If you have an hour for something interesting (or less at x1,25 speed), here's a nice insight into the topic "Is #Europe falling behind?". Highly recommend listening to it, as it is contrary to all the social media propaganda claiming that the #EU is irrelevant youtu.be/l3fE_WIc52M?...

One good thing about the #cyberpunk future we are already living in is that robots at least don’t hunt us. Yet 💀 #Figure #F.02 youtu.be/pfAh5oQDPDM?...

„It ain’t much, but it’s honest work.” That’s the meme that runs through my head when a friend sends me that screenshot 🦾 #Wsocial

The way companies chase constant growth and the price we all pay for it is somewhat scary. Years ago, I quit buying crap from AliExpress. $0.99 + free shipping got me to the point where I didn’t even remember what I ordered… www.bbc.com/news/article...

Here’s a little #pro-tip for you. One of the most handy, yet severely underrated, #kitchen utensils for me is a small, cheap… marker. No more guessing when I opened that mayo* jar or cough syrup. ____ *- it’s good for you (IYKYK) 😉

Hackerman (yes, that’s a Kung Fury reference). I just found my old LG G6 at the bottom of a drawer, and after cleaning its charging port, I found out it’s booting up. Next I’ve installed Termux and I'm looking for something fun I can do with it.

BTW, on the margin of thinking about the #history of #WorldWarII, for me, there’s always this building, that I often pass by. Now kinda neglected, but once it was someone’s life investment, finished just in time for 6 years of German occupation followed by 45 years of russian one. What a luck…

A little bit over two weeks after the Wehrmacht, the red army also attacked #Poland on September 17, 1939. Let’s not forget #russia had been on the side that started #WorldWarII and its regime achieved results in genocide very similar to those of the Nazis. #history

Alright #WGames. Maybe I’m a little bit behind, but that kinda blew me away. I’ve got a bit of an old iPad (6th gen) that I recently remembered owning. After charging it, I decided to try something fun. I opened the GeForce Now website, and now I’m just playing Mount & Blade II on my old iPad…

If someone doubts that we live in #cyberpunk, propose to them this little intellectual exercise. Go back in time 10–15 years and tell yourself from that era: "We are painting fake buildings onto ships to camouflage them from AI onboard drones." And ask if that's cyberpunk or not. shorturl.at/8pR2c

I highly recommend that you all look at how people in 1900 imagined we would live in 2000. Try to look past the literal images and see the core ideas. Honestly, they’re often almost spot on 🤯 publicdomainreview.org/collection/a... #history #futurology #ScienceFiction

My beginner #Casio collection got a very anticipated piece. After the classic #F-91W, the everyday #AE-1200, and the monster #GA-100, I’ve bought the #MDV-107 “Duro” with a metal bracelet. Don’t even ask me how much my fingers hurt after trying to adjust it… 🥲

87 years ago at 4:23 am, German Panzerzug 3 arrived at the train station in my hometown. It was one of the first places to witness what would later be known as #WorldWarII. Let’s not forget that before that, we let Czechoslovakia fall into Hitler’s hands. #History likes to repeat itself.

I really miss the #cyberpunk -ish vibe of my previous battlestation. Maybe the blue neon hurt my eyes after about an hour, but late-night deployments to production hit different with Billy Idol blasting from the speakers… Hope one day I’ll rebuild it and make it better 🦾

There is a lot of great news about the new #Witcher 3 DLC. But the fact that there won’t be #russian dubbing and it will automatically switch to #Polish… That just made my day 😁 Thx @cdprojektred.com

About #note-taking. I try to keep track of bugs and mistakes we make as a team, as well as the successes we get credit for. I write them down in separate notebooks—black is for bugs, green is for successes 🥲

This umbrella (hand-painted by me) is one of the best conversation starters with random people on the street and in stores. Highly recommended for +10 to charisma and +5 to street ninja style 🥷 #diy

When I was about 10 yo, I bought a set of 5 toy cars. I did it because it contained 2 of my favorites. But the manufacturer's choice was rather unorthodox… Spot the odd one: #Lamborghini Countach, #Dodge Viper, #Ferrari 512, #Ford Escort RS, and #Fiat Cinquecento… Now my daughter plays with them 🙃

School didn't prepare me for many things. Like... taking notes. I've spent time watching videos of people who cosplay #note-taking. I made a mistake following them. So here's my #pro-tip: do it with pen and paper. When it's ready and worth it, rewrite it into a simple app (for me, it's #Obsidian).

I went to a #Slavic festival yesterday. It had a nice vibe, and afterwards there was some proper #ethnic / #folk music. Even with properly recreated X c. clothes 👌🏻

While doing my #genealogy research, I sometimes find some treasures. Here’s a complete set of original documents you got when buying a #Singer sewing machine in 1936, complete with 3 coupons for free repairs. Unfortunately, after I reached out to Singer, they told me that they’re not valid anymore 🥲

A solar #eclipse has a special place in my heart. Not only because I love science, especially astronomy, but it also gives me mystical vibes. And my relationship started during a solar eclipse a couple of years ago ❤️

Yeah. Driving in #Poland is probably the closest experience to being in a war zone without being in one…

„In cyberspace, you know how much The earth ain't learning” How did they know 30 years ago what the internet would look like? Anyway, #Neuromancer is a great novel and song, and I really hope #Apple won’t butcher it. open.spotify.com/track/2cmYB8...

What #AI chatbot do you use? I've chosen #Gemini for 1 simple reason: its connection to other #Google services, especially YT, which allows me generate a short summary from vid. That shows me 1 important thing: we need not just a service, but an ecosystem connecting them all. And anti-monopoly rules

Just a friendly reminder that you have one week until the total solar #eclipse which will be partially visible throughout whole #Europe. There’s still enough time to grab some solar filters from astro shops 🔭 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_e... Seriously. Use those filters. #astronomy

As an archaeologist and #history enthusiast, I must say that researching my family tree brings me a lot of joy - especially when I can go back almost 200 years and uncover interesting facts about relatives scattered over a distance of 600 km, all without leaving my home 🥳

IMHO: we need more #cyberpunk aesthetics ASAP. If I’m going to live in a dystopian future, I’d at least like it to be more eye candy. #Gdańsk

Under my previous post, we mentioned already living in the future. Not everyone is aware that we in 🇵🇱 already got our first funny corporate „war” ( #Biedronka vs. #Lidl). But we also got some true #cyberpunk style corporate legal cases with intense hacking involved: www.ifixit.com/News/112008/...

It’s funny how Elon #Musk was hyped about Cyberpunk 2077, while both the game and the genre ( #cyberpunk ) as a whole are one huge warning sign against people like him and the ideas he stands for. Not the first, nor the last thing that he totally doesn’t get open.spotify.com/track/2u1FWV...

What always gives me goose bumps is that Rutger Hauer passed away in 2019 and Roy Batty, played by him on Blade Runner (1982), died on the fictional 2019 Los Angeles… youtu.be/kTVg5qscAD0?...
