First they came for the Palestinians I did not speak out, because I wasn't a Palestinian. Then they came for the Libanese and I did not speak out, because I wasn't a Liberian. Then they came for the Iranians, and I did not speak out because I wasn't an Iranian. ...

Jeg hører ofte, senest i #prompt, at ønsket om at man skal kunne bruge #mitid på degoogled enheder er urimeligt. At man ikke kan forvente at få understøttelse på operativsystemer med meget få brugere. Mens jeg er enig i denne udlægning er den også misforstået. Problemet er ikke, at jeg vil have […]

So, I just came out from watching #projecthailmary. I made the classic mistake and read the book first. Twice. Obviously that means I cannot possibly enjoy the movie. No, it's a decent rendition. However, I did wonder if the movie is able to exist on its own. It stays fairly true to the book […]

Min datter er ved at lære at læse. Det går fint. Men i den forbindelse skal man jo finde bøger der passer både på niveau og handling. Jeg forestillede mig derfor en bog hvor man kan skrue ned for Lix-tallet. Altså, at man har den rigtige bog, og så kan man vælge en forsimplet udgave med kortere […]

In the world today: USA is doing horrendous shit as usual. Trying to cover it up and look like the good guys as usual, now really really badly. Israel is doing genocidal shit to it's neighbours with US weaponry as usual. Russia is doing genocidal shit to it's neighbours as usual. Now with […]

Jeg har lige fundet ud af at Aldi trak sig ud af Danmark i 2022. Altså, det er da også lidt tid siden jeg var i en Aldi, men jeg var ikke klar over at de helt trak stikket. Mit manglende savn siger måske alligevel lidt om hvorfor de ikke findes her mere.

I would like #homeassistant to alert me if I have forgotten to take out the trash. First thought is a proximity sensor of some sort. Or just anything where I can detect that my trash can has moved the ten or so meters away from my house to the road (there are multiple trash cans on different […]

Burger is beer food. Pizza is wine food. I might have either with Prosecco.

The #bunnies know when the food is coming! #bunniesofmastodon

Så skal vi til at bage boller igen. Trin to: varm bagestålet op i 40 minutter. Det glemte jeg sidst og fandt ud af at hvis man ikke gør det, så er bagestålet koldere end alt andet og suger derfor varme ud af bollerne frem for at skubbe varme ind i dem og man ender med boller der slet ikke er […]

So I guess I had an old OpenAI account that I once upon a time had used for Dall-E that I had forgotten all about. Real nice of them to remind me so I could go and delete it!

What the fuck #Netflix

Jeg har sagt det før, og nu siger jeg det igen! Hvis man vil have alders (eller andet) verifikation, så kan det gøres fornuftigt anonymt med ialt 4 servere i spil: 1. Serveren der vil verificere noget. F.eks. Set socialt medie. 2. En proxy service der anonymiserer service 1. 3 […]

I just heard of #netbird - which seems like a European Open Source alternative to tailscale that you can even self host the Infrastructure of, if you feel like exposing yourself directly to the horrors of the Internet (I don't, hence netbird). https://netbird.io/

I have a surround sound setup in my living room. I also like music. So of course #dolbyatmos music plays a role. Fortunately #tidal has a bunch of music in atmos. Unfortunately the majority of artists (or mixers) apparently see this awesome control of 5-20 speakers as an excellent opportunity to […]

From somewhere on LinkedIn #AI #development

Why don't you love #AI? It's so fantastically impressive what it can do! It is! But disregarding the legally and morally questionable sourcing of data and usage of the AI, the societal, environmental and cognitive impact, the often objectively useless, even misleading results you get, then […]

We are so lucky that now when we need to move away from American digital monopoly and control, that we have a wide range of very mature software to choose from across a lot of categories. That just makes it so strange that it's so difficult to actually get moving. We don't have to rebuild […]

"Overhearing Americans is like listening to children that miraculously always grow stupider as time passes" - Someone on Lemmy regarding american politics

Looking at /e/OS. Lots of focus on privacy, degoogling, all good stuff. They have a compatibility check. Cool, let's see how my phone fares. I'm expecting a list of brands or something. What do I see instead? Please use a Google browser or a derivative thereof. No […] [Original post on mstdn.dk]

The fluffballs out in the snow. #bunnies #bunniesofmastodon

As a software developer I know that creating working software is difficult. It's so easy to introduce a small bug somewhere and then nothing works. This may however contribute to how annoyed I get when software has obvious quality of life gaps that are just so incredibly obvious and not at all […]

I have a #hometheater in the living room. This is not a good place for tv posters and what have you, but somehow I have managed to get a theme going with #lego instead that fits in nicely!

