I remember now what I dislike about travelling by train in Germany.

1) almost never seem to be in schedule
2) nothing is communicated in English over loudspeaker

The most stressful part of this journey may be the trains. Two more and I can ride again.

War for profiting

It is important to know who are those who like to win.

According to the Monitor, “Ukraine has become a giant testing ground for #drones from all over the world – the United States, #Germany, #Poland, and other partner countries. Countless new companies are taking shape around the technology; teams of engineers are tinkering on prototypes, trying to clear the Ministry of Defense and NATO checklists of technical requirements, hoping to nail a military contract…Oleksandr Yakovenko, CEO of TAF Drones [said] the company already has four factories spread out across #Ukraine – despite suffering a sabotage attack that destroyed equipment worth $300,000 in July. The bulk of its supplies (90%) come from #China or #Taiwan. The remainder comes from suppliers in #Europe and the #US. ‘We have to create products that are cheaper than the targets,’ he says. ‘Otherwise, we will not win because our #enemy has more resources than our country.’ ”

#UK government records for a parallel-named Piranha Tech company, operating in the Liverpool area on “computer related activities” and “information technology consultancy activities”, indicate the possibility that the #Israel'is and their Ukrainian partners were considering a British company front during their start-up.

I #sampled a #bunch of #YouTubers (in 2019) - Once Upon a #Synth

top

This is a throwback to 2019 when I went to a #synth event in #Germany with a bunch of content #creators and #sampled some of them saying random things into a mic. Then I stitched it all together into a beat using a custom piece of software I wrote. I posted this a while back but the old #video had a long #vlog intro so I figured I'd share just the #music part cause I feel like it got lost in the #noise.

Another asshole on mastodon who got mad about my post about German police attacking a man carrying Jews against genocide.

Supporting police brutality against those protesting against ongoing genocide while crying over lack of free speech for those denying the Holocaust is the lowest I have seen.

Extreme right and so called liberals seems to be united in their fight against Palestinian protesters (as always).
