Time for #introductions.

I'm a software engineer who went from backend to frontend development. I enjoy #lisp most, but have dabbled in too many to list. I speak 🇩🇪 🇬🇧 🇷🇺. Things fascinating me:

- #cooking
- #cryptography
- #design
- #infosec
- japanese and soviet-era culture
- #keyboards
- #osdev
- #plt
- #science

- I believe it's irresponsible for companies (and anyone else making profit) to heavily depend on FLOSS
- Suppose the only developer or maintainer of a critical piece of software disappears, what do you do?
- I do this purely for fun, if it's no more fun, I drop out
- Lately I've been too busy and tired from work to do any maintenance for Evil
- Evil will be fine though, most of the reported issues are obscure interactions
- I just worry that nobody else takes over...

Found near the hackerspace.

I had a technology related one again. I dreamed I ran into a weird #Emacs glitch and looked into anyone else running into it. Instead I found a lengthy thread on emacs-devel where every post came up with an increasingly elaborate explanation invalidating the previous one. Horrified I went back to incorporating the glitch into my workflow, hoping it wouldn't be gone by the next release.

Hi, I'm Poppy!

BTW, I finished reading Master i Margarita. Can't say that I understand it, but I enjoyed the weird scenarios, the episodic storytelling and that ominous feeling of a deterministic fate nobody can really escape from. I'll have to re-read it in English but until then, I'll be enjoying plenty of Manga I've kept on the backlog.

So, this was Yakeppachi no Maria. It's entertaining, much like an old and obscure trash movie, but the overall soundness and quality of the plot leaves question marks. The author admits in the afterword that it's a "rather rubbish, sensationalist work", having been created in a time where it was finally considered socially acceptable to put nudity for educational purposes into Shonen manga.

Valuable life advice.

I agree, the guy leering at the couple is the worst. Can't say anything about kissing octopi though.

Tezuka reveals what marriage really is about.

Follow the leader.

Imagine actually having that in school.

Classic Tezuka. This is from his attempt at doing light-hearted sexual education in the 70ies.

I wish Haruko were here. #FLCL

It's a shame. They've picked "alice" as its codename for a phone unlikely to ever get official LineageOS support. I like Alice as character, be it Alice From Wonderland, Jigoku no Alice, Alice from the Resident Evil movies...

I figured out how to improve battery life of the smart phone, just take it out the pocket so that the screen doesn't keep turning on. That leaves the flaky WiFi as biggest annoyance.

I've switched from a Moto G1 with LineageOS to a Huawei P8 Lite I got for free. It's been a week so far, with an unofficial LineageOS ROM.

Pros:
- Far less annoying ROM than the stock EMUI (which is a bad iOS imitation)
- Snappier feel
- Camera is great

Cons:
- Battery life is way worse, barely enough for a work day
- WiFi has hickups, requiring me to toggle it off and on again
- Display has a yellow smudge
- Case is brushed golden metal, making me look like a JoJo character

Have you heard of the madman who ran around the market place and cried: "I seek internet! Do you have internet?"

He earned nothing but blank stares. The crowd began shuffling around him uncomfortably as he pierced them with his eyes. "Where is internet?" he cried, "I will tell you. We have killed it, you and I. All of us are its murderers. But how did we do this? How could we download all of it? [...] The internet is dead. The internet remains dead. And we have killed it." #writing

- I'm not particularly fascinated by sports
- Football is a particular mystery to me, you watch two teams dashing back and forth after a ball, but nothing much happens
- Yesterday I watched the critical game for Germany, but I focused more on the emotions
- It's incredible how bent out of shape their faces can get, especially in the slow motion view
- Is this what makes it so popular?
- Why isn't Politics nearly as engaging and emotional?
