Freya Holmér, one of my greatest role models, has made a video about how generative AI is a parasitic cancer you should all watch: https://youtu.be/-opBifFfsMY
Was @linuzifer in der aktuellen Folge von @lnp über seine positive Grundhaltung sagt, ist ein Plädoyer für Humor und Freude gegen Angst und Hass.
Weil die Telekom immer noch nicht vernünftig peert, gibt es nun eine neue Kampagne für eine Beschwerde bei der Bundesnetzagentur.
Uhhh, I have a strange request. If you own a bread knife with a flat-sided handle in your kitchen, and calipers or something else that will measure to the nearest millimetre or so, and want something to do for 30 seconds, could you tell me how thick the handle is?
Yes, I'd like to collect some random samples of bread knife handle widths. Doesn't matter what brand, what it looks like, how long the blade is or where in the world you are.
I will explain later. Boosts appreciated.
Das #Weingut #Mehling in #Deidesheim ist aufgrund ihrer L-Nr., die mit #fckafd beginnt, Opfer von Reviewbombing und „nicht so netten Nachrichten“ geworden.
Sie haben übrigens auch einen tollen Traubensaft, nehmen Bestellungen über Internet und telefonisch an und verschicken ihre Bestellungen ins ganze Bundesgebiet.
The human awoke, stretching with a big yawn.
"What a night," he mumbled.
"It's been longer than that," the tree whispered.
He observed the aged branches, the unchanged sky and the wildness of his loyal horse.
"Well, t'was the best sleep I've had, I feel so refreshed... Who is now king?"
The tree told him.
"Sounds like it's time to remove that saddle and groom my horse," remarked the man, "Then it'll be time for another refreshing nap."
Wenn das Fediverse gut funktioniert, dann wirkt es für mich wie ein ordentlicher nicht-kommerzieller Filter für das Internet. All die User suchen die schönsten Perlen aus dem Netz, teilen ihre Funde, extrahieren den ganzen Müll, den Hass und die Werbung heraus und übrig bleibt das Konzentrat.
Lauter interessante Dinge und das ohne, dass ich zwanzig stunden Cookiebanner wegclicken muss oder mich durch siebenzwanzig Produktempfehlungen wühlen muss.
So mag ich Internet.🤓
"Eine große wissenschaftliche Studie aus Wales zeigt: Grundschulen können Mobbing zwischen Schülern deutlich verringern und den Kindern viel Leid ersparen. Das Programm stammt ursprünglich aus Finnland und heißt "Kiusaamista Vastaan" ("Gegen Mobbing"). Im Kern steht die Annahme, dass vor allem unbeteiligte Zeugen die entscheidende Rolle beim Mobbing spielen."
Könnte vielleicht auch in social media funktionieren. Ach ja: Die "unbeteiligten Zeugen", das sind wir (alle)
@soatok Many years ago, I read a productivity study that said ‘knowledge worker’ (a phrase I hate) productivity increased to 20 hours a week, plateaued until 40 and then decreased. Over 60 it tended to be net negative. A few years later, I read a study that attempted to reproduce the result and came up with numbers that were well within experimental error margins.
This seemed obvious for programmers. It takes ten seconds to introduce a bug that takes a week to debug. If you sleep for ten hours instead of writing buggy code while tired, you will achieve more simply by not creating more work.
I was quite surprised recently talking to someone who studies this kind of thing as her research topic. She was just finishing up a study of construction workers that came up with almost the same numbers. I guess it shouldn’t be surprising that fixing an error in a building is very expensive, so even if they may be easier to find than programming defects they’re much harder to fix and it works out roughly even.
I worked 20 hour weeks for a while when I was contracting (always bid as fixed-price, so the customer didn’t need to know how long I was working). Several people expressed surprise at how quickly I worked. I did the same during my PhD. People in the lab were surprised that I would roll up at 10 or 11, have coffee for an hour, work an hour, go for lunch for a bit, then work a couple more hours and still got a lot done when they were working much longer hours. I tried to explain that I wasn’t more productive in spite of working shorter hours, I was more productive because I was working shorter hours. I’d turn up after a good long night’s sleep, relaxed, and then work for four really focused hours. I got far more done in that time than I would if I had been working a ‘full’ work day.
When people join my team, I tell them this and tell them I want 20 productive hours of work from them. How they spread that out over the week is up to them.
Hermes #Phettberg hat uns viel hinterlassen, darunter auch seinen Vorschlag zum „#Entgendern nach Phettberg”: Statt Konstruktionen mit umständlichen Sonderzeichen wird das Wort zum Neutrum und ein „y” am Ende eingefügt.

I have just implemented one of the most cursed thing ever!
An implementation of Conway's Game of Life in a MANUAL PAGE, by abusing the Turing completeness of the roff language.
On most systems (a system that uses groff and man-db), the following command will give you a life demonstration:
$ curl https://codeberg.org/cve/mott/raw/branch/main/mott.1 | man -l -
Support for other roff implementations such as mandoc is planned.
You can find more about it here: https://codeberg.org/cve/mott

“We said no to #Coachella for next year because again, we’ve been there once, and once was enough. It’s in Palm Springs. It’s a golf resort built on a desert, run on a sprinkler system, using public water supplies. Mental. If you want to see something that’s the most ludicrous bit of human behavior, it’s right there.”
