Notes
This is how I watched the amazing digital circus finale at the cinema. side note: i've never seen an audience this allergic to shutting the fuck up. you're not alone here bro can you whisper your commentary like a normal person thank you. damn.🔗 📍 Erfurt, DEJo
Seeing German articles about how emdash is AI is so funny because uhmmm actually using the '—' in German sentences is incorrect, I think you mean the '–' aka endash or Halbsgeviertstrich 🤓☝️🔗 📍 Erfurt, DEJo

Got a cheap PC online and installed Plan9 (9front). No internet yet (no wifi chip and I don't have a super long LAN cable lying around) so mostly just playing around so far. gemini/gopher and irc would be so good on here
Omg did you hear that AI can write all your HTML for you? You must be unaware. Did you know that writing your own (lame and pointless) front-end code is stupid? Because there's AI. I personally only engage in HASHTAG REAL programming and whenever I see someone typing a line of CSS I tell them the good news that the activity they are engaging in is obsolete. Especially as a conversation opener.🔗 📍 Erfurt, DEJo
it's so fascinating to see leftists and especially communists post on Substack and then when you point it out to them they get soo mad and they say things like "you want to silence me by saying I can't be where the people are" as if it's that hard to not post on Substack. average "there's no ethical consumption under capitalism" leftist when you tell them to literally use anything else. I can't take your politics seriously if you can't even do the bare minimum of not posting on X or Substack⁉️🔗 📍 Erfurt, DEJo
Captain Pike Star Trek Strange New Worlds could literally turn to the camera and say 'Fuck your stupid gay Star Trek ideals' and people would still call it the best modern Trek show🔗 📍 Erfurt, DEJo
Forgot a USB stick in my pants before washing them again. Literally every time this has happened to me so far the USB has been fine. At most corrupted the file structure in a recoverable way. Wth🔗 📍 Erfurt, DEJo
I miss when online articles were called stuff like "10 reasons you're wiping your ass incorrectly" and not "You should make AI fuck your wife and go to your sons graduation ceremony for you"🔗 📍 Erfurt, DEJo
🔗 📍 Erfurt, DEJoWas out with a friend and had to screw open a bottle for her because she was scared the lid would tear a hole into her latex gloves so I said "Are people in gimp suits bourgeois?"
…this is what I meant by 'Disco Elysium has had a catastrophic effect on the way I speak' (here).
Playing around with an idea for, like, a mascot:🔗 📍 Erfurt, DEJo
"Why is it wearing a space helmet" I like space+scifi.
was out in my denim jacket w the patches and my debian/lesbian pun tshirt and a lady upon seeing me aggressively took her daughters hand and shielded her from me. forgot homophobia existed for a minute so i was like what's that about🔗 📍 Erfurt, DEJo
They updated the Android app I use to ssh into the server and now the enter key on my phone keyboard isn't really enter anymore and instead justifies text in nano (looking that up rq, that means it's... Ctrl+J?? something more is going on here). This makes it kind of unusable so I gotta find a new one. Too bad bc this was one of the only ones hat wasn't overengineered for no reason and had a simple UI. sigh🔗 📍 Erfurt, DEJo
one of my most pressing / annoying changes I gotta do to the website is to change the setup of the hamburger menu. rn it's two links and I shoupd just make it a checkbox. still no javaacript ofc. but like it's so annoying when you click on the hamburger and it brings you back to the top of the page :/🔗 📍 Erfurt, DEJo
How come I search for "very small linux, no GUI" and all the AI riddled blog posts show me lists with distros that clearly show their GUI🔗 📍 Erfurt, DEJo
RSVP maybe to
Probably going to go! Likely won't get a hotel so can't hang out long in the evening :<🔗 📍 London, GB Jo
Script got me as being in Frankfurt again bc I was in the DB Wifi. I'm almost home actually🔗 📍 Berlin, DEJo
The increase in policing artistic nudity for the last 10+ years is sort of kind of ridiculous. As if you could go outside in Europe without seeing a fountain of a naked lady spraying water out of her nipples in every major city. Okay in the real world but sacrilege online?🔗 📍 Erfurt, DEJo
it's so baffling to me when people who know me irl think I'm straight. yes, bla bla stereotypes, but really, what about the everything didn't give it away?🔗 📍 Erfurt, DEJo
I should be walking around at all times with a big big sign that says "Blinker!" to remind people to use their damn turn signal; since, contrary to popular belief amongst car drivers, pedestrians actually benefit from knowing where tf you are going🔗 📍 Erfurt, DEJo
People who hate Disco Elysium either:🔗 📍 Erfurt, DEJo
- Don't like the kind of game it is, just mechanic wise (ig that's fair. not everyone's cup of tea)
