I'm working on a tool that talks to the Bluesky API but I can't test it because I deactivated my account for a while and can't be bothered to create a new test account.

But since I'm writing it in Rust and the API crate is very strict about types too, I can be almost sure that as long as it compiles it'll be pretty much correct and I can just keep working, sure that I didn't build myself into a corner.

Wenn die SPD tatsächlich so drauf wäre, wie dieses eine Plakat in Berlin Wilmersdorf behauptet, dann wäre echt viel gewonnen.

Wenn nur ...

Achja, und das Plakat ist wahrscheinlich "AI" generiert, sorry.

1933 would like a word with you please

Really disheartened by the Debian news but I also don't have the capacity right now to migrate to something else. Not to mention: what would that somewhere else even be?

(Please no suggestions at this time. This is me coping, not solution-finding)

What's a good fedi client for Android these days? I've only been using the mobile web UI for a while now.

As my time with the MNT Pocket Reform laptop has come to an end it's time for a retrospective over these two-ish years of using it:

That feeling of really enjoying a computer ... so good

Literally as was typing this an ambulance rushed past through traffic, using the siren in bursts when necessary, cops followed about 10sec after and were blasting it non-stop.

Watching other people use computers builds character!

All that talking to fascists will just talk them into power.

Just remembered that I made this sticker design a while back. I should actually get it printed

Big success of this week: I got all my coworkers to stop using LLMs by making a pretty good security and data protection argument.

Please clap.

Problem when using more than one ThinkPad with the same desktop environment on each: telling them apart.

Multiple times last night I grabbed one and wondered why the shell was not in the state that I expected.

I remember Excel being fast and able to handle quite large amounts of data, on computers from 20 years ago.

I just ground it to a halt with some basic string operations and filters on 150 rows.

Performance used to be the main selling point of Excel over Apple's Numbers which had the vastly superior UI.

There was a mantis sitting on the front door yesterday. I've never seen one in real life before.

I moved it to a bush in the back yard so it wouldn't get crushed in the door hinge but damn these little fuckers are strong. It really held on to its spot.

It kind of messes with you when a client being late for an appointment could very much mean they're dead.

It was bizarre to walk through the remains of yesterday's big CSD party, champagne bottles and everything, on the way to today's vigil for the murdered and injured.
