Martin Seeger @Masek@octodon.social

A quick note that I'm seeing some oddness on other social media accounts, which may indicate attempts to quiet me down.

I've got a number of presences in a number of places.

@skk Heads-up in the event you see flags or reports against my profile.

North Korea calls Trump 'bereft of reason'. I tend to belief them. They know a lot about such problems with leaders.

@kensanata Es ist ein Film zum Zurücklehnen und den optischen Eindruck geniessen. Das kann jeder SF-Fan. Die Story hat Verbesserungspotential, aber ich würde in einen Teil 2 ohne zu Zögern rein gehen....

I would not say that there is nothing to criticize with that movie.... there is (e.g. the handling of the romantic arc, main villain being unconscious most of the time).

But it seems to me very unfair that an unimaginative x-th generation reboot like "Kong" gets a better rating.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets

Just coming back from the cinema and I am bit surprised about the negative feedback Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is getting.

Acting is OK, the plot is straight and (as expected) the visuals are absolutely stunning and off the charts. Especially the richness and consistency of the design is beyond everything I have seen lately.

If you watch this movie (which I recommend), pick the cinema with biggest and best screen you can get to.

It is surprising how easily people fold when they have to take 10% of what they deal out....

CNN was a lot more gentle with that idiot than he deserves and still he cries out about the pressure on him.

You will have, if you're lucky, 500,000 conscious hours in this Universe: 85 years, 2/3 spent awake.
How much of that time can you devote to others?

2 people: 250k hours each.
20: 25k
200: 2.5k
2,000: 250
20,000: 25 -- just over a day.
200k: 2.5
2 million: 15 minutes. Andy Warhol's truism is Small World only.
20 m: 1.5 minutes
200 m: 9 seconds
2 billion: 0.9 seconds
8 billion: 0.225 seconds

If someone devotes a quarter second to you, you're getting more than your share.

@paolo I am referring to it as it seems ironic to me that a company of country A has such a backdoor but country A publicly fears country B would implement such.

Define Irony:

On the day after it became known that an U.S. AV created a backdoor on nearly every PC worldwide....

@Hamiller I contacted taxi.de (which seems to be a real company) since the URL points to one of their servers. Guess they may have visitors they don't know about....

*World Press Freedom Day 2017*

My daily newspaper just came with a blank first page to remind me of World Press Freedom Day 2017. More than 50% of what I was sent was advertisement. I am afraid, the irony was not intended.....

@kensanata It was only the home automation log (about 4 million entries). I have more luck than I deserve as all the scripts (this is where I put the work) survived.

@kensanata Nur sind 9 Monate Daten leider weg :-(

@kensanata Es wandert gerade auf den VMware-Server im Rack mit richtigen Platten ;-)