Hvis jeg har et enkelt håb for #danmarkskifter så er det at der kommer politisk pres på at afkoble borgernes platform fra amerikansk big tech. Jeg vil rigtigt gerne skifte til graphene på telefonen men jeg frygter at jeg dermed afskærer mig betydelig adgang til mit id, netbank og andre tjenester […]

Phantasia is what we call the ability to visualise something in your head. If I say blue umbrella with a bent handle you might see an image in your mind. Or, you might, like I do, not see anything. While most people have some degree of phantasia, I lie much closer to the #aphantasia side of the […]

News article from every day for the last year. #uspol

Picture from the daily baby walk. #itap

People looking back at the 2020s and wonder what happened to the American Empire are going to be so confused about how a clown was elected president and allowed to make himself clown dictator in a breath's time, trying to coerce the world to his whims on a daily basis.

The first four seasons of President Doofus on Comedy Central was certainly something. This first season after HBO has continued the series has certainly taken a dystopian turn, but it feels strangely derivative of The Man in the high Castle. #uspol

If ICE can do whatever they want with no consequences, then citizens are justified in taking any action in their means to escape them.

Trump vs Venezuela is a difficult one. It's like if one school bully beats up another school bully. Sure, it's bad, but fuck that guy, he had it coming. But also, you would feel the same way if the roles were reversed.

Growing up I found comfort in thinking of USA as a kind of world police, making sure the world behaves. At some point I found out how the American police works...

Once upon a time I wrote an app for #android. I called it Flipic and absolutely no one used it. I like it though. It has a rotation of pictures that it presents, one at a time. Additionally it monitors an email, automatically downloading new received images and […] [Original post on mstdn.dk]

Så fik jeg skudt det nye år i gang med en løbetur på godt 7,5km. Jeg har stadigvæk ikke løbet regelmæssigt længe nok til at få trænet noget op, men det er altid dejligt at arbejde på sig selv (uanset at arbejdet i sig selv kan føles forfærdeligt).

I dag tog vi til den Blå Planet. Mens børnene terroriserede en rokke fik jer et billede af en gople med telefonen. Nogen gange savner man det rigtige kamera... #danskerpix

So... Bad UX in #homeassistant (maybe not that hard to find, but this one got me): If you have a network share, and it for some reason fails to mount (for instance, because the NAS rebooted and needed a cuddle before coming fully online), then you are presented with a problem and two options […]

Ok, so the story thus far: I moved from Spotify to #tidal. Tidal Connect crashed my Marantz receiver in new and exciting ways. I bought a #wiim pro to fix it, surely a streamer can stream properly! It turns out the main problem with Tidal Connect is Tidal Connect being utter garbage. The Wiim […]

I just bought a #wiim pro (because I switched from Spotify to Tidal, and while my Marantz receiver conveniently supports Tidal connect it inconveniently tends to stop working or outright crash). It connects to my receiver via an optical cable. While it does have a trigger output, I don't think […]

So I have been using #spotify with #heos on my #marantz SR6015 surround receiver for years, and it's been working flawlessly. Since Spotify is kinda evil and bad we moved to #tidal instead, which also supports HEOS - either via Tidal Connect or directly from the HEOS app. About a month in I […]

[uspol] Just a reminder to everyone, that the mugshot of the American President, of which he is so fond, was taken when he was charged with election fraud, a case that was never concluded. It should be a stark reminder about his corruption and his displaying it shows how proud he is of it.

People are saying that openAI is enshittifying their product. And here I am, saying it was always shit...

You need to understand, when I use an #llm to write my announcement, then it is to save time. If I had to do fact checks, verify quotes or otherwise at all engage with the output, that would defeat the purpose, so don't blame me if everything "I" am telling you is completely false. The best I […]

I have set up a #homeassistant alarm for my kid where #musicassistant will play a song when she gets up. I have added a button for enabling the alarm and one for the time. But is it possible to somehow let my kid select the song she wants to hear from the dashboard? Right now I have hardcoded […]

The #govee MQTT #homeassistant integration is interesting. Since I got a Govee light chain I have wanted to define my own scenes (however impossible that might be) and set them at will from home assistant. However, I just could not get access to them. Their API should return it, which the MQTT […]

I just bought 5 zigbee water leak detectors (Aqara). One I put in one end of the house, where all the waterworks is done. All the way in the other end I have my zigbee coordinator. But that's not a problem, because somewhere near the middle of my house I have two lamps that work as routers. The […]
