Meine Social‑Media‑Beiträge – offen und ohne Anmeldung

  • Due to the world’s toughest internet laws, running a service which posts the best graphic design articles in Germany is not an easy thing to do.

    Things like self‑hosting, reposting on your own domain, and so on are absolutely out of the question, unless you are really keen on testing out the limits of your (legal) budget.

    So we slowly started rebuilding our project grafikdesignfeed using freshrss, ifttt, buffer and free socials.

    The logic is as follows:

    freshrss gathers all kinds of rss‑feeds, we favorite the articles we think are cool, these get sent to IFTTT where an applet takes these favorites, sends them to a buffer account which sends these favorites to (as of now) our account on Bluesky and our account on X (we are working on more socials as well, but that takes time; not work, just time, so we are waiting) and that is the whole machine called grafikdesignfeed.

    We are doing this because we want to provide a service to the German‑speaking part of the (not only graphic) design world, and because we really like building useful little machines like this one.

    Who knows, maybe you like using our machines as well?

  • I am not here (or on any social media account anywhere) to market myself, to build an audience, no, none of that stuff. I am here to get into chats with other people, like

    oh cool, you did that, this is what I did while you were doing your thing. You know?

  • Yeah, I want to build my own stuff here, there, everywhere. I like to talk shop, mostly #graphicdesign, with a special interest in #PDF­s, and what they are capable of, I am into video games, and solo and solo‑ish #TTRPGs lately, and I want to be an illustrator. Let’s party #asca

  • I have talked to so many people who told me about growth mindset, and baby, did they always ever talk like a star to his audience.
    People are reaaaaally not all there, they need you, we need each other, but all they can do is put on the facade of already being there #asca

  • Spent a very hot afternoon in the city of two rivers working on my website’s privacy policy: where it is hosted, which CMS it uses, if the plugins should be explained in terms of user privacy.

    I even went so far to ask ChatGPT (which I used to figure this thing out more easily: to be honest, privacy policy in Germany is not just opaque, there are whole industries thriving in this well‑kept opacity) about mentioning the privacy policies of the individual social media providers I am linking to, even if I don’t host their content (mine, actually, but you know what I mean) on my website.

    Doing all of this makes me realize a thing even more: this is serious. I am clearly not a “Liebhaber”, that is, an amateur in this game. I am building my own enterprise here.

    If I would’ve continued to treat the privacy policy as something to be solved later, most likely by overpaying someone for what is a glorified text generator, I would not feel this accomplishment right now.

    Thank you, Germany. You really tried to filter me there 😉

    And you know what? Somehwere while putting this together, it felt like putting together a manual of sorts for my website. And that felt really nice.

    Like now nice it’ll feel to put this laptop away from me, because that damn thing is not exactly cooling me down.

    Went back to reading one of my study books, imported it into my Goodnotes so I can make notes

    It is very hot today in Mannheim, so I am thankful for the AC next to me.
