Was Bernie Sanders macht ist einer der wichtigsten strategischen Punkte, die Linke machen müssen: nicht nur „Fight Fascism“ sondern auch „Fight Oligarchy“. Die Verbindung muss viel klarer werden, auch in der öffentlichen Debatte.

It is now 3 years since the start of the Russian military invasion of Ukraine where lots of my relatives & friends live. Thank you all who support Ukraine defend itself against the relentless attacks! Shame on those who try to destabilize, weaken or even extort a country under existential threat. 🇺🇦

Eventually got someone complaining that I ask Trump and far right supporters to not use the software I write on my free time, evenings, nights and weekends (JSol'Ex). He finds my statement inappropriate. My answer below.

I feel so sick. Enough with the lies, enough with the games. They know exactly what they're doing. This is a neo-Nazi movement. Proudly so. The only reason they've kept it coded up until now was to take advantage of those who didn't want to believe it. No more looking away. Face up to what it is.

Für meine geschätzten deutschen Follower: Die @dielinkebt.bsky.social überzeugt: - durch das Wahlprogramm überzeugt hinsichtlich fehlender Finanzierungslücken. - Personen mit Realitätsnahen Lebensläufen - keiner Gefahr einer Koalition mit CDU Und regierungsbereit? Wird sich ergeben.

Das hier ist gemeint mit meinem vorigen Post: Den Grünen traut man gemeinsame Sache mit Merz zu, der gemeinsame Sache mit der AfD machen wollte – und, bei seiner fehlenden Impulskontrolle, womöglich wieder machen würde.

gegen die linke schießen ist natürlich sehr viel einfacher als sich die frage zu stellen warum man als vermeintlich linke partei diese wählerschaft nicht abholt.

“Random American dude visiting Germany demands random shit parties work together” Can we just stop such news? Let those guys bubble all they want. Demand my ass, the last time I checked there’s nothing to demand from an independent country. Applies to national randos too ofc.

I had lots of fun talking about my early days as a dev, how I caused double credit bookings all over Germany, stopped smoking to survive long GraalVM meetings and how to heat the room with Java inception. Already looking forward to part 2.

What a nice talk about stored / user defined procedures in databases. You know, I am old dude, and I have been doing this early 2000s… Than all of sudden everyone and their father told us "you are wrong" and that knowledge got rolled back www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpgV...

Well done, #Aachen. www.aachen.de/DE/stadt_bue... 'Aachen steht für Vielfalt und Demokratie. Eine Plattform, die von der Antidiskriminierungsstelle des Bundes als "eine Art rechtsextreme Desinformations- und Propagandaplattform“ bezeichnet wird, ist mit diesen Werten nicht vereinbar.'

I just added announcements of our @neo4j.bsky.social JDBC driver to our slack with just 9 lines of config for @jreleaser.org calling a Slack webhook: github.com/neo4j/neo4j-... The convention for the env variable for the hooks just works, too: github.com/neo4j/neo4j-... Super nice.

Die Linke könnte auch dank TikTok nun doch die 5% Hürde schaffen: „Ihre Wutrede gegen Merz im Bundestag wird laut der Linken in nur einer Woche fast 30 Millionen Mal angeschaut. „Heidi Reichinnek hat gerade mehr Reichweite als alle anderen Parteien zusammen“, sagt ein Grüner anerkennend.“
