  Bought a different brand of müsli than I usually have. It has too many raisins, I am disappoint.

  I don't know what plant jizz I am breathing in currently. But damn, it's wreaking havoc on my sinuses and mucus membranes. 🤧

  The terfs have moved the goalpoasts. Literally the day after the ban on trans people using public restrooms came into effect, the transphobia seamlessly transitioned into ableism. They are now targeting young women using mobility aids. Read all the ableism containing the same 'social contagion' moral panic here: https://archive.ph/OMv9c

  Helmet, gloves, snack, Wahoo, bra-inse-... I mean chest fairings. I've got all the things for going out on a ride.

  RE: https://hsnl.social/@Dany/117053245961816992 People don't really pay attention on linkedin. I posted the same photo there, the text included in the post included: "And on my gravelbike (although I'm still more a roadie), where I like to ride fast-ish. So I do some of the aero-trends that are all the rage in cycling." It had 1300 impression 13 reactions and 2 comments. Nobody mentioned the bra inserts. 😸

  It's international cat day *and* Saturday, so Caturday² Here is me, last year, on day 1 of #why2025. Looking tired already, but oh sweet summer child I was, as all the chaos was about to get down.

  In the wake of the attack on the Berlin CSD last Saturday: I can do without the pinkwashing of blatant racism. In 99% of cases the very same people complain about woke and LGBTQ+ being 'forced down their throat' on a daily basis. Realistically I have most to fear from the very white politicians that rave about christo-judean values and traditions, that want to limit queer and trans rights and impose restrictions and outright bans on gender affirming care.

  Few things in the gym feel as good and powerful as a successful split jerk. 🏋️‍♀️ Also really happy that my front squats at finally improving. In my little clean-squat-jerk complex managed to get a neem PR in the front squat. (Yes this is escapism, after the news of last night, I need things to be happy about.)

  I had the brainfart to just get some extra memory in my work laptop. 8gb is a bit meager for a corporate Windows 11 install. Thinking that older, slowish memory probably is cheap enough to just pay from my expense allowance, without going through the pain of Corp IT ticketing. An 8gb DDR4 so-dimm starts at around €69 nowadays. 😱 These things were around €20 a year ago, before ram prices soared.

  I am writing again, and enjoying it a lot. Why the fuck would you want to have some stupid machine do it for you and churn out some average of averages slops?

  Can't we just have an AI labelling for companies, so you can decide buying their stuff or applying for a job. Something like: 0 - AI? I'm a plummer. No where is that leaky pipe? 1 - We use some cleverly designed algorithms. 2 - We incorporate machine learning in specific tasks. 3 - LLMs are available for limited non-critical tasks only. 4 - Experienced Devs can use a coding assistant, but are accountable for the output. 5 - GenAI and LLMs are available for staff to use as tools...

  The AI is also car brained, proving it is a form of US Tech colonialism. @notjustbikes already predicted that tech companies selling autonomous cars will be lobbying to make the roads 'safer' by redesigning them to suit cars and be hostile for humans. https://road.cc/news/driverless-taxis-veering-into-cycle-lanes-normal-practice-says-waymo

  Two NL-Alerts for the North-C datacenter fire already. Smoke still isn't an issue here, this was around 12:40 today. You can see a faint smudge at the horizon that probably is the fire.

  I'm pretty smug with myself for finding a way to include a literal worst-kaas scenario in a slide deck for a new training.

  On a side note "Les XII travaux d'Asterix" was published 50 years ago. Half a century later and laissez-passer / Passierschein / Vrijgeleide A-38 is still universal shorthand for burocracy.

  Well fuck this. Terfs are threatening Parkrun UK* with legal action, because they just allow anyone to join the runs without stupid gender assigned at birth shit. I've got some business trips coming up, including to the UK. And I'm tempted to invoke the new Corporate Gender Affirmation Guidance that states I can refuse travel to unsafe countries without repercussions. Just to make a fucking point. *Parkruns are free volunteer organised 5k runs in parks on Saturday morning. It's an...

  Wondering why I am still paying for Strava, I'm not using much of the premium perks. Garmin offers about the same, and I don't care so much about segments and QOMs. Will look into open source alternatives, to do some fun stuff with the years of data. But probably gonna axe the renewal of my subscription.

  Why do corporate e-mail quarantine notifications only give me the option to either look in detail, or release the e-mail from quarantine to my inbox? In 90% of cases I can see from the sender or subject line included in the notification, that it is spam and would like to just delete it straight away.

  Amy Shira Teitel's description of the Artemis missions sounds exactly like the enshittification of spaceflight: only good for a handful of billionaires not for human progress. This video was created pre-launch of Artemis II. Looking back on that mission, the greatest thing we've learned: NASA astronauts are dealing with the same issues in Microsoft Outlook as all of us. https://youtu.be/Yd_PrgsoMbQ

  Ah yes, the almighty Mythos, the LLM that will find all your vulnerabilities in software. Surely Anthropic must have run it against their own stack. Completely securing this 'too dangerous to release' model from unwanted attention. Oh, wait... No. https://techcrunch.com/2026/04/21/unauthorized-group-has-gained-access-to-anthropics-exclusive-cyber-tool-mythos-report-claims/

  Apparently Meta has been banning queer accounts from Instagram again. Although I don't see the en masse wide spread algorithmic bans that are alluded to. The numbers are too low for that. My hypothesis is that these bans follow reporting actions by conservative activists. Anyway, this is an excellent time to help out our queer siblings to move to greener pastures in the fediverse. Please show some empathy, as 'just hosting your own website', or setting up a Mastodon acc...

  Judging from my clothes I'm losing some body volume. Which is fine, unfortunately I'm also losing fat in a place where I'd rather keep it: my breasts. And I need every once I have there. :blobhaj_trans_heart: Don't know if I'm actually losing weight, the last time my body volume decreased to the point people commenting on it, my actual weight stayed just the same.

  A week ago I found out that my credit card was blocked, due to fraudulent transactions. Couldn't see any message from ING about that and had to call their fraud desk to find out what happened. Only this morning I got a notification in the ING app telling me that my card was blocked, and I should contact the fraud desk. A notification 10 days late...

  When you go to the sauna alone, but the first Aufguss is accompanied by Rachmaninoff piano concerto no. 2. So you have Céline Dion to keep you company for the rest of the day #Ohrwurm

  I can use some orchid advice, this one is looking sad and on the stem where it once flowered new plants seem to grow, one even has an air root. What is a good course of action?

  I started to make a point of using dehumanizing language when talking about GenAI. Those systems don't think, they calculate. They don't write, they generate. It is a computer, with software. Not a person with feelings. Stop anthropomorphising GenAI.
