Is Poland preparing to join the war?

Is Poland preparing to join the war?

Will Poland join the Russian-Ukrainian war? Recently I came across information that supports this thesis. Because the Polish government has ordered 1000 tanks in South Korea. What do you need 1000 tanks for, if not for war? Continue reading →

Poverty is falling, despite capitalism

Again and again I find contributions or interviews of lifestyle leftists who like to claim that capitalism is to blame for poverty and that it has to be replaced by something better. By which system? This is usually not answered, but one can ideologically already think where it leads, in socialist or communist systems. Continue reading →

I'm selling my Netflix share!

I'm selling my Netflix share!

I've been a Netflix user for a few years now, and I'm happy to take advantage of the service (even though I don't have much time for it). Being able to watch movies and series at any time without annoying commercials ultimately ensures that I don't shed a tear for analog linear television, and am rather ashamed to read online how one TV show after the next flops and is discontinued. (Pro7 digs its own grave, Only 850,000 viewers: RTL lands massive prime-time flop, Only 400,000 viewers: Pro7 has two flops in a row)

Why vertical farming companies need to catch up on the web

For more than 8 years I'm already a web developer and working in my self-employment, there come more or less known sites, technologies, CMS and stacks to eyes where you think to yourself "Hey, that's WordPress!" or "OMG, that's Joomla/Typo3 :O", some websites you can see that directly, with others I only need to read briefly in the header of the page source and know what this page is built with, what I'm dealing with, what theme is behind it, what plugins are used and who adheres to the DSGVO/GDPR or not, yes, I have so found some websites already, where the Google Analytics anonymous_ip was not set 😉 . But no one pays me to report other sites, nor would I get money to take care of the errors of another site.

Why "The Line" is just sick in Saudi Arabia

Why "The Line" is just sick in Saudi Arabia

For some years now, one has been hearing and reading about "The Line" and the Project NEOMwhich is supposed to be the city of the future in Saudi Arabia, not that China has already had worse experiences with its planned cities (Under Occupied Developments in China, Ordos, China's empty city), although I at least find the concept of a planned city practical and exciting as an IT and developer, for example the South Korean planned city of Songdo, which is actually a district of the megacity Incheon. The advantage here is simply that you can optimize everything, improve processes, and on paper technically better implement that than if something grows organically.
