Ooh, look! I made a thing!

A nice #embroidery #floss winder that uses an enclosed gear train to wind your #bobbins much faster, plus makes it easier to get a good winding by holding the bobbin for smooth use.

I started working on a Wikipedia Science Article discovery tool, it will be a free software, open source, website and I'm coding it without any AI.

I'll post updates here as I make progress. The first category will be neuroscience.

Let me know which category should come next!

Guten Tag, wir sind von den Zeugen #FLOSS und möchten mit ihnen über #Linux sprechen.

Is there a Linux for gen Ai? Something people can switch to if they still need to use it? Not the "open source" handed down ones from big tech...

I'm talking:
- trained ethically by a community
(on many peoples computers)
- on data that was contributed for training
- running locally?

Searching the web I mostly found dubious for profit projects. #genai #ai #floss #foss

"Bund in der Abhängigkeitsfalle: Kostenexplosion bei Microsoft-Lizenzen" 😱 wer hätte gedacht, daß sowas passieren kann?! 🥸 Dazu noch die Kosten für Länder, Kommunen, alle möglichen Behörden und Tochterfirmen, die sich aus deren Töpfen bedienen.

Btw.: Hier kann und muss man sparen!

Bund in der Abhängigkeitsfalle: Kostenexplosion bei Microsoft-Lizenzen

Neue Regierungszahlen offenbaren hohe Ausgaben für US-Software. Die Kosten für Microsoft-Produkte steigen rasch. Open Source kommt in der Verwaltung kaum voran.

People think the #Matrix was about robots. It wasn't. It was about operating systems.


#Windows is the blue pill.

You take it, and everything stays comfortable. Pretty icons. Friendly sounds. A setup wizard asking if you want to save your soul to the #cloud. Updates appear at the worst possible moment like a Marvel post-credit scene nobody asked for. Your #PC reboots. You cry. #Microsoft thanks you for improving your experience.

#Linux is the red pill.

You wake up. You see how deep the #RabbitHole goes.

At first, it is terrifying. The #terminal stares at you like Darth Vader asking if you know the power of the #CommandLine. You type one wrong character and feel like you accidentally launched nuclear missiles.

But then something changes. You realize your #computer actually belongs to you.

No ads in the Start Menu. No #AI assistant spying harder than a reality TV producer.

No mysterious background process eating half your #RAM like Pac-Man after three energy drinks.

You choose what gets installed. You choose when #updates happen. You choose what your #desktop looks like.

You are Neo.

Windows #users are still sitting in their pods, downloading the latest mandatory #update called KB-Whatever-Again, wondering why their printer suddenly speaks ancient Sumerian.

Linux is not perfect. Sometimes Wi-Fi drivers behave like a side quest in Dark Souls.

Sometimes you spend two hours fixing a problem just to feel smarter than everyone else.

But that is the point. The red pill was never about comfort. It was about #freedom.

And freedom means occasionally reading a forum post written by a Finnish guy in 2007 who solved your #problem and vanished forever like a #Jedi master.

Welcome to Linux. There is no spoon. Only #sudo.
