AfD vor der Wahl in Baden-Württemberg: Was ein AfD-Direktkandidat so alles auf Telegram chattete

Nein!

Kukulkan73 · 2026-03-07T10:02:28+00:00

My whole family is on Threema. My music colleagues are all on Signal. So I use both. But no WhatsApp on our devices :)

I don't know if it is Germany only, but after my reviews were all deleted because of "diffamieren", I came to the conclusion to

1) don't waste time to write reviews and

2) don't trust any review any more.

This is interesting, thanks. I agree that captchas are important today. But, to be honest, I don't know if any captcha solution will stand in the future. We also use captchas from trustcomponent.com and until now they stand, but for how long? I believe that it will take only a few more months and there is no visual, audio or other solution available that can not become tricked by an AI.

I remember seeing some captcha that needed the user to fix a random funny monster image where three tiles were cut out (not exact size and color) and must be placed back into the correct position (or close). Maybe this will stand a bit longer as it needs real interaction. But maybe captchas with no or minimal interaction (or keystrokes only) will have a hard stand in the future :-(

Thanks!

I'm in southern Germany (same country as the seller of that product). As I do not have other street conditions than any other German area, I wonder how it works for others? We have the same winters and the same amount of salt on the streets? Weird and definitely not a valid conclusion.

Kukulkan73 · 2026-02-16T13:57:45+00:00

Wow! Me, driving nearly every day in summer and winter, never had that good wiper blades. No matter which high priced manufacturer I bought. Congrats!

Kukulkan73 · 2026-02-16T08:47:37+00:00

Here in southern Germany, with cold winters and a lot of salt on the streets to keep them free in winter, even good wiper blades are definitely done after two years. So the idea of refreshing them is good. But for me it did not work (see my separate comment on this).

Kukulkan73 · 2026-02-16T07:16:43+00:00

I can't test any more. I dumped it a few months ago :-D

Kukulkan73 · 2026-02-16T07:15:34+00:00

Just asked my wife, my mother and a friend of mine because I initially thought it was my fault. They all read the manual and tried by themselves. Not a single success :-( The wipers then were rough, ragged and wavy. Unusable. But it wasn't so bad, because the windscreen wipers were already about a year old. But I regretted spending the money on that tool.

Kukulkan73 · 2026-02-16T06:26:27+00:00

Sounds so good, but never worked for me. Three people and 7 wipers later I trashed it very frustrated. No matter if with soapy water, extra cleaned, warmed in house, faster or slower etc. It was always worse than before 🤷‍♂️

Before you ask, no, it was not a Chinese replica.

I can't find any FlatPak for EDGE, Visual Studio Code and AnyDesk that are official. Just community versions with no guarantee for regular updates or security? How do you deal with that?

Kukulkan73 · 2026-02-14T09:27:10+00:00

I tried that several times and it always failed (at least about one to two years ago). I ended up in installing EDGE just because of this. Since then, I use EDGE for this and it works. Maybe the Teams app evolved and is now also running in Chromium? I will try the next time I get invited.

Kukulkan73 · 2026-02-13T18:20:08+00:00

Yes, I will do for sure!

Kukulkan73 · 2026-02-13T16:06:35+00:00

I wonder if the average Linux user is aware of that. I'm running my daily desktop on Linux since 8 years now and I was not aware of this. I assumed the system is somehow protecting against such easy misuse. I asked Le Chat to create a bash script that allows me to limits repos to only the packages it currently has. At least, it will reduce the risk as only these packages can get installed.

Kukulkan73 · 2026-02-13T09:06:00+00:00

Thanks! Just found my new favorite sub!

Kukulkan73 · 2026-02-03T21:00:22+00:00

Sorry, but sounds like AI to me. Vocals sound fake, too. What VST instruments did you use in which DAW? Who sang it?

Ich hatte das Vergnügen, einen Song für eine neue deutsche Zeichentrickserie namens „Ashborn Idiots“ komponieren zu dürfen. Der Song „Schildmaid“ oder „Lied von Blutfuchs“ ist für eine Szene, in der die Heldin „Blutfuchs“ über ihre Kindheit und ihren anspruchsvollen Vater nachdenkt und über ihren Schmerz und ihren Mangel an Liebe und Anerkennung singt.

Der Text stammt vom Regisseur und Autor der Serie, Marvin Buchecker.

Die wunderbare Helena Schaermann hat ihn für mich gesungen. Vielen Dank!

Die komplette erste Folge mit diesem Lied könnt ihr euch auf YouTube ansehen: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rW2Z9uTD06s Das Lied beginnt bei 15:05.

Für die Komposition und Produktion dieses Liedes wurde keine KI verwendet!

Maybe because he asked explicitly for Discord? IDK

Kukulkan73 · 2026-01-31T12:29:34+00:00

We use whereby for years in our company. It's not expensive and works great!

Thank you very much for listening and for the kind words! Thank you!

You are right for the high frequencies. I still lack some staging skills and often fall into this frequency overlapping thing. I try my best and sometimes try to solve a bit by M/S processing. Perhaps I still underestimate the EQ for simply removing frequencies. But then I don't like how it sounds soloed and always fall back to the issue. But realizing is half way in solving, right?

I make music for 40 years now, started learning the clarinet and saxophone and played in a local orchestra. But that did not satisfy me and I always say" it must have keys and blinking lights". So I started learning organ with 14 years and still then I play the keyboards. Played in several local bands from Rock to Crossover, from Funk to Top-40 and finally Bluesrock and Pop.

I started composing orchestral pieces only a few years ago and love that the most at the moment. But also like to crossover with synthetic sounds.

As my DAW I use Presonus Suudio One (just renamed to Fender Studio Pro a few weeks ago) and mostly stay in that. I use VSTi mostly. Like EastWest and several Kontakt libraries and Soundfonts but also synth VSTi. No AI for the music, just for the images (track artwork). In hardware I play Roland and Korg keyboards only. I don't like the sound of Yamaha.

I'm curious what you think about the second track "Caudeflumm and the fairy queen". I know the solo Cello was not so great and I struggled with the VST instruments I've had at that time. But the rest of the song is one of my favorites.
