ok, i'm just pissed right now and need to vent, sorry about that. :( so, i'm poor. there were months were i had something like 10€ for food. shit times. i got a lot of my food from the dumpsters behind supermarkets. that worked well, even in the worst stages of my social anxiety, because i didn't have to interact with people. also, if you're vegan, that's a good way to get some variety - even when i had some money, i usually couldn't afford the "nice" vegetables. (1/x)

updated this instances /about and /about/more. i guess i wasn't really in a great mood when i wrote the original, parts of it were a bit...uh...aggressive. 😶 also put everything on our gitlab, pull requests welcome: https://gitlab.bau-ha.us/maschinenraum/social.bau-ha.us
(or just let me know directly)

All shitposting aside, not all companies are bad or care about data mining, and some instances are going to end up run by them no matter your feelings on it.

It doesn't matter how much you dislike that because they have that choice, same as you have to block it.
Making out like it's a slimy greedy megacorp here to take over the fediverse after the circs have been explained is an extremely unhelpful bad faith slant on it and it's really disheartening to see it so much today.

I've added "Disco Dingo" as a print to my shop :) https://sylviaritter.bigcartel.com/products ⭐

Anyone on here who can answer a question about #statistics? It's about reporting Chi² data when you have to use Fisher's Exact because of small numbers.

Wie versprochen hier mein neuester Blogpost, der mit dem #MSCamp19 und @LeweMarkus@twitter.com’ dortigem “#bikeFirst” anfängt, aber aus Anlass der erneuten Buspreiserhöhung zeigt, dass in #Münster nach wie vor eher #CarFirst gilt: https://kartoffelsalat.ddns.net/post/parken-bus-wbi/

TIL James B. Conant, a former president of Harvard—worked on poison gas during WWI, oversaw development of nuclear bomb, encouraged Truman to use it...

So um. Wow.

Also while confirming, found this to read later. https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2018/3/22/nuke-scrut/

I knew academia was hugely tied up in military industrial complex but this really is beyond.

the record is "parocktikum - die anderen bands" which is a weird piece of gdr-history. it's a compilation of 80s punk and experimental bands from east germany...published on the state-owned label with approval of the party. they...uh...didn't really like punk rock. like, at all. but at some point they realized that they could use punk rock against the capitalist system, get the counter-culture to align with communism, because we have the same enemies. that didn't really work out. 🙃

I feel so called out by this 😅

Ugh... eventuell muss ich doch mal ein neues Telefon kaufen. Was nimmt man denn für ein erschwingliches Telefon (<200€) das aktuellen LineageOS Support bekommt?

The company I work for has a number of 360° cameras that are used for conference calls. They are supposed to track the position of the person who is speaking and pan the view to show them.

Right now it keeps going back and forth between my boss and an eraser for a white board. As far as I can tell the eraser has nothing to say, but the camera is certain that it does.

Hey Fedi, wir machen dieses Jahr wieder was zur #YurisNight (12.04), Party und etwas Vortragsprogramm. Wir überlegen da vielleicht 2 Tage draus zu machen, weil dieses Jahr auch 20 Jahre #maschinenraum ist und es schön wäre zu feiern. Die letzten größeren Chaos-Events in #Weimar haben unsere Vorgängerinnen 2001 und 2005 veranstaltet, wäre eigtl. schön da anzuknüpfen. Offene Frage ist, ob überhaupt Interesse besteht. Gibt's hier Wesen, die Lust hätten Inhalte beizusteueren oder einfach da zu sein?

Hey Leute im Fediverse, weil ich das in letzter Zeit häufiger sehe eine Bitte: Wenn ihr Posts zu (negativen) politschen Themen, Gewalt, Diskriminierung, Justizskandalen usw. boosten wollt, macht das nicht einfach direkt sondern überlegt euch vorher kurz ob ihr da eine CW dranschreiben würdet wenn es euer Post wäre und wenn die Antwort Ja ist, schreibt nen eigenen Toot mit CW der auf den ursprünglichen verweist anstatt das anderen Leuten ohne CW in die TL zu boosten. Danke.

I'm currently calling in all favors to find a way to get an asthma inhaler in the next few hours. If anyone can help me (one prescription costs $80 for the phone call and $70 per inhaler that I am going through in about a week) either with this immediate need or also with getting my patreon goal met so I am less likely to end up in the hospital again because I can't afford my meds that keep me breathing - please do.

Grundsatz! Plakatieren Verboten! Nachdem ich mit dem #Ordnungsamt der Stadt #Selm telefoniert hatte, war klar daß wir keine #Flyer und keine #Schiffchen an den Laternenmasten ankleben dürfen. Tja, nun sieht es so bei uns aus. Bambus aus Eigenproduktion mit Schiffchen und Flyer. Und heute Abend wird dann weiter gefaltet und getackert #Seebruecke #FreeTheShips #Seenotrettung #Liebe #Leben #FCKAFD #NoNazis #Solidaritaet

So apparently Japanese companies have the role of the "loud American". I could also be the "criticizing German", that should work as well.

Lt. den #RuhrNachrichten aus #Dortmund wird bei der #StadtDortmund ab dem Frühjahr2020 gendergerechte Sprache eingeführt. https://www.ruhrnachrichten.de/nachrichten/dortmund/dortmund-fuehrt-ab-2020-gendergerechte-sprache-in-behoerden-ein-1377039.html

Ich finde das absolut Klasse!

From the keynote of the 22nd European Police Congress:

"I understand why the Darknet can be useful in autocratic systems. But in a free, open democracy, in my opinion, there is no legitimate benefit. If you use the Darknet, you are usually up to no good. This simple realization should also be reflected in our legal system."
