Ringo Mühlmann ist unzufrieden. Im Thüringer Landtag hat die AfD beim Innenministerium nachgefragt, ob in der Landeshauptstadt Erfurt Räume dauerhaft von Extremist*innen genutzt werden. Und Innenminister Maier (SPD) hat geantwortet: Ja, die AfD-Geschäftsstelle. Tja, Ringo, Eigentor. #fckafd

In hotels I often make up my name, adress and birthdate when they ask for it. Because I don’t trust their IT security.
Some people laugh at me for that - they think it's paranoia. But a few days ago 6 TB of data from the big European hotel chain #MotelOne was leaked by a ransomware group - including millions of customer names and dates. So maybe it’s not paranoia not to give your real data to hotels. (The same counts for online shops, gyms and many other institutions of course)

Having lost my mother recently, and my father some years back, I feel I have kind of lost my childhood too.
I can no longer ask them about things relating to my childhood.
Details of a particular house, or why an uncle did or said something that confused me all my life.
I did at least keep a list of questions to ask her each time I saw her, and wrote her answers down next to them for reference.
I highly recommend asking questions and making notes about them.
When your parents are gone, the answers you never asked for are gone forever too...

I am sending this toot using WiFi from an LTE router running from a 12V battery. Soon there will be detailed build steps on my blog. #offgridpower

The eternal puppy had to go to the vet this week -- I dropped her off in the morning and picked her up in the afternoon. She was a star! The staff said I could bring her back whenever I wanted, and that the pup had gotten lots of belly rubs and pets during the day. Here, she is grazing on the lawn as usual.

I remember the guys who called me a "fag," roughed me up, and spit on me many mornings a week as I walked to high school. Now apparently they have "media outlets."

I just discovered that ISPreview.co.uk has an account here. My main source for UK ISP news: @ispreview

Dear software people,

Unicode is older now than ASCII was when Unicode was introduced. It’s not a weird new fad.

It’s complicated but so is the domain it represents. We recognize that we have to think about time zones and leap days and seconds, for instance. And it’s a cleaner abstraction when you aren’t halfhearted about it.

Sincerely,
Charlie

So, do you understand what a damn adrenaline rush it is to stand in a bay at eleven o'clock at night and photograph in +14° celcius, 20 m/s wind and pitch black when you are afraid of the dark?

In the early morning hours #OTD in 1923, Edwin Hubble took a photo plate of M31 showing a Cepheid variable star.

Using Henrietta Swan Leavitt’s distance-luminosity relationship, Hubble concluded that M31 is located outside the Milky Way.

This observation established that there are other galaxies besides our Milky Way, that our little island is not the whole Universe.

From the Internet (not my words):

The history of Nazis holding rallies in left-wing areas of Weimar Germany, instigating street fights, and then telling the press that only they could save Germany from the "violent communists" seems like an important thing for people to be studying right now.

No, #Google. #AI #enshittification
