Gutted but not surprised to hear about the destruction of the memorial in Waldenburg to the 1,100 concentration camp prisoners who marched from Altenburg to Waldenburg in 1945.
It's been 80 years and some still haven't learnt what it means to be HUMAN.

„Das ist schockierend“: Gedenkstele kurz nach dem „Marsch des Lebens“ in Waldenburg zerstört
Die Tafel mit dem Titel „Waldenburg im April 1945 – Stimmen gegen das Vergessen“ wurde zwischen Dienstagabend und Donnerstagfrüh herausgerissen. Nun ermittelt der Staatsschutz. Was bisher bekannt ist.

The Direct Match feature in @vivaldibrowser.bsky.social is unreliable (even a bit fishy). I've reported the issue here forum.vivaldi.net/topic/106212...
I am hoping someone can shed some light.

There's something that seems dodgy with @vivaldibrowser.bsky.social's URL bar when selecting an option from the suggested dropdown list. If I select a amazon.de, I get redirected briefly to a completely different address ww44.affinity.net and then to amazon.co.uk
Any ideas?

I've been using @bitwarden.bsky.social premium since a few years, but the latest update is quite a mess. It looks like something they hastily rolled out. The new "fill" feature is quite limiting, I preferred the options that were displayed earlier. Also autofill of forms is very random and annoying.

Loving the AI features of @raycast.com but the AI Chat is getting quite cluttered. Is there not a quick way to manage or delete old chats?

Pretty crazy that Switchbot's API has been down the whole day and there hasn't been a word from their support or tech department. I've opened this GitHub issue this morning and there are loads of other folks with the same problem.

To the #php developers out there, if you use PhpStorm and Twig, are you also seeing something weird? I am getting simple twig code being highlighted as errors and no autocompletion inside div elements. I am on PhpStorm 2024.3. Just reported the issue here youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WI-800...

It's finally time to stop ditch Photoshop for Gimp. I've always hesitate moving to Gimp because of having to lear new hotkeys and different locations for tools making it too time consuming. But PhotoGIMP looks very very promising.

Wow! Finally a mobile browser that brings in some innovation! It’s also what I would have expected @vivaldibrowser.bsky.social should have done on mobile. Still Vivaldi is great though for desktop.
What the heck? Trying out the Quiche browser for iOS from @quiche.industries

Frickin amazing.
What’s the catch?
A superb product. This is what Arc should have done on mobile.
