Die Freiheit des Menschen liegt nicht darin, daß er tun kann, was er will, sondern daß er nicht tun muß, was er nicht will. -Jean-Jacques Rousseau-

@Bundeskanz50246 Als Alltagsradler verstehe ich nicht, warum nicht einfach Holländer gefragt werden... es könnte alles so einfach sein.

Sachen gibt’s 🙄 Kreisverkehr für Radfahrer in Tübingen. Kann mir bitte jemand nur halbwegs plausibel erklären, was das soll?

@TheProjectUnity Dude... bring it!

@BrianRoemmele If only this could be made in late 90s fashion without ruining it.

AI can be a canvas for movie ideas. Sometimes just a sketch for what could be. And may become.

Das ist das weltberühmte Gemälde von Jean-Lèon Gérôme "Die Wahrheit kommt aus dem Brunnen" von 1896. Und das ist die Geschichte dazu: Die Wahrheit und die Lüge treffen sich eines Tages. Die Lüge sagt zur Wahrheit: "Heute ist ein wunderbarer Tag"! Die Wahrheit blickt in den Himmel und seufzt, denn der Tag war wirklich schön. Sie verbringen viel Zeit miteinander und kommen schließlich neben einem Brunnen an. Die Lüge erzählt der Wahrheit: "Das Wasser ist sehr schön, lass uns zusammen baden!" Die Wahrheit, erneut skeptisch, testet das Wasser und entdeckt, dass es wirklich sehr nett ist. Sie ziehen sich aus und beginnen zu baden. Plötzlich kommt die Lüge aus dem Wasser, zieht die Kleider der Wahrheit an und rennt davon. Die wütende Wahrheit kommt aus dem Brunnen und rennt überall hin, um die Lüge zu finden und ihre Kleidung zurückzubekommen. Die Welt, die die Wahrheit nackt sieht, wendet ihren Blick mit Verachtung und Wut ab. Die arme Wahrheit kehrt zum Brunnen zurück und verschwindet für immer und versteckt darin ihre Scham. Seither reist die Lüge um die Welt, verkleidet als die Wahrheit, befriedigt die Bedürfnisse der Gesellschaft, denn die Welt hat auf keinen Fall den Wunsch, die nackte Wahrheit zu sehen.

@TheProjectUnity 😂 I don't mean it, but this idea came to me; what if the guy on the right was the model for Indiana Jones, actually found mindblowing stuff but isn't allowed to talk about it? ps: Why not a trio with heartwarming Dibbly Doo???

When you hit a high enough level of shilling for the system, you get the hat.

@AJamesMcCarthy There's potential; Find the people on the plane. Had I've been on that specific plane, I would be really excited to get that picture on my wall.

Thanks to the power of the internet, I’ve been put in contact with the crew. Thanks everyone! 🫡

@BrianRoemmele The cigar moves are impressive, too.

1947 typing contest. The slowest here is about the average thumb clawing on a glass screen rate today.

@MattWalshBlog I trusted your recommendation on Hail Mary. If Widows Bay is "as good", thanks.

Another point about our cultural decline. We started watching the show Widow’s Bay. It’s really good. Fantastic writing. Perfect blend of comedy and horror. Last night’s episode was legitimately one of the finest episodes of television I’ve seen in years. If this same exact show came out in 2002, we’d probably remember it as an all time classic. But in 2026 most people haven’t even heard of it. It’s a blip on the radar. Another piece of content in the endless sea. You see it, or you don’t, and then it’s forgotten. It’s not that good stuff isn’t made anymore. It’s that even when good stuff is made, we don’t have any shared experience of it. There’s plenty of good music you can find on Spotify, recent stuff, but you experience it in your little algorithmic silo. Almost nothing breaks containment to become a bonafide cultural phenomenon. That’s what made Project Hail Mary so unique. Severance maybe also achieved escape velocity. But even in those cases the escape is fleeting. For the most part we experience the culture through the narrow pathway constructed for us by the algorithm. It might intersect with other people’s pathways, but only briefly. When we feel nostalgia for the Before Times, this is why. It’s not simply that we had a “better” culture back in the 90s or whenever. It’s that we had a culture at all.

@_MaxiTB @skdh I did. I guess only a camera really works? Good luck.

@0ctolo @skdh I think you misunderstood, it's not about some random people stealing your packages, it's about delivery guy stealing them and claiming they delivered them - either because they are overworked or because they do a little side hustle before they quit.

when the DHL guy comes and there's something to sign, I make a squiggle on the touchscreen and we both laugh and I wonder if anyone ever looks at any of those "signatures" and why we're still doing this

@i_am_fabs Liefergeschwindigkeit: Ohne Prime 6-8 Tage...

Das größte Asset von Amazon ist nicht deren Liefergeschwindigkeit oder weil es preislich gut ist, sondern weil man als Kunde weiß, dass es dort keine Probleme gibt. Und wenn es Probleme gibt, wird es in 99% der Fällen kulant und sofort (!) im Sinne des Kunden gelöst.

@TheProjectUnity 500.000 never to be heard of again...

How much money would be enough for you to feel secure for life?

@DrLuetke Ja, und trotzdem nur 1MB/s...

@Spreebabylon Warum kauft man sich für das Geld nicht einen Retro Mod? Neue Technik und sieht besser aus?

Hamid Mossadegh - bekannter Luxusautohändler und Auto-Influencer erklärt hier mal den totalen Irrsin der EU anhand eines Mercedes. Gibt es einen plausiblen Grund die EU nicht zu verlassen?

@AshtonForbes very good!

I love my new name. I wear it as a badge of honor. Ashton 4orbs. It means justice for MH370. It means we can engineer a wormhole. It means unlimited abundance.

@StefanMolyneux I think all (or mostly) male daycare might have a market someplaces. With focus on building and adventure.

Why?

@Virion_Aurelius Fängt schon längst an.

In 30-40 Jahren wird es eine Epidemie alter Frauen geben... Allein, verbittert, unglücklich, betrogen von der feministischen Fantasie... ES WIRD EPISCH! 🤣

@om_patel5 I thought about something like that for foxes (chickens), but a Nerf version...

THIS GUY BUILT AN AUTOMATED PIGEON DEFENSE SYSTEM FOR HIS BALCONY pigeons kept nesting on his balcony so he engineered a full detection and deterrent system here's how it works: 1\ camera captures video in real time 2\ an AI model identifies the pigeon in real time 3\ a water gun mounted on servo motors turns toward it 4\ sprays the pigeon automatically the hardware: > an orange pi 5 running the detection model > a disassembled electric battery-driven water gun > USB camera > 2 servo motors for aiming > resistors and a transistor to trigger the water gun the detection runs on an AI vision model (yolo world v2) using the rockchip 3588's built in neural processing unit. the best part is that it's not limited to pigeons. because it uses open vocabulary detection, you can reprogram the target to any object. squirrels, cats, raccoons, whatever is messing with your balcony fully automated, runs 24/7, no manual intervention needed

@_MaxiTB @skdh I understand, but I live on the outskirts of a very small town... not much theft going on... my point really is that they should do it when I specifically ask them.

@0ctolo @skdh The issue in my country is that if you let the company drop your package, it is considered to be delivered, even if it never ever arrived. Then you have to fight it out with whoever was the sender to get a refund. Otherwise the contract was not fulfilled, so money back.

@AJamesMcCarthy How many pictures would you need for it to appear sharp in the small TL version? And how long would that take?

Currently writing today's marketing email... find out why I had to take 1.7 million photos of the sun to get the shot I'm about to share! Unique photos in many ways require a bit of luck, but sometimes, it's about brute force.
