Es ist so schwierig geworden, die Idioten von den Bots zu unterscheiden.

Cloudflare sollte kleine Allgemeinwissens-Fragen vorschalten, um wenigstens die Idioten fernzuhalten.

Nein. Lasst den Scheiß einfach, ok? Wir haben schon genug Probleme mit unselbstständigen Studis, wir brauchen nicht mehr Betreuungsarbeit und schlechtere Arbeiten.

Fragt euch mal, was ihr hier propagiert. Egal wie "nuanciert" ihr seid - wenn […]

If I ever teach data science basics to people again, I will introduce data wrangling with web scraped raw HTML. Nothing better to learn the intricacies of string separation, type conversion etc.

At this point I'm convinced that banning colons in scientific works will spark the next big crisis in academia.

Winter in Hannover is "a perfect day for programming". Beats snow, though.

If I see you jamming LLMs into your research projects without reason, I will lose respect for you as a scientist. It tells me the following: you either have no interest of your own, or don't care about valuable insights. Both are reasons to suspect you shouldn't be doing what you're doing.

Stop […]

Alle wollen KI haben. Keiner weiß, was Ki eigentlich ist oder wie es funktioniert. Alle wissen nur: Ohne verlieren wir (auch wenn wir nicht wissen, was genau).

It's amazing how far conservatives are willing to go to fight using free solar and wind energy.

The video is cringe, but the timeline at the bottom is important stuff to tell people who do not yet care about chat control getting yeeted into the void.

Chat Control is back on the menu. To highlight the corruption behind the proposal, Mullvad VPN now presents "And Then?" A film directed by Jonas Åkerlund.

If you have issues updating #fedora KDE from version 42 to 43 because of wine conflicts, I found that just excluding it from the update does the job.
sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=43 -x \\*wine\\*

then of course sudo dnf5 offline reboot to install.

Die Wannseekonferenz. Ansehen. Harter Tobak aber das ist wichtig. Bürokratisierung von Sprache verschleiert Unmenschlichkeit. Passiert heutzutage genauso. Das ist das drastischste Beispiel.

I don't like that people use security as an angle when criticizing the use of AI in KeePassXC. If a project accepts public contributions, this means there will be malicious actors trying to smuggle in code which weakens security. The project must therefore have a solid review process in place to […]

Once you start dabbling with microcontrollers and things like the raspberry pi, you realize how massively overpowered most computers are for their existing, most prevalent use-cases.
