This mastodon client came to me in a fever dream. I had to waste the whole day, but now you too can bunnyhop through your fedi feed. https://files.burning.homes/experimental/hall-of-toots/index.html * webgl required * mobile somewhat supported * yes this html file is a whole client and the […]

This morning, I am announcing the RIIP (Rewrite It In Piet) Initiative. Has the old stack you trained on, hired for, and know how to operate gone stale? Have you been through the TIOBE Top 100 looking for something nicer and found a blemish in each? RIIP! https://esolangs.org/wiki/Piet Are you […]

hm. i wonder what this may cause

Guess who was one of very few people wearing a mask at the OpenInfra Summit and who is now down with a conference flu? 😭

Just received an email from YouTube that they'll soon enable autodubbing on the OctoPrint channel for new and soon also old videos. Hell no, every time I run into this AI shit when watching YouTube I just want to scream, it's THAT bad. Thankfully, there's a way […] [Original post on chaos.social]

Whenever I see "GenAI basically can do the work of a junior dev", I assume that those people are using junior devs very differently from me. To me, the value of a junior developer is maybe like 20% the code they write, and 80% is a down payment to a future where they no longer are a junior. I […]

Central #Düsseldorf close to where I am now. "You shall not pass!"

Cory Doctorow @pluralistic about #enshittification , with quotes you just have to love him for: "Ink is the most expensive fluid you can buy as a civilian without getting a permit. It sells for more than $10,000 a gallon, making it literally cheaper to print your grocery list with the semen of […]

I'm not sure, but the code might do something with UUIDs. #programming #golang #uuid

🇪🇺Germany's Minister of Justice today: "Suspicionless #chatcontrol must be taboo in a state governed by the rule of law." Private communication cannot be placed under general suspicion. "Germany will not agree to such proposals at the EU level." […]

Bloody pipewire, as if pulseaudio was not problematic enough...

Follow-up to the story about broken USB-C on Thinkpad: apparently fixing this part is either impossible or too expensive, so a new laptop it is. Lesson learned: if you buy devices charged via USB-C without a clear way to replace the port, get used to buying a new device each time the warranty […]

Starting lunchtime with some official emails against #chatcontrol. https://fightchatcontrol.eu (pretty bad UX btw but I understand the urgency)

Man fragt in der #Süddeutsche am Wochende: wieso baut man in Europa nicht eine eigene Social-Media-Infrastruktur? 🤦‍♂️ Könnte jemand sie darauf hinweisen, dass wir hier sowas seit mehreren Jahren haben, aber fast niemand interessiert sich dafür, nicht einmal die #sz selbst?

Ich habe hier etliche Auflagen von Linux Magazin (ca 2019-2023), die ich echt nicht brauche. Braucht jemand zufällig diese oder geht's in Altpapier?

Это также объясняет и абсолютно всё что я вижу в русскоязычном твиттере

Joshua Rogers sent us a *massive* list of potential issues in #curl that he found using his set of AI assisted tools. Code analyzer style nits all over. Mostly smaller bugs, but still bugs and there could be one or two actual security flaws in there. Actually truly awesome findings. I have […]

“Rise and shine, kiddo, we got a catch operation on runway 22. 1700pax onboard.” “Second one this month. Heckin sloppy, boss.” “You know, they used to just land airplanes on the belly if the landing gear got stuck” “That’s wack. Surely it’d wreck the plane?” “Pretty much yeah. They had the […]

Comic from Pat Bagley / Salt Lake Tribune #politics

Folks, any ideas for a diagram scripting language that is like d2lang but with an actually maintained layout engine that does not make really odd placing decisions once you get past hello-world level diagrams? I guess I could take whatever d2lang produces and fix it in inkscape, but I'd rather […]

Yesterday we had a fun competition in a local #bouldering gym! We fared... not so well 😆 I got 175 points out of 400 possible, which obviously wasn't enough for finals. Some lessons learned. While I had least been aware of rather weak fingers (that have […] [Original post on mastodon.online]

Interessanter, als dass die AfD ihre Bundesgeschäftsräume nach einem Gerichtsurteil räumen muss, fände ich, wenn sie den Bundestag nach einem Gerichtsurteil räumen muss. 👀

Absolutely insane that the EU digital wallet literally doesn't support any desktop system

Sorry for a bit of a #uspol, but if Trump seriously introduces $100k payment for H-1B visas, it will be the strongest "find out" in the history of "find outs" for the tech industry. Just as a reminder, a German blue card is much cheaper and has significantly better conditions.

