Made some silly art of my online friends and myself today, redrawing memes or other images I saw online. I love mango. (this is referencing this meme) These are Suliman as purple Keroppi and Mono as a mix of his Jiji icon and Googie....
Personally, I’m open to retrying AI use cases every now and then. I’ve written about it before, and I freely share the fails and wins in chats I am part of. In my case, it’s no use to endorse it based on hype online, nor to try it once...
Inspired by Vaudeville Ghost’s make bad art. I’ve always felt a resistance towards learning how to do art “properly”. Over the course of my life so far, I did occasionally look at short tutorials for some things, or booked one-time art...
As a kid, I got diagnosed with a soy allergy; it caused me to itch everywhere and scratch until it bled, all over the body, and worse. I went through a desensitization process of weekly shots until my symptoms improved and went away....
I use a gamified todo app that I log into daily, and have been using it for almost a year now. The interaction with six of my friends kinda drew me in; we can have goals together, send each other encouraging messages, visit each other in...

I love that I am so passionate about a topic that makes me research and learn so much, that I go to conferences for, that I get newsletters and magazines about. I especially love that I feel so intensely about it that nothing could stop...

Every now and then, Noyb (European Center for Digital Rights) highlights some of their volunteers for their GDPRhub project. Now I got my entry :) Check it out on Mastodon and LinkedIn. Fittingly, one of my translated and summarized...
I remember years ago, especially early on in the pandemic (2020/2021), I was still not diagnosed with my illnesses (Bechterew's disease and Crohn's disease). For a decade at least, I had dealt with a variety of symptoms, most of it...
Data protection, privacy and tech is a very dynamic field; every day, there are new court decisions, actions by big tech companies, and resulting questions, so thought I could share my resources that keep me informed. Unless marked with...
A service promising to protect your privacy is not able to keep you anonymous. Why is that? This distinction is actually really important in data protection and privacy laws. Anonymity is about the inability to link an action, message,...
When talking about using AI for decision-making, you often hear that there will be "human oversight" or "human intervention". One popular example that I have come across in conferences and webinars about data protection law is the hiring...
