My biggest problem with #capitalism is that it forces everyone to make earning money their primary objective.

Not to provide valuable services for society.
Not to make sure that people don't suffer.
Not to preserve our environment.

All these things are just optional side effects to the main objective of making money, and will be easily discarded if doing the opposite turns out to be more lucrative.

Does anybody else ever think how messed up it is that unless you go out of your way (or live in a very rural area), you are bombarded with ads for the entire time you are awake.

• Ads on your phone
• Ads on your TV
• Ads on every place they can buy outside
• Ads on almost every website

It is honestly exhausting, and I wonder what a world with heavily limited ads would look like.

Incidentally, the lack of ads is one of the very nice things about self hosting things, and being on fedi.

I'm of the opinion that #threads should not be engaged with in any way.

Not because I think it's a threat to the #fediverse, although it could potentially be.
Not because I think it will bring a huge amount of bad actors that will harass users on other instances, although that is definitely a risk.

My reason is simpler; #Facebook has done so much evil, society eroding shit, that I don't work with them on principle.

And Facebook knows that as well, which is why threads is instagram branded.

My friend's landlord just cancelled her contract and she has to find a new room/apartment within the next 3 months. She can pay 600€ max on her own, or she and a friend can pay 1000€ together for two rooms. She has a cat that must be welcome.

If you know of any places that qualify, please DM.

Hey #Berlin bubble, do you know of a good #psychiatrist that is taking patients right now. Doesn't need to speak English, as I'm asking for a friend.

Hey #Berlin Bubble, kennst du einen guten #Psychiater, der gerade jetzt Patienten nimmt. Muss nicht Englisch sprechen, da ich nach einem Freund frage.

ainmosni, 11 months ago to Bulgaria

I just found out that there's a #EU citizens initiative to connect all EU #capitals by #HighSpeedTrain.

As someone who lives in #Berlin, and still has family and friends in #Amsterdam, I would love this to happen.

I refuse to take the plane for such a small distance, and there's no way it should take 7 hours by train.

The initiative can be found here: https://www.connect-capitals-hsr.eu/
And you can sign directly here: https://eci.ec.europa.eu/035/public/#/screen/home

Please sign, and share.

Just a reminder, you don't have to try out an app, just because some big tech company releases it. It is totally fine to ignore it.

ainmosni, 11 months ago to tech

Maybe I'm an old grumpy #tech guy, but I really don't like massive complicated frameworks that abstract away well known protocols like #HTTP, #GRPC, etc.

I already know those, I can easily write code that does those, why do I have to learn the convoluted #framework way of doing things that would be 10 seconds work if I could just access the basic http library underneath?

ainmosni, 8 months ago to bluesky

So, been on #BlueSky for a while, and I can't say I'm impressed.

• It really just feels like pre-musk twitter.
• The web UI is buggier than mastodon, I've seen some weird behaviour.
• It is super American, one of the nicest things of the fediverse is that it's not half as US dominated as twitter used to be, which makes it more pleasant for me. BS really feels like you stumbled in a democratic party convention.
• It's still owned by SV money, and that just leaves a bad taste.

ainmosni, 11 months ago to berlin

For the non German speakers in #Berlin, here's a small reminder that there's a protest TODAY against the decision to not build any cycle paths "if even one parking spot or road has to be altered.'

The time: Today 17:45
The place: Am Köllnischen Park 3

#cycling #infrastructure #verkehrswende #fahrrad #Infrastruktur

ainmosni, 11 months ago (edited 11 months ago) to berlin

So the #Berlin #CDU senator for traffic announced yesterday that "no new cycle paths will be built if any road or parking spot has to be changed for it".

This makes me super angry, as this will get cyclists killed, and it also explicitly states that cars own the streets here.

Of course it ignores all the climate and health benefits of cycling, or any of the other benefits.

I'll be joining the protest today at 17:45 on "Am Köllnischen Park 3".

ainmosni, 3 months ago to ADHD

As many #ADHD people, I tend to struggle with #paperwork, especially things that are sent to me by physical post.

Yesterday @excds pointed me to https://github.com/paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx, and I installed it and first impression is that it looks amazing.

I fed it a few scans of mail, and it OCRed it. So now I can:

• Search my snailmail.
• Copy and paste from snailmail.
• Tag my snailmail.

Next up is to make my scanner automatically upload scans to a directory it monitors.

This is huge for me.

The #StackOverflow #AI deal, and their reaction to the backlash shows, once again, that corps will gladly take people's good impulses (in this case, the impulse to help our fellow humans without expecting anything back in return), monetise them, and then act like the good impulse was meant to make them money, and that helping others was just incidental.
