I’m an avid Firefox user since years. There were no problems surfing the web for quite some time. In recent weeks though, I tripped on some problems. How come for some (large!) companies Firefox is something not worth to support anymore?

This week Kara Swisher did an interview with Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey on Twitter. As it (unsurprisingly) turns out, it was hard to follow this interview.

Cryptocurrencies are a real hype right now. Everyone jumps on board, hoping to make some money. I tested it out, too, to understand it a bit more. But it doesn’t feel right — so I sold my few coins and quit.

Back in November, when traveling through Malaysia, we met a large group of students playing games on the beach on Langkawi. They were quick to ask us if we want to join. As it looked like a lot of fun, we agreed.

Some years ago I used a cheap laptop which was quite okay for my use cases back then. From time to time I recognized, that the things that I thought are pretty balanced actually look awful on a high contrast display (the MacBook at work).
