also largely a self-criticism post about my own linter rules.
