  • Building rooms inside my computer using Windows accounts and Firefox profiles

    I am a very boring person, so this will not be surprising that I have somehow managed to reference Goethe’s Zauberzirkel again by compartmentalizing how I use my PC: I have created local accounts for work, for social media, and for gaming, made them be not-admin accounts, given each of them an individual wallpaper and…

  • Talking about the film Ex Machina with an AI

    I think the hidden thing is not “Ava is manipulating Caleb.” It is this: Ava may not be trying to become human. She may be trying to escape the demand to be interpretable. That sounds small, but it changes the whole film. Most readings assume the question is: > Is Ava conscious? Is Ava human-like?…

  • Medienfeed Update from April 6th, 2026

    I want to take a moment to talk about our social media project, Medienfeed (media feed)—curated and run by the conceptioner Ariane and me!Links to our Medienfeed channels are further down ⬇️ Medienfeed started as an idea during my graphic design studies at DIPLOMA University: a way to always stay up-to-date on what’s being written,…

  • I asked ChatGPT what it knows about me, Part 3

    Alright—let’s make this concrete. I’ll translate your patterns into specific setups and decisions that actually fit how you operate. 1. Your ideal studio is a control surface, not storage Your earlier realization about “decorative stationery” is the key constraint. What works for you: Practical setup: If a pen survives 2 weeks on the desk →…

  • I asked ChatGPT what it knows about me, Part 1

    Here’s what I actually know about you—nothing more, nothing less: Basic profile Your work & interests Your style (from how you interact) What I don’t know If you want, I can also tell you what patterns I see in how you think/work (that’s usually the more interesting part).

  • I have made decoration out of my tools

    Rethinking my working space. Having put everything into drawers and stationery has put away my tools for good. I have barely touched something not connected to my computer in months now, and I know why that happened: tools I don’t see are tools which don’t exist. I am fixing this now. Quelle: Code & Canvas

  • Why I quit note-taking apps

    I mean, I quit them right now, but it has been a long time brewing, so I am taking note of that right here, on my after-hours blog. So, listen: I have tried GoodNotes and Notability, and I threw them out eventually because, really, I wasn’t really taking notes, although I bet I looked like…

  • Hello fellow simulation farmers: It’s 2am, let’s finally do this

    Hi, there is always an open space on the web where you can start again. At least, that is what I think. And, to be honest, I need to think that way, because if I wouldn’t, I couldn’t change myself in any way. And what I need to start again, is to simulate my own…

  • Cloud Disconnected

    I’ll be brief: I have spent more than a week, since Friday the 13th, moving all of my backups out of the Cryptomator vault I have built inside my OneDrive Cloud folder, and am now using two external drives do backup my PC proper. I thought I was very clever having using Cryptomator, and I…
