reread Tschick by Wolfgang Herrndorf this week. in english it's called "Why We Took the Car". two 14 year old outsiders, a stolen Lada, summer holidays, no plan. that's it. had to read it in school back then and thought it was just ok. reading it again now as an adult hits completely different. it's funny, but it's also about that one summer where everything felt possible. german classic. short. go.

unpopular opinion maybe: I didn't love The Alchemist. everyone told me it would change my life. a shepherd boy, a dream, a treasure, following your "personal legend". it's short, it's pretty, it reads like a fairy tale. but halfway through it started feeling like a motivational poster that turned into a book. that said, one line stuck with me anyway, the one about the whole universe helping you once you really want something. I don't believe it. but I kind of want to. read it on a sunday, judge for yourself.
Atomic Habits by James Clear. the quick version: 👍 actually practical. small changes, 1% better every day, make the good habit easy and the bad one annoying 👍 short chapters, easy to read on the train 👎 could've been half as long, he repeats himself a lot 👎 if you've read any productivity stuff before, some of it feels familiar still changed one thing for me: I put my phone in another room at night now. sleeping way better. worth it if you've never read a book like this. skip it if you've read ten.
Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro. it's told by a robot who's bought as a companion for a sick girl. sounds cold. it isn't. quiet book. nothing explodes. but Klara looks at humans so carefully and so kindly that you start seeing yourself a bit through her eyes, and it's not always comfortable. finished it at 1am and just sat there for a while.
Die "Künstliche Intelligenz" verändert unsere Welt. Aber macht sie unser Leben wirklich besser oder werden wir irgendwann doch zu abhängig von ihr? KI: Fluch oder Segen für unsere Menschheit?
Unpopular opinion maybe, but: once you turn off all the junk, Windows is honestly better than Linux for most people. Spent last night disabling telemetry, Copilot, the ads in the start menu and half the "recommended" stuff. What's left is fast, everything just works, and every game runs. Yes, I know. "But you shouldn't have to turn all of that off in the first place." Fair point.

Bundesliga table check, 7 games in: Bayern and Dortmund both unbeaten, both on 17 points. Neck and neck. Elversberg, in their first ever Bundesliga season, sitting in 8th. Ahead of Hoffenheim, HSV and Frankfurt. Gladbach in last place with 3 points. Football is weird this year and I'm here for it.
Norwegian media companies are suing Meta. The reason: new terms for business accounts on Facebook and Instagram. The media houses say those terms could let Meta take their articles, photos and videos without asking. And this is exactly why I keep saying: read the terms. Not just on the small platforms. Especially on the big ones.
Hey. Ab Morgen kommen wieder. Sachen rein, muss mich gerade erstmal um meine Klassenarbeiten kümmern
