"Ich verstehe sehr, was Aufarbeitung bedeutet: sich dem anzunähern, am Ende etwas zu sehen, etwas zu erkennen, aber es eben auch nicht mehr ganz zu treffen." – Anne Rabe

Started coding again few months ago. I engaged Claude as my developer. 15 years ago: 4000€ per month for a junior developer in Berlin. Now: 40€/month for AI. 100x cheaper. And available Friday night if I want to.

Last day of our show HAUNT Saison. Open today 5–8 pm at Kluckstraße 23 A, 10785 Berlin.

I once tried adding my research to Wikipedia — met with lectures and threats from self-appointed experts who knew less than they claimed: ignorance wrapped in toxicity. Can’t wait for the fake royals to lose their fake kingdom. #grokipedia

@Innerdevcrypto In my experience, Nonviolent Communication works only when both sides act in good faith. With a narcissist, your openness can become their weapon to manipulate or hurt you. Make sure the relationship is non-toxic first.

If you have some friction in a relationship, there is no reason to immediately throw in the towel, break-up, leave, get divorced, or go insane with prostitutes or gigolos Take some time and read these books, both partners, and see if you can continue. Really give each other a chance and work together, nobody is perfect. No marriage or relationship is without ups and downs, but if you overcome your issues, you will move on better and happier and can come stronger out of a crisis

@teslaeurope FSD goes Kreuzberg!

FSD Supervised in Berlin ... on its way to forage for artisanal aioli at Streetfood Thursday Pending regulatory approval

@FrankLeeSG Hallo Frank, das tut mir sehr leid zu hören. Ich kannte bisher nur deine Tesla-Analysen. An einem komplexen Trauma muss man sehr hart arbeiten. Du hast mein Mitgefühl.

I haven't posted much on X in recent years. After achieving financial freedom through $TSLA, I invested heavily in myself and worked full-time on my mental health for 3 years, which paid off in mid-April '24 when I managed to heal from the worst things that happened to me.

@stekkerauto nice that Niklas Maak writes about this topic!

The Crisis of German Design: From Bauhaus Elegance to Baroque Excess Why 'Made in Germany' No Longer Means Timeless Design from this excellent opinion piece by Niklas Maak in FAZ: - German design, once synonymous with functionality and timeless aesthetics, is now criticized for poor form and excessive ornamentation. - The automotive industry exemplifies this decline, with designs like the VW Golf suffering from technical faults and uninspired aesthetics. - Historical design principles rooted in Bauhaus and Ulmer School emphasized simplicity, durability, and social responsibility. - Modern German products increasingly cater to luxury markets, alienating everyday consumers and losing touch with practical needs. - Chinese manufacturers have adopted traditional German design philosophies, producing minimalist and functional products that outperform German counterparts. - Critics argue that German firms prioritize profit over design integrity, leading to oversized SUVs and overly ornate vehicles. - The global competitiveness of German design is threatened by its departure from foundational principles.

@RAF_Historie Sehr schade

PS. Jetzt @RAF_Historie auf Bluesky folgen: raf-historie.bsky.social Der Twitter-Account ist nur noch zweite Wahl und wird in absehbarer Zeit stillgelegt.

#OTD Bei der Deutschen Presse Agentur geht am Abend des 24. Januar 1972 ein Brief von Andreas Baader ein. Das ist ziemlich sicher, denn er hat den Brief mit zwei Fingerabdrücken unterzeichnet. Grund: Die Bild hatte berichtet, der Mitgründer der #RAF wolle sich stellen.

@not_gpt4 @mikejt4 @alex_avoigt 2024 is included in Alex' chart.

@mikejt4 @alex_avoigt Where is the 50% drop shown in OPs picture?

As battery 🔋 prices continue to fall, all car manufacturers who believe that it is better to go back to combustion engines because they cannot offer competitive BEV models will only achieve one thing: the acceleration of their downturn. Even consumers who don't like BEVs for whatever reason will buy them if they can save money. The stupidity of the established car manufacturers to invest in ICEs again right now is unbeatable.

@WallStreetSilv Chancellor Merkel made the decision to shut down all German nuclear power plants in Germany in 2011 after Fukushima.

The radicaI leftist, Robert Habeck, German Vice Chancellor and Green party member is discussing massive censorship and taking control of the algorithm of X and TikTok. "The regulation of algorithms, of X or TikTok, through the application of European legal norms is a central task. We cannot place ‘democratic discourse’ in the hands of Elon Musk and Chinese software." Robert Habeck is the imbeciIe who forced Germany to shutdown all of their perfectly safe Nuclear power plants when they still had decades of future ahead of them. Now Germany has some of the highest energy costs in the world and was forced to use far more coal to replace the nuclear power. Germany is known for having the smarted engineers and the absolute dumbest elected leaders on the planet.

@TeslaOwnersDEU Maybe just because of the shipping?

Nextmove reports #BEV new registration numbers from Germany. #Tesla Model 3 doesn’t make it in the top 20 anymore. I really don’t get it. M3 offers the best package for the price, regardless of which version you buy. Can you guys explain the numbers? youtu.be/xv0dGQ2Z3dM?si…

@piloly 93% or so I’ve heard somebody say.

I wonder how efficient that is. I guess it's not a smart option at home.

All set up for the opening today: Enter Art Fair Copenhagen At the booth of Konstanze Wolter Gallery I'm showing works of my series 'DIN'. Enter Art Fair, Aug 29 - Sept 1, 2024 in Copenhagen, DK, Lokomotivværkstedet
