Thanks to all for your kind remembrances on this awful day. Words will come later. Only feelings at the moment. Mourn and remember him but don’t forget to celebrate too. We won’t see his like again. The man from another place has gone home. #DavidLynch #TwinPeaks

Demokratie? Egal! Die FPÖ will den ORF ruinieren, um ihre eigene „Orban-Style“-Propagandanachrichten zu schaffen. Ein Angriff auf die Medienfreiheit – und auf uns alle.

ERLAUBT ist es auf Facebook und Instagram jetzt auch, Frauen als „Haushaltsobjekte“ zu bezeichnen, das war bisher untersagt

-Man darf auch schwarze Menschen als Landwirtschafts-Zubehör bezeichnen

- Man darf jetzt trans* oder nonbinäre Menschen als „es“ bezeichnen

Dem Mittagsjournal entnehme ich, dass Kickl ein Turbo-Unternehmer Programm vorschlägt (KöSt auf 10%, etc. pp). Eh schon seit August bekannt und von einem ehemaligen ÖBB Aufsichtsrat entworfen.

Das hätte sich die ÖVP in seiner Brachialität nie getraut. Aber ja, klar, ganz offen, ob das was wird.

Die #ÖVP macht einen Faschisten zum Kanzler und bringt dabei die besten Argumente, warum das eine katastrophale Idee ist. #Steigbügelhalter #machtbesoffen #FPÖVP

Eine außer Rand und Band geratene Mischung aus FPÖ, ein paar Medien und Social-Media-Algorithmen hat es in den letzten 10 Jahren geschafft, in Österreich eine Stimmung zu schaffen, die zu Folgendem führt: 1/6

Wir müssen bei der Budgetsanierung neue Wege denken: z.B. würde ein Tempolimit auf Autobahnen so viel CO2 Emissionen reduzieren, dass man auf einen großen Teil der Umweltförderungen verzichten könnte. Die CO2 Bilanz bliebe gleich, die Kosten wären wesentlich geringer. Nur trauen muss man sich.

Since yesterday I was talking about Gates McFadden’s struggles to get behind the camera opportunities, it’s time for me to share a story about the Doctor and how she’s one of the reasons I’m a Professor. 🧵

John Gruber on using generative AI for Internet research: "I direct (and trust) ChatGPT as I would a college intern working as a research assistant. I expect accuracy, but assume that I need to double-check everything."

If I had wanted to write a column about presidential pardons, I’d find ChatGPT’s assistance a far better starting point than I’d have gotten through any general web search. But to quote Reagan:…

Wow, funny story. I built skystats.mariozechner.at. It creates a statistical summary of your account's past 30 days worth of posts. It also calls OpenAI to summarize your account.

Google bot has decided to test ALL bluesky handles. What in the actual fuck? Or someone is impersonating Google.

Today I'm happy to introduce my latest project:

Bluesky Follower Scanner (BFS)

Idea by @patricialierzer.bsky.social

- Identify bots/trolls/spam accounts
- Find followers you want to follow back
- Get raw JSON to do more analysis yourself
- Enjoy your vanity

Revitalized an old Bluesky project of mine (I was here before it was cool).

Skystats: Analyze your BlueSky account.

I suppose it doesn't require much explanation. Serving your vanity since 2023. Now with less bit rot and support for BlueSky videos.
