I'm not going to look deeper into crystal lore because I like using mine and I don't want another "PR gag" today.

.. and if it's not just guesswork - who defines what makes up a silly trick and what's maybe actually a very personal kind of ritual?

Researching cartomancy and stumbling inadvertently over the history of Tarot cards used for divination.
It's a bit disheartening when you read "pretty much all claims of any occult links were debunked as made up". I guess that's good PR to sell them cards..
But if it's all made up, why do they seemingly work?
I've done tarot readings for friends in the past so.. was that all just me doing good guesswork? -

Okay, fine I give up on my search for a macOS (preferably status-bar) GUI for #restic/ #rustic.
Everything out there seems to be tailored for the WebUI fanatics.
There's ResticScheduler which is great but missing a few crucial features like "abort if pre-run-script fails" as well as the ability to manage multiple backup tasks.
So I guess I'll have to bite the bullet and write my own launchd jobs and some #HammerSpoon or similar magic to monitor those jobs.
(P.S. I'm currently a happy #Arq7 user but the scanning phase for my local and cloud backup has become excruciatingly slow over the past year so I'm trying to once again "find a better thing")

CW: Screaming to the void about how bad VBA in Excel is..
Hurgs..
VBA is the only way to integrated semi-advanced functionality into an Excel Sheet but it's so buggy that a few simple mistakes while developing a VBA Sub will cause the app to crash - doesn't feel like this has been available for decades but more like weeks.
And the worst? After Excel crashes you can't simply re-open the Workbook you were mediling with, it has to be "repaired" first which in most cases will go ahead and strip any random amount of the functions and VBA calls you're using in your tables without notice x.x

Whoever decided that it should be possible to call a ViewModifier (like .navigationDestination(for:destination:)) without the '.' at the beginning that connects it to a view.. I want a word with you and the #Swift compiler developers...
No compiler error (how!?) and a crash report with a 53.000 lines long, recursive backtrace???

CW: Pokémon Z-A revised rambles
Okay I have to revisit my initial harsh critic from the last Nintendo Direct / the first few hours of playing.
Offering a paid DLC at launch is still a scummy money grab move.. sorry GameFreak.
But…
Once Z-A actually lets you off the invisible walls tutorial leash it is rather fun to play.
Still not a fan of the whole “you have to climb the league ladder because it blocks your Main Story otherwise” scheme but outside that this title actually feels like they did their homework for once - it looks very nice, the graphics and performance are smooth for the first time since we got into (semi) open world titles, you’re no longer locked into instanced battles with Pokémon (hey Arceus my love, they listened to you) and it even plays great in handheld*
I’m looking forward to the story and the side activities and that’s a niche change for once.

CW: Rambles about people complaining on EU changes to Vegie product naming.
Nur weil alle gerade so notgeil auf die EU Entscheidung zur Bezeichnung von Fleisch vs. Vegie-Produkten sind:
"Leberkäse" kommnt von "Laib" und "Kas" aus dem Bayrischen - "Laib" wie in "Leib Brot" und "Kas" hat nichts mit Käse zu tun sondern bezeichnet im allegmeinen "eine essbare Masse".
Analog für "Fleischkäse"..
"Fleischsalat" - ja, der enthält keinen Salat, aber Obstsalat, Nudelsalat und Brotsalat auch nicht oder? Man merke aber der Obstsalat hat Obst als Hauptzutat und der Fleischsalat Fleisch. Vegiesalat hat keins von beiden, könnte sich aber durchaus Tofusalat, Saitansalat, Vegiesalat oder anders passend nennen anstatt Fleischsalat?
"Fleischtomate was?" - ja, weil sie einen überdurchschnittlich großen Anteil Fruchtfleisch im vergleich zu Samen hat..
Und von wegen "Man verwechselt das nicht einfach" - ääähhhmm.. habt Ihr schonmal die Rügenwalder verpackungen angeschaut?
Wenn man da nicht ganz genau auf das kleine Veggie in der Ecke schaut dann ist die Vegetarische LEBERWURST halt doch im Einkaufswagen..
Vegetarische und vegane Produkte sind toll, und können so vielfältig sein - warum müssen sie denn unbedingt Fleischprodukte und deren Namen imitieren (nein den Umstieg macht das für niemanden leichter)?

I could be learning about Gameboy insides and how it works but the process need in me is convinced they nerd to sit down and write a toolchain file and Cmake setup for their #GBDK2020 first.
Not that there aren’t perfectly usable Makefiles included already.

CW: E-government, Germany, eID/Perso, stuck in the past
Man fragt sich schon was hier schief läuft wenn wir mittlerweile den #ePerso und damit #eID haben, ich mir aber eins von fünf verschiedenen “Identifizierungsunternehmen” wie Verily oder PostIDENT nehmen, mich dort registrieren, meine Identitäts Daten aus dem ePerso auslesen und in einem Dienstaccount hinterlegen lassen muss nur damit der Dienstleister einer Webseite sagt “jo, das ist die Person die sich vorhin mit email,Passwort und TOTP angemeldet hat.”
Es ist nicht so als ob es für die #Ausweisapp kein öffentliches API gäbe um sich mit dem Service zu identifizieren ganz ohne Drittanbieter.
(Und nein Verily, ich möchte meinen “Account” den ihr mir implizit aufgezwungen habt wirklich löschen und kann gut damit leben euch nicht meinen COVID pass, meine Bankverbindung oder Telefondaten zusätzlich noch zu hinterlegen)

CW: Musings on Mac gaming in a post Rosetta2, post x86 world
On that same page.. I hope #JagEx pulls the finger and compiles an arm version of RS3 by then…
The current intel client is a performance nightmare, there are no 3rd party clients for RS3 either and the iOS/iPad client can’t be used on MacOS without jumping through hoops.

CW: Musings on Mac gaming in a post Rosetta2, post x86 world
I’m really curious if the end of #Rosetta2 - now that it has an albeit distant deadline - will mean the end of #Wine on #macOS or if companies like #CrossOver or #openSource projects will come up with a nifty way to do JIT or AoT compilation to ARM? I can’t see the former be performant enough even on AppleSilicon but the latter is a real option imo. (And let’s be honest, game studios that have wine-wrapped Mac clients today won’t invest to bring a native client just because Apple removes or at least severely limits the translation layer).

I never got why people go nuts about realtime collaboration in coding projects… have you actually EVER tried to work on a real code base that needs compiling and test runs, and not just a web browser, while five other people edit parts of the same code??
Let me just tell you: it’s not pretty and the time you think you’re gaining is lost to “hey Joe, add that semicolon before you grab a coffee. The code doesn’t compile.”

After spending five hours in a traffic jam I have to say, you Austrians are idiots in regards to managing roadworks. In no scenario is convoy control, causing a 20 kilometre backlog with a four hour delay for everyone, smarter or more safe or efficient than letting people merge two lanes on their own.
