As every year, I’m donating to #wikipedia (instead of #microsoft) to help keep one of the greatest projects on the internet alive and thriving. #awayfrombigtech

Normally I don’t walk around zoos with my smartphone out. I try to really be there, taking in all the different species with my senses. But I was so mesmerized by the penguins “flying” underwater in Wrocław’s Africarium that I had to record them for myself […] [Original post on mstdn.science]

I really like how the discussion under this post unfolded. https://mstdn.science/@jakmarcin/116063031640727823 #Fediverse

Fajnie wygląda ten nowy layout w Calibre. #ksiazki

It’s quite symbolic: just as China reaches its peak in #co2 emissions, the United States seems to be accelerating into climate change denial. If this path continues, the US will face severe consequences in the second half of the 21st century — and, sadly, much of the world will share the cost […]

Dzięki talentom moje żony #pączek był domowej roboty. #Tłustyczwartek

I joined #Twitter in 2007, where it was place to connect to experts, journalists and interesting people. #facebook was for friends and family. Now it became this twisted place to manipulate people, to spy on them, and to allow autocrats to stay in power. #socialmedia

Cal Newport argues that the ICE raids in Minnesota were not just policy, but a made‑for‑internet spectacle: a clash between protesters and a brutal state agency, engineered to generate viral footage and keep Trump’s base in a constant state of emotional activation. Similarly, the trial of German […]

Dziś chodzenie, nie mówiąc o jeździe na rowerze, było niezłym wyzwaniem. Za to widoki niesamowite - wszystko oblepione grubą warstwą lodu, jakby zanurzone w galaretce. #fotografia #zima To efekt kropel deszczu, które były już przechłodzone poniżej zera w […] [Original post on mstdn.science]

This made it really challenging to walk or ride a bicycle today, but the views were spectacular: everything was covered in a thick layer of ice. #photography #winter This was caused by rain droplets that were already below freezing point (supercooled) and then […] [Original post on mstdn.science]

@vladcampos I have cancelled my Evernote subscription and I am moving all my notes to obsidian. I was able to set it up almost exactly as I wanted and the Velocity theme is absolutely gorgeous. I am still struggling a bit with locations and I could not set-up a […] [Original post on mstdn.science]

I get impression that today’s internet is full of people, which try to sell us that being excellent means that you have to have some super elaborate procedures in your life. Keep it simple and do things which you really care for. My best scientific discoveries were made where I had almost no […]

I am trying to switch from #evernote to #obsidian, after many years with the latter. This is not an easy way for me, as they have very different philosophies. The one thing I have already learned - whatever over-complex recipes you see proposed on YouTube or on the web - ignore them. Start it […]

Question to #fairphone users. Is it possible to get access to Exchange accounts (mail, calendar, contacts) on a fairphone with e/os? I use iPhone at the moment. I do not want to switch to Android phone, but something which is free of #bigtech, but I need an access to my work calendar, contacts […]

RE: https://mamot.fr/@ploum/115923251561577968 Everyone who ever plans to be teaching and is forced to make their students take exams (especially in the academic environment but also outside) should read this. There is SO much to learn and think about from this post, not just about chatbots […]

Old-school evening ahead of me. :) #nostreaming

Very good commentary from @anneapplebaum on Trump leaving the reality train. https://journa.host/@anneapplebaum/115922455736440690 Ps Alternatively we could give him all the Nobel prizes including Physics, Chemistry and Medicine and let him enjoy himself in the corner of his house polishing them.

Z listu Trumpu do premiera Norwegii wynika, że ta cała heca z Grenlandią jest za to, że nie dostał nagrody Nobla. Proponuję, żeby dać mu wszystkie włącznie z fizyką i chemią i niech sobie poleruje je gdzieś w kącie.

Wow, this was a stunning #sunrise over northern Germany, with strong winds sculpting the clouds.

This looks like succesful #energiewende in Germany. All neighbours (incl. Poland with a lot of coal electricity) support Germany, but we do not need #nuclear cause we have so much #windenergy

Nie będę robił rankingu książek, które przeczytałem w 2025. Największe wrażenie wywarła na mnie powieść Jean Baptiste Andrea - Czuwając nad nią. To literatura wielopoziomowa, napisana przepięknym językiem, słodko-gorzką historia Mima - karła, który był genialnym rzeźbiarzem i Violi Orsini - […]

I have installed #firefox on my iPhone 11. Oh boy, I forgot that loading websites can be that fast.

After many years of mostly keeping up with the latest tech trends, I’ve decided to step off that path and go back to my roots. This year’s Christmas present is a CD player with Bluetooth, internet, and digital radio. My growing frustration with Alexa not […] [Original post on mstdn.science]

Prezent gwiazdkowy trafiony! Po kilku latach z „inteligentnymi głośnikami” radio z odtwarzaczem płyt CD (jako dinozaur mam kilkaset). Moja frustracja z głośnikami od Apple i Amazona rosła, bo mam dość sprecyzowane gusta, czego chcę słuchać. Absolutnie nie […] [Original post on mstdn.science]

@woollyapp Hi, I couldn’t send this post via Wolly App. Can you check why? https://mstdn.science/@jakmarcin/115770114891849571

Winter at the Baltic coast does not look like winter anymore. Maybe the lack of tourists with their windbreaks, towels, and inflatable menageries indicates that it is not summertime. #photo #baltic #beach

ON THIS DAY … … in 1893, Engelbert Humperdinck’s opera Hänsel und Gretel premiered in Weimar. … in 2021, some clueless social media person posts this photo of Engelbert on the Operabase account. #opera #HänselUndGretel #humperdinck #otd #onthisday

Dzieciaki, zamiast kalendarza adwentowego z działów marketingowych, mają kalendarz adwentowy aktywności. I co roku bardzo się na każdy dzień cieszą. #parenting
