I was in Vienna for a little over 24hrs and am very satisfied with my intake of "süße Mehlspeisen": I had Kaiserschmarrn, Apfelstrudel, and Topfenknödel. I am less satisfied with my coffee intake: I had no Melange, Einspänner or Kapuziner. Gives me yet another reason to come back...

Came across this via Julia Rohrer on Bluesky. Great tool to #checkyourprivileges . Would also be super-interesting to factor in some personal demographic variables. What if you were born male/female or 10 years earlier/later? www.givingwhatwecan.org/birth-lotte…

A screenshot of a webpage with the title "Terminal Wrapped". The first thing visible is a colorful column chart showing terminal usage over time.

A column chart with the title "Your Top Commands in 2025". The chart shows that 'l' is the most used command, followed by 'git status' and 'cd Desktop'.

A chart that shows at what time of day the terminal was used. It shows a distribution of usage across weekday and time of day (0–24 hours). There is a gap between 3 and 10 o'clock and low activity on weekends.
