Der WWF hat ein Bundesländer-Ranking zur Energiewende erstellt. Während Brandenburg und Schleswig-Holstein gut abschneiden, landet Hessen weit abgeschlagen auf dem vorletzten Platz. (hanvoi) www.fr.de/rhein-main/l...

Die US-Regierung leugnet, dass sie Faschisten sind. Aber sie erklären laut, dass Antifaschisten ihre Feinde sind. Von daher …

Oh. I wonder who's using my limit_detectors #Ruby gem (➙ rubygems.org/gems/limit_d...), given the 32,208 downloads. 😃 Seriously, thanks for using it. 🙏

PSA: Agile Testing Days 2025 starts in 68 days ➙ days-until-agiletd.herokuapp.com Time to start procrastinating on your sessions. 🤣 #AgileTD

Fought my way through to level 35 and for now I'm like, nope! Fun though: neal.fun/not-a-robot/ Thanks @neal.fun 😄

#OpenWaterSwimming 🌊🏊‍♂️🌊 in the morning: 15 min swimming in 13°C water. Fresh and fantastic. 🤩 #Nordstrand

Thanks to everyone who shared the post about the #EURUKO ticket! 🙏🏼 — The ticket's gone now. Enjoy the conference! 😃

you know what? fuck it. theremin mode. github.com/samhenrigold...

I still have a @euruko.org (or should it be @euruko.bsky.social?) 2025 ticket to give away - for free. Just DM me and it can be yours (I only need an email address to reassign the ticket and promise I won't use it for anything else). #EURUKO

Friends of @euruko.bsky.social 2025, unfortunately I won't make it there (Viana do Castelo, Portugal). I found no reasonable way to get there in ecologically, financially and/or timely way. 🤷 #Ruby #EURUKO #Portugal #VianaDoCastelo

Nice: I have received the "Inclusive Companion" badge over at @mintfantome.ghostmaid.cafe 😊 🌈

Und wieder die CDU mit Spahn 😡

Nice: Did the 'National Park Challenge' *in* a National Park. 😎 20 minutes 🌊🏊‍♂️🌊 in 15°C water, waves and, eventually, some sunshine. #OpenWaterSwimming #NorthSea

I often say that typing isn’t the bottleneck in software development - and here’s an example. This is a cumulative flow diagram from Jira for a typical software delivery team. It shows that only about ~30% of the time is spent in the value-creation stage (Development). 1/5

Today marks the 50th anniversary of THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW. More than just a midnight movie, RHPS became a crucial gathering place for queers, punks, theater kids, and so many others looking for their place...and each other. Irreverent? Yes. Wild? Always. Nonetheless: Don't dream it, be it.

101 days until the #AgileTD 2025. ➙ days-until-agiletd.herokuapp.com 🌈🎉🦄

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

Harumph… first my monitor broke (after well over ten years), then my brain (migraine). 🙄 Ok ok, the brain's back & working, if rather noise-sensitive. 🤷🏼‍♂️ The display has to be replaced, though.

Looking forward to #SoCraTes Day MOIN tomorrow in #Hamburg! ➙ www.meetup.com/de-DE/sokahh...

YAY! Another year 'done' and still cancer-free after being diagnosed with cancer in 2018. — STILL not dead (and not even undead!). Quite the opposite: Pretty darn alive! To all you cancer-patients out there: I wish you all the best and good luck! #FuckCancer

der deutsche schachbund @schachbund.bsky.social hat ein statement zu dieser neuen transfeindlich diskrimminierenden regelung des internationalen Schachbunds (FIDE) auf twitter veröffentlicht twitter.com/Schachbund/s... 3/3

Glue work isn’t beneath me. It’s why things don’t fall apart. You call it soft. I call it essential community infrastructure.

