Finished my first semi-long ride on Rouvy. I really like how realistic it feels and how practical it is for winter training. Feeling confident as I prepare for my upcoming triathlon. #biking #triathlon

Runkeeper might be dead, but I managed to unlock one more emoji.

I am unsubscribed from every marketing email I am aware of. This is not enough: now the new tactic is to ask you for consent, out of nowhere, to provide them with permission to send you marketing emails! There was a reason I opted out in the first place motherfuckers!

My hack for last week has been to deactivate all incoming notifications on my phone and computer. Chances are, you don't need to instantly react to any of them, and you can gain a lot of focus time.

For Black Friday, I am thinking of buying some Louis Vuitton stocks for my wife. I told her I would buy her a Louis Vuitton, I didn't mention the word stocks. Either a divorce, or to the moon from here.

Last week I wrote a draft of an article I had been thinking about for some time, on Compose interoperability with XML. I take pride in writing my own content: It helps me to sharpen my narrative skills, and I learn something on the way. While doing research...

Rosalía can sing you a reggaeton song one moment and a German opera with a full orchestra and Björk the next. If she keeps evolving like this she will become Aphex Twin in 5 years. www.youtube.com/watch?v=htQB...

Despite trying, I wasn't able to register at the ZUT this year. I guess my ZUT chapter has come to an end, and I will run my 100 miler somewhere else. Thanks for all the fish!

I opened Amazon after a few months. I spent a couple of minutes, browsing and realized I have all the material positions I need. I have been heavily cutting unnecessary expenses this year, and I couldn't be happier in that regard.

“When people start habitually exercising, even as infrequently as once a week, they start changing other, unrelated patterns in their lives, often unknowingly. Typically, people who exercise start eating better and becoming more productive at work.” – Charles Duhigg

Our November KTUG Munich Meetup has been announced. RVSP before we run out of space, and looking forward to meeting you. www.meetup.com/kotlin-user-...

Munich, the place where you can buy a house for over a million € that: - Needs absolute renovation - It is far away from any urban centre - Includes a Wohnrecht (somebody will stay in the house without paying any rent until they die, but you have to carry all the maintenance costs).

Hello friends, Do I know any developers in my network who are using ExoPlayer APIs in their current project, ideally in depth, like developing custom components? Ping me!

Are there any fandom runs planned during @droidcon.bsky.social Berlin this year? I’d be glad to join, either early in the morning before the conference starts or right after the last session on Thursday.

I will be pacing the Munich Marathon on October 12th and just received a really nice surprise from the organizers: a pair of Brooks Hyperion Max. A European brand would have been even better, but I really appreciate the gift.
