Good morning, everyone! ☕️ The first cup of coffee is brewing, and the weekend is finally here. After all the hustle and bustle of the last few days, I’m planning to take it easy today.

What are your plans for this weekend? What are you working on, what are you reading, or are you just going to relax on the couch today? Have a great weekend! 👇

Good morning, everyone! ☕️

The coffee’s brewing, and Germany is once again suffering from its annual Eurovision hangover. Sarah Engels came in 23rd place and received a dismal 0 points from the public.

And before anyone starts chanting the old mantra, “All of Europe hates us!”: No, that’s not the reason. It’s because #SWR manages pop culture like a PowerPoint presentation. A watered-down, completely risk-free radio pop song, approved by committees, simply fails miserably at the #ESC. The ESC demands risk, courage, artistry, and polarization—the exact opposite of German formulaic radio.
As long as we send the lowest common denominator to Europe, we’ll remain insignificant. 🤷‍♂️

Did you watch yesterday? Who was your true winner?

The U.S. wants to withdraw some of its troops from Germany—and to be honest: I think that’s a good thing! 👏
These bases are relics of the Cold War. Worse still: they serve as logistical hubs for U.S.-led wars in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. It’s time we stopped being the launchpad for foreign military operations. And if, as a result, American nuclear weapons finally disappear from Germany, that would be a real win for peace.🕊️✌️

@pallenberg@mastodon.social Jens Spahn is re-elected as parliamentary group leader with 86.5% of the vote and calls it a “vote of confidence.” Apparently, in the CDU/CSU, being responsible for an unprecedented billion-euro disaster in mask procurement as health minister is enough to warrant a promotion. Where is the much-vaunted political accountability in all this? Anyone who squanders billions doesn’t belong at the helm of a parliamentary group—they belong in political retirement. It’s time to resign! #SpahnResign #MaskScandal #CDU #WasteOfTaxpayerMoney #Spahn #SpahnRücktritt #Maskenaffäre #Steuerverschwendung

Today is #EarthDay. Fittingly, I have my old Game Boy sitting on the table. This thing is over 30 years old, has outlasted countless batteries, and still works perfectly. 🕹️🌱
When we talk about sustainability in the tech industry, that’s exactly where we need to go back to: devices that are repairable, last a long time, and don’t suffer from planned obsolescence after two years. Disposable electronics are a bug in our economic system, not a feature.

How sustainable are you when it comes to your tech?
Do you repair things yourself?

@BlackPanter004 @zdfmagazin Danke @BlackPanter004, Du bekommst die Verlinkung auf die eigene Plattform hin. Kann also dann nicht so schwer sein, dass diese auch von den @ZDF @zdfmagazin genutzt wird und eben nicht zu yt.

@zdfmagazin Liebes @ZDF, tolle Inhalte, aber warum zwingt ihr uns, mit unseren Beitragsgeldern exklusiv den Google-Algorithmus zu füttern? Zeit für echte digitale Souveränität! YouTube wegen der Reichweite meinetwegen weiterlaufen lassen – aber ein Parallel-Upload auf freie Alternativen muss Standard werden. 💡 Beste EU-Alternative: #PeerTube (Datenschutz, dezentral, Open Source). Für Live-Sachen bietet sich #Owncast an. Baut eine eigene Instanz auf! Öffentlich-rechtliche Inhalte gehören ins Fediverse. ✊📺 #FediFirst #OpenSource“

@steve@social.dinn.ca Looks like the internal firewall finally gave out, and the virus from the local network managed to get through. 😷 Coffee is now the only antivirus program that works. Get well soon!
