Not sure that I really like where Microsoft is taking VSCode - it looks like soon it will be just another frontend for them to sell Github Copilot subscriptions.

After testing Vivaldi for a couple of weeks I am convinced this is a great browser and to support the team behind it, I decided to start sending them a couple of Euro monthly, just to keep the momentum going.

If all Orange Face Elefant party voters would take them on their words and make them actually do whatever insane world they invented, then perhaps people will realize the grave mistake that was made today. Many people have to feel consequences before they believe it. I hope there will still be history books in the future to disclose the insanity for future generations. But whatever happens, the World will keep spinning...

@Codebuzz I have separate mail boxes for private and work, but flattened both to have a simpler structure. For work, where we use Outlook, I am using categories for organising the mails and privately I am using Vivaldi's labels system. The main idea is to use search and grouping through dynamic saved searches instead of static folders.

I wish I could absorb some of the horrors the rescue workers will encounter in Valencia's underground garages and basements, so they could somewhat manage on with their own lives after... #realheroes #cannotunsee

So I've flattened my work and private email inboxes to single inbox folders and I don't even know anymore what I was thinking before trying frantically to organise everything in sub folders. Labels and search filters are the way forward.

Moved my email back into a single 'inbox' folder instead of trying to keep everything organised in sub-folders. Using Vivaldi's labels instead for organising the messages. Makes sense because I sometimes had trouble if a message needed to be in multiple boxes.

My favourite part of Halloween is helping to set up the charity halloween party at a local school. Love decorating the haunted hallway and setting up the lights. Feels great to get those smiles on people's faces.

@movq It's hot here as well. Luckily should only last a couple of days. Bunkering down in our home and keeping all the doors and windows closed. No airco. Fans give some relieve.

Asked ChatGPT 3 yesterday to tone down an angry message I had to send, as in make it still polite, but make sure to get the message across, and it succeeded pretty well.

So dissatisfied and disappointed with the Fairphone 4’s audio issues where during phone calls, the receiver only gets half of the messages due to noise cancellation problems, that we’re considering iPhone as a valid “it just works” replacement. Especially since the iPhone15 now also has the USB Type C port.

I lapsed with the coffee drinking. One cup a day. Making tea takes way more time than making a quick coffee. Although I still should take the time.

Saw an airship fly over Düsseldorf and for a second I felt like being in an alternative dimension where these were more common. Really like them as they glide through the sky.
