Okay the move is done (for now) I'm now located in Berlin. So if you're into #flutter, #tech, #food or just have a good vibe. Hit me up! I know already a couple of good places, but I'm of course open for suggestions.

My new laptop has an NPU 🤖 Naturally, I had to try running an LLM locally. Now I’m wondering — apart from privacy 🔒, what use cases would a local LLM be better for compared to a cloud one?
🎮 Yesterday I attended an indie game dev meetup in Amsterdam! 🖥️ Loved seeing how tech and storytelling come together 🚀
I need to get a new phone, and somehow I don't want any of the available ones. Makes me wonder what a Linux phone by @tuxedocomputers.bsky.social or @blog.system76.com.web.brid.gy would look like. I mean I'd buy that! #LinuxPhone #Linux
It's been a few months, and I'm quite happy with it. 8/10 Stars

When people from 🇦🇹, 🇩🇪 or 🇨🇭 ask me:"Have you adjusted to living in the Netherlands?". My answer is:"I can walk by that sign without laughing!" To all non German speakers: "Huren" is the dutch word for renting. But has a very different meaning in German!
Hey guys! Straight away this post is not for everyone. 🐧But if you use Dart/Flutter and you run Linux then give me 5 minutes of your time. I'm 99% sure you won't regret it, otherwise I can reimburse you with a cookie 🍪 #Flutter #Linux #DartLang medium.com/@ben.auer.de...
