@bahn.de Ihr solltet den Begriff "aktuelle Verkehrslage" nochmal überdenken. 😂

@bahn.de ich mag euch ja echt, aber warum? An zwei Bahnsteigen in Stuttgart stehen ICEs nach München. Einer pünktlich, der andere verspätet. Man könnte jetzt den pünktlichen pünktlich losschicken, aber nein, man setzt den verspäteten davor, jetzt sind beide verspätet. So ein Quatsch.

@bahn.de Wo ist denn der Direktzug zwischen Bruchsal und Ulm hin? Laut Eurer Karte sind da keine Baustellen ...

I think we should bring rss feeds back. Or whatever the modern equivalent would be.

Everyone has control over their content. Everyone has control over their fyp.

Can't be that hard.

Because algorithms usually suck and content moderation can be bought, aiding censorship and manipulation.

In Philip K. Dick's "Zap Gun" (1964), wherein governments have decided to make up weapons to keep the population quiet, he introduces a nice little gadget that is basically an Alexa with Chat GPT.

"It can't invent, it can only select."

Alt-text question:

Posting different images daily and repeatedly on different platforms requires a database of alt-text for all images.

Which method do you use?
What tools are there?

(Search engines are useless on this topic.)

Topoc: Alt text and accessibility

"full moon in the fog over a lake" might be considered a sufficient description.

But I feel I should add something like:

"Very blurry and grainy image, as if taken with a cheap camera in the eighties. Gloomy, but in a comforting way."

Any thoughts?

The first time I went to Burning Man in 2007, it changed me for the better. The first time I brought my kid at 7 in 2017, it forged a special bond that can't be broken. After this year, my ninth, their fourth, I am, again, a better person than before.

Dear authors,

not all questions need to be answered, not all conflicts need to be resolved, not every event needs to be explained.

It's ok to leave readers befuddled about certain things in your story.

Thanks, bye.

My left arm is shaking so badly from pretty much carrying a drunk guy home.

Lesson learned: never trust a drunk czech guy called Martin when he tells you how far it is to his home.

My current strategy for bluesky is

1) to mute words and block accounts from the discovery feed every time I am on here.

2) find at least one post to like

3) leave at least one positive comment

4) follow someone if there is still time.

I would like to build a new life.

Like we did when we were young.
When we discovered things by chance. Things that were not necessarily new, but completely new to us.

I lost a lot of the interests I had as a young person.

How do I fill the void?
How do I build a new life?
