Started using Mastodon/The Fediverse™ on April 6. Less than two months later, Twitter feels like a cheap, ad-ridden cable TV channel.

 

Played around with Mycroft this weekend. Unfortunately, its skill set leaves a lot to be desired for me, and responses are awfully slow. But seems like a good basis. And hey, it's all open source, so nothing to complain about really.

 

You can watch National Bird, a documentary about the US drone murder program, in German cinemas this week: http://nationalbirdfilm.com/

 

Probably the perfect lesson for kids who bought digital pets that can only survive on DRM-protected food: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2017/05/19/second-life-ozimals-pet-rabbits-dying/

 

When I read about Erlang once in a while, I always end up being reminded of this vid, then go watch it and laugh my ass off every single time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yH_j8-VVLo

 

I have a ton of airberlin miles to spend, but it appears upgrading to business class is only possible for like 2 seats per route per month. (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

 

Stumbled upon this quick rundown of Kotlin syntax and features. If I were to code for the JVM, I'd likely use this: https://medium.com/@magnus.chatt/why-you-should-totally-switch-to-kotlin-c7bbde9e10d5

 

Microsoft are calling out spy agencies and governments, in light of WannaCrypt: https://blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-issues/2017/05/14/need-urgent-collective-action-keep-people-safe-...

 

My Saturday so far: writing codes, brewing coffees, taping handlebars.

 

The Dutch gave Mario Draghi a proper and well-deserved grilling, including some banger comments and gifting him a tulip to sum up their feelings about printing 2.5 trillion EUR out of nothing. Too bad this will likely never end up in German and French public media: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-05-11/you-look-remarkably-calm-someone-who-issues-%E2%82%AC25-tri...

1:11 hrs until SegWit activates: http://litecoinblockhalf.com/segwit.php

 

I just arrived at the re:publica party. Ping me if you wanna hang out.

 

A bird shat on my handlebars, and I locked myself out of the flat. But hey, at least the weather sucks, too.

 

Is it weird if I ask this barista for his work hours, because he's consistently playing the weirdest, but best electronic "robot music" I've ever heard?

 

Wow, the Ember.js Berlin meetup is packed! Good to see such increased interest by the German JS community.

 

Looks like Canyon have put a lot of effort into making women-specific road bikes. Even using smaller wheels on some: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U631fSUkmQM

 

Considering Web tech's collective bus factor in Berlin right now. One could call it the nuke factor.

 

Hacking on Kosmos Kredits at Room 77 with the crew. If you're in Berlin and you like red ale, Ethereum, IPFS or Ember.js, feel free to drop by.

 

When you give random people on the U8 some Linux distro tips after overhearing their conversation.
