Wie schwer kann es schon sein eine Python App zu deployen.

Ja.

The Internet - what a marvelous place. I won’t stop loving the internet we had and dreaming of an internet we could have.

It is my home. It is a place where strangers can become friends. A place where friends can become lovers.

The internet is full of wonders (and goatse) and neither meta nor google or whoever can get the part they can not monetize: IRC rooms or those weird little communities only recording sound of sleeping cats.

It is a magical world outside - let‘s go exploring!

Now I have something in my eyes.

>> and today, ca. 20 years later, we still talk every now and then. We are still part of her life.

6 years ago she was living in Paris, had a boyfriend in Berlin. She was visiting him for her birthday. He called her when she arrived in Berlin at the airport and told her that this relationship has ended.

The person she called was me. She spent the weekend on my couch and again I tried to create her a great birthday.

She played with Barbara, I ordered food, we watched silly TV shows. >>

>> at the end she had a a few decent days with some fun and could fly home and was not totally desperate.

She can call at 3 in the morning and I will write into an IRC channel that she needs us and we will do everything we could to be there. And she will do the same for us.

And that is the internet I hold dear. The internet I love and miss. The internet that made the day for a 16 year old girl that thought she had no one in the world. The internet that proved her wrong.

>> We had so much fun and made her day. We laughed more than her sister with her „cool friends“. We were the perfect guests. We played games, we laughed. SHE laughed. Later she said the first times for months.

We just were us. Of course we did not drink or take drugs. Of course we did not swear the amount we normally did.

It was a perfect 16th birthday for her. For us it was meeting a friend. I still do not know her „real name“ because her real name is her IRC nick. >>

>> In a mood I said „well, we could come.“ Tje rest agreed - we could come.

„But what should I say to my dad?“ - I suggested „I have some people I want to invite. My friends from the internet“. I did not really think that she said this to her father. It was a bad joke I thought. Well, little did I know that she was so desperate that she asked her dad „can my friend from the internet come?“. He said yes. >>

>> We all said „we‘ll come!“ and so it happened that 15 adults went to a 16th birthday party.

We coordinated in another channel that she did not know that we bought presents, made cake and planned games. And of course a cake fight.

The day came. Several cars arrived at the house and Metall heads, Goths and Punks arrived at „the venue“ :D >>

>> her mother had died, her dad was still in grief. She had a twin sister.

I don’t know what made us take care of her online. We were there. We listened when she talked about here grief, her pain and how alone she felt. We do our best.

Then came the day where she told us that her dad demands that she and her twin sister will have a birthday party for her 16th birthday. „All the people of my school will come. For her. I don’t have friends at school. You are my friends.“ >>

I was asked by a 20 year younger friend how my internet was back then. I needed a moment but then I told her the story of an IRC channel and how we made the day for a young girl who happened to be on our IRC channel. Because this is what my internet was like back then and I wish sometimes it still was like this. Let me tell the story:

I was 25, the channel members were like 20 to 30 years old. Somehow this young girl found her way to us. She was 14 when she joined the channel. >>

When the Zendari attacked the Humans no one came to help. Humans, living on this hellscape they call home. Humans, the one we laughed at when they arrived in their clumsy ships. Humans, always so chatty, so annoying. Humans, never able to wield psychic power like the rest of us. Humans… the Humans. We did not know.

The Zendari came in full force, destroying the human ships, their orbital stations, colonies, everything on their way that was human. >>

Der erste CSD dieses Jahr wurde von Ordnungsamt und Polizei vorzeitig beendet - 4h früher als geplant. Ich bin sauer.

#StarWars #Andor S02E03 - the title „Harvest“ has so many layers it is just great. There are three different “harvests” in the episode and if watch this episode be prepared: it is hard to watch. There is a sexual assault scene - the assaulted woman smashes the imperial officers skulls. The hard thing to watch is the officer using his power trying to assault her.

@posiputt this. But it was a powerful scene as well. Adria Arjona also very clearly put her heart and soul into giving Bix power in a scene that could have taken so much from her. And in interviews, Arjona herself is adamant about the power it gave HER. Her saying “Rape” was everything. Clearly naming what was going to happen.

The empire is a reflection of us - men in power will assault women. And showing a woman (of color) fighting back is huge.

Everytime when some TERF (hi JK) spills hate I remember a passage in Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novel Feet of Clay - Carrot and Angua discuss Littlebottom‘s new pronouns:

"Well, I would have though she'd have the decency to keep it to herself," carrot said finally. "I don't think it's very clever, you know, to go around drawing attention to the fact."
"Carrot, I think you might have something wrong with your head," said Angua.
"What?"
"I think you might have it stuck up your bum."

Ach Python… mach doch so was nicht. Ich geb dir gleich Exception. Komm du mir nur nach Hause ey

And what do we do when we are feeling sad? Right, cocaine.

What do you mean I‘m struggling with depression? I am actually quite good at it!

I swear these billionaires could announce they're going to start hunting us for sport and some people would still be out there defending it with they're whole chest like
"you're just mad because you can't run fast."

Lied des Tages: Subway to Sally mit Leinen los:

Wir setzen die Segel
Wir lichten die Anker, fahren hinaus
Wir gehen neue Wege
Niemals zurück, immer voraus
Die Leinen los
Ein Sturm kommt auf
Die Leinen los
Niemals zurück, immer voraus
Die Leinen los
