Banned in the UAE by fluffyfluffy (beesbuzz.biz)
The other day I discovered that my site is banned in the UAE on the basis of “pornography.” The national filter criteria are pretty fascinating, and now I am on a mission to get banned for as many categories as I can with a single blog post! So, here we go.

Thank you. I really had a good laugh at this list 😂

“Subventionsprogramm für Spritfresser” by Jan-Lukas ElseJan-Lukas Else (jlelse.blog)
Bei SPIEGEL habe ich grad eine Kolumne von Christian Stöcker – zu meinem neuen Lieblingsthema “Mobilität” – gefunden, die mal wieder ausspricht, was ich auch denke. Es geht um die (temporäre) Senkung der Energiesteuer auf Benzin und Diesel und dass davon ja die am meisten profitieren, die...

Kann auch nur den Kopf schütteln. Habe mich schon vor Jahren gezielt für kleine BEVs entschieden (Land halt) und die Stadt gemieden wo es ging. Fahren inzwischen so wenig dass wir einen wieder verkauft haben. Und dafür jahrelang mit schlechter Lade-Infrastruktur (geht inzwischen ja) und jeder Menge blöde Kommentare rumärgern müssen. Teuer ist der Spaß sowieso.

Und da gibt es immer noch Wundertierchen, die den Diesel wieder schön rechnen und munter weiter verbrennen und schon wieder fleissig Geld dem Modell Scheiss-Karre hinterher werfen.

Ich verstehe die Welt nicht mehr und der Welt wird heiß und heißer.

Excuse me can I have the attention of the class for one second by ShawshankShawshank (Void If Removed)
Can you believe that!? It’s bullshit. BULLSHIT I SAY! Yeah, I’m being mostly silly – they changed all the covers on the Twilight books. Geezy-creezy. I’m still trying to complete the sets I h…

Oarrr I hate when they suddenly change the cover or, worse, the size of a book series! My inner monk is going nuts on this. There is always one in a line on the shelf where they did this.

Cockpit instrument lighting. by BuildsByBazBuildsByBaz (Builds by Baz)
02 Feb 2022 Lock-down in Canberra 2021 saw me getting very busy in the forge, madly trying to survive with a bit of extra cash to make it through the tough times, as well as home schooling my kids.…

Man, gotta say I was _so_ happy to read this little update. I was already afraid that the Covid got you or sth. Has been a while since I could marvel at your Viper 🤓

You’re one heck of an inspiration to me @Baz 🙏

Your Website is Useless (kiriska.com)
Most artist websites are bad. They either fail at their purpose, don’t have a purpose, or their only purpose is to point visitors to more active social media. It is impossible to follow or keep up many artists’ work if you don’t want to look at Twitter or Instagram (nevermind that there’s al...

Heh, “nobody does this any more” is far fetched but yes, basically this.

Was ist eine Webmention und wie nutze ich sie in WordPress? by hagengrafhagengraf (blog.novatrend.ch)
Gerade im World Wide Web ist die Verlinkung von Inhalten eines der stärksten Features. Auch heute noch ist bei Suchmaschinen die Menge an Links, die auf eine Website zeigen einer der wichtigsten Parameter, der darüber Auskunft gibt, wie beliebt diese Website ist. Wenn du einen Link auf eine andere...

Prima. Wir brauchen mehr von solchen Artikeln 👏 Webmentions können natürlich noch viel mehr. So taugen sie auch dafür Brücken in andere Netzwerke zu schlagen – ein Feature welches ich gerne und oft nutze 😀

Get a fresh up close and personal look at the Steam Deck with Hellish Quart by Liam DaweLiam Dawe (gamingonlinux.com)
Want a really close view on the Steam Deck in action? Hellish Quart developer Kubold recently had a Steam Deck devkit delivered so they took a video. Can't say I had heard of Hellish Quart until seeing the video either. It's a physics based, realistic, 3D sword duelling game set in the 17th century ...

Oh wow. Why didn’t my bubble tell me about https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2022/01/get-a-fresh-up-close-and-personal-look-at-the-steam-deck-with-hellish-quart/ before?

That’s freakin awesome – for a game!

Thoughts on Novak Djokovic by an author (jayeless.net)
So I woke up this morning to the news that, after 11 days of legal conflict and confusing news reports, male tennis no. 1 Novak Djo­ko­vic has been deported. In my opinion, this whole issue has been a bit of a shit-show, and I feel like I still don’t fully understand quite how this has all gone ...

Thanks for the writeup. First time I really read about this incident at all (it’s sports and far far away so I didn’t care). And somehow I doubt I’d have read it anywhere else with your insights from our local media.
