83 Jähriger überfährt Mutter mit Kind am Leipziger Platz, weil er keine Geduld im Verkehr hat und über den Radfahrweg überholen will.

Jedes Mal wenn ich mit dem Rad da langfahre habe ich Schiss um mein Leben.

One day I will meet the artist who created this…

obrhoff, to Sony

Sony lays off people, and I'm not surprised. "Spider-Man 2" budget was 315 million dollars, and it wasn't a big leap from its predecessor.
AAA games have become unsustainable. I don't want to wait 20 years for the next Elder Scrolls only for it to eat a massive budget, forcing the developers to monetize it as much as possible.
I hope that these layoffs spark a new gen of game devs who are fed up with MBAs managing game studios and are to return to the roots.

So Google Chrome is basically Spyware. Cool.

„The leaked material suggests that Google collects and potentially uses data that company representatives have said does not contribute to ranking webpages in Google Search, like clicks, Chrome user data, and more.“

Tell me, if the web is dead according to @verge and others say build a progressive web app because mobile apps are dead. What is not dead then? Or is everyone just an evangelist for their own interests?

obrhoff, to llm

The amazing thing about LLMs is how much knowledge they posess in their small size. The llama3-8b model, for instance, weighs only 4.7GB yet can still answer your questions about everything (despite some hallucinations).

a very good round up about deepfakes and their impact on society. must watch https://youtu.be/S951cdansBI

I'm afraid this will be a thing, if Apple is forced to let people sideload apps.

obrhoff, to twitter

I really don’t understand why people who oppose fascism are still on Twitter. Why do you support this platform by providing content and traction?

For the context. Martin Sellner is a known nazi in the DACH region. He’s currently promoting his book, in which he describes how to get rid of immigrants regardless of their nationality.

Grundsicherung anstelle von Bürgergeld und Zwang zur Arbeit.

Rückblick: 2004 bin ich als Jugendlicher in das Hartz-4-System geraten. Ich wurde gezwungen, jeden Job anzunehmen.

Ich saß in zwielichtigen Call-Centern und habe Telefonverträge an Rentner verkauft oder saß in Bewerbungstrainings von Firmen, wo man, hauptsächlich die Fördergelder abgreifen wollte. Gebracht hat das alles nichts.

Der Zwang zur Annahme jeder Arbeit ist nur eine Subvention der Ausbeutung von Menschen.

There is this theory, that the whole internet is these day just fake and full of bots. Maybe they are right…?

obrhoff, to soundcloud

SoundCloud has just killed the Client ID of DaftCloud. Do they follow the model that Twitter and Reddit chose to adopt? It really saddens me, but I knew it would eventually happen. It's still sad to see it dying without any communication on their part.

Please Boost!

obrhoff, to StarTrek

Working again on a new image for my new office.

I want to recreate a poster of the original Star Trek Tricorder based on the blueprints released in the '70s. So far, I've got this, but I'm not happy with the fonts I found online.
Does anyone have a better one that matches the original more closely?

When I'm done, I will release the source files for everyone else. I could image doing more of these posters.

How it started… how it's going…

In Deutschland sind mehr als 50% der Überstunden unbezahlt. Zum Glück will die CDU nun keine Steuern darauf, weil Leistung sich wieder lohnen soll.

obrhoff, to SwiftUI

People often ask me, if DaftCloud is written in SwiftUI. Nope, it's AppKit with some weird design pattern. Most screens are just CollectionViews with DiffableDataSource which gets Diffed / Redrawn on State Updates.

I love SwiftUI on the iOS, but I heard that it's still not ready for macOS (after 4 years?)

Looks like Redis changed their license.

„Under the new license, cloud service providers hosting Redis offerings will no longer be permitted to use the source code of Redis free of charge.“

Ich glaube die "Paywallisierung" der Medien macht langsam alles kaputt an Vertrauen. Wichtige Informationen sind nicht mehr zugänglich für Bürger:innen. Ich weiss Qualitätsjournalismus hat seinen Preis. Es MUSS aber anders gehen.

obrhoff,

@adfichter Vor allem Fakenews gibt es "for free“.

Got this beauty as a birthday present.

obrhoff,

@awilbert True! I already got before the Point & Click Adventures Book (love the interviews but some of my Star Trek Favs are missing).

I'm eyeing already at the Gameboy Book. Might get it with an Analoge Pocket to celebrate it.

Watching the Kotlin Multiplatform ‘24 keynote.

It’s a breath of fresh air after years of Apple’s super-highly-polished WWDC ones.

Specifically: people falter naturally like real humans giving talks, multiple companies involved showing some industry collaboration. Something that’s just not present at WWDC re: Swift.

obrhoff,

@dave It's actually a really interesting observation. Apple alienated so much the developers these days with their corporate politics (the people that made the iPhone great in the first place).
It's far from authenticity and it doesn't feel human anymore. All these things that attracted and inspired devs in the first place and now these devs start to look somewhere else now…

obrhoff, to iOS

Anyone can recommend a good Mail client for iOS and macOS? I really love to use Mail.app but I would like to try out new things.

@rafa Did you have anything to do with it? I'm still very proud of it, that I got it as a present from the company!

obrhoff, to Spotify

People say that the sound quality in Apple Music is way better than in Spotify. What is the technical explanation here?
It can't be a problem of the encoding pipeline. This problem has been solved decades ago.
#spotify #applemusic #soundquality #audiophile #music #opus #aac #vorbis

obrhoff,

@nighthawk Might be a good explanation, but would this not mostly apply to older music that got remastered or what's the difference between a normal master and an Apple digital master?
