Oh no.
I just discovered that my colleagues in fact don't know about the huge "progress" in anti-trans legislation in the UK and how much of this is intentional work of JK Rowling.
Gnaaaaaah.
If they don't know, the regular folks, who are not English-is-easypeasy techies, sure as hell won't know :(.
Wo ich gerade 'nen Tröt bzgl. Barschichten las: Gab es eigentlich 'ne rein alkfreie Bar aufm #39c3?
Die Messehallen haben ja etwa 42 Eingänge. Weiß schon jemand, welcher/welche beim Congress im Einsatz sein werden?
Woohoo, 40c3 Ticket acquired.
Dieses Jahr so früh wie nie und ohne Warten und Bangen. :yayblob:
I'm glad some folks in my timeline are sharing pictures and impressions, though.
I'm suffering!
It's #InnoTrans and I'm no Fachpublikum (and not rich), so I cannot see and experience the new cool trains in person :'(.
Also I will miss the unveiling of the first prototype of #NoxMobility cabins tomorrow. That's not fair.

A friend did not want to leave being informed about the upcoming #Berlin elections in the hands of German native speakers. Thus they translated and published all party programmes.
I hope they reach all communities who could benefit from them.
"If you'd like to learn more about the party platforms for the upcoming Berlin election, here are 8 party programmes available in English for you to look over: https://wahlprogramme-translated.de"
I couldn't spend nearly enough time with everyone, some I didn't even get to talk to.
On the other hand I also spent much time in a super diverse range of activities, from code retreat with coding katas to talking about "how to show up for people".
And now I try to brace myself for the dopamin drop that will happen after after such an amazing, fun, intellectually stimulating and cozy event.
I'm back home from #SoCraTes2026.
Phew, the last 5 days were *intense*.
As usual.
I met so many amazing people, some who feel as if we had been friends for 10 years even though we only met. I also saw dozens of people again who I befriended on SoCraTes or whom I only meet once a year there but miss the whole rest of it.
There were people who were exactly as expected and some whose different personality facets surprised me every time I encountered some.
What an interesting bunch!
Current #SoCraTes mood: looking at my lanyard to remember which pronouns I use.
That feel when an iOS app dev actually cares about writing a proper changelog,
so you're giddily hoping for an update every time you refresh the updates in the app store.
Last year @ #SoCraTes2025 in Soltau, we shared the space with a group of sewists who specialise in quilting. They also presented their in-cre-di-bly stunning work to us. We were thrilled. :yayblob:
I absolutely do not want to start quilting because it's a lot of work for an over-planner like me and also I'd rather improve my clothes-sewing-skills first.
Buuuuut I accidentally (…) searched for "linen quilting" yesterday and now it's everywhere in my head. Aaaaaaah. The aesthetic!!
For some reason I'm under the impression that half of my TL would appreciate this 8-page lesbian-robots-in-space comic. https://zoctopode.tumblr.com/post/818253597925163008/full-lesbian-robot-comic
Ok, the SNORT mascot is super cute.
Trying to follow the course video while the narrator says with a straight face: "Now there are thousands of snort rule files in the snort community."
Tool names... :D
Writing dozens of accessibility-improvement-tickets that are short but also inform the devs as well as non-technical users about what needs to be done and why... is hard.
Writing code is a lot easier tbh.
"Für bestehende Buchung, drücken Sie bitte 1, für Gruppenbuchungen die 9. Für alle anderen Fragen bleiben Sie bitte in der Leitung."
Tja und dann hört man sich ganze 3min lang an, wie toll man ganz viele Themen auch online behandeln kann.. ehe das Band endet und die Verbindung mit dem Hinweis, für alles andere solle man ne E-Mail schreiben, beendet wird.
Ich weiß nicht, ob es für so ein Mist-Pattern einen Namen gibt aber WTF?! Maximale Zeitverschwendung, vielen Dank auch.
Dear timeline, is there a keyword/concept for "connecting devices in my home but NOT connecting them to the internet"?
I'm thinking about use-cases like a dashboard with hygrometer/temperature readings from every room or remote controlling my lights but without connecting said devices to the internet.
Absurdly it seems easy to find IOT solutions and hard to find "local" solutions.
Internationalisierung ist wirklich Hexenwerk...
