Terrorism is a form of attack that can be defeated by doing *NOTHING.*

Come on people, we can do this!

The present information overload:

"As long as the centuries continue to unfold, the number of books will grow continually, and one can predict that a time will come when it will be almost as difficult to learn anything from books as from the direct study of the whole universe...."

-- Denis Diderot, French Encyclopaedist, 1755.

I recommend the whole thing.

The level of activity in my timeline is still quite low. Without @dredmorbius it would be nearly empty ;-).

Is there any way to boost/fav a toot that isn't on my instance yet? Or a way to manually sync it?

Following the person syncs their future toots, but I don't necessarily want to follow (and it doesn't help for past toots either).

I know, I'm an hapless victim of the hype, but I am eagerly waiting for this game.....

Unexpected Politeness

Sometimes processes work and one of my service ticket got answered quickly to my 100% satisfaction on the very first attempt. Yes, really! In this case Siemens was doing a perfect delivery upon first touch.

So I write a short thank you in reply and get another mail that I just opened a new support ticket ;-).

I feel a bit old now....
