Getting flag emoji on Windows (11)
Due to political reasons, Microsoft has actively refused to add flag emojis on Windows 11. Given how common flag emojis are, it's honestly more annoying than I thought it'd be, especially when discussing international events like Eurovision where these emoji would be useful. People use these flags to denote their nationality, or a country they...
Experiment: Einfach mal alles neu machen
Ich habe ein größeres Experiment hinter mir, das mich die letzten x Stunden ganz enorm ins Schwitzen brachte. Das war schon sehr sportlich. Ich habe ein paar sehr essentielle Dinge für mich neu gemacht. Ich habe ehrlich gesagt keinen blassen Schimmer, ob ich alles soweit hinter mich gebracht habe. Aber ich werde euch hier mal...
Why desktop Linux sucks (for me)
A long-ass post detailing the problems I've personally experienced with desktop Linux.
You Aren't Doing Agile
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. You’re starting a new job in software and you ask someone from your new team about their process and how work is prioritized. They say something about being an Agile team and working in sprints (one or two weeks in length, usually), but you look at the backlog and see tickets that won’t be worked on for several months with specific acceptance criteria and story points attached, linked to some sort of planning document that stretches out for months or even...

Tabell over lovlige tegn for IDN i .no-domenet
Tabellen i «Generelle krav til domenenavnet - hva kan det søkes om?» er litt underlig formatert når den er satt i to liksom-kolonner. Jeg kunne tenkt meg at den ble formatert mer på følgende vis: Bokstav Navn på bokstav Unicode áa med akutt aksent 0x00E1 àa med gravis-aksent 0x00E0 äa med omlyd 0x00E4 čc med...

What I didn't know I was navigating as a Junior Engineer
Lately I've been feeling like I'm doing a lot, but also not sure what I'm becoming yet. Some days I'm deep in frontend technical trivia (typography, interactions, pagination or virtual scrolling). Other days I zoom out and think :"Wait, what problem are we even solving for users? Is it worth solving?" Also, I'm reading about training pipelines, datasets, reward models… wondering how all of this fits together. It feels messy.
Aeronaut
I've been enjoying using Aeronaut, a Bluesky app for mac that feels quite native. Still tend to use the site in browser, but it's a nice dedicated option to have.
Mac aufräumen mit Pearcleaner #stuffthatworks
Ich habe im Laufe der Jahre mehr "Aufräumtools" für meinen Mac gekauft, als ich zugeben möchte. Alle diese Tools eint, das sie auf hübschen Webseiten mit großen Versprechen und einem meist erschreckend hohen Preisschild angeboten werden. Kurz nach dem Kauf hat sich dann aber schon Ernüchterung eingestellt, mal wieder auf Marketingversprechen und Empfehlungswebsites hereingefallen zu sein. Und kurz darauf hat die Suche nach einem neuen Mac-Cleaner begonnen. Seit ein paar Monaten habe ich diesen Teufelskreis dank Pearcleaner endgültig durchbrochen. Dieses kostenlose Open-Source-Tool liefert genau das, was kommerzielle Lösungen in der Regel nur versprechen: Apps werden nicht nur gelöscht, sondern wirklich entfernt, inklusive aller Einstellungen, Caches, alter Support-Dateien und verwaister Reste längst deinstallierter Programme. Dinge, von denen man meist gar nicht weiß, dass sie noch existieren. Garniert wird das Ganze von einem Sentinel-Monitor der Apps automatisch sauber entfernt,…

The Future Of Software Is Small
The dominance of SaaS platforms in business and pleasure today is a cyclic one. If you went back in time to the 1980's and told them that 21% of the industry was using the same CRM platform they'd probably nod serenely, knowing that nobody ever got fired for buying IBM.
Giving DuckDuckGo Another Chance
A few days ago, I wrote about my quest for a better search engine. For the past few months, I had been using Kagi, but I have since canceled the subscription. As a consequence, I returned back to DuckDuckGo. However, I felt it wasn't able to satisfy my needs... but was I right?
Finding a Good Search Engine
From February up until now, I have been using a paid search engine, Kagi. Two weeks ago, I canceled my subscription to try giving DuckDuckGo - or maybe another search engine - a go. However, I still find the search results quite lacking!
Building Software For Fun
Time and time again, I have come across articles about writing "useless" software, or programming as play. These sort of articles always wake up something in me. They focus on programming as a fun, playful thing, instead of making things with a hard purpose.

WTF is Startyparty?
I get asked a lot what this project is. It's a labor of love developed over many years that aggregates top-tier articles, news, social media, podcasts, videos, games, resources, livesteams and more into a unified launcher-style application.
