Gitlab Act 2 und meine Konsequenzen daraus http://elbosso.codeberg.page/gitlab_act_2_meine_konsequenzen_daraus.html#content
Ich habe kurz nach dem 11. Mai 2026 von den Änderungen erfahren, die bei Gitlab als Organisation
geplant sind.
Diese Informationen lassen mir keine andere Wahl, als gänzlich auf das Produkt zu verzichten.

Automatische Konvertierung von JavaScript nach Java http://elbosso.codeberg.page/automatische_konvertierung_javascript_nach_java.html#content
Ich halte mich von den Themen Artificial Intelligence und Machine Learning
(Large Language Models) ja fern so gut es geht - vor allem, weil ich das mal
studiert
habe.
Manchmal
überkommt mich aber die
Neugierde
- das Resultat war bisher immer
schlechte Laune.

...and quite possibly the CAUSE of our evolution from smart monkeys to (presumably, the jury is still out...) smarter apes.And you caffeine addicts don't get off either, that comes with it's own niche withdrawal symptoms and degrading of physical and mental performance if you don't take your personally selected dose.
Anyways, sorry for the wall of text, that's my tuppence worth...

I'm in one of those, a touch screen is the worst design ever made, moods. Why anyone in my generation accepted this and thought this was a good idea is beyond me.
For the sighted folks following me, a bit of a history.
In recent iOS upgrades for me there has been a vast disconnect between navigation and typing. When typing, keys just don't register, keys are slow to process, keys are just sluggish in general when typing on the virtual keyboard. It is madenning.
I hear it is the same on the Android side, so this isn't just an Apple thing.
Despite navigation being fine, still, I'd even argue that to sighted folk, sometimes, a touch interface just doesn't work.
I'm a pretty good typist but it took me thrice as long to compose one of my lengthy text messages asking a very important question, than when I used my PC to send an SMS message. Why did our generation believe typing on glass is cool. Nobody can type on glass.
I'm a very skilled typist and it takes me nearly 10 minutes to fiddle with the awful latency on the keyboard running VoiceOver. Navigating the phone is better, somewhat, but Apple fucked up typing speed forever I feel and I am not even sure what they did.
This is a problem with all mobile phones, I feel, not just Apple.
I've heard from sighted folks the virtual keyboard doesn't work for them either.

Despite the reflective update to the conclusion, this reads as a little too bitter & in bad taste 😬 – sorry:

🚀 Oh, goody! Another 1665-word masterpiece where someone shakes their fist at #compilers for not being their personal genie. 🤖 Apparently, compilers are conspiring with #WebAssembly to make life more "complicated," just like the author's grasp of coherence. 😂

The sheer ignorance of some tech "journalists" INFURIATES me.
Today the NYTimes featured on its homepage an article about how "The Netherlands blocked a U.S. company from buying a Dutch firm that handles its national ID system."
🔗: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/09/technology/solvinity-kyndryl-blocked-deal-us-europe-rift.html
So far, so good.
But the journalist behind the article wrote in the comments section:
"More and more, countries in Europe want to disentangle themselves from American tech. What's less clear is what exactly they can replace it with."
EXCUSE ME ADAM SATARIANO, THERE IS A GALAXY OF EXCELLENT FREE OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE THAT MANY EUROPEAN GOVERNMENTS ARE ALREADY USING.... OR EVEN BUILDING AT THE MOMENT.
Maybe I should have gone into journalism after all #lesigh

Please, dear HFY writers, no more stories starting with “Bob sat on the bridge of the Earth Ship Big Birtha”
Why do so many HFY stories start with the OC standing somewhere waiting for the opening thing to happen? I’ve lost track of the stories I’ve listened to or read that start with some chuckle-froggy in some location with the lights blinking or the tools shining. You have done that to death.
Please, dear HFY writers, stop doing this. Please, please, please stop.
Bob sat on the bridge of the Earth Ship Big Birtha, the lights blinked normally… Zzz… this reader is asleep.
If I encounter one more HFY story that starts like this, I might scream!How many stories can copy the exact same start without putting us to sleep? Far less than currently exist, I can tell you that.
We do not currently care about your character or the location you want to describe. I, for one, do not give a single flying mouse bum about the normal day a fictional human was having. I might if the brown stuff was already hitting the spinning thing.
Screw that dull stuff! Tell me about the cool thing that happened. We can meet your point-of-view protagonist after the cool thing. But do the cool thing first, for the love of all that is good. Please.
When you are told to start “in media res” (Latin for “in the midst of things”), that does not mean in the middle of the normal day where the thing will go boom. That’s at the edge of the res (things), at best. More like somewhere with a view of the res, maybe. Are we there yet? So bluh!
Instead of blah, give me the Earth-shattering kaboom.
Explosions are cool. Unexpected terror is exciting. Bob sitting in the captain’s chair is boring.
More kaboom; less humans hanging out waiting for the story to happen, please.
If something is going to be on fire later. Start with it on fire right now. That’s the bit we came for.
It’s dangerous to write alone, take this
Here are a bunch of opening lines. Steal them, reuse them, write some better openings with them. Do better. Write anything that is not Bob hanging out before the cool stuff happens.
The massive ship screamed from the sky, removing any notion that we were alone in the universe.
As the Trexians fired the first shot at the human colonists, they foolishly thought this would be a minor skirmish that would be over by mealtime.
Reality ripped and buckled, filling the void with impossible geometry. It lasted mere moments; in that time, an impossibly huge and intimidating brick of a ship had barged into normal space.
This wasn’t how space battles were supposed to go. Hundreds of coffin-sized projectiles were latching onto the hull. The deranged humans were bringing the fight into his distoryer.
It was a Thursday evening when the Vanashi entered Earth’s atmosphere right above the city to demand surrender. The locals were pissed. This was the semi-finals. How dare these fools interrupt the big game?
For some reason, the Atanaskara thought Earth was a good place to dump old battle stations. NASA tracked the massive lump after detecting it out past Jupiter. It followed a roughly calculated trajectory which almost hit the moon. More would soon follow.
Humans always wore encounter suits with mirrored visors, but on day two-hundred and six of the thirteenth-hundred cycle of Vark by the Baralian reckoning, Tharg learned exactly why. It all started when…
To: Admiral Zazizch;
By: Encrypted Proxy 92a-256;
Re: Your plan failed
The humans were not intimidated at all. Send reinforcements. Encounter log attached.Earth was doomed. The greatest battle craft ever built by the Karnag would have the stupid little planet in firing range any moment now.
The third Blarge of Grune was the day Kamoss Varr asked a human child a simple question and instantly realised he was not cut out for teaching. He would have nightmares for the rest of his life.
The first words of your story have to make a promise. That promise must be “this story is going to be worth your time”. Unless there is a genre of characters sitting about, Bob on his spaceship is not your opening. Jane, in her lab, is unlikely to be the cool thing. Liam, in his workshop, is just as dull. These people and these places are not exciting – they’re not even interesting. What happened next might be, so skip to that bit.
So, please, writers of fiction on the interwebs, fewer people sitting on their bum and more cool things going kjaboom please.

🤦♂️ Oh no, another tech bro's poetic rant about hating #soldering. 🌪️ Apparently, soldering is the end of civilization and the grey smoke is its harbinger. 🙄 Maybe next time, just hire someone who doesn't have an existential crisis over a soldering iron. 🔧✨
