All Blips
I wrote a new post, and it's surprisingly philosophical, about reality construction and conflict resolution. It's probably the most profound insight I ever had. At this rate, expect the next one in 2065.

💼 Less than three weeks of work to go, then it's Christmas time!
I don't know, LinkedIn.
For a long time, I assumed that the Internet has only vanished into walled gardens, like Instagram, and that all the fun that used to be everywhere is happening there.
Now I took a closer look at these walled gardens again and found that they are also empty - the same 5 jokes repeated endlessly over and over again, hate speech and nothing else.
I am usually not someone to cling to the past, but I do miss the 'old internet'.
Just finished the top 3 Arkham games over the past weeks. IMO these are among the finest games I've ever played.
🏖️ Vacation mode: activated.
😷 Coughing and sneezing, less than 2 weeks from the big half marathon I am training for. Sucks.
Weltkindertag 🥰
👻 It's never too early to prepare for Halloween.
🚆 Commuting to work

🏝️ Enjoying time off work
🌦️ What a weird weather.
The upside of train rides is that I can catch up with deep focus tasks, like polishing the hecto tutorial.
Huh, my new domain (flenker.family) redirects to some random small IT consultancy by default? Weird.
🌲 Biggest it outage ever? Time to enjoy an afternoon in the nature with my girls. No Azure needed.
I've seen some dark patterns in my life, but this really is something. hallofshame.design/tradingview…
Wow, that's probably the biggest outage ever: nytimes.com/2024/07/18/us/fron…
🎮 Started Jedi Survivor and I'm loving it so far.
I'm trying to de-google now and move my eggs from the Google to the Apple basket. Let's see how this works out.

Re reading Wohland's views on how companies operate is always a joy. „You can't prepare for a surprise - if you could, it wouldn't be a surprise“
🏝️ School is almost out for the kids. Looking forward to some family time.
Small rant: My dryer has one button to start. You press it, it beeps once, it starts.
But if you press it not long enough, it doesn't start.
The infuriating thing is: It beeps twice. So it knows I pressed it. It knows I want to start drying. But it wants me to press again - but to do it right this time.
What a dick reincarnated as a dryer.
What The Car is absolutely awesome.
