Constantly checking your life against a prewritten narrative or story of how things “should” be is a bought-into way of life. It’s sort of like renting your identity. It isn’t you. You are more nuanced than the narrative you try to fit yourself into, more complex than the story that “should” be happening.

When I was a kid with a Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), sometimes my games wouldn’t load. But I, like all kids, knew the secret: take out the game cartridge, blow on the contacts, and put it back in. And it seemed to work. (When it failed, I’d just keep trying until it worked.) But looking back, did blowing into the cartridge really help?

Und dann sitzen da Menschen, die so alt sind wie meine Mama oder älter, und erklären mir, warum das Internet und Computer und solche Sache böse sind. Und ich stelle mir vorher, wie Herr Spitzer hilflos vor seinem Rechner sitzt und nicht einmal seinen Sohn fragen kann, weil sich der auch nicht auskennt.

The bottom line is this: don’t worry about it. The apps running in the background, be they Suspended iOS apps or Android Services, will be handled by the system in the most efficient way. Both platforms know to kill apps that are no longer needed, and removing things from your recent apps list on either platform isn’t going to help.

Eduard DAFUQ?!
Asynchronous communication means I can take a step out for lunch and catch up on transcripts when I get back. Asynchronous communication means I can ask my coworker a question in-chat and not worry about bothering her since she’ll get back to me when she’s available. Asynchronous communication means I can go to rural Minnesota and feel like I’m working from the office like normal.

Eduard READ ALL THE AGB's!
That means that no third-party client can ever have more than 100k users, unless given special permission by Twitter or it already has over 100k right now, in which case it can have double the amount it has today. This move puts a life span on most for-pay clients, as they’ll reach a point where there is no longer any reason for them to continue offering these apps for sale.

Ich wünsche mir ein Gesetz, das die Netzneutralität wenigstens grob regelt. Für die Anbieter ist es vielleicht ein gutes Geschäft, Diensten, die viele Daten über ihre Leitungen schicken, den Saft abzudrehen, wenn sie dafür nicht extra zahlen. Für uns als Nutzer ist das schlecht: Was ist mit interessanten Start-ups? Die können sich nicht leisten, Bandbreite zu kaufen und werden dann vielleicht verhungern. Geht die Netzneutralität drauf, geht also auch Innovation drauf. Gerade im Netz ist es doch so einfach wie sonst nirgendwo, eine neue Idee zu verwirklichen.

Eduard True, true.
Yes, language is constantly changing, but that doesn't make grammar unimportant. Good grammar is credibility, especially on the internet. In blog posts, on Facebook statuses, in e-mails, and on company websites, your words are all you have. They are a projection of you in your physical absence.
