  • Ich finde ja der Entzug der Finanzierung ist das Mindeste. Es gab auch einen schönen Kommentar dazu, der die Vorteile dieses Vorgehens aufgezeigt hat (ich weiß leider nicht mehr wo). U.a. wurde bemerkt, dass es einen Keil zwischen bloße Opportunisten und Idealisten treibt und außerdem einen Anreiz für Verfassungstreue schafft.

    Im selben Zug sollten auch rechtliche Vergehen von Einzelpersonen in und um die AfD konsequent verfolgt und grade in der Spitze auch Leuten knallhart das passive Wahlrecht entzogen werden, wann immer diese Maßmahme gerechtfertigt ist.

    Solche Maßnahmen gehen schneller und wirken direkter, gezielter als ein komplettes Parteiverbot. Aus mir unerklärlichen Gründen sperrt sich die ‘Mitte’ aber ja selbst dagegen. Vielleicht weil man Angst hat, dass man selbst irgendwann dran kommt, wenn der drölfzigste Korruptionsskandal auffliegt.

    Oder man glaubt ernsthaft immernoch an Oberst Fritz. Der hat in letzter Zeit immerhin eine Sache richtig gemacht und weitestgehend die Klappe gehalten.







  • Obligatory ‘Fuck Google’.

    They should just straight up put a big, red exclamation mark on averages for places where unusually many reviews are removed, with an appeal process for the business, not the users.

    On that lawsuit thing thought: You don’t risk anything by appealing. Courts don’t care what Google has to say. The business can sue you right away, they don’t need to remove anything first. If what you said are simple facts however, there is nothing they can do. Nothing but ask Google to remove it anyway.







  • I won’t miss writing code. In part because I still do when I feel like it, but also because most of the time it is extremely boring. A mere mean to a goal for which you probably have the path mapped out in your brain already. It is basically just busywork at that point.

    There are these moments where you need to squeeze out performance, where you change something about the UI or generally visuals and get a pleasing result, or where you discover a small tweak that collapses a lot of complexity you originally planned for - but that is, in my humble experience, not the norm in programming. The vast majority of code is boilerplate or stuff you have already written a thousand times in some variation. The more experience you have the worse it gets.

    I was ecstatic when I realized how good agents have gotten, realized how I could focus on design and architecture and with small corrections, get more than adequate software. Because for me personally, programming is the least fun part of software development. Most of the time that is. And you can hate it all you want, but programming is a skill worth nothing on its own now, and it will never be again. You can take solice in the fact that you can still do it for fun if you want to.


  • This is a wild concept for other cultures. Like, in Germany people will help you move. Your friends that is. Maybe a coworker or neighbour - if you even know any neighbour at all. That is all but a given here as well. But some random guy? Nah…

    Oh and you absolutely have to rent a truck. I don’t know a single truck person. There is no such thing as having a truck, unless you need it for business. Long story short: I just paid a company >2k to move just one town over
