small grammar/rewrite wording issue in the PR section: "I believe for PRs we have better much means to sort out the weed with automatic means, since we have tools, tests and scanners to verify such contributions."
Lets talk batteries for a moment. I kinda like that everything got built-in batteries that can be charged via USB (preferably USB-C) nowadays, but then again, batteries die and most of them cannot be replaced easily. I thus do like to have battery-powered devices with rechargeable batteries that can easily be replaced whenever necessary. However, just a few of the battery types do have rechargeable options. 1/X
I currently require the following kinds of batteries in my flat:
AA, AAA, LR44, 4LR44, CR2032, 9V block, CR2025.
Of those, only AA, AAA and the 9V blocks got rechargeable options. I do get that batteries got different sizes and voltages, depending on what is required, but I feel like we could have been able to just decide on fewer battery types and size options. That is all.
Oh and, just give me replaceable and rechargeable batteries in devices, and I won't have to buy batteries anymore. Thx.
So trying Gemini Cli again since it's been a few months. Seems they are leaning into skills and helpers which could be nice to have. I know others already do this as well. Nice to have easy access to common workflows though.
Another execution of an American citizen. A regime that has no strategy but to lash out. The struggle against Trumpist authoritarianism is only going to get bloodier.
My new piece. And for this one, I allowed myself to write angry:
Alex Pretti was a 37-year-old white man. A U.S. citizen. By those metrics, he was part of the demographic that is least vulnerable to the Trumpist assault. But as long as MAGA is in control of the levers of state power, anyone can quickly become a target.
Here is the clearest encapsulation of Trumpism as a political project: Redraw the lines of who belongs, who is part of the “Volk.” If they decide you are not, you have forfeited not only your rights and protections as a citizen, but also your humanity, your very right to live.
As a default, we should assume the government will keep escalating – not as part of a grand masterplan, but because they have no other strategy and nowhere else to go. MAGA has no coherent idea of how to get from where we are now to consolidated autocracy.
I finally mounted my wireless ZigBee-based IR sender in my livingroom yesterday to send IR commands to TV and soundbar, since my TV is half-smart, as in it can be turned off via ethernet when its on, but it cannot be turned on when its off and needs IR for that (dunno, its weird). Anyway, I was also able to bridge the accessibility gap of the Unfolded Circle Remote 3 with the help of Home Assistant, since the integration can launch every activity on the remote. #smarthome #homeassistant
That gives me a universal remote with activities for everything around the flat, an alexa integration which bridges the touch-screen accessibility gap since I can tell it to turn whichever activity on, physical buttons on the remote mapped to whichever activity is currently running, and some smart automations which e.g. link the on/off state of the soundbar to the state of the TV. Kinda neat. The Remote sometimes seems to lose connection to the WiFi, but an update will hopefully fix that later.
Was kotzen mich meine Berufskollegen regelmäßig an. "Noch nie hat der deutsche Staat so viel #Kindergeld ausgezahlt wie 2025", schreibt Zeit Online über einen Anstieg um 800 Mio. auf 55 Mrd.. Das sind weniger als 1,5% bei einer Inflation von 2,2%, also effektiv ein gesunkener Wert. Einordnung bitte! Als Lautsprecher für interessengeleitete Pressemitteilungen braucht man uns Journalisten wirklich nicht.
