Marcus Fihlon<p>I&#39;m watching the live stream of <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/DebConf25" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>DebConf25</span></a> and noticed that there is hardly any activity on Mastodon.

Klaus Stein<p>Die Echsen­menschen erhöhen jetzt schon jährlich merklich die Temperaturen, um die mittlere Durchschnitts­temperatur auf den für ihre wechsel­warmen Körper optimalen Werte zu bekommen. Hierzu haben sie das politische System übernommen und sorgen für eine fortwährende Erhöhung des CO₂-Ausstoßes. Wenn wir Warmblüter in einer für uns passenden Welt überleben (d.h. auch Nahrungs­mittel produzieren) wollen, müssen wir sie dringend stoppen!</p><p>Ich dachte mir ich mach jetzt auch mal in Verschwörungs­theorien, wenn das gerade so gut ankommt.</p>

Marcus Fihlon<p>Why engage in industrial spying when you can get everything for free on a train journey? Two rows behind me, two company owners are talking about a takeover offer they have received. In the row in front of me, someone is on the phone with a colleague about the behaviour of an employee. I understand *every word* of both discussions. Nothing is more exciting than a train ride in first class! I&#39;m always amazed at how freely even management employees throw around sensitive information in public...</p>
