  1. Exact, the market leading bookkeeping system that big enterprises use, and is forced on clients by accountants all over my neck of the woods, charges at least €100 monthly for a subscription.

    Their user interface is bad. So bad that I would have found it unacceptable 20y ago. It takes seven actions to change a number field and then it silently reverts the change if you don't hit a particular key before you hit the save button. Batch edit only for the fields you don't want to edit. That kind of bad 🤮

    Their API isn't much better.

    Now I am surrounded by enthusiasm in the financial department about the fact that it seems to be possible to vibe code around this atrocity, so at least we don't have to endure it directly.

    But I'm thinking that's not nearly the flex people make it out to be.

    What if we would build a properly functioning FOSS bookkeeping software? Wouldn't that make all of our lives much easier?

  2. Let's stop saying left or right, and start saying right or wrong.

    Left-right framing in serves the purpose of falsely equalizing good and evil.

    Don't fall for it.

    Being good requires a lifetime of discipline not doing evil acts. Someone advocating to not violate human rights or nature is not an extreme leftist, even if they use strong language.

    Even when violence is used, we need to check if it was used righteously, in self defense for example.

    Right-wrong framing gets us much further than left-right. It lifts us up from helping ourselves or our clan to doing the right thing, even when it takes sacrifice.

  3. Christlicher Glaube ist ein sich einhalten bei Gott, durch das man festen Halt im Leben gewinnt. Glaube ist Standfassen, vertrauensvolles Stellen auf den Boden des Wortes Gottes.

    Glaube ist eine andere Kategorie als Machen und Machbarkeit. Es ist anvertrauen an Nicht-Selbstgemachtes. Deshalb kann Glaube auch nicht auf dem Seziertisch eines Machbarkeitswissens und seinen Möglichkeiten liegen, wo er sich beweisen soll.

    Zwei Grundformen menschlichen Verhaltens zur Wirklichkeit werden hier offenbar. Heidegger spricht vom rechnenden und besinnlichen Denken. Beides ist legitim, notwendig, aber sie können nicht ineinander aufgelöst werden. Es ist jenes Verhältnis, das der Katholizismus von Glauben und Vernunft lehrt.
