@movq@www.uninformativ.de Thanks. Unfortunately, the weather stations are quite far away.
I have to operate my own one. :-D
Today I have a day off but Iâm adding this to the list of things I want to read:

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Iâve got the same problem that you had the other day: finding past temperature data. But yeah, it looked much warmer than it actually was. Maybe 5°C? Possibly less when I found myself in the snow- and rainstorm in the end.
With the wind, my fingers were frozen. I should have worn gloves. Without them, I could only put my hands in the pockets of my jacket. That didnât help much, though, because I frequently stopped to take yet another photo, so they cooled off again right away. :-D
Balancing the big/long, closed umbrella under my arm while I had my hands burried was also a little tricky.
First world problems. :-)
@abucci@anthony.buc.ci coined the term âfailsceneâ:
https://buc.ci/abucci/p/1771250567.039684
I wonder about using âfailsceneâ to describe the current slate of AI tools and demos. In contrast with the demoscene, which is about getting very low powered computers to do cool things you wouldnât expect them to be able to do, the failscene is about getting very high powered computers to fail at doing boring things we already know how to do without them. Plus you can stylize it fAIlscene if youâre inclined to.
I love it.

There was an endless coming and going of sun, clouds and rain. Not to forget about the wind. I called it quits a bit earlier and went into the woods.

@kiwu@twtxt.net doing great. Itâs new year! Happy new Year of the Horse to you, and everyone!
There was an endless coming and going of sun, clouds and rain. Not to forget about the wind. I called it quits a bit earlier and went into the woods.
Towards the end I was completeley surrounded by rain curtains in all directions. This looked super cool. I thought I might make it home just in time without having to use my umbrella, but the rain clouds were way quicker than I anticipated. Just after the rain hit me, I met an acquaintance who just started his walk. The wind picked up hard and rain hammered down, mixed with snow. Holding the umbrella was a workout. Shortly after I returned, the rain stopped again.
I didnât notice the kestrel sitting on the tree when I took the last photo. That was a nice surprise when I sorted through the nearly 300 pics.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de There are always some folks who would appreciate that. But I fear they are the minority. The rest just doesnât give a shit.
The selfcontradiction is that those who proudly use and promote AI also claim to be sustainable and green and so on. Iâve no clue how this is not considered fraud, but there we are.

@lyse Nice talk indeed.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Our ads are one of these rubbish ones, unfortunately. They just speak about âan attractive salaryâ. I reckon I will tell my boss about this talk tomorrow (even though I doubt that any of them are from our department).
Iâve got the impression that salary is amongst the most top secret topics in Germany in general. My conspiracy theory is that companies donât put any numbers in job ads because that would just reveal that most employees are underpaid.
Moon DavĂ© doesnât mention #py5 directly but very briefly shows something done with #Processing + #py5 cc @py5coding@py5coding

A mate just recommended this German talk why people don't wanna work at your company: https://media.ccc.de/v/froscon2025-3321-eseskaemwarumguteleutenichtbeieucharbeiten_wollen It's really good. I fully agree with most parts.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Nice talk indeed.
Interesting to see that his ideal job ad talks more about the company than the required qualifications of the candidates. That alone is what 99% of companies get wrong. They just have a long list of âyou must know these 500 thingsâ, yeah, great, goodbye then. đ€·ââïž
Just checked our job ads, some of them actually do list the salary. Iâm surprised. đ€
TIL: If youâre trans in Germany and you want to start hormone therapy, you still need to be officially declared âtransâ first (Indikationsschreiben, page 18: https://www.transinterqueer.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Hormontherapie_DE_barrierearm.pdf) and then you can try to find an actual doctor to get the meds. All with super long waiting lists. This takes forever. đ©
Changing your legal name is surprisingly easy in comparison, at least since 2024: https://www.bmbfsfj.bund.de/bmbfsfj/aktuelles/alle-meldungen/anmeldung-zur-aenderung-des-geschlechtseintrages-jetzt-moeglich-243056 (From my perspective, thatâs the less relevant part, though, because thereâs a good chunk of people that you can just ask to call you differently (friends, cowokers, âŠ) and then do that legal stuff later. But you want your body to change, like, now.)

Okay, so the funniest thing that has happened at work in the realm of AI so far is this:

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org They certainly donât. đ«€
Had an idea earlier: How about going all in on sustainability and saving money/energy, so how about telling your customers âAI is a bad idea $because_long_list_of_reasons, here are our alternatives, youâll thank us in 5 yearsâ? (I bet the customers wouldnât listen either ⊠đ)

@lyse I just watched this. And whilst it's very good and insightful, good history of MySQL and how Martin helped built a good solid Open Source + Commercial model, I'm not seeing the "why people donât wanna work at your company" bit? What am I missing? đ€ In any case, he does talk to great length on the importance of Culture and the insane notion of "centrlaised office working", which I 100% agree with.

@prologic@twtxt.net he didnât. The embedded video show the speaker he was referencing to, on the German video.

@prologic@twtxt.net Sorry if I raised the wrong hope. Only the German talk is about the âwhy good people donât want to work at your companyâ subject. Among the key points are the absolutely terrible job adverts, team leads not themselves looking for people to hire but letting other dudes do that, company cultures and communication.

The speaker referenced https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xmEgtRhw7o (MĂ„rten Mickos: Believe in Something Bigger Than Yourself) which is also very interesting, if you make it through the first bit. He talks about his CEO role at MySQL AB.
