This image shows the entrance area of a municipal office, with a tall digital display mounted high on the wall and a touchscreen ticket machine below it. The upper screen shows the current time and a queue system indicating which ticket number should go to which service counter; at the moment, ticket “p002” is called to counter C. Below it, the touchscreen ticket terminal offers two columns of options: resident services such as address registration, lost and found, and parking permits on the left, and police-related services like fines, events, and dog ownership on the right. A large piece of paper with a red arrow is taped to the side of the machine, pointing to the left as an improvised sign. To the left of the ticket machine is a small red emergency button, and in the background is a hallway with windows letting in natural light.

The photo shows a touchscreen ticket machine mounted on a wall in a public office, with a crumpled white paper sign taped across its lower half; the sign has a large red arrow pointing to the right and the text “Ticket entnehmen / Take your ticket.” The screen displays lists of resident and police-related services. Next to the machine on the wall is a small red emergency alarm button, and the area around it has smooth light-colored walls and dark floor tiles.

What I see when corporations add “user friendly” to their product description.

Your semi regular reminder that miraculous #mattress is a snake oil. If the price tag is over ~€300 then you’re paying for a placebo effect.

The highlighted area is what I get on modern #iphone when in #landscape mode and with keyboard opened. Now can someone from #Apple please google “Nokia n-gage” and “accidentally” get “inspired” to produce exactly the same layout for landscape #keyboard? Thanks you.

I have a feeling that there is a huge #DIY conspiracy. Does vinegar & baking soda ever do anything? No. Is it recommended for absolutely everything? Yes. Coffee stains? Vinegar. Grease on satin? Vinegar. Sore muscles? Vinegar. Lost dog? Vinegar. Having suspicion about too many dyi manuals […]

Why phones stopped having this tiny hole that they could be hung up with? Why?!

Hey folks, this is your random reminder that #covid booster is always a good idea and especially when the season starts.

#GoogleMaps claims that “square pins are ads”. While technically true, it might make you believe that squares are the only way paid things sneak into your maps results. They are not:
- Position in search results
- Paid reviews, including negative ones
- […]

I think one of my main issues with the recent obsession with dark mode is the intuitive understanding that this is not the last step.

I find most of dark modes illegible. Oh we have dark-mode-high-contrast! And obviously have to do the same for light mode...

I do like the ease for eyes of dark […]

There is this weird thing in the liberal part of society that breaks my head: “About deceased talk only good”.

Most know Cardinal (Catholic church) just died. He was known to be hateful towards minorities, greedy for the church money and overall everything but what I’d call a good Christian […]

Sure it’s not live location data, but c’mon…

People commenting on my description of #EasyRide system in public transport of Switzerland where one checks-in on their phone and checks-out with “oh no, now they can track your location!”: Well what exactly do you think is happening when you buy a point-to-point ticket through the same app in […]

Listening to a podcast about #US #constitution and why it feels like patchwork-over-patchwork.

So I spent past half an hour reading on the difference between #Czech way to _alter_ constitution and US way to _patch_ it.

In my head, there is just something wrong on not _practically_ being able […]

I just found out that (somehow) I can use #iPhone widgets on my #MacBook and I'm 🤯

@mroach Yup, that's basically the point of my original post.
- Mainstream folks had no clue who #AlexHonnold was up until #FreeSolo
- People outside of #paragliding bubble hardly ever heard of #ChriglMaurer
- Unless you're into awesome trail performances, the name #KílianJornet quite likely does […]

@n1k0 I keep seeing this post over and over again. And for me it's more of a story of adding features instead of building solutions. TV remotes are an incredibly confusing, useless, overcomplicated things. As is most software out there.
The only correct way to add more value to your product is […]

@mroach
❌ Love Story
❌ 22
✅ Blank Space. As lyrics, but I would _swear_ I've heard it from different interpret. More ... dynamic?
✅ Shake It Off. Rings a bell like part of some movie.
❌ Bad Blood
❌ Cruel Summer
❌ Anti-Hero

^^ Crosses genuinely never heard*

@mroach #WinAmp was peak music ...

@mroach Also: Well f*ck #spotify. I genuinely thought that this screen is the list of songs sorted by the amount of "plays". !@#$%^& why is this service so useless?

@mroach Share. I genuinely, seriously, honestly have no idea if I've ever heard one of her songs*
But I checked her whole discography on my Spotify account and can confirm that there is zero "likes".

*On a level that it would actually be somehow hooked in my memory.

Since some people think I'm making things up: This is my #Spotify. Zero liked songs from this interpret. Skimmed through top 5 and 🤷. I am pretty certain I've never heard any of those. Not my genre. Not in my bubble.

I brought this up because #TaylorSwift […]

@runspired.com I *wish* I’d never heard of TypeScript. Yeah.

I’m “I have no clue who Taylor Swift is or if I ever heard any of her songs” years old.

#TaylorSwift

I’m actually happy that #EU regulation forces the caps to be attached to the bottle. Sorry, it does make my life better.
