Das muss man sich mal geben. An allen Ecken und Enden wird privatisiert, inkl. Infrastruktur. Privatisierung heißt oft auch Profitmaximierung, denn Redundanz kostet.
Welch Chuzpe, dass ausgerechnet die Frau des ehemaligen Finanzministers (FDP) der Stadt Berlin die Schuld gibt. 🙄

As my #blog got de-indexed by #Google, I created an extensive write-up of what I did to get back into the index!
It's full of typical information, and I think it's an interesting story, too.
Let me know what you think!

Well, I learned a lot about the semantic web in the last three days. A lot about identity, how links work (for SEO) and how important domain entry pages are.
Let's see if I can get re-indexed any time soon. 🙈
Please, Google! 🙏🏻

Thanks to great input by @bmarwell.de, verified bluesky now also supports Apache Foundation Member verification 🥳 Thanks a lot!
With the same update, I have also removed support for conference verification as there was very limited demand by organizers and speakers

I asked @github.com copilot to fix a feature of my #jfmt CLIBtool ( #java formatter). Turns out, if you're willing to invest some time, give a lots of detailed instructions, and give reviews, it turns out well.
Alas, coding took 40 minutes or so, I might have been faster. 😅
Still, impressive!

TIL: In #Java, List.subList() and List.reversed() are implemented smartly. You may call these methods as many times as you want and in any order, but you don't get a long chain of references which leads to StackOverflowError. The longest chain of views is two: reversed -> subList -> original list.

#ThrowbackThursday Can't believe it's already been two weeks since I was on stage with @bmarwell.de at @javazone.bsky.social. We've discussed a structural approach to speeding up your #Maven builds. Missed it? See vimeo.com/1115842570.
