I got bullied by a hooded crow! 🥺 It was picking on my balcony plants, saw that I was watching, and decided to slowly pull out a smaller plant from one of the planters and drop it from the fourth floor into the street. I must have made a very astonished face, because I swear it looked quite […]

This video on network science gives so much food for thought. It explains scientifically why social media doesn’t create a better world merely by connecting us to each other, it also gives this really optimistic outlook that individual actions actually matter and can have a bigger impact than we […]

Anna B Savage makes the start of the autumn so much more bearable, maybe even a little bit enjoyable? https://on.soundcloud.com/2wMQ513niHOrADon6M 🍂

I started this sketchbook 3 months ago. And this morning, it was full! It contains a wild compilation of journal entries, studies, color swatches, drawings from old sketchbooks… When I started this, I was sure that it will just end up like many of my other […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Something came up, and I won’t make it to this event, does somebody want my ticket? https://www.publix.de/en/events/meredith-whittaker

My neighbor’s baby had an epic meltdown last night at 2 AM and woke up the entire building. After maybe just four hours of sleep, I put an outfit together this morning that makes me look like an Italian flag! 🇮🇹 Which let me to the epiphany that it CANNOT be a coincidence that the colors of […]

So… Christstollen ca. vier Monate vor Weihnachten, mh? :thaenkin:

📚 We have two book club events upcoming: 1) Sept 2, via Zoom: Discussion about Ursula K. LeGuin’s “The Word for World is Forest”. It’s a novella, just ~120 pages long, still plenty of time to read it! https://meetu.ps/e/PrnWx/KKBjZ/i 2) Sept 19, in-person in Berlin-Kreuzberg: We’re doing a […]

My friends have started a grant of €3,000 for emerging FLINTA* photographers. Here are the details on how to apply: https://sonntag-grant.org *FLINTA is a German abbreviation that stands for women, lesbians, intersex, non-binary, trans, and agender individuals.

One thing that the current exorbitant investments in "AI" show is that the investor class and big tech corporations do not pay enough taxes: If you have billions to set on fire for spicy autocomplete we should take some or all of those to do something useful with.

I had my last day at @VillageOneCoop last week, and in order to say proper "Auf Wiedersehen!", I wrote a little love (news)letter: https://www.village.one/garden/newsletter/041-a-crack-in-the-present 🫶🏼

There are still tickets to see @Mer__edith at @publix on Sept 25! Berliners, what are you waiting for? See you there? 🥳 https://www.publix.de/en/events/meredith-whittaker

I lived in Wedding, #Berlin for 6 years and always ignored the Bayer AG buildings, because I found then incredibly ugly! Today, while biking to a client's office and taking some photos along the way, I was surprised by how colorful the windows of this giant […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

One day, when human software developers have been entirely replaced by AI agents, I’ll open a little shop and offer artisanlly handcrafted code snippets, screen printed and framed beautifully… for our new robot overlord to purchase and decorate their walls.

I've been taking analog photos with the KODAK EKTAR H35 Half Frame Camera for more than 2 years now, and because the photo labs aren't good with scanning half frame negatives, I started to scan them at home with a super cheap and amateurish setup […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

I often come up with ideas in the shower. Not necessarily good ideas, but ideas… Like this gem:

So absolutely and hopelessly obsessed with this song and also just Lawrence as a whole... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjiFd9T44j0

The headlines of this tech article also all apply to dating… 😄 https://thoughtbot.com/blog/learn-what-you-can-then-move-on

I wrote a blog post about refactoring almost five years ago, and finally posted it today: https://www.zfhui.de/posts/2025-04-23-refactoring-code-with-the-fab-5

I’ve been trying to draw this dream that I had a while ago for weeks now, but I just couldn’t get it right… This morning, I decided to ignore the panel framing, and out of the blue (pun intended) everything just made more sense… (There are still more things […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Is it me? Or has the graphics and animations in Duolingo become more and more unhinged? 🤪

We're almost there, people! We're almost there!!! #berlin #winter

Es tut richtig gut, statt alleine zu Hause doomzuscrollen, vor die Tür zu gehen und gemeinsam mit Zehntausenden von stabilen Menschen gegen den Rechtsruck zu demonstrieren! 💪🏼 #wirsinddiebrandmauer #b0202 #berlin #noafd

I have a group of female friends that I regularly meet for dinners, where we discuss serious and (mostly) not-so-serious things. We call ourselves the “Hotpot Philosophers”. Recently, while planning the dinner to celebrate the Lunar New Year, I got the suggestion to draw a comic about us…

In light of recent events, I've been abandoning my Twitter account. I've already downloaded an archive and froze it after it was renamed X. Now, I'm slowly deleting my tweets, retweets and likes, one by one. I sometimes linger on one post a moment longer, reminisce about a world that felt so […]

Ich wollte dieses Mal auf dem Kongress mehr bei den vielfältigen, super coolen Sachen mitmachen als hauptsächlich Talks zu hören, und ein bisschen hat das auch geklappt… Hier haben @doro und ich die @VillageOneCoop Häuschen von @christowski mit Linoldruck vervielfältigt. #38C3 #c3div

Dafür, dass wir uns gestern als @ccc Community im #saal1 versammelt haben, um uns selbst für das Hacken von Technologien & Systemen und den zivilen Ungehorsam zu feiern – und das Motto dieses Jahr #illegalinstructions lautet –, fand ich unsere unmittelbare, kollektive Reaktion auf die […]

Who’s in Hamburg for #38C3? A few of us from @VillageOneCoop are around, say hi if you see us! 🙌

Ever since I watched season 3, episode 7 of 'The Bear', I've been completely obsessed with Adrianne Lenker's song 'No Machine'. And I've been learning it during my Chrismas break, so it somehow has become a Chrismas song for me. 😄 Happy holidays!

I'm pretty sure Albert will soon learn how to use a weapon and murder his creator for forcing him to endure hours and hours of humiliating simulations just to entertain us... 🦾 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_4BPjLBF4E&list=WL&index=48

So... I've made my Mastodon account visible in Bluesky via fed.brid.gy https://bsky.app/profile/zfhui.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy What happens now if I post something here? Will it only reference the posts I've wrote after the connection was made? (btw. I also have a proper Bluesky account […]
