Mein vielleicht überflüssigster Pet Peeve ist, dass ich bei der Software Forgejo immer zu mir selbst grummelnd sage „EIGENTLICH schreibt sich 'Schmiede' auf #Esperanto aber Forĝejo. Mit so einem kleinen niedlichen Dach auf dem g!“
Weil mir das aber selbst zu nerdig und besserwisserisch ist, sage ich das nie laut. Aber denken muss ich das jedes Mal.

Offenbar werden auch Iren von der ICE ausgeschafft. Selbst dann, wenn sie mit Amerikanerinnen verheiratet sind.
Es geht also nicht um die Hautfarbe, nicht um die Sprache. Es geht nur um Terror.
Um Angst und Schrecken und vermutlich um dieses unfassbare Gefühl der Macht, wenn man sie verbreiten kann.
Shame on you, Mr. President.

Ein monatelanger Streik der Kieler Werftarbeiter*innen und der IG Metall hat 1956/57 die Lohnfortzahlung im Krankheitsfall für alle erkämpft.
Aktueller denn je, denn genau diese - scheinbaren - Selbstverständlichkeiten werden gerade von der CDU angegriffen. Lange Zeit unvorstellbar.

Still can't connect to this account from home reliably.
I'm pretty sure this is a client-side DNS problem. I can get to my account using Google Chrome on my laptop (which is how I am sending this).
But I can't connect using Safari, or using @ivory on Desktop or iPad/iPhone.
I've cleared DNS caches in MacOSX, I've deleted all website data from the domain in Safari, I’ve cleared cookies, restarted a million times.
I'm left with nuclear options now... I'll try removing/reinstalling Ivory. And then see if I can do similar with Safari.
If anyone has any ideas, let me know. :-|

When "self-driving" cars were first getting some hype back in ~2015 or so, I told people who asked me that I didn't think they'd be safe, and that I wished the same money were being invested in driver-assistance systems instead.
At the time, advocates were claiming that self-driving cars would be safer than human drivers.
We now have both self-driving cars and some nifty new driver assistance things, and it turns out that the self-driving cars are in fact being developed by corporations whose attention to the bottom line results in danger to others on the road pretty regularly. I don't actually have stats here for whether they're "safer than human drivers" or not, but the opportunity for one bad software update to make *all* self-driving cars dangerous at once kinda makes me doubt that.
Here's an example of Waymo cars getting "more aggressive" as they try to balance between being too timid and obstructing traffic (including emergency vehicles) and being too dangerous:

Here's another example of passing stopped schoolbusses leading to a software recall:
abcnews.go.com/GMA/News/waymo-
In the first article, Waymo claims 91% fewer serious accidents per mile. Obviously an independent audit would be actually trustworthy, but even if we take that claim at face value, it's meaningless if an update tomorrow causes 100,000 accidents.
Note that they could be using better engineering practices, and the fact that they aren't shows that they don't care enough about the risks. They could be deploying new software versions incrementally and slowly, letting new versions rack up lots of miles only on a few vehicles before pushing them to a fleet. The should also have the equivalent of a simulation unit test for "schoolbus is stopped, what do?" and if a software version fails that test, it doesn't make it to the fleet. Clearly they don't have that.
I feel pretty vindicated in my earlier prediction that this tech is a bad idea in the hands of the current advocates.

1976 wurde ich eingeschult (Südostbayern), mit 12 wechselte ich in die 7. Klasse Realschule. Realschüler und Gymnasiasten mussten mit dem Linienbus in die Kreisstadt fahren anstatt mit dem „normalen“ Schulbus. Aus- und Einstieg war für uns (meistens) der Bahnhof. Dort gab es einen – für mich damals sehr großen – und recht gut sortierten Zeitschriftenladen. Mit 14 kaufte ich dort meine erste Die Zeit und verstand nur wenig. Seitdem habe ich wenig Angst davor, Dinge nicht sofort zu verstehen.<…

Seit über 30 Jahren arbeite ich für US-IT-Konzerne und kenne amerikanische Naivität und Selbstherrlichkeit. Und doch habe ich dort auch das „gute Amerika“ erlebt – kluge, offene, liberale Menschen. Genau diese USA vermisse ich. Gibt es noch eine Chance für die Demokratie jenseits von Trump und MAGA?

Latest 8x6" toned kallitype print, fresh from the tray (well, from the drying line)... 🤩
(Kallitype is quite challenging in terms of balancing achieving deep blacks vs detail, so this scene took quite some tweaking to retain the details in the band of dark shadowy forest, but I'm happy how it turned out...)

Phone picture of a 8x10" piece of paper with a slightly smaller kallitype print of a high alpine mountain landscape. The picture shows the view of deep valley with a long smooth glacial ridge leading up to snow covered peaks. A band of forest is running down the slopes in the foreground, still mostly in the shade, but a small area near the edge which is catching the morning sun.

Ob Software in der Cloud, SmartTV, die Waschmaschine, die mit dem Server reden will, … und natürlich alles, was verhindert, daß ich mit dem, was ich bezahlt habe, mache, was ich will: der Kapitalismus möchte uns zukünftig die Welt vermieten, selbst wenn wir Produkte kaufen. ganz gehören sollen sie uns nie.
