Florian 'floe' Echtler @floe.butterbrot.org · 19hCame across a brand-new BMW with the next-gen front grille and now I can't unsee it 🫣 000
Florian 'floe' Echtler @floe.butterbrot.org · 20/09/2026@funnysnarkyjoke.bsky.social That looked to funny to be true, so I tried it myself and yes, it actually works 🤣 000
Florian 'floe' Echtler @floe.butterbrot.org · 13/09/2026Obviously, Trump is massively unpopular right now, across the board - almost. There's four states where he still has a net-positive approval rating, namely Idaho, Wyoming, North Dakota, and West Virginia. Interestingly, three of these are clustered in the […] [Original post on hci.social] 113
Florian 'floe' Echtler @floe.butterbrot.org · 12/09/2026Teams is really *mwah* quality software. Was just booking a meeting and I'm intrigued by the new choice of rooms. I certainly wouldn't mind meeting at a cheese stand in Shibuya, but I do wonder about the travel budget... 🤔 #teams #microsoft #outlook 211
Florian 'floe' Echtler @floe.butterbrot.org · 04/09/2026Oh look, it's Count Binface's little cousin! (Would still vote for him, even a little kitchen thingy would still do a better job than Farage.) #ukpol #binface #farage #reform 071
Florian 'floe' Echtler @floe.butterbrot.org · 01/09/2026Grrrr. 😡 Screw you, Google. This is a sideloaded app that the Play Store should just silently ignore (I sideloaded it in the first place because of some senseless region block, so I can't find it on there anyway). I already tried: - disabling Play Protect - […] [Original post on hci.social] 001

Florian 'floe' Echtler @floe.butterbrot.org · 17/08/2026Did a brief personal style experiment, and can now conclude with absolute certainty that I am NOT a moustache guy. Can barely look at the pictures. 🫣 000
Florian 'floe' Echtler @floe.butterbrot.org · 17/08/2026TIL that TNT wasn't originally developed as an explosive... 🤔 "Hey Julius, I just blew up a house with a bucket of your yellow paint!" "Nice try, Carl, it's not even April 1st yet." "..." #history #histodons 003
Florian 'floe' Echtler @floe.butterbrot.org · 15/08/2026Went through a random underpass in Aalborg and found it plastered with... Bitcoin graffiti? 🤨 This is not something you usually expect to encounter in "the real world"... #bitcoin #crypto 010
Florian 'floe' Echtler @floe.butterbrot.org · 30/06/2026Apparently so many people are "borrowing" milk crates from Arla that they now have started putting "Have you seen them?" ads on the milk cartons 🤭 000
Florian 'floe' Echtler @floe.butterbrot.org · 07/06/2026Tried a fun new little boardgame today: Tacta. Plays quickly, super simple rules (bit a cross between Uno and Domino), 2-6 players. Only downside: you need a _lot_ of table space and non-clumsy players. We lacked both 😅 8/10. #boardgames #nanoreview 240
Florian 'floe' Echtler @floe.butterbrot.org · 05/05/2026Me, trying to think of a Startrek-Starwars mashup meme for May 4th: 🤔 Star Wars fans: 🤦 #MayThe4thBeWithYou #starwars #starwarsday #gimp #noai 020

Florian 'floe' Echtler @floe.butterbrot.org · 14/03/2026The parliamentary election is coming up in Denmark, which means that every tree and street light is plastered with election posters. I just found the most underhanded and simultaneously content-free of them all: dude with puppy. 🐶🙄 (I'd vote for the puppy, but […] [Original post on hci.social] 000
Florian 'floe' Echtler @floe.butterbrot.org · 26/02/2026Some deep and serious conversations with the teenager today 🤔 #parenting 000
Florian 'floe' Echtler @floe.butterbrot.org · 16/02/2026There are a few cm of ice on the Limfjord, and I just saw the most cobbled-together DIY icebreaker ever: Yes, that's a backhoe. Kudos. #Aalborg 000

Florian 'floe' Echtler @floe.butterbrot.org · 26/01/2026BTW, that's Antarctica, not Greenland, and I fully support sending Trump there without a hat and just a regular coat 🥶👍 010
Florian 'floe' Echtler @floe.butterbrot.org · 10/01/2026Apparently, there is one person who co-authored 37 papers for #chi2026 😑 This is rather ridiculous, what sort of contribution per paper can you expect here? Probably time for a cap on how many papers you can be author on. /cc @sigchi […] [Original post on hci.social] 143

Florian 'floe' Echtler @floe.butterbrot.org · 19/12/2025PSA: winter holidays start today, so don't forget to take the kids' lunch boxes out of their schoolbags, or be prepared to dispose of a level 3 bioweapon in two weeks 🫣 #parenting 008
Florian 'floe' Echtler @floe.butterbrot.org · 15/12/2025Undated find from my random picture folder, enjoy 😁 (might have been at University of Regensburg a bunch of years ago?) 001
Florian 'floe' Echtler @floe.butterbrot.org · 12/12/2025My 2nd-year students sent me a code snippet to review... I'm not super familiar with the express.js framework they've been using, but I do think little Bobby Tables might like to have a word 😈 #infosec #sql 000
Florian 'floe' Echtler @floe.butterbrot.org · 18/11/2025WER WAR DAS? !!?!11elf! 👿 Mein innerer Schwob ist traumatisiert 😭 #bayern #food #allgaeu 011
Florian 'floe' Echtler @floe.butterbrot.org · 13/11/2025OK, what the hell? This sounds like the worst case of bullshit bingo I've ever heard, that's basically the last three hype cycles combined?! I doubt this sort of thing will get a lot of traction on the Fediverse. 🙄 010
Florian 'floe' Echtler @floe.butterbrot.org · 09/11/2025It's been a while since I posted my personal collection of weird #HCI papers: floe.butterbrot.org/matrix/rants/we… Any good stuff from the last 1-2 years I missed? Bring on the crazy 😁 010
Florian 'floe' Echtler @floe.butterbrot.org · 08/11/2025Oh damn, my laptop has started to inflate 😳 The lid doesn't quite close anymore because the battery is pushing the keyboard up. This is fine. 🫣 000
Florian 'floe' Echtler @floe.butterbrot.org · 27/10/2025Absolutely couldn't dissuade the kid from spending 30 bucks of their own money on a Minecraft fox lamp, but I have to admit it's damn cute 🦊 #minecraft #parenting 001
Florian 'floe' Echtler @floe.butterbrot.org · 21/10/2025Time to write the last CHI reviews, so I'm putting on my R2 hat 😈 #chi2026 #academia #Reviewer2 @sigchi 000
