Ich bestelle meine deutsprachigen Buecher über Geniallokal bei einer kleinen unabhängigen Buchhandlung, die mir ein Kollege empfohlen hat.

Aus Gründen, hätte ich gerne eine zweite Alternative in Ostdeutschland. Habt ihr Empfehlungen fur eure (d.h. eine, die ihr kennt und mögt - gerne erklären warum ihr die mögt!) kleine lokale Buchhandlung mit Online-Bestellmöglichkeiten, die *nicht* Vorkasse oder paypal sind? Rechnung, Lastschrifteinzug, Kreditkarte, alle gehen.

Gerne boosten!

Man kann dort Initiativen vorschlagen, die Spenden erhalten, da könnte man auch auf welche aus den neuen Bundedländern aufemerksam machen 😉



Anyone interested in joining a GNOME 47 release party in the next week or two? It'll likely be in Manchester, and may just be an excuse to go to the pub.

No tenía ni idea de que el horario tuviera un impacto significativo en el rendimiento.

Tak jak na tom jste? Tady zatím klid. Půda všechno stíhá, žádnou velkou řeku tu nemáme. Riziko přívalových povodní bych si dovolil vyloučit.

Člověk se musí umět radovat z malých radostí, přeci jenom jsme tady jen chvíli. Dneska jsem měl radost, že jsem ve vajíčku ke snídani našel dva žloutky. :flan_XD:



Jak jste na tom s vodou? U nás právě vyhlásili evakuaci Barvínkova, to je taková zahradní kolonie obklopená z obou stran řekami. Z jedné strany Otava a z druhé Volyňka a ta asi bude už brzy přetékat z koryta. Zrovna jedu kámošovi pomoct odvozit nějaké věci ze zahrady kam chodíme udit. 😥 #zasrano #velkavoda

U nás v pohodě, tak držím palce, ať vše u vás dobře dopadne.

#China will gradually extend the #retirement age for all men from 60 to 63, for women in white-collar jobs from 55 to 58, and for women in blue-collar work from 50 to 55.

Wrong direction, but damn, I wish we had those retirement ages here.

Mooooooornings.



Rád bych připomněl, že dnešní srážky jsou přímým důsledkem globálního oteplování.

Ve vzduchu by nebylo tolik vody
kdyby se neodpařila ze Středozemního moře
které bylo letos extrémně teplé
v důsledku globálního oteplování
které je způsobeno činností člověka - pálením fosilních paliv A mimovolním vypouštěním metanu.

Jasně, však lidi se přizpůsobí. Ale je velká otázka, jestli vyjde levněji stavět povodňové hráze nebo přejít na co nejčistší získávání energie.



I just saw the first episode of Moonlighting (old tv show, which I've never seen), and wow, that was an extraordinary amount of chemistry for a pilot.

And Bruce Willis with hair. :)

Oh look freeze when running a bit too many things. Again.


I've been feeling really jaded about tech today. Are there positive tech things you have seen that you're excited about? burgeoning non ai technologies that seem promising, or projects that are interesting that you heard about recently? is there any research in computer science that is exciting to you?

So... people are bending over backwards to make it known that they absolutely despise a technology that spits out believable statements that may require a bit of fact-checking before taken as fact. I happen to know of a certain politician, I won't name names, that seems to be displaying a very similar way of working. Something something Springfield. Do we measure those with the same measurements? Like, say, if a country were to be considering implementing this politician in its new version do we get very angry? :) #snark

Name any other 33yr old computer that has a graphical (of sorts) mastodon client that actually works today - Only Amiga makes it possible #retrocomputing - posted with Amidon.


So somehow I ended up in a situation where I will soon have a full pour over set-up composed of exclusively Hario products. The only non-hario component will be my kitchen scale because there's very little point in getting a dedicated coffee scale when you really don't ever need more than 1 gram of accuracy. It's silly how quickly I went from "I just make coffee in the most convenient way to get some flavor and caffeine" to "I weigh my beans, grind them with a Skerton, put them in a V60 and pour water from a pouring kettle utilizing proper pouring techniques". To be fair this has been very fun and quite in line with everything I've been into recently so I don't think it's a bad thing, just wasn't expecting myself to dive in so deep so fast.

can you recommend primary &/ secondary lit./sources relevant to social history of travel from the middle ages up to midcentury?

any geography, but w/ a preference for western asia--eastern mediterranean

I wish #Mastodon had the ability to bookmark users who you frequently scroll the timelines of.

Just had to explain to an 84yo with congestive heart failure that "the cold that everyone has" is likely not a cold. And tell them that if they have any trouble breathing to call 911 immediately.

They all but dismissed me when I told them the covid hazard index here is 1 in 26.

I recently witnessed, through a social media platform, someone get very sick, land in an ER with pneumonia, and wonder aloud what the "bug" is that's giving so many people they know pneumonia.

I can't anymore, friends. It's impossible.

I continue to wear a mask and generally stay at home, in spite of how the isolation impacts my mental health.

I don't just do it for me (I have Epstein-Barr virus floating dormant in my bloodstream and I'm self-employed).

Wearing a mask is community care.

Staying informed is community care.

Our collective governments have failed us. So we have to do it ourselves.





#KonstruktiveIdeen zur #Migration
Ich stelle mir folgenden Umgang vor:
Migranten werden an der Grenze empfangen und willkommen geheißen. Ein Team aus Dolmetschern, Psychologen, Arbeitsberatern und so setzt sich mit ihnen zusammen und fragt:
- welche Fähigkeiten und Interessen sie haben
- welche Träume sie verfolgen
- wo sie vielleicht schon Freunde/Bekannte/Verwandte haben.

Dann wird geschaut, wo in der passenden Gegend 1/x



AirPods Pro being used as hearing aids is yet there example of how mainstream tech can replace specialized tech. The difference is that iPhones have done this for the blind for nearly 14 years now.


A french band™ is playing a concert in the sold-out British Royal Albert Hall and you can watch the recording of it on a German/French public TV station. Amongst all this border-closing nonsense let's not forget what incredible achievements in the greater historical context of Europe's past we've grown to take for granted.
