  • I think it reveals that the antagonist is more used to hunting humans than animals, and that referring to the target as an “it” takes a bit of getting used to.

    For the movie it might help make the stakes seem a bit higher, underlining that this is no ordinary hunt.

    But also of course it hints that he know the identity. Especially so maybe when he feels the need to correct himself - the vicar gets the feeling something is off.


  • I have Microsoft Outlook accounts with two different universities.

    Outlook does not work with Thunderbird or any other app besides the official Outlook one, which doesn’t exist for Linux. Even if it did I wouldn’t want to install it. So I am forced to use web mail.

    Even though the domain names are different, Outlook freaks the fuck out at the notion that one could be signed in with two different Microsoft accounts in the same web browser. It’s hard to access my inbox for one university without completely signing out of my inbox for the other.

    Now I just allocate one university to container A, and the other to container B. It’s just one of the many hoops I have to jump through to make e-mail barely functional in 2025.











  • Working quite a bit with lawyers and law students it’s endlessly frustrating that so many of them are there not because they have any interest in understanding what the law is or how it relates to society, but simply because they had good grades and they figured a law degree was the natural thing to do.

    Follow your interests. If you’re not interested you won’t end up doing interesting things.




  • the flagship instance of Bandwagon.fm will be taking 0% of any money musicians make.

    Good stuff.

    To support development, Bandwagon’s flagship instance will be offering a $10 per month Premier plan that allows musicians to sell their music and offer their tracks at a higher bit-rate, among other features.

    So they will take 0% of money, except a flat fee of €10 every month in order to be allowed to sell music at all? This seems a bit more problematic, as smaller artists would lose money every month by trying to position themselves in the market.

    I like the business model of selling subscriptions to the artists but giving them 100% of proceedings quite a lot, but it would be nice if they for example only had to pay a monthly fee once sales surpassed €10, or if they could sell a limited amount of tracks for free in order to test the waters before putting all their music out for sale.

    Writing this comment listening to @[email protected] by the way. Recommended to anyone interested in German singer/songwriter music. Who isn’t.
