Das Bild einer Entfremdung: Die Stipendiaten der Deutschlandstiftung Integration verlassen bei der Rede des Bundeskanzlers den Saal.
Viele wollen es nicht verstehen oder wahr haben, aber die Äußerungen des Kanzlers haben enorme Kränkungen verursacht.

The Wayback Machine, openlibrary.org, and some other archive.org functions are offline because some network gear has failed.

We apologize and are working on it. More as it happens.

But for now, a silver lining: it took many years and billions of dollars, but Microsoft finally invented a calculator that’s wrong sometimes and can install malware on our computers.

Ironically not a great photo, but the exhibit ended and these three prints are looking for new homes (or a new home). 50 CHF each. Any takers? If interested, I'm happy to take a better picture... #underwater #scuba #unterwasser #tauchen #photography

New on the blog: I learned that Node.js includes a native method for marking other methods as deprecated. 🎉

import { deprecate } from "node:util"; /** * Returns a string value. * @deprecated This function is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. * @returns {string} The string 'something' */ export const getSomething = deprecate(() => { return 'something' }, 'watch out! something is deprecated!')

Die ständigen Spar- und Kürzungsdebatten führen wir übrigens nur, weil sich unsere Regierung weigert, fossile Subventionen abzubauen, Finanzkriminalität konsequent zu bekämpfen und Steuerprivilegien für Superreiche abzuschaffen. Das kann man nicht oft genug wiederholen.

Bitte macht Nothelfer-/Erste-Hilfe-/Basic Life support Kurse! Ihr könnt damit Leben retten!

Wem ein Tag / Nachmittag zu viel ist - es gibt inzwischen vom SRC einen BLSquick Kurs - nich so gut wie ein regulären Kurs aber besser als gar nichts.

Jetzt gucken, los:

this goes right along with my theory that the AI obsession in *users* is often bc…

1. they were never educated (esp "ipad generation") & don't know how computers work

2. our tools and services are all SO AWFUL NOW, degraded at best, actively user-hostile at worst
Mariya Delano @mariyadelano@hachyderm.io I've been testing a theory: many people who are high on #AI and #LLMs are just new to automation and don't realize you can automate processes with simple programming, if/then conditions, and API calls with zero Al involved. So far it's been working! Whenever I've been asked to make an Al flow or find a way to implement Al in our work with a client, I've returned back with an automation flow that uses 0 Al. Things like "when a new document is added here, add a link to it in this spreadsheet and then create a task in our project management software assigned to X with label Y". And the people who were frothing at the mouth at how I must change my mind on Al have (so far) all responded with resounding enthusiasm and excitement. They think it's the same thing. They just don't understand how much automation is possible without any generative tools. Nov 14, 2025 at 08:29 AM • 830 boosts • 9 quotes • 1.2K favorites

Before I left Marblehead Light, I caught this shot with clouds to one side and aurora to the other. Not the best shot of the aurora but I think it's my favorite of the night.
