Today I set my Twitter account to inactive. This feels like a big step for me considering how important the platform was for me for a long time.
Much of the start of my tech career I got on Twitter.

I also deactivated all the x-posting I had. I can't even say how much I appreciate Mastodon atm. Let's see where this all takes us. I thank yall for this community. 🙇

From my Twitter: "I am done with this platform for the time being. I'll keep my account to avoid abuse but what happened in the last weeks and recent actions showed that Twtr has turned into a platform I do not want to participate in actively any longer.

So long and thanks for all the fish!"

Edited as it got x-posted which is not disabled.

I am no Reddit user at all, so I just did a Usability test -- and I can confidently say that the Desktop web version is a steam pile of 💩

Things are nested in unnecessary menus, the UI is cluttered with noise ... wow... that was very demotivating to use it more.

Colleagues of mine have created a page that creates generative art based on data from the football WM - https://www.gencup.art/

Although I don't care for football, I admit that these graphics are pretty sweet.

Over the weekend I watched "All quiet on the western front" -- which is a remake of the 1930 movie based on the book with same title.

I found the movie to be really good from visual to sound design and perfectly portrayed. I can highly recommend to check it out, although it's very gruesome focusing on a realistic depiction of the cruelties of war. Especially the final 15 minutes are very intense and heartbreaking.
