iOS Developer at Techniker Krankenkasse in Hamburg, Germany by day, #iOS and #Android developer by night. Recently started to use #Linux on the desktop, too. I enjoy all things digital, but I also dabble in #Photography, #3DPrinting and #Woodworking. I’m one Podcast short of being a stereotypical nerd.

Proud #Antifascist. Fuck Nazis.

I usually write in English, but may occasionally write in German if the post is only relevant to German-speaking audiences.

Being a European these days basically means having a pretty ok day until late afternoon, when the president of the United States wakes up and you inevitably read the dumbest shit ever.

Every single day.

I've received the email of doom today. Work Macbooks will be auto updated to macOS 26 in two weeks. No exceptions. Because security blah blah blah. RIP my productivity (and sanity).

Facebook and Instagram Tighten Censorship Rules for Saying “Antifa”

Meta’s new rules let it ban users or suppress comments that include the word “antifa” alongside “content-level threat signals.”

An updated version of "Exploits of a Mom" by XKCD:

"Bundesregierung will Steuer für Diesel und Benzin um etwa 17 Cent pro Liter senken"

Übersetzung: "Die Bundesregierung will der Mineralölwirtschaft 17 Cent pro Liter schenken"

"Die Regierung erwarte, dass die Mineralölwirtschaft diese Steuersenkung „direkt und ohne Einschränkungen“ weitergebe."

Übersetzung: "Die Bundesregierung ist ein Haufen naiver Idioten"
