Wearing these within 50m of a Spielplatz or a Kita will 100% get you added to a government register.

Its kind of wild how accurate and prescient Silicon Valley was.

A German court has ruled that it is legal to state that the man who runs the Mรผller (Rice) empire is a supporter of the far-right AfD. Mรผller repeatedly denied it, which says everything about how bad he knew that association could be for his business. I hope the boycotts intensify.

A long surgery was successful in removing the tumour, and now she can finally eat and talk again.

Radiotherapy and possibly chemo will follow, but today I'm focusing on the good day.

There have been very few good days over the past month, but today was a good day.

My wife was diagnosed with cancer at the beginning of February, and since then I've been sitting at her bedside in the hospital.

It's frustrating that so many development tools and platform instructions now start with "Step 1: Run a python script to launch a web server."

Super as an adverb. Listening to adults describe things as 'super exciting', 'super interesting', etc. just makes me cringe.

If people want to understand how we got here, the destruction of the press, by both changing technology and failures to adjust and deliberate destruction, is a major reason, possibly THE largest reason, why.

Support media you value.

I think a useful response to the political plans of well-funded fascists is not "how ridiculous, they could never achieve those laughably cruel aims" but instead "they mean what they say, they are going to kill a lot of people before they are stopped, how about we make sure they don't get to try".

I think it's kind of funny people are realizing if they use LLMs to do stuff for them then they lose the ability to do it themselves

Gotchaโ€”letโ€™s dig into that step by step.

1. ๐—ฌ๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—ป๐—ผ ๐—บ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜๐—ต, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. Youโ€™re not just immobileโ€”youโ€™re immortal, and you feel only anguish.

Australian Open 2026: How Novak Djokovic, Iga Swiatek and others try to avoid jetlag Tennis players might be considered super-human but they suffer with jetlag like the rest of us - particularly when they travel to the Australian Open.

In case you want the link. They will (hopefully not) change the image soon.

US tech giants allying with European far-right to strip back EU rules Amid rising EU-US tensions, a new report has accused Big Tech of courting far-right MEPs to weaken the EU's regulatory power on AI and data.

"Big Tech companies such as Google, Microsoft and Meta increased their meetings with far-right groups in the European Parliament ahead of the Commission's push last year, revealed a new analysis by non-profit organisations Corporate Europe Observatory (CEO) and LobbyControl."

Yeah, friendliness goes a long way. My wife called Vodafone on 31st and the guy we spoke to was just so rude. I really calmly asked him if he could be a bit more polite to us and he just ended the call.

If anyone's new year's resolution was to lose their shit at the worst customer support ever, I can highly recommend Vodafone DE. They are next level incompetent, guaranteed fury. 5 Stars.

It's like trying to find an electric car which is essentially a boring car that will fit four adults and two big dogs.
So many cars look big but have no real space inside, and are packed full of features no one needs.

Just give me a basic car with some space inside.

That's very kind, thank you. I'm looking at anything quite far north but it's looking increasingly like it might have to wait until winter 2027. But when, it will be with both kids but no wife, due to her extreme dislike of anything under 10ยฐC. ๐Ÿ˜„
