Okay the move is done (for now) I'm now located in Berlin.

So if you're into #flutter, #tech, #food or just have a good vibe. Hit me up! I know already a couple of good places, but I'm of course open for suggestions.

Ich sehe das ja nicht so kritisch wie Florian Klenk. Wir alle betreiben Medien, angeblich soziale, aber jedenfalls Medien.

Diese Tipps sind sehr gut und richtig.

Tolle Landschaft und tolles Bild 🙌

Happy Birthday 💙🥳

🤔 Met a junior dev at a meetup this week getting actual training (no 'just ask ChatGPT').

First since 2022.

It's got me thinking about the pipeline—if mentorship becomes rare, what happens in 5-10 years? Curious what others are seeing.

Am I the only one who thinks those stroke memes are unfunny? I like dark humor but that's too much imho...

Damn 😳

Fluttercon was amazing. I'm horrible at the whole social media thing so this is literally the only picture I took in all of those 3 days 😅🤣🤣

But I had an amazing time and it was great meeting you all! See you next year hopefully 🥳🥳🥳🥳

On my way to FlutterCon Berlin 🙌🚀

So the "FCC won't let him be" 🤔🤔🤔

Fira is gorgeous 🙌

I will be trying to self-host my RustConf 2025 presentation. Here is how it looks inside Redox OS! I implemented full-screen in orbital for this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQAS...

True performance and cost for sure. But with Ollama at least having everything in a shell makes it a lot less comfy to read the output. AND given that it can't do web searches or other agentive stuff kind of makes me wonder if there is a use case for me 🤔🤔🤔

My new laptop has an NPU 🤖
Naturally, I had to try running an LLM locally.

Now I’m wondering — apart from privacy 🔒, what use cases would a local LLM be better for compared to a cloud one?

🎮 Yesterday I attended an indie game dev meetup in Amsterdam! 🖥️ Loved seeing how tech and storytelling come together 🚀

I had the same experience. That was kind of the moment when I thought, that dart is a really comfortable language to write code in 🙌

I need to get a new phone, and somehow I don't want any of the available ones.
Makes me wonder what a Linux phone by @tuxedocomputers.bsky.social or @blog.system76.com.web.brid.gy would look like.
I mean I'd buy that!

I feel you, I'm also more of an observer 💪

But yeah definetly worth trying! 🙌

LinkedIn is just cringe xD

Maybe we have to make more noise here 🙌

It's been a few months, and I'm quite happy with it.

8/10 Stars

was it a hassle? I'll have to do that aswell :/

Go ahead. 😅 We've got a type-safe ORM, great real-time communication using Dart streams, pub-sub, authentication, caching, world-class logging, file uploads, task scheduling, AI support, stellar testing framework – all built in. Batteries are included. 🔋

LGTM

Yep and squarespace

She had it coming 🤭💪
