Cycling, languages, urban planning, politics. Works in the internet freedom complex, Digital Rights. At parties I feel most at home in some dark corner, where I can dance as if no-one sees me.
A really nice and easy to digest piece on communities not being fungible, Online and in physical space.

"This is why so many attempts to "build community" from scratch end up producing something that looks like community but functions like a mailing list.

Pentagon used Anthropic's Claude in the operation to capture Maduro? The operation included bombing targets in Caracas. Anthropic: "we cannot comment on whether Claude was used for any specific operation." The "safe AI" company hit the battlefield faster than it could update its terms of service?

He: When your lyrics become a manifesto - can it still be music?

A: sure, you can listen and enjoy music without understanding a single word.

The Wikipedia page "Ethics" exists in (at least) 148 languages.

I think it's a popular theme under the contributors.

Warum gibt es keine vernünftige Fahrradklingel (mehr)?
Laut, nicht nur 'Ping', funktioniert in Kälte und mit Regen, ohne Batterie, GPS oder Bluetooth.🔔🚲

I learned things about food, but questions remain (German):
* Hühnereiweiß: no one can assure me that it's protein from the egg or from the chicken itself?
* Hirschhornsalz: wtf, salts made from ground deer🦌 horns. You can get baker's ammonia in a vegan version. According to the ingredient list?

Someone feels like making a hoodie/t-shirt with something like "us-int keyboards - the pinnacle of usa-imperialsim"?

Some people have opinions on cycling and visibility.

This is how an army would use bicycles.

Het woord terreur is wel heel inflationel. Verdient een compliment voor de bedenker van deze kop.

Pappie, hoe werkt dat eigenlijk, extreemrechts normaliseren?
In mijn Nederland kunnen Sylvana Simons, Fleur Agema en ik samen aan tafel zitten. Fel in het debat, maar met respect voor elkaar.

De Nederlandse vlag is niet van één partij, maar van iedereen die vooruit wil. Het kan wél!

Nach Schätzungen der Polizei waren 750 auf der Kidical Mass. Bei bestem Wetter ging es entlang der Hauptverkehrsachsen Nürnbergs (Altstadtring, HBF, Plärrer, Fürther Straße,...) durch die Stadt für eine familienfreundliche Fahrradinfrastruktur!

Danach gab es noch ein Kinderkonzert von Tim Mohr!

The new form of #captcah is made in text. Try to get past an AI firewall to reach actual customer support.

In the only ' #internet #explorer' supported times are having their revival. Chrome only for booking a long distance bus. Or use their app. Only chrome webview.

Are there really no gitlab/github android apps that can be used without logging in? Like, you know, simply reading? #gitlab

How much do you dislike this

@radkolumne.de es gab Heute einer Radiobeitrag, über eine Aktion von eine lokale (adfc?) Gruppe die Menschen aufmerksam macht auf Geisterradelnde. Ich finde aber keinen Text. Wenn ich mich nicht irre war es irgendwo in NRW. Sogar zusammen mit der lokale Polizei. Weißt du mehr?

I learn everyday, some dull, some weird or fun. In Germany they don't have a funeral feast, instead a corpse feast:
Leichenschmaus.

When kids teach you this, it means you're getting old.

What a beautiful moment, when kids can explain what their right for privacy entails.

Next session, I'll explain how they can disable parental control settings on the router.

If you are looking for a teacher in German, I know one. She's awesome. This is what she shared the other day: youtu.be/dFPE-BdQCNc?... "there were 2 friends" in Greek, 100 years Mikis Theodorakis.
Language is more than letters or pronunciation.

Note: she can tell whatever - I'll believe it.

I should have started earlier. 2 weeks ago I asked the city: come back with all the papers, then wait at least 1 year.
Today, for getting all those papers: Bitte beachten Sie, dass...das Bundesamt für Migration und Flüchtlinge gerade mind. 3 Monate in Anspruch nimmt.
