Do you remember “I am a Mac, I am a PC” ? It’s been more than 20 years now … and I thought, it’s even older. Do you know how many clips Apple aired back then? You’d be surprised, I bet. The answer is provided by this video. Worth watching ! https://youtu.be/iBof-aNaDa0

Not convinced yet? One more thing : this is called a „Instagram wallpaper“. I❤️London
What I like so much about London is the complete lack of a sense of reality. 🇬🇧 Example : ATM Really?
You are right. There is a niche option to donut like this - introduced in 7.somehting. But it breaks almost anything, so I don’t use it. But it looks great, indeed !
Gert Jan Kraaijeveld@gjkr65.bsky.social · 2w agoI always have thought that pipes have to be at the end of the preceding line. I like it though.
I've been working on a personal URL shortener. Using the free services from Cloudflare (Pages), GitHub (repo) and simple redirects, I've created something that is both simple and highly functional. Want to give it a try? Try "butz.io/42".
Das beste kommt zum Schluss? Vielleicht ... Bei der @psconf.eu in Wiesbaden moderierte ich gemeinsam mit Raimund Andree den Workshop "Reverse AI-ngineering". Da kann ich direkt mal meinen neuen, grandiosenen URI-Shortener präsentieren: Slides, demo code, Video findet man hier: butz.io/psconfeu26

Finally, the beloved #PoShaKucha sessions from Wiesbaden 2026 are online. You find them in the #psconfeu YT channel. We also have a complete YT playlist for all 20x20 recordings. A complete overview cann also be found here: github.com/thorstenbutz... www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

PoShaKucha is a play on words derived from the term "PoSh" (for PowerShell) and "Pecha Kucha". A Pecha Kucha is an entertaining storytelling format, in which...

Same is true for modules. I compAILe them with a Glympse of an eye. But naming lasts for days. Example: How do you call a Cmdlet that deals with YT playlists? Find-, Search-, Get-Playlist ? The last one seems to fit until you see the necessity of: Get-YouTubePlayListItem
Example : What’s a good umbrella term for all things you published - from videos to articles to books etc? Preferable a term that also works in different languages. AI might tell you „contributions“. Sounds a bit stiff. No comparable term in German. So you spent hours to thing about this.
For years I wanted to update my website and make it static. Never found the time … so, let it wing … Now that AI makes eat suuuuper comfortable, I found out: it still takes a lot of time, to IMPROVE it, since improvements are so easy now - but time consuming. #firstworldproblems

One day, I’d love to give a speech on the topic: „How dare you, MSFT?“ For some unknown reason, nobody has shown any interest in this so far.

I really like @warp.dev and I just renewed my Pro plan at $180 for 2500 monthly credits. But next renewal it jumps to $216/mo and drops credits to 1500. I'll have to part ways with it then. It's like having a race car that I can't afford to fill the gas tank anymore.
