Hi if you - are a book AND africanfuturism enjoyer - into sci-fi or fantasy AT ALL - love a good easy to grab up series PLEASE get this bundle. @nnedi.bsky.social books have been my go-to bed time snack. Binti is delightful, I just finished She Who Knows and am currently on Who Fears Death!

Sneaking suspicion this codec isn't working and I won't be able to get data from these images 🫠

It's hilarious as a German-American in Germany when I blend in enough that I get to hear devastatingly fitting criticism of Americans

Burn With Me by Munich studio @nozomugames.com will release on 12 October 2026. The game combines hand-drawn graphics with live-action hand movements, creating an eerie atmosphere. www.gamesmarket.global/burn-with-me...

Glad I came out here

Remember when you were little and you messed up, saying "I didn't hit that button! I jumped!!!!" Well we at Sony decided to make that justified!

Loving the clear skies for the partial today

NixOS rollback-ability is great, but it'd be nice if I could write some sort of personal test suite to know when something non-catastrophically breaks so I know immediately... instead of noticing my Rust environment is broken ten minutes before a Rust job interview :|

Took a longer search than expected, but I FINALLY found our eclipse glasses

Irony is a smokestack labeled "Umwelt"

Back in Europe and can eat lettuce again! 🤣

Makes me so happy that my new highest rated contribution to <other platform> is from sharing a physics fact. :)

Weird when you see cruel people talk about kindness and cruelty in a way that shows they should know better. Like... do better then? Implement your ideas on the matter? It's like people have no self-reflection

Wisst ihr noch bei diesem Netflix Film "Don't Look Up". Wo der Wissenschaftler im Fernsehen einen kompletten Breakdown hatte? Wir sind jetzt genau an dieser Stelle in der Story. Don't look up.

Man my de-googling pressure just keeps doubling

A player found out the ACTUAL name of my game's upcoming character from the Google Search AI - I had NEVER told the name to anyone. The only place this info exists is inside my own Google Doc, and this was NOT me speaking to the AI! #GameDevs #GameDev #indiegamedev #indiegame #Google #GoogleAI

I'm never superstitious but I make an exception for WiFi / cellular connections. Something ethereal is going on there

As part of the @departmentofenergy.bsky.social Genesis Mission, CMU and @uwartsci.bsky.social are building AI-powered tools that unify astronomy data across major surveys, accelerating discoveries about dark matter, dark energy and the evolution of the universe. 🧪⚛️ #Cosmology

Crazy how much the experience requirements for software jobs are inflating as more engineers get laid off. What was once five years is now ten. What used to require bachelors wants masters and phd's

Getting FOMO from my brother sharing all the cool stuff he's doing with his 3D printer

"The moderation team will check your review and allow it to be posted if it meets our guidelines" Uhhh. I didn't write anything I just rated it on the scale you gave me...

Womp womp. Not gonna be able to visit pgh this time around

Tax stuff in Germany is scary to me because rather than forms saying "<Situation> applies to me" it's always like "<Law> <Section> <Paragraph> applies to me" and then it's good luck figuring it out.

EU peeps: vote on future Euro designs! www.ecb.europa.eu/euro/banknot... #eu #euro

I’m going home this weekend! I’ll be giving a (free and family friendly) talk about sharks and marine biology at the Pittsburgh zoo! Hope to see yinz there! www.pittsburghzoo.org/event/why-sh...

lmfao at this Oracle ATS that crashes when you have the word "Typescript" in your job experience text. ...mood tho...

Dear @jetbrains.com, please stop hiding the debug button.

I love this job listing I found: Part-time, 6 months, requires "Extensive experience" in this knowledge domain they and their affiliates seem to have invented about a decade ago. When I see this I kinda wonder if it's one of those roles where they already know who they'll hire, but must be "fair"

Sometimes a "batteries not included" API is like a toy with batteries not included. Other times it's like unshielded power lines hanging from the ceiling of a condemned building.

When the web is written by „AI“ for „AI“, we’re losing both accuracy and humanity. That was not how it was meant to be. www.theregister.com/columnists/2...

German Masters Program Admission Rejected. What's even the point

I was _just_ starting to get myself to stop obsessively checking my job boards multiple times per day... and then yesterday I logged on to notice another job posted 2 hours before with only 6 hours left to apply. How in the world?

So much of jobseeking these days seems to depend strictly on whether you can make it past the first mostly-automated filter. 😔
