Israel's methodology remains to pressure governments & legislation & corporations to panic act against people speaking against genocide, make maximum noise about the accusations of terrorism or antisemitism as if they are a conviction, and then silence the noise of the eventual vindication.

Mathematicians occasionally uses "tack" symbols, ⊥ and ⊤, for various purposes. They're called that because they look like thumb-tacks from the side. But if you need a particular tack, what do you call it? Is "⊥" the "up" tack, because the pointy bit is up? Or is "⊤" the "up" tack, because it's […]

Apparently this years potato harvest will be good. There might be something inherently German about this news. #potato

I really wonder if German dubbing was better (as in: Very Good) some 30+ years ago¹ or if it is just pure nostalgia. I am too afraid to watch old movies to confirm… ¹: Except Major League II: while I can appreciate the idea of using a Saxon dialect for South US Americans it fell short.

I really wish corporations/society were more understanding that you cannot make someone into a "morning person". "We want you here first thing in the morning!" No, you don't. I'll be grumpy, mean, slow, and disinterested in the aesthetics you want me to reinforce. I'm a programmer, not a […]

Gee. Thanks Fediverse. When I complain about Windows, I literally never thought about running Linux in my life. As I stare at my shelf full of Linux laptops. Or look back at my decades of working and playing with Linux systems. Or the Linux stickers on my desk. Or ... Sometimes people just […]

It’s very likely that RFK Jr. will announce that vaccines are the cause of autism. As someone in the medical field I cannot stress this enough: VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM. They also don’t “trigger” autism and they don’t “make it worse”. The vaccine regime for kids is perfectly safe, and should […]

Took a break from the socials the past three days and I have to say that after an initial adjustment (especially thanks to muscle memory) that felt quite good. I used the time for gaming and reading, and also switching the launcher on my phone from NovaLauncher to Kvaesitso. The latter is also […]

Trump now saying that unless American Tech Oligarchs are exempt from tax and legislation, he'll impose very high tariffs on the EU is just the entirely predictable outcome of the EU leadership caving to a trade deal with him. Hope they'll cancel the deal and simply let him take the hit himself.

Ever since someone (re-)tooted someone suggesting to show the README.md first, the file list second on git repository sites I cannot help but to want that, too. Always.

It is a tad annoying that Tidal seems to do an artist name match for its personalized New Releases list instead of using some ID: there are way too many artists/bands that share a same and all but one are in genres I do not care about. #oldmanshoutsatcloud
