I have this lovely view of the full moon from my office this morning. 😍 It’s always a process to get over summer for me, but now I’m ready for some autumn leaves.

@cairobraga Thank you, she’s very happy that people like it :)

I never got into Alicia Keys’ music because I just don’t like 2000s R&B rhythm sections. (I tried again today, but I just can’t.)

But now I discovered «Here» and it’s marvellous! The production is much to my liking and changes everything – I can finally […]

@MichelPatrice Ahh, that would be a good opportunity to self-host indeed! For my account I am too lazy to keep up with the updates, but if it‘s something tiny like this that might indeed be an option.

@MichelPatrice I‘m imagining and it sounds intriguing :) Food for thought!

She’d like to have her own «channel», so I went looking for child-friendly Mastodon or Pixelfed instances. But many of them are 16+ only, which is understandable given the moderation efforts.

Does anyone have a recommendation? She’s 11yo, I would look at the stream with her, and it would […]

The kid and I collected glass shards on the beach and now she made this artwork and asked me to share it. Proud of her!

Schon drei Jahre Petarde … Ich finde, sie ist gut gewachsen und geniesse insbesondere die Editorials immer sehr.

My daughter is going to spend a day with a confectionist to learn about her trade. I asked my kid to ask her about healthy recipes.

Her response: «Oh, I already know what she’s going to say: DO MORE SPORTS!!»

And then she strolled away … 🥁

«Die Plattformen haben die Realität fragmentiert. Was früher in Zeitungen, Radio und Fernsehen noch einigermassen gemeinsam erlebt wurde, zerfällt heute in Millionen und Milliarden personalisierter Feeds. Jeder lebt in seiner eigenen Echokammer, kuratiert vom Algorithmus. Der demokratische […]

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later.

NASA is facing backlash after reportedly being ordered to destroy a fully operational satellite that plays a crucial role in monitoring the Earth’s atmosphere.

Imagine a perfectly good, high-tech spacecraft gathering invaluable data on carbon dioxide

The wine dispenser at our hotel “exploded” tonight, leading to a splattery situation with several servers‘ smokings covered in red.

All I could think about was Jacques Tati and his unique eye for situations. Blessed be he for giving me that gift, so I could relish the situation to the fullest!

Patina.

Ahh better!

@chris__martin As a Palm user I refused to have a phone with T9, but deep inside I was always envious of people texting in their pockets – that was pretty cool.

Dazwischen liegen fünf Wochen. Es gibt einen Grund, warum man sich über deutsche Wirtschaftsredaktionen nur lustig machen kann. Schließlich werden die daraus keine Konsequenzen ziehen oder mal in sich gehen. Einfach den selben Schwachsinn wie immer verbreiten […]

IT is trying to be reassuring, but for a GitLab instance that holds all our code this doesn't sound all too comforting 😆

#tilingtuesday again, huh?
