Only thing I can see intensifying is the greedy look in the eyes of war profiteers. The biggest threat for Europe is the giant boner of the military industrial complex and every stupid “news” outlet that is just parroting its propaganda.

Today the frankenmouseboard got a new cable. Of course this kind of maintenance only happens once in a blue moon, after procrastinating a huge project up until the last day to then find out it involves clicking Ctrl+C 2500 times and the old cable is finally too old to work anymore. Couldn’t be arsed to go downstairs to fetch proper tools so I just chopped one of my charging cables to length with a kitchen knife (will have to replace when visiting town), looked up a diagram for the cable colours, and fucked it all together with sticky tape.

Now the cable is slightly longer and I’m very pleased with myself. I like this low effort low budget stuff a lot more than the fancy stuff I used to do that required ordering 1234567 parts from China.

Sieht jedenfalls aus wie Kaffee …

Wait this reminds me of the sourdough bread that needs to go in the oven. Thanks!

Mooooom! I can’t sleep. There’s an evil AI under my bed!

I might be cynical, but all these news about tiny attacks without any real damage might be just as well fabricated to manufacture consent for raising military budgets and even start a military intervention in Russia. I don’t believe propaganda from any side. Yes, I know, Russia is evil, or so the propaganda says. But so is every other empire.

I’d rather not go to war because someone’s nephew’s friend’s aunt is assumed to have claimed evil Russians probably peed in her front garden. I’d want to at least see the puddle and make sure it’s really Russian piss before supporting any sort of aggression.

So dear aunts with piss in your gardens, please come forward and show me the stains, else I will just try to continue with my everyday business.

I’m afraid it’s not just celebrities. It’s all of us. We’re complicit because we are relatively quiet, apart from moaning a bit online (which is exactly where they want us to complain because it achieves nothing).

People on the actual street complaining about their taxes being spent on murder and genocide maybe, and celebrities marching side by side. This used to be a thing: big in person protests. By giving us the internet to ‘speak up’ they effectively silenced us all and made us easier to ignore.

Please don’t hurt the feelings of the Spanish, they are still longingly looking back to the glorious old days of colonizing erm exploring foreign lands

BREAKING NEWS Man hits own head with hammer

Instructions unclear, penis mangled in spokes

Yes, “es läuft mir kalt den Rücken runter” when I read any news about what the German government is currently doing.

I’m not a dev by far but I read ‘hardcoded credentials’, was going to scroll on as I do, stopped, made a weird face and then laughed out loud for quite a while. Security, yeah. It’s at same time strange, really funny and very sad that words have lost all meaning. We’re living in full doublespeak times.

Don’t be a Luddite, Kronar, it’s the future and it’s inevitable!

The Smart Home Trap: Is It Really Too Difficult To Use A Light Switch?

Die Bettler in der Innenstadt haben mich damals als Kind schon radikalisiert. Die heile Kreuzviertelwelt schien nicht ganz mit den armen Menschen in der Stadt und am Bahnhof zusammenzupassen.

Später habe ich dann als sehr junges Gemüse mit den Punkern an der Reynoldikirche gestanden, da habe ich mich mehr zuhause gefühlt als im mittelständisch geprägten Kreuzviertel.

Später wurden die Punks dann in die Nordstadt vertrieben. Heute ist Dortmund eine blöde und traurige Möchtegern-Schickimicki-Stadt, ich hoffe die Menschen dort können sich die Buntheit zurückerobern. Düsseldorf imitieren ist doch scheiße.

Der Schimmel hat dann irgendwann keine andere Wahl mehr als wirklich laut und vehement zu schimmeln.

Nein!!!
