Announcing: https://justaqrcode.com.

Tired of "free" QR code generators that are full of ads and trackers, that share your data, and that want to sell you something? Me too. Here's my act of resistance: I made a one-page site that works entirely in your browser to generate a simple QR code. And that's all it does. You can download the HTML page and run it locally, even. Read the source; nothing up my sleeves. Just a QR code.

My offer to you -- I will continue to pay for the domain name and web hosting for it, myself. If you find it valuable, you can pay it back by creating your own useful thing for the world and releasing it for free. Let's take back the friendly web, one vexingly-monetized utility at a time!

Two different approaches to debugging a software problem:

The Sudoku approach: stare at the limited set of clues you have, and think harder and harder about them until you find a way to deduce something useful.

The Minesweeper approach: don't even try to figure out the solution from only the clues you have right now. Instead, focus on finding a way to acquire another clue, and then using that to get another, and so on. Eventually you've collected so many clues that the answer is obvious.

Sometimes the Sudoku approach is necessary, because you've got all the clues you're ever going to get. But I think my new motto is "Never Sudoku a problem when you can Minesweeper it."

Hallo, wir sind der Verbund der Öffentlichen Bibliotheken Berlins (kurz "VÖBB" genannt) und #neuhier auf Mastodon!
Zu uns gehören über 80 Bibliotheken in ganz Berlin - darunter ein gutes Dutzend mobile Bibliotheken und unzählige Digitale Angebote.
Wir teilen hier unsere Lese-Empfehlungen, Bilder und Eindrücke aus unseren Standorten sowie Internetfundstücke, Memes uvm.
Besonders schätzen wir den Austausch mit euch, also: schreibt uns gern, was ihr gerade lest oder was ihr in der Bibliothek macht!
Der „Genderzwang“, die „Zwangsveganisierung“, der „Zwang zur Wärmepumpe“ - Weiß nicht, was ich schlimmer finde: Dass die Union seit Jahren kackdreistes Lügen salonfähig macht, oder dass die Medien da nur noch ne „Ja klar ist das gelogen, aber wir kommen halt auch nicht mehr hinterher“-Haltung haben.

Nur mal so:

Erinnert sich noch wer, was passierte als die neue #CDU - Wirtschaftsministerin Reiche noch Staatssekretärin im Umweltministerium war, bevor sie 2015 Gas-Lobbyistin bei kommunalen Energieversorgern und später bei E.on wurde?

Das war 2013 👇

“Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.”
