Drawing: Possible causes of your problems. I've been appalled at the scenes we've witnessed over the last few days. It's utterly unacceptable that people should have to live in fear because of the colour of their skin.
[Polite comments only, please.]

Diagram titled 'Possible causes of your problems'. On the left hand side, subtitled 'Yes': Funding removed from local councils, growing gap between rich and poor, multinational companies not paying their taxes, lack of new affordable housing, government not investing sufficiently in schools and healthcare. On the right hand side, subtitled 'No': Picture of small boat, with arrow; 'People fleeing horrific situations that you and I can't imagine'.

Announcing: justaqrcode.com.

Tired of "free" QR code generators that are full of ads and trackers, that share your data, and that want to sell you something? Me too. Here's my act of resistance: I made a one-page site that works entirely in your browser to generate a simple QR code. And that's all it does. You can download the HTML page and run it locally, even. Read the source; nothing up my sleeves. Just a QR code.

My offer to you -- I will continue to pay for the domain name and web hosting for it, myself. If you find it valuable, you can pay it back by creating your own useful thing for the world and releasing it for free. Let's take back the friendly web, one vexingly-monetized utility at a time!

The saying "I am not in a good place" actually refers to that feeling you have when you are in Hagen, Germany. An alleged city that I suspect consists of a terrible train station and some buildings specifically constructed to be as unappealing as possible so nobody ever checks if there is anything else there.

Today I am angry. So many people complain that big companies having to much power, but nobody is willing to change anything about themselves: work in politics, change their buying behavior or at least to refuse their data to those big corporations. (Partly also also angry with earlier versions of myself)

@eliasr @Tutanota @linmob @phosh I think you are missing the point: if you are de-googling, then the focus is on not letting the #bigTech feast on your data.
In general I would like to see more discussion on #MobileLinux here on Mastodon as well.

Programming has made me realize something: I love solving problems, even if it’s a bit far-fetched (lucky for me, I still don’t have baldness). It satisfies me.

Gestern war Auftakt für #PintOfScience in #Duisburg – und direkt ausverkauft! 🧠🍻
Mit spannenden Vorträgen zu künstlichem Sehen, Sternengeburten und schlauer KI ging’s los. Wissenschaft dort, wo man sie nicht erwartet – mitten im Finkenkrug!

Zwei weitere Abende folgen – wir freuen uns!

Wieder ein spannender Abend mit Blicken in Wissenschaftsbereiche, die einem nicht unbedingt nahe liegen.
Dank #minkorrekt im neuen "Wohnzimmer" der Uni in Duisburg.
Übermorgen wieder.

@snowded @nielspflaeging Thanks for your answer. I like Niels ideas in general, as it is always thought provoking and I like thinking (but not very good at just believing). I never looked deeply into #Cynefin, and only rediscovered it while looking into #EstuarineMapping. So now I am interested especially in Mapping, as problem solving often starts with visualization.

@nielspflaeging what do you mean by „value-creation becomes more complex, instead of remaining just complicated“? More n the sense of @snowded and the #cynefin idea or more like the description in #Management3 .0 from #JurgenAppelo ?

Warum (waaaaarum) glauben Menschen, dass es Ok ist, in öffentlichen Räumen wie der Bahn irgendwelche Sprays zu benutzen? Auf dem Bahnsteig, meinetwegen, aber in der Bahn???

Ich finde du hast einen Punkt mit der , bin aber nicht sicher, wie stark dieser Effekt bei populärwissenschaftlichen Inhalten ist (ich denke z.B. an die , oder ).
