3rd concert of the year: Thundercat on tour with only a guy on synth and a drummer. They played for almost 2 hours – starting with a whole bunch of long, insane, almost free jazz-y solos over barely recognisable tunes, then later playing a couple of the hits […] [Original post on chaos.social]

I'm a bit surprised to say that, after many years of being at best neutral about them, I've recently become a bit of an #apple fanboy 😊 I used to find them a bit distasteful, but after a bit of effort and experimentation, I'm really happy with where I landed. And I have to say, compared to the […]

Ohne irgendwas über den Herrn zu wissen, der Fakt dass der hiesige FDP-Direktkandidat "Sean-Anthony Braun von Stumm" heißt und "selbstständiger Unternehmer" ist, ist schon lustig.

Mein Horoskop für das Jahr 1993 gibt mir viele wertvolle Hinweise, unter Anderem, dass ich meine finanzielle Lage im August oder September duch "Glücksspiel mit kleinem Einsatz" verbessern könnte.

This is the argument for LLMs being intelligent in a nutshell. found on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/coaxedintoasnafu/s/dYK60QTd8g

Instead of defending the use of LLMs for polishing up your writing, we could be advocating for unpolished writing. Blog posts with spelling errors and awkwardly repeated words. Emails that sound a bit less warm and professional because you forgot the preamble of "Apologies for the late reply […]

Multiple people have shared this supposed "programming language for law" with me today and I would like everyone to take a step back so the people who are screaming from the top of their lungs reading "automated legal decisions" can kill it with fire. https://catala-lang.org/

Had an amazing time at the Die Spitz show in Berlin tonight... until it was cut short after only a handful of songs because their bassist collapsed! I really hope she's ok. But I'm also so bummed that I didn't get to see the full performance :(

When I said that your discord clone doesn’t need e2ee, I got a lot of comments along the lines of “ then how would I use it to organize the revolution!” The answer is: you don’t. If you have more users than can comfortably share a Signal chat and hence want to use discord or something like it […]

I sued my landlord for violating rent control regulations (specifically, withholding relevant information) about a month ago after he refused to communicate with me.

The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions. It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

Small blog update: you can now see the 3 most recent movies I watched on my Now Page (https://www.leftfold.tech/pages/now/) Implemented by scraping Letterboxd with a couple lines of #clojure: https://codeberg.org/johnnyjayjay/blog/src/branch/main/src/cryogen/prepare.clj#L76-L109

Came real close to cutting off my fingertip today because I slipped while cutting garlic. Luckily I only cut off outer layer skin. May this serve as a reminder for people who are also too lazy to sharpen their knives regularly

So, it appears that RailEurope has started to charge "resevation fees" for SNCF reservations. A week or so ago I made this same booking on this same site and was not charged an extra fee. This means that unless you actually go to a physical SNCF ticket […] [Original post on cupoftea.social]

First concert of the year: Nicole Johänntgen with her band "Robin" @ Jazzclub #karlsruhe Amazing performance and stylistic range. Some of the wildest solos I've seen in a while, held together by a very unique rhythm section. That was invigorating, great way to start the year where I've set […]

while getting groceries in the asian supermarket yesterday. this lady came up to me, held 2 bags of frozen sea food in my face, said "you look... no schwein?" and stared at me expectedly.

We found a couch on the street 1.5 weeks ago. Pretty good condition, obviously needs to be cleaned anyway (+ previous owners seem to have been indoor smokers). Today was the first day of deep cleaning. Once we finish, we're gonna rearrange the whole living room around it.
