Der Verband reicher #Erben - die sich gerne #Familienunternehmer nennen & deren Familien nicht selten vom #Nationalsozialismus profitierten - rudert nun nach scharfer #Kritik von geplanten Einladungen der #AfD zurück.
Da ich bis 2015 Rechtslibertäre in der #Hayek - Gesellschaft erlebte & wegen deren Verrat am #Liberalismus austrat, habe ich einen Rat: Traut solchen nicht. Für ihren #Profit würden sie #Demokratie & #Menschenwürde dem fossilen #Faschismus opfern. Erneut. https://www.t-online.de/nachrichten/deutschland/innenpolitik/id_101024206/nach-kritik-familienunternehmer-stoppen-oeffnungskurs-zur-afd.html
Hier übrigens mein Abschieds - #Blogpost von den Rechtslibertären auch bei #eigentuemlichfrei von 2015 (!), die bereits damals #Trump & der #AfD huldigten und zunehmend #Antisemitismus , #Rassismus etwa gegen Barack #Obama & #Sexismus gegen Angela #Merkel freien Lauf ließen.
Seit über zehn Jahren eskaliert die #Rechtsmimesis & immer noch machen große Teile des fossilen #Lobbyismus in #Medien & #Politik auf ahnungslos. Ich bloggte das auch zur Dokumentation. https://scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-glaubens/das-gift-terrors-mein-artikel/

I wrote a guide on creating fully reproducible, PDF/A-compliant documents using LaTeX. By following this tutorial, you'll get to learn how to make archival grade documents that are worthy of long-term digital preservation.

Schade, aber so feindselig-dualistisch lasse ich mich nicht und andere Christdemokratinnen & Christdemokraten nicht beschimpfen. Zumal ich zum ernsten Thema der #Demografie lange & viel gearbeitet, auf einen dialogischen #Blogpost dazu hingewiesen habe.
Wieder mal bestätigt sich leider: Auf #X (früher #Twitter) tobt rechter #Hass, auf #Mastodon inszeniert sich linke #Selbstgerechtigkeit. Ist nicht das Gleiche, aber eben dualistisch.

I managed to find an easy solution to have reproducible environment using #Guix time-machine while still coding at the comfort of my own IDE.
I wrote a very short blog post about how to set it up in about 5 minutes along with example codes for R and etc.:
https://mehrad.ai/posts/20251106-reproducible-r-enviroment-using-guix/
This can be used for virtually any programming language and software stack.

I installed #Rockbox on my #InnioasisY1 and that got me rambling about how much I prefer to install things on Linux over Windows, and also how some people are not learning (or forgetting) how computers work at all

Decided to write a short response commenting on @jana's post titled 'Escaping my phone', give it a read!

EDIT: I've posted this - that will clarify even more things: https://my-notes.dragas.net/2025/10/10/when-bigger-stops-being-better/
I’ve received many reactions to my latest blog post. Some constructive, others critical, but all useful to better understand different perspectives.
However, two recurring dynamics emerged in the comments (mostly outside the Fediverse).
First: I didn’t mention any names. I understand the disappointment, but naming them wouldn’t have helped anyone. Before publishing, I did my homework - that draft had been ready for over a year - and I even asked some of the people involved.
They took action privately to warn friends and colleagues, with good results, but they didn’t want public exposure. Many years have passed, and that company no longer has the same relevance anyway.
Some understood my choice (naming them could have meant serious legal trouble for me), but others started quoting US laws and amendments to "prove" that I could have safely done it. What many don’t realize is that the world isn’t the United States - not everyone plays by the same legal rules. And even if I won such a case, it would still mean wasted time, energy, and peace of mind. Cui prodest?
Second: "Stories like that can only happen in Italy because there are so many small, family-run businesses".
That one annoyed me more - especially because it often came from Italians themselves.
First of all, I’ve worked in several countries, and I never said the story was about an Italian company.
Second, small businesses are not a problem - they’re a strength. My experience taught me that large corporations tend to turn employees into replaceable parts of a giant machine. Customers become faceless numbers, almost subjects rather than clients. At some point, a company’s need for endless growth becomes a trap - not a service that enriches people’s lives, but a "necessary evil".
And that, to me, is the real danger: believing that bigger automatically means better - in tech, and in life.
I wrote about this a few months ago, and I still believe it even more strongly today: https://my-notes.dragas.net/2025/06/09/macbook-pro-vs-car-why-small-businesses-still-win/

Throw-away fruity laptop
We now live in a throw-away society — there's no denying it. Fast fashion often dominates the news, but Tech is not squeaky-clean by any means.

I've found a nice way to organise my feeds (e.g. websites or the Fediverse) using the zones from permaculture. See the image for a general impression, I've written more on how I use it here:
https://kedara.eu/organising-feeds-permaculture/
I'd be happy to hear whether this system could work for you or not, especially once you've given it a try.
What systems do you use to keep track of favourite writers and reduce the overwhelming feeling of the unread counter?
