Git was Made for the Linux kernel. The kernel is pretty much only text files. For the complete decentralisation git achieves an easy diffing and merging operations needs to be defined. It is working for what it was made.

Large files don’t work with git, as it always stores the whole history on your drive.

For files that are large and not mergeable SVN works better and that is fine. You need constant online connectivity as a trade of though.

Some build tools for software being the option to define a dependency as a git path +commit or a local path. That works quite well but is in the end just a workaround.

As cool and impressive as Qoi is, as long as I can’t just send it to someone it’s sadly not a replacement for PNG.

Matrix still has it’s problems. All the meta data is still saved on every server permanently.

There is still space to improve from there.

I’ve seen a tablet for old people. The whole interaction is limited to NFC cards. Instead of having to open an app to start a video call, you put the Call Flipper card in a tray. On the other side I can send pictures which are then displayed for her.

My 95 grandma would never have been able to use a smartphone/tablet otherwise.

Honestly, when I open a new application I normally want to interact with it now. Always drove me nuts , when I opened a Powershell window in a folder and then had to click on it again.

Both Boeing and Airbus are working on H2 Tech for Planes.

I once woke up at 3. Got a brilliant idea on how to solve one specific problem plaguing me for weeks. Went back to sleep. It was exhilarating.

I just couldn’t remember the solution when I woke up again. Bit for this short period of time it was beautiful.

Remember when selecting something was done with the right mouse button in blender. That was great UX for beginners.

I got something better for you.

This only half as bad as the emoji soup macros

What module would you like to have.

I want to disagree on German. It isn’t verbose. We’ve got several words where there isn’t an equivalent in pretty much any other languages. Including Schadenfreude und Torschlusspanik (the feeling that you are getting older l, can’t find a partner and will die alone).

The same EU legal text has in German 22.118 words Vs English 24.698.

The making me cry part, that’s fair. Overcomplicated, could be worse.
