"As long as China doesn't change things, our efforts are pointless." - This argument never made sense and it makes even less sense now.

Switched my 2015 Asus Zenbook from Linux Mint to Ubuntu 25.10. Smooth.

Tried our luck. The waitlist was 90 to 120 minutes. Nope.

I'd call it Nerdl.

Good news!

Wenn Precht jetzt kommt und sagt, das sei eine gezielte Übertreibung gewesen, dann sage ich, mit manchen Begriffen macht man keine Übertreibung. Was er hier absondert ist nicht Meinung, sondern übergriffig.

Exactly! Maybe we should start calling them "points of being irreversibly fucked" instead.

For the first time in years, we have a publication with an editorial and an embargo. November 18th.

Short and on point. Please take two minutes to read this.

Some small success: Over the past years, I have reviewed for some smaller award. Last year, I suggested that the section on previous awards should be removed from the CVs because they are not merit. Previous awards would increase the chance for more awards, creating a positive feedback loop. They...

Unser Nachwuchs besucht seit >5 Jahren öffentliche Schulen. Wir haben dort noch nie ein religiöses Symbol gesehen. Weder an den Wänden noch auf den Köpfen. Es ist im Einwanderungsland Kanada einfach kein Thema und ich bin sehr froh darüber.