- are salty that it called them a fascist for playing the fascist options
- Can't fathom or handle that you're not playing the game as yourself; you're playing as an alcoholic cop; and everyone in-universe is going to treat you like you're an asshole because you are a cop. It's not possible the play the game as anything else bro
I was talking with someone the other day about how recycling ideas is so big right now—live action remakes, books for movies that are based on books from the last century—and we kinda got to the conclusion that AI generation is just another symptom of this need to fall back on old stories and refusing to invest in new talent because it is riskier than just shoving money into something that has worked and gotten a lot of money before. So yeah, AI generated ideas will keep immitating eachother into garbled nothingness, but for a lot of people with the money in their hands this is just the philosophy they're into anyways🔗 📍 Erfurt, DEJo
i'm gonna be so real I don't really give a fuck about speedrunning itself but I love when people do whole mathematical proofs just to shave a millisecond off their speedrun. that's the only part that I care about🔗 📍 Erfurt, DEJo
Do we think Xena Warrior Princess can fix the year 2038 problem for us, just like she canonically saved us from Y2K?🔗 📍 Erfurt, DEJo
people who call text adventure games 'video games' probably also call their favourite novel a photo album🔗 📍 Erfurt, DEJo
ppl I know love 'noticing' how there's always a gay character in shows and making fun of how pointless that is to the point that they can't even engage with how it might at times be pretty relevant to the plot and the themes of the show actually🔗 📍 Erfurt, DEJo
I hate when people say 'Trump is so stupid' or variations thereof. Being stupid is not a moral failing and it's not his moral failing either. Donald Trump is an evil and entirely self absorbed man. It's like when people say he is ugly. Sure, but that's not a moral failing. Stop trying to find his errors in conventionally demonized traits that have nothing to do with anything. Donald Trump is an asshole, a rapist, a murderer etc pp. There's plenty of actually bad things to hate him for.🔗 📍 Erfurt, DEJo
I've always found it so strange when people state on their websites that their opinions don't reflect the opinions of their employer. Who automatically assumes they do? Is this actually legally necessary? Just in case anyone was worried about it, I'd like to clearly state that my opinions are my own and in no way represent the opinions of the president of Venezuela!🔗 📍 Erfurt, DEJo
Like of ArtLung: 25 years of ArtLung Blog ~ 19 Feb 2026
Wow! Congrats on 25 years!1! It must be so strange to have a public archive on yourself and all the people you've been over that time frame. But also nice, especially with all the cool stuff that happened. The Bones thing is soo funny🔗 📍 Erfurt, DE Jo
oh no i forgot to make a valentines day graphic for my new layout. i will fix this post haste🔗 📍 Erfurt, DEJo
i dreamt that i had to do a presentation on the sunflower and i needed to have a din a3 poster for it and that i was completely unprepared. and my poster was the word 'sunflower' with a huge photo of a sunflower cut out and glued onto a yellow a3 sheet. i have an exam today ig my brain made sense of it like that🔗 📍 Erfurt, DEJo
the thing about the movie 'girl with hyacinths' (1950) is that to the modern viewer it gets obvious pretty quickly that she is gay (bi) and so you think 'okay sure she killed herself because shes gay. wow' and then by the end of the movie its like no actually. she killed herself because she was clinging to the memory of the woman she loved but couldn't be with as a last staple of hope in a world that kept disappointing her and when she meets that woman again and it turns out that she was a nazi collaborator it's the last straw for her because in that moment she is utterly convinced that there in no good left in the world. actually.🔗 📍 Erfurt, DEJo
going through some books I read / am reading and putting in sticky notes for a potential future blog post or similar and man. I sure love marking and annotating books while I'm reading them. Example:🔗 📍 Erfurt, DEJo
📍 Erfurt, DEJoA friend of mine asked if John Money is, like, the inventor of currency (funny) and I was like no he's the inventor of dangerous plastic surgery for babies and they were like oh.
something wrong with my blog SSG it kinda only puts half of the posts in the tag pages and some tag pages straight up don't get generated at all. but i don't have time for that rn📍 Erfurt, DEJo
Every time someone says Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is their fav new Trek show I wanna either hold them gently in my arms and tell them they deserve better or just say 'Ew.' But what I usually do is say nothing📍 Erfurt, DEJo
2026 is the year of unapologetic self serving cringe📍 Erfurt, DEJo
