I would be happier about parcel delivery companies if they'd simply stop making up a delivery estimate beyond the date.
Let the driver use their local knowledge to plan the route.
Is my parcel coming on Saturday? — Fine, I'll stay home until the postie arrives.
Did you tell me they'd arrive between 11:37 and 12:43 and it's 13:30 at this point in time, with the live tracking disabled? — That annoys me to no end.
The latest Terrible Toybox contractor agreement has a 218 word section about how you can't use AI and it was written by a real life human lawyer, so you know I'm serious. AI is a cancer to the creative process and I do consider programing to be a creative process.
The new social reform omnibus from the German government proves once and again that I have a more stable income, have more rights and get more respect as a contractor working exclusively for companies outside of Germany than I ever have and ever will as a salaried employee in this country.
We're lacking housing for actual people to live in in this city and the space is taken up by retail and office space.
I don't even know what Galeria-Karstadt even contributes to the local economy at this point.
If you don't really have any customers on a 1000 sqm floor besides a couple of elderly people, a computer programmer and a senior planetary scientist and you try to chase off the planetary scientist, then your business deserves death.
People wonder why brick and mortar retail is dying and all I can say is I spent a good 2-3 hours in a department store with the spouse today, trying to pick up some bras at the summer sale.
There were like 4-5 people on the entire floor and 3 staff members.
The staff kept nagging at us the whole time despite "no, I don''t need your help", which is unusual for Germany.
The theft accusations at the fitting rooms took the cake though.
And this is why I buy my clothes online.
It became slightly windy and all my Deutsche Post and DHL deliveries have gotten delayed.
My new laptop battery hasn't been scanned since Thursday, deep down in Baden-Württemberg but the online tracking still says that it's arriving today.
I have my doubts.
There's a slight breeze outside and all my parcel deliveries are delayed until Monday.
I'm pretty sure I used to drive my mail van in exponentially worse weathers than this.
Today, youtuber dzuma made a video about my age verification bypass browser extension.
And since then, I've got a nonstop influx of people downloading the add-on, and it became the mosr starred one on my GitHub in just a matter of hours!
So, thanks a lot!! Glad I'm not the only one who's annoyed by this!

It's official.
After my three-in-a-row successfully Kickstarter funded and backer fulfilled campaigns for Ultimate Cybersecurity Careers Guide, Digital Safety in a Dangerous World, and Technofascism Survival Guide (100% fulfilled on July 1st)...
Kickstarter approved my campaign for my fourth self published book...
Recovering After Gen AI.
Campaign will launch on ▶️ Monday, July 6th.
⭐ Visit my campaign page to sign up for notifications. No obligation to pledge.
Gen AI will END because:
- Datacenters cannot be sustained due to laws of physics (Harvard Science Review linked on campaign page)
- Financial bubble will burst, @davidgerard estimates 2027. Economists I cite say "soon."
What do we do about:
- Population wide psychosis and cognitive atrophy?
- Environmental nightmare: droughts and heatwaves?
- Damaged power grid?
- Most popular software inoperable or buggy as hell through massive AI slop tech debt?
- An entire generation of youth without jobs?
- Seniors retiring without juniors to promote?
- Immense skills loss in the workforce?
I will interview psychologists, economists, engineers, psychiatrists, technicians, and environmentalists for their insights.
🗓️ Campaign launch, Monday July 6th.
🗓️ Estimated October 2026 publication.
Share! 🎉🎉

Discovering new Linux distros is sorta like getting into a black metal or satanic folk metal act because it takes a while to see if its run by literal neonazis before you get into it properly.
Is Lunduke still working for SUSE?
Hey kids. What Linux distro should I use?
Which distros let me install most or almost all packages with apt or yum and have as little Canonical nonsense like Flatpack as possible?
Is LinkedIn induced dementia a thing?
Zalando: The majority of our turnover is via our mobile app.
Me: Maybe it's because your website is dead slow?
Zalando: As we were saying...
It seems to be my ThinkPad's 7th anniversary today. The 3rd battery replacement and an auxiliary SSD is already in the mail.
I read a recommendation for a Thai restaurant in Geneva as ‘having a better handle on spice level (compared to this other place)’ so I’m going to go to ‘this other place’
PHP is dead and 2026 is the Year of the Linux Desktop.
