  • I have a problem with AI, and you might have it, too

    What a title, eh? Initially, this was supposed to be a short essay for my Gemini capsule (which has nothing to do with the product Gemini, which is, afaik, an LLM), but then I thought, well, why not write this on my after-hours website on tumblr (I need to create a sort of after-hours schedule…

  • I used to call myself a Grafikdesigner, which is German for graphic designer

    Then, when my alma mater changed the name of my degree program from Bachelorstudiengang Grafikdesign to Bachelorstudiengang Kommunikationsdesign, I went through something of a professional identity crisis.

  • You wanna go outside the central finite curve?

    Since I do not want to write the same two lists over and over again, the kind people behind the Firefox browser extensions LeechBlock and uBlacklist made it so that you can use an url for their list of filtered websites. I am someone who struggles with social media websites, their use, and their presence…

  • From my notes: research on self-directedness, social fatigue, value incongruence, and social media

Cloninger, Svrakic & Przybeck (1993) — Psychobiological model of temperament and character. Evidence: The model distinguishes Self-Directedness, Cooperativeness, and Self-Transcendence as separate character dimensions. Self-Directedness concerns purposeful, responsible, goal-directed regulation of behavior; Cooperativeness concerns…

  • Spending the day in my library

    By this point, my library takes up most of the space I have. I am looking forward to applying a new category of books to my Zotero library, an old handheld device serving as an interface for curation. I think I will spend the day going through my library like this, finding art books, books…

  • This will make sense later: Catowls are the reason

    Trust me. It is about not knowing how to draw a catowl. And what YOU can do about that. This will be so cool in a year from now Quelle: Original auf Code & Canvas

  • The laptop is already a cyberdeck

    The laptop is already a cyberdeck

    Amongst other things currently barely understood by most of us due to some sort of mix-up of living in the present, I find it strikingly odd that the cyberdeck is an object of fiction while we seemingly fail to recognize the thing already sitting on our desks and living in our dedicated bags. A laptop…
