I‘m old enough to remember when Early Black Friday was called “November”.

Luxemburg hat bislang alles im Griff. 😁 #LUXGER

“Meeting detected!! Let’s start transcribing AI Meeting Notes!!“

No thanks, Notion, I’m just listing to Aesop Rock via my audio interface … 😂 (Fantastic album btw! 👉 https://aesoprock.com/collections/i-heard-its-a-mess-there-too)

[Quits Notion ¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

Huuuge #btconf FOMO today …… enjoy your time in Berlin, everyone! 🤗💚🎉 Cheers!

Spent the whole afternoon calculating a quite complex project proposal … AMA! 🤪
(At least the music was good – and it’s satisfying to reach that moment when it looks more or less complete 😅)

Really enjoying the latest Wolf Alice album at the moment. Beautiful production and mixing as well. Just really good music overall! 👏😊

I‘m implementing a #GDPR-compliant #cookie #banner at the moment – and will write a #blogtober post about it – but now I’m curious: which (ideally open-source) solution are you swearing by or is working for you? Of course it should block all requests/cookies before consent is given.
