Someone recently complained about all the taxes we pay. I said: "well, our social system want's to be paied, too. But okay, let's lower the taxes - which kind of services are you willing to give up?" He responded with several services that OTHERS benefit from. I let him talk and then said: "nono, what are YOU willing to give up, not what you want to take away from others? I mean, we want less taxes, so we give away sth" ... and then there was silence. I think he got the point.

'Minimalismus' #FotoVorschlag I took this during a winter hike when I entered the fog on the ground. There's hardly anything on the photo - but that's what I like about it. It is calming to me #monochrome #photography #Winter #snow

'Alte oder besondere Bäume' #FotoVorschlag 'old or special Trees' This #tree was really special to me. I saw it on a winter / snowshoe hike. I was just at the right place at the right time so that the it was backlit and just so impressive. One of the best #winter moments I experienced. Enjoy #photography #wandern #treesofmastodon

#FotoVorschlag 'Gegenlicht' I drove to this spot a couple of times during the year. That day, I didn't know what to expect either but I was just right in time to have the sun rising over the #mountains and the #fog on the lake. Just 15 min later, the fog had vanished - and I was just glad for the experience I made. #photography

It's #WaterfallWednesday and this one came to my mind. You might see a nice waterfall. I spent 3h there. Really! In hindsight I didn't know where all the time went but I enjoyed seeing the #waterfall from all kinds of angles and shutter speeds. 3h very well invested livetime. #photography #landscapephotography #bayern

#mountainMonday ! Unfortunately not a recent photo but one that's quite a while ago. Before my wife had 2 knee issues. But maybe we can go there again soon. As you can see, the landscape there is A BLAST! I totally love the area #mountains #hiking #photography #karwendel #nature #naturparkkarwendel

I wanted to post mountain photos more regularly again! So here's one trail from last year where I started really early to avoid the heat. It was a hike that I did alone and met just like ... 2 or 3 people. Oh and I was glad to have a water filter with me! I spotted a spring on my way up and - knowing that I'd come pack to it later - I didn't have to use my water sparingly. Enjoy! #hiking #mountainMonday #alps #alpen #nature #wandern

Hate “The Algorithm?” RSS Is One of the Tools You’ve Been Looking For RSS is one of the best examples we have of the open web, where we can design and customize how we experience the internet, not the other way around. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/06/hate-algorithm-rss-one-tools-youve-been-looking

Hate “The Algorithm?” RSS Is One of the Tools You’ve Been Looking For

Since at least the moment Facebook introduced (and apologized for) its News Feed, “the algorithm” has been shorthand for the ways the tech giants control what we see and when we see it. In the age of enshittification, there is a push to reclaim our feeds and networks. Good news: there’s a tool that’s been around for decades that can help wrangle many of your feeds into something manageable: Really Simple Syndication, more commonly known as RSS.

Just another place we visited in the Fränkische Schweiz. We just walked along a little stream and suddenly passed through this rock-gate with all the lush green on either side.

Just beautiful.

During our vacation recently, I tried to practice more foreground and composition for .. not for documenting our vacation, but to capture more a feeling that I had at this moment.

This is one of the photos. Here it felt "better" to me to set the focus to the red poppies because at this moment, they just drew more attention as we were walking towards the gate.

More of this day:

If you see em-dashes in my texts, you can be sure that I wrote that part of the text on my computer where I know that ALT+0151 makes an emdash.

Whilst on mobile I just don't find a way to do it ... 🤔

I now have disclosed my em-dash secret

Neulich hat mir jemand gesagt, wir hätten kein #Grundwasser - / Trinkwasserproblem in #Bayern. Daher mal beim @lfu.bayern.de nachgeschaut, um eine Meinung auch mit Fakten zu prüfen:

  • kein Niedrigwasser: 55 (28%)
  • niedrig: 39 (20%)
  • sehr niedrig: 98 (49%)
  • neuer Niedrigstwert: 6 (3%)

Bei 28% der Messstellen stimmt das ja immerhin - noch. Ob man das jetzt als "Problem" klassifiziert, bleibt natürlich jedem/r selber überlassen.

The water level at the reservoir to which I'm usually cycling (also in the evening) is now so low that fish have to be rescued from isolated "pockets" of water.

The water level is now 5m below summer-average ... the last time I've seen that was when the level was lowered by intent for some improvements & repair. Now it's "simply" a lack of rain ... We need some rain very soon ...

RE: @ketan@climatejustice.social

OH WOW

"Last year China installed more than half of all wind and solar added globally. In May alone, it added enough renewable energy to power Poland, installing solar panels at a rate of roughly 100 every second."

RE: https://sunny.garden/@Hester/116877729432679570 When starting on #Mastodon / #Fediverse, the absence of an algorithm is a pain. As soon as one gets the beauty of browsing through one's network and hashtags and likes and boosts, this pain is gone.. Like suddenly I browse to Hester who is crosstitching and living together with a cat.. I'm pretty sure, no algorithm would have brought me there, but browsing through that timeline brought some joy in the morning. If you want to answer, please no hate against other platforms.

Hester has Hobbies
@Hester@sunny.garden
Hello everyone! I'm Hester and I have hobbies. Quite a lot of them. I'm into #writing, #reading, #crochet, #linocut printing, #zine making and at the moment I am mostly #CrossStitching I'm fairly new to #crossstitch and to mastodom, so I'm trying to find my feet. This is it for my #introduction so far. If you have questions or any tips about mastodon, I'd love to hear from you! I hope you have a lovely day.

Something that I wrote a year ago: "But – wasn’t the word-wide-web designed to be a … web? Where links connect sites & information? I’m sad to say: The big players have succeeded to destroy a part of this ideology by creating walled platforms. And we happlily followed. 😭" https://www.locked.de/mastodon-is-how-the-web-should-be-open/ I'm happy that I got here for the freedom.

@AllwissendeMuellhalde@norden.social @Moorknipser@norden.social Gibt schon verschiedene Sonnencremes. Manche bleiben schmieriger als andere. Ich bin beim Wandern auch immer eingecremed. Trotz dunklerem Hauttyp sind 5-8h an der Sonne im Sommer einfach zu viel. Ich hab auch ab und zu ein helles, langärmliges Wanderhemd an. Das ist super dünn und liegt nicht eng an. Dadurch staut sich da auch keine Wärme. Verkauft wurde es aber auch "nur" mit SPF 25, aber zumindest bei praller Sonne ist es mit Ärmel nicht wärmer als ohne.
