I think it is time to change a thing or two to protect my mental health.

I will stop explaining things or argue with people about stuff that is scientifically proven;
I will stop interacting with people from a center-right to far-right spectrum.
If you feel called out by this - block me.

The little Chaosmonster unlocked a new feature. It's a form of growling that reminds me of a Minecraft baby zombie. Every time.

I am tempted to sit them on one of the neighbors chickens 😂

Ich habe ganz ehrlich den Überblick verloren, wie viele rechte Terrorverdächtige mit Verbindungen zur AfD es gibt, wie viele Verfahren es gegen AfD-Abgeordnete gibt, wie viele Fälle von Vorwürfen von Korruption, Spionage und erst recht, wie viele Lügen diese Partei fabriziert. Und Leute wählen die.

I am so thankful, that we don't have pet names for each other, so the "worst" will be that we are called by our names

I have been describing my current company as a place where we work reasonable hours, the product is profitable, and people are kind to work with, and people keep responding variations of awe and disbelief.

Which says a lot about where the tech industry is right now, I guess :-(

I might be ready for a new camera lens. 16mm prime lens is good (very very good), but Im not getting crispy enough video. Any recommendations?

I also need to redo my office. Not very video friendly and I am going to be doing some more videos soon.

It’s a "crisis" when immigrants "take jobs away", but "innovation" when machines do. Funny.
