Yeah right? But the lighter (split) boards I own could use that weight...

The Gergoplex Heavy would have been perfect; its plates were made from lasered industrial steel 😄

Ohh that looks fine!

Das ist übrigens Eugenik.

Wenn du einmal beginnst zu selektieren, wem du hilfst und wem nicht, dann gehst du einen Weg, der nicht aufzuhalten ist.

Streeck ist Mediziner und weiß das natürlich. Das macht es so perfide. Vor allem, weil er zwei rhetorische Tricks verwendet:

Awesome!! My (ofc personal) preference for typing is a split keyboard, and I feel like that's extra comfortable when walking

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.

I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.

But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

It might end up being annoying still though: my chair is wide at the bottom and I tend to move it around depending on my "stance". When I hit the treadmill under the desk it annoys me to no end ^^

Ah yeah, that's like the one I use

I also just realized that you mean something different.. I have a portable treadmill at work; you're talking about one of those integrated with your desk?

I feared the same, but it's honestly kind of addicting so I even carry the treadmill up the stairs when a colleague has used it!

I don't have one, but that sounds amazing! The switching is the worst part because I have to move everything around still

3-3.5km/h is what I usually do when typing (the former when in video chats because the treadmill gets a little loud otherwise). In meetings I walk >4. But I only do it for like 2 hours a day atm (logistic reasons, and the setup still sucks a bit), or I'd probably walk more slowly

Would you switch between walking and standing?

I'm using one at work daily, but I'm not at the point where I don't switch anymore (and I don't think I'll get there). I'm using a barefoot shoe to walk on it and I could increase my pace while still being able to type comfortably. For complicated issues I tend to want to sit down though

Reiche blamiert: Habeck hatte doch schon wieder Recht Nach Atomausstieg und Heizgesetz bleibt Wirtschaftsministerin Reiche auch bei Habecks Plänen für Gaskraftwerke. Jahrelang hatte man Habeck verteufelt – am Ende hatte er offensichtlich doch recht.

I still like Bluesky, but posting was never really my thing. Recently I've been giving the Fediverse a shot and it feels much more cozy! I'll keep trying it out, just posting random stuff (editor things and #crossstitch mostly atm).

Updated my bio and happy to find familiar avatars over there!

You have one more month to submit a talk or tutorial proposal to #BOBkonf2026: the deadline is 17 November 2025. We look forward to hearing from you!

The sci-fi setting of Neurocracy posits exactly this scenario: brain implants are initially trained on neural data from a subset of society, so getting them to work requires us to think in ways characteristic of that subset, installing biases directly in our minds and fostering a mental monoculture

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Perfect timing: We just shared a video at work over BigBlueButton and because autodubbing is now the default, others couldn't even disable it at all 😔

Your 30's are kinda your last window to do a lot of stuff that causes injuries. Wanna try skateboarding, etc, that kinda thing? Try to do it before your 40's. Not that it becomes magically impossible, but, injuries start hanging around longer, meaning it's way harder to LEARN to do dangerous stuff.

Same... It works when I pinch the hanging floss "just right", but I can't reliably reproduce it 🤦‍♂️ Let us know when you figure it out!

Chat Control Is Back on the Menu in the EU. It Still Must Be Stopped The European Union Council is once again debating its controversial message scanning proposal, aka “Chat Control,” that would lead to the scanning of private conversations of billions of people. Chat

The EU is once again trying to push a dangerous legislative proposal that undermines encrypted communication and obliterates our rights to private conversations. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

You don’t tweak your editor to be more productive, that’s a lame thing only a capitalist asshole would do.

You tweak it to make it feel cozy and look cute

That's one hell of deal too, good for you!

Die Maske ist ab: Was für ein illiberaler, intoleranter, empathieloser Soziopath. @melamann.bsky.social reißt Ulf die Maske runter! Darunter ist kein Vorkämpfer der „Meinungsfreiheit“, sondern ein Irrlicht, das mit dem Faschismus liebäugelt und Wahlempfehlungen für die AfD abdruckt.

I need to know who put the money up for all this media placement of a non story this week

Funny how age and responsibility can transform exercise from a chore to a sacred hour of treat-level me time
