Move your body more. Join groups. Create something or make art. Meditate.

Germany is not heading toward a Trump style regime. The big Conservative Party CDU has not forming a coalition with the AfD as a rule. The other parties will also do everything to keep AfD from power. Of course that doesn’t mean this can’t change. The current political climate is still favorable to the AfD and they are able to consolidate and expand their operations and supporters.

The AfD is big and has success in elections both local and federal. However there are internal factions, that don’t fully agree. A national-libertarian-conservative wing faces a völkisch neo-fascist wing. The AfD has not found their great charismatic leader like Trump yet. It could fracture as well.

The next federal elections are in four years. The current government has to be able to present some major achievements in the areas of cost of living, migration, and especially the economy. An end to the wars in Ukraine and Gaza would also help.

Even if the AfD becomes the biggest party in the next federal elections, a government of national unity or a minority government is more likely.

Institutions and laws in Germany are designed to prevent a fascist takeover. Of course this is no guarantee.

There’s also an ongoing attempt at making the AfD an illegal organization opposed to the state. A success there would mean it would have to disband and couldn’t participate in elections.

The political climate in Germany is more polarized than it used to be, but it’s not at US levels.

It’s not just funding. It’s also indirect support with propaganda on social media.

It’s not easy, but it’s simple.

Back in the late 1990s internet providers gave you an email address and some web space to host your own page.

For some people feet being gross is what turns them on. Anything taboo or disgusting triggers emotions, which can be channeled sexually.

Raw egg right into my mouth.

Start with designing a physical card or board game. Play test it until it’s fun.

For artwork practice drawing on paper.

For writing write stories and dialogue.

Make or choose some music.

Use the above to make a video.

Java has been running serious server software since the mid 1990s. Think WebObjects running on Solaris. Lots of business stuff with big databases still run infrastructure like that.

Java still has the big advantage of being machine agnostic. No need to recompile for ARM or Intel.

 

Blog post criticizing the upcoming Apple UI changes with Liquid Glass.

 

Apple love to preach "the UI gets out of the way of your content" with each new redesign, but how true is that in practice? Let's compare the total height of the Safari UI with a toolbar, favourites bar and tab bar visible, across the three latest Mac OS design languages – Yosemite, Big Sur and now Tahoe. I've added a red line for emphasis.

It sure looks to me like the UI is eating more into my content with each redesign.
