My profile picture gallery!

One thing I actually liked about Telegram is it's feature to optionally have somewhat of a history of profile pictures, rather than just one. So while I didn't keep all of them and have some deleted, this is a selection of some of the pfps I've used and grown attached to, even if I don't use them anymore :)

First: A rather badly taken photo with smeared lipstick -- but I like the haircut (it was just fresh) :D

jfc, I'm driving at 30 km/h and car drivers simply overtake me because... I'm a cyclist. It's fuckin 30 km/h speed limit here and you have to accelerate to 40 just to go past me.

And then slow down to sub 30 bcz your fat ass SUV isn't as agile as I'd be so you're even slowing me down. Just because you feel insecure by a cyclist being faster than you.

Oh, and I also accelerate faster to 30 (except if you have an electric car, but those people don't).

Ugh, sometimes I really just want to smash in car windows.

As someone who's experienced dating and "cues" from a male perspective and from a female one, I recently had some insights to straight(!) dating:

  • Most women tend to behave incredibly friendly towards a man they're interested in and by letting their guard down; also showing interest in the other person, going out of their way in trying to find time together. Generally just being a really decent person to people they like (duh).

  • Many men (including me, back then) don't get really understand what big sign of trust this is and also that this may be a cue.

  • Most men tend to be rather awkward around a woman they find interesting. Silently observing and not knowing what they should do with themselves. In order to find time together they even sometimes poke fun at the person in question... . Sometimes they get drunk to gather the courage and behave even more shitty. Basically they just behave like idiots.

  • Many women either don't understand that those men are just awkward little children or don't care for those man babies (who can blame them).

I've been on the receiving end of both and tbqh, I do like it better the way most women try to approach me. Anyway, that's just my random experience, maybe someone else has had similar observations or different?

"Der Kommunismus war Unterdrückung und brutal, siehe Stalin"

Ja. Stalin war ein schrecklicher Diktator. Aber ich finde es absolut beknackt zu denken, dass jeder Kommunismus so daher kommen muss und naiv zu glauben, dass die Demokratie oder der Kapitalismus alle immer Friede Freude Eierkuchen waren.

Robespierre – und trotzdem feiern wir die franz. Revolution.

Afghanistan – fehlgeschlagener Versuch eine Demokratie aufzubauen.

Pinochet – Verteidigung des Kapitalismus.

McCarthy – Ditto.

Die Liste ist doch eher lang. Der Kapitalismus, die Demokratie, ja alle Staats- und Wirtschaftsformen sind schon Mal gescheitert. Bei Kapitalismus+Demokratie haben wir sehr viele Anläufe gebraucht um das hinzubekommen (und jetzt kommt die Klimakrise). Es ist so unfair jetzt den Kommunismus so zu verteufeln wie als hätte man nach der franz. Revolution die Demokratie verteufelt, da das ja eine brutale Schreckensherrschaft war.

Konversation mit der Leiterin eines EDEKAs.

Ich: Haben Sie noch Tofu?

Sie: Ja, hier *zeigt auf Kofu, Kichererbsen "Tofu"

Ich: Naja, das ist ja kein...

Sie: Also der von der Edeka-Marke ist aus.

Ich: Ach, schon wieder?

Sie: Tja, irgendwann muss die Chemie ja hergestellt werden!

Ich: Nunja, das ist ja eigentlich nur Soja...

Sie: Als ob!

gut, so viel dazu. Bin mir ziemlich sicher in meinen selbstgemachten Tofu nicht mehr als Zitronensaft und Soja reingepackt zu haben, aber wer weiß.

Just did some research on light philosophy books to get someone off of the "philosophy" offered by the likes of Richard David Precht ans Jordan Peterson. And I noticed that while I love philosophy, most literature is – of course – mostly considering society as a whole and less focused on self improvement. Even if self improvement is a topic it of course only exists within the context of society.

And indeed most bigger philosophical issues are actually rooted in society (at least in my view). Unfortunately that means that most literature that I'd recommend in that regard, while interesting and inspiring fight against the system ... ultimately isn't that helpful to people struggling to find their place in a system that's fucked up beyond recognition.

So you can either read JP and consider all issues as problems of the individual, or actually fight power struggles but live in existential despair. Which, yes, matches a lot of philosophers.

Maybe we need some self-help books that teach how to be egoistically content with oneself with proper self-care when appropriate without lying about the state of the world as it is. This huge gap needs to be closed, otherwise all activists are just perm burned out (hi, lol!).

Imagined question to a speaker talking about LLMs:

So, in terms of Wittgenstein's concept of every individuals language and the problem of synchronizing meaning between individuals, how would you characterize LLM's grasp of it's human-like text/language without having a grasp of meaning?

Support: Did you check whether the behavior is X and also have you tried doing a or b?

No, WHY THANK YOU FOR TELLING ME I ALMOST FORGOT TO DO THE THING I TOLD YOU I HAVE DONE.

So, anyone here with #Nix and/or #Silverblue + a bit of deeper container/#podman and #namespaces knowledge?

I, again, am thinking about combining Silverblue as my base system with a more complex Nix setup to replace toolbox (which is effectively a separate whole Linux to maintain or throw away regularly, or build a CI for to create new images, etc. -- nah).

Now, Nix works fine, but it needs to store things under /nix because most binaries are prefix dependent and not portable in their location. But what if I download the nix store to $HOME/.nix instead and then launch a light-weight throw-away container/namespace that simply maps $HOME/.nix to /nix but keeps everything else identical?

Would that work? Did someone already build that stuff?

Im Cringe Netzwerk LinkedIn feiern gerade alle die Nf von @ulrichkelber weil sie “pragmatisch Dinge ermöglichen” würde. Geil, was wohl diese “Dinge” sein sollen? Meine Vermutung: Hat nix mit Datenschutz zu tun.
