Jede sechste Stimme aus Deutschland in der EU Parlamentswahl ging an eine Partei, die Menschen wie mich (EU-Bürger) am liebsten aus Deutschland vertreiben würde. Das macht was mit mir. Aber um mich herum nur Schulterzucken und "man muss die ernst nehmen und nicht verbieten wollen". Ich hänge dann mal die Antifa Fahne an meinem Balkon.

Deutschland wählt hauptsächlich CDU und AfD ins Europaparlament. Da sind die Antifaschisten wohl nicht zur Wahlurne gegangen. Peinlich.

#BlackmagicDesign just dropped a major update for the #Atem mini pro/extreme series that adds SRT support, gives you multiview and more via USB-C, adds support for network drives as recording target and a lot more. It’s truly magic. Video with explanations at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aK4S4wrmhF4

On my way to #VoteForEurope and to #VoteAgainstFascism.

I am biased. But. My gut feeling is that the EU is moving towards becoming a superpower, unwillingly and unknowingly. The US is on a road towards unreliable chaos. China is focusing on economic power to the outside world. Russia is a small power with irrelevant GDP. Africa and South America is un-united but waiting. Will we be able to accept our role? #GoodNight

If you run a startup and you use The Cloud, make sure to add your cloud provider(s) to the VIP list in your email client to make sure you don't miss them informing you that you are exceeding your traffic/compute limits. #Subtoot Explosive growth comes at a price :(

A week of a lot of work comes to an end. But I am pleased with the results. On many levels. On social networks we often automagically post the negative things but we should also share the good moments. With that in mind: I am in a good mood because I managed to get good outcomes on many levels. Hard work paid off. Not just for me, but also for many other people. Yay!

On Sunday I will vote in #EUParl2024 election. As a Dutch person. In #Munich. Registered in the German voters registry, so I can vote for candidates from the German lists. Who can also be EU citizens that live in Germany. I could’ve been a candidate myself without being of German nationality. #ThanksEU

Quite the day. Full day workshop at the office where I was mentor, cameraman, photographer, audio mixer. Put some colleagues in front of the big camera and big lights, so they could experience that for the first time. Partial power outage caused by a Tesla pulling too much power, knocking out the power line to the network infrastructure. Fixed that. Rushed to the station to catch the train to Frankfurt, where I just checked in to the hotel. This one is well deserved, IMHO :) #LifeAtRedHat

Hat Dr. Söder schon erklärt, wie die Grünen durch das Abschalten von Isar 2 die Flut in Bayern verursacht haben? #Sarcasm

The problem isn't #Trump still being a candidate. The problem is that the USA limits the rights of convicted felons in many ways but leaves a gaping hole when it comes to being a presidential candidate. IMHO.

#Mexico has voted for a new president who was an energy and climate scientist before going into politics. And she's the first female president. Congratulations, president-elect Claudia Sheinbaum!

Yay! Managed to get #forgejo runner working with #podman on my #RHEL9 server! Ran my first action, so I now have my little CI/CD working :) Big thanks to https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/ne0l/forgejo/ for making it easy to setup.

FTR. "AI" isn't just LLMs. Besides generative "AI" we also have iterative "AI" and classic Machine Learning. The latter two are well established and useful tools, IMHO. Throwing them all under the generic "AI" umbrella term doesn't do them justice.

Der stellvertretende Ministerpräsident von Bayern, Hubert #Aiwanger, hatte gestern anscheinend Wichtigeres zu tun als sich um das Hochwasser in seinem Land zu kümmern. Auf die CSU schimpfen und für Brennholz und Verbrennermotoren kämpfen. https://www.br.de/nachrichten/bayern/freie-waehler-parteitag-aiwanger-nennt-csu-weber-totalausfall,UEQQrW9

Wo ist #Aiwanger? Seine Weigerung in den #Hochwasserschutz in #Bayern zu investieren, ja sogar geplante Maßnahmen zu stoppen sollte eigentlich ganz oben auf der Tagesordnung stehen. Oder schiebt er schon wieder den Grünen die Schuld zu?

jwildeboer, 9 days ago (edited 7 days ago) to random German

In #Bayern haben wir ja auch so ne komische #AI, die Sätze ausspuckt die irgendwie normal klingen, aber bei näherer Betrachtung ziemlich unsinnig sind. Ja, ich rede von AI-wanger. #Sarcasm

It is that time of the year where I promote the 42/C4 concept again. It's the result of many years of working with #OpenSource projects and leadership/ego problems. It defines a better way to organise, where ego is removed and code becomes iteratively better and better, in unexpected ways. It was written by a friend of mine who has left us years ago.

The hardest thing on social networks (for mostly men) seems to be to not make everything about you.

I see so many replies under my toots by people who want to derail the topic to something that is about them. I call that #ThreadJacking and I kindly ask you to not do that.

The NY case against #Trump was often described by the media as the “runt of the litter” compared to the other 3 cases. Well. It’s the only case with a conviction now. And the decision by the jury leaves zero doubt. Guilty on all charges. I tip my hat to the prosecutors for building a solid case and seeing it through. I tip my hat to Stormy Daniels for taking the stand and refusing to be intimidated. To Michael Cohen. And to the judge for staying laser focused on keeping the schedule.

Maybe #AMZN #Amazon as the big supporter of #OpenSource they always claim to be could donate traffic to the #Fedora project in a better way? By putting up some mirrors of their own? It would be greatly appreciated! #JustSayin https://www.phoronix.com/news/AWS-Cloud-Breaks-Fedora-Mirrors

UPDATE: Amazon engineering is looking at identifying the root cause for this traffic spike and at finding ways to solve it.

Introducing Moore’s inverse law of “AI”. Every 12 months the energy, transistors and time needed to reach a certain quality level of generative AI models gets reduced by 75%. #SarcasmButOnlyHalf