Are all Kompass guides so bad, or is Bergisches Land just too boring, or are my expectations entirely off? The main thing I want to know, especially outside of the most famous and spectacular regions, is where a certain tour is worth the travel to its […] [Original post on mastodon.online]

Gestern im Zug ein interessantes Gespräch mit einem älteren kanadischen Paar. Wir haben bald 1,5h geredet. Was ich nicht wußte: Kanada besteht aus 10 Bundesstaaten. Bis vor acht Monaten gab es Handelsbeschränkungen zwischen diesen Bundesstaaten und Ausbildungen wurden wechselseitig nicht […]

Given the fact there's now good reasons to believe the (_alleged, but himself confessed_) assassin of Charlie Kirk was a right wing gun nut, to whom Kirk was not right wing enough, makes me feel more valid in my cynical criticism of Kirk and his passing. He died not just as a result of the […]

New finger training setup for the home gym. I tried hanging these tools on the pull-up bar (as intended) but it feels rather awkward to train under body weight. #bouldering #climbing

Heads-up: https://openrss.org/blog/using-cloudflare-on-your-website-could-be-blocking-rss-users If someone has connections in TheInsider (a long shot, I know), let them know that they've just lost an unclear (and potentially high) number of readers who no longer receive any updates.

Now that the main vacation season is over, we can use the remaining warm weather for relaxed #camping. A pretty minimal setup today. Enough for one night, we don't want to spend an hour assembling everything. Our favorite site near Afferden in the Netherlands.

#Bouldering vlog I'm very happy with how this turned out. White difficulty is my "aspiration" level, and this route did not initially look doable: slopy volumes followed by nearly completely blocked crimps. The part leading to the third volume proved to be […] [Original post on mastodon.online]

If we were a serious species we’d have spent the last 5 years getting to the point where everyone could wake up, spit into a tube and go about their morning routine before getting a readout whether they were infected with flu/covid/RSV and if they were they could stay home until they were no […]

#Bouldering vlog. A very productive session today (maybe because I eat well and a lot in the bulking phase of my weight training 😁), but not much to show on video. Here is a nice slab route. The first difficulty is the start, namely to realize that I didn't […] [Original post on mastodon.online]

BREAKING: Der Vorgänger Jens Spahns, der langjährige Fraktionsvorsitzende der CDU, hat ein atemberaubendes Interview gegeben! Darin spricht sich Volker Kauder nicht nur für eine klare Abgrenzung gegen die AfD aus, sondern er attackiert die aktuelle Führung! Das ganze Interview: just WOW! 1/4

Visited #caravansalon in #Düsseldorf today. My impression: 1. Things keep developing in the luxury direction, minimalistic options are scarce. 2. Electrification is nowhere to be found. One electric minivan, two promises of PHEV. Diesel is king. 3. Rooftop tents are on fire. Normal tents are […]

"Uns hat die Wehrpflicht auch nicht geschadet", sagen Vertreter der Generation, die noch ein Eigenheim für 5 Mark kaufen konnten, dann den Sozialstaat entkernt haben und jetzt den Jugendlichen – ohne sie jemals über ihre Zukunft mitbestimmen zu lassen – einen kochendheißen Planeten übergeben.

Does anyone know if I can change Claude Code, so that after a correction instead of "You're absolutely right!" it says "Yes, m'lord!"?

Must-read: So-called "age verification" laws are spreading. They will not protect kids. They are grossly insecure. They will be tools of censorship, surveillance, and oppression. They amount to requiring a license to speak -- and to read. We have to stop this […]

"Sideloading" is the rentseeker word for "being able to run software of your choosing on a computing device you purchased". There is no reasonable case for an operating system developer having a say over what programs you run on your hardware. #android #google

You will never convince anybody not to accept a bad tradeoff in which the cons outweigh the pros by lying about whether the tradeoff contains any pros whatsoever

Gotta say it sucks to hear over the last 30-40 years how progressive policies that directly help citizens could never be enabled by the stroke of a pen, but in just a few short months a moody dictator can enact any cruel authoritarian idea no one wants or needs and it gets implemented nationwide […]

Giant US pickups must not be normalized as civilian vehicles on the EU market. Same goes for US SUVs, too. No to RAMs, no to F-series, no to Suburbans, no to Escalades. European streets are for people […]
