Gut gemacht Herr Merz. Seele der CDU. Zum ersten…zum zweiten…zum dritten…und verkauft!

Neat. I just heard that „The Seed of the Sacred Fig“ got an Oscar nomination. I did some VFX work on that.

Somehow the ones that complain the loudest about being labeled are the ones that have the least problems labeling people left and right.

Beware of having an opinion on the Internet. They will come. They will find you. And you will be chastised for not aligning with their opinion. All in the name of freedom and openness, of course.

Real rich. Claiming the moral high ground by calling someone a Nazi. Not only are you cheapening what happened in WW2. It’s just plain dumb.

I’m thinking about getting a Mac mini M4 16GB RAM. I was wondering how well it will handle 3D rendering, VFX compositing and coding/compiling. I mean sure, more RAM, CPU and GPU is always better, but money is a bit tight right now and that machine looks very tempting for that price point (€699).

It is really frustrating and sobering how the tech elite is stumbling over themselves to please their new commander in crime.

I‘ve seen a couple of established iOS developers gripe about SwiftUI and that they should have stuck with UIKit. Would you advise someone starting out with iOS development and zero Swift experience to use UIKit as well? Or is it more of an old dog, new tricks kind of issue?

Just came back from my monthly doctor‘s visit. Apparently my blood HB is too low, which explains why I could sleep all day long. Need to increase my weekly injections to twice a week. Oh the joy of needles. 😐

Und noch eins. Aber dieses Interview ist etwas anstrengend zu schauen. Der Ton ist nicht gut und die Interviewerin ist leider nicht besonders.

I’m making ragu a la bolognese for tomorrow’s lasagna. I just stole a few spoons and turned it into a poor man’s chili con carne with some Tabasco and a bit of cumin. Yummy!

Watching the last episode of Shrinking. I’m going to miss this show.

Goodbye Threads. I just disabled cross-posting and deleted the app. I really hoped Meta had turned things around with Threads. But I guess not. There is a reason I avoided Facebook for years.

Just came back from getting a MRI. The surgeon spotted two shadows on my upper arm bone three weeks ago and wanted a closer look. No tumor. Just a calcification. What a load off my shoulders.

Making Crumpets. Crumpets where one of the first UK „treats“ I fell in love with when I first worked in Manchester.

A happy and successful New Year’s everyone! May you be healthy, happy and content.

Also ich bin da ganz bei Robert Habeck muss ich sagen.
