OK, this is genuinely scary. It's a picture of me, aged 5. It was taken in 1960. It was scanned and uploaded to Google Photos in 2002. No one has told Google where it was taken. But the map, bottom right, is correct.

Obviously, in 1960, my father's pre-war Exakta camera did not have GPS. Could you identify, from that picture, exactly where it was taken?

Google can.

A black and white picture of a small, anxious boy with blond hair, sitting on a stony beach. At the top of the beach, on the grass, a line of cars is visible. The picture is on a Google Photos page, and at the bottom right of the page is a map which shows the exact location where the photo was taken -- and it's right.

Yo 2025 kinda sucked ass, both globally and personally.
The world is on fire, people are leaning towards far right, hate is the new norm, I lost my best friend, and I felt defeated multiple times like never before.

My plea for 2026 is to be the positive change I want to see in the world, in whatever form I can manage to be, by pushing ethics and morality into software and products, by loving more openly and fiercely, and by punching Nazis in the face