I just wanted to say, I’m probably more proud of this Ted talk than just about anything I’ve ever done so I’m gonna be absolutely useless for the next couple of weeks as I promote the shit out of this because I want you to watch it because it matters in the moment we are in youtu.be/dVG8W-0p6vg

Afternoon swim 🌊🏊‍♂️🌊 - H2O 20°C, air about the same temperature #OpenWaterSwimming #NorthSea

It's so annoying when web pages have a drop-down list that show a list of translated country names, but sort that list using the English name. 🙄

It worries me a bit that I am seeing blogs, webinars etc. about using #AI (tools) to test software, but hardly anything about how to test those AIs. Am I looking in the wrong places? Have testers jumped on the AI bandwagon without thinking about testing them? (Can hardly believe) #SoftwareTest

I may or may not have pledged this #ZXSpectrum project ➙ www.kickstarter.com/projects/spe... 🤩

Just learned about rubyfriends.app (via a @pragprog.com news letter by @pragdave.bsky.social). Nice idea. Will create an account. #Ruby #ConnectToPeople #Conferences

Mary Gaillard's calculations correctly predicted the mass of the charm quark and contributed to the discovery of the Higgs boson as she triumphed over sexism in the field of physics. R.I.P. #physics

@git-tower.com Hi #GitTower team, is there a way to bulk import repositories? In other words: Import all/selected Git repos from a given folder? Background: My GitTower crashed, I had to reenter my licence info (less annoying 🤷‍♂️) …

Yay, I made it: The first 1km swim 🌊🏊‍♂️🌊 in the #NorthSea this year. Water 21°C, weather slightly cloudy, swimming great 😃 #OpenWaterSwimming

For all my French followers: Bon 14 Juillet ! 🇫🇷

Today is a great day! The first article I ever wrote has been published in a professional magazine. "Software #accessibility includes #gender diversity" can be read in the "Testing Experience" magazine. You can download it here: www.testingexperience.media (email address must be supplied) (1/2)

we ran a Wizard Zines reader survey and it's interesting to see that 75% of people who buy the zines have been programming for 10+ years When I imagine a typical reader I always imagine someone who's been programming (in some capacity) for at least 5-10 years so it's nice to see that's accurate

It seems to that #AI answers (say, from #ChatGPT) appear to be better the less I know about a topic. Is there a bias there?

July is Disability Pride Month 🩶❤️💛🤍💚💙🩶 Happy #DisabilityPrideMonth to everyone with visible and invisible disabilities. To everyone who cares for someone with a disability, and to everyone who is gonna learn about disability pride this month. Disability Pride is a fight and a celebration⭐

Picard management tip: Take some alone time. The crew will be fine without you.

Lo del pueblo de Venecia contra la boda de Bezos es solo una indicación de lo hartitos que estamos de los ultramillonarios que se creen que todo se puede comprar con dinero, incluso lo que es de todos.

A super lovely evening swim 🌊🏊‍♂️🌊 in the North Sea, with a warm orange sky and a sun that is about to set. Water had a (well, relatively) warm 20°C. #OpenWaterSwimming #NorthSea

Finally: I registered for @agiletdzone.bsky.social 2025. If you plan to attend, I have an #AgileTDAmbassador discount code to share. It's not meant for public sharing, so you'd need to ask me for it in a DM. #agileTD #testing

No, I will not give you another business case for accessibility. Accessibility matters, that's it. If the product doesn't prioritize it, the product is bad.

Söder lügt wie gedruckt! Es wurde keine "Rechtslage von vor 2015 wiederhergestellt", denn 2015 galt wie bis ca. 2024 das Schengen-Abkommen. Angela Merkel hat 2015 auch nicht, wie Merz/Söder-Leute und noch weiter rechts behaupten, "die Grenzen geöffnet", sondern sie OFFEN GELASSEN. Trumpismus 🤮.

I was asked to write a story for @physicsworld.bsky.social commemorating the centenary of quantum theory. You can find it on pages 56-57 of their Quantum Briefing (physicsworld.com/p/magazine/a...) and in the attached image.
