Every morning on my way to work I pass this "Worldcoin store" and there's a lot of advertising for that scam.
The fuck is going on?

You know that feeling of dread when you've made a bad decision that you'll have to follow up on soon and that's gonna be really fucking horrible?
I signed up to walk 100km within 24 hours next Saturday/Sunday. Because I am a fucking idiot.

I mean he is right in saying that Bluesky basically just follows Twitter's playbook (and it's gonna get weird when funding runs out) but apart from that it's mostly just a lost boy talking.

That Jack Dorsey interview is mostly just a sign that he's not really a serious thinker.

(And if you still follow Aral Balkan, you probably don't want to follow me. Cause if you are OK with his antisemitism and Holocaust relativism I wonder where our common base could ever be)

Because of the EU DSA Google Search pages that contain a map no longer link to Google Maps (at least in Europe). Which I found a bit annoying. So I wrote a quick userscript for browsers to re-add the link:

#Bitcoin supporters love bringing up that the traditional financial system also needs a lot of power. That argument is dishonest though

As someone in software for a while that has been the most surprising thing that Open Source did: In massively increased complexity even for small projects because "that's how Google/Amazon/etc do it".
Yes Amazon does Microservice architectures. They also have a few people for every service that knows the ins and outs. You have a team of 5 that now not only has to understand the problem but juggle dependency chains from here around the moon and back so your React App that should have been plain HTML doesn't fail while showing a basically static page.
You won't grow to Google/Amazon scale. It's fine. Just build a simple solution you can maintain.
Working on React/K8s or whatever is mostly you training yourself on your own dime and time to be a potential hire for some Big tech company that will fire you to juice the numbers at he end of the next quarter.

If you wonder why #Bitcoin went up in the last days:
Tether printed a billion fake US dollars to buy Bitcoin with again. (I do think that the whole "Bitcoin-ETF brings up the price" story is just postrationalization. Might bring in a few bag holders but not in the amount necessary.

@npub1hce…c5cz als padeluun nicht in den Vorstand gewählt wurde/jemand vor ihm reingewählt wurde, der ihm nicht zusagt, drohte er erstens der Person mit Kündigung (ist bei DC angestellt) und mit Auflösung des Vereins (incl. Verlust aller Arbeitsplätze). Erst wollte er einfach "nochmal wählen" bis das Ergebnis passt, dann wurde der Gewählte so unter Druck gesetzt, dass er die Wahl nicht angenommen hast. Am Ende geht's um Macht (mein Verein!!!11) und Geld (Vorstände sind bezahlt)

Es hat Gründe, dass #Digitalcourage häufig despektierlich "padeluun-Versorgungswerk" genannt wird.

@npub13nt…5ulg ah okay. But I'm not gonna pay that much for a screen I don't use every day (since I go to the office a bunch). Plus with Apple you never know if that things works right with a normal machine and my private Laptop is a Linux Thinkpad

@npub1hce…c5cz what's a studio display?

2023-12-07 12:26:51

I'm looking to get a new display for the home office:
4K resolution, thunderbold/usb-c. Current screen is a 27", could be a bit bigger but not a lot.
Any recommendations?

We all know the "free software" vs. the corporate "open source" split. But if the last years showed something it is that only using "freedom" as a fundamental principle isn't doing enough, it's just too limited.
If we want our communities to build software for a "common good" we might need to start thinking about other fundamental values and reframe "FLOSS" into something more goal oriented.
We need to integrate ideas of inclusion and environmentalism, about harm reduction and overcoming internalized colonialism that have shaped so many projects and communities (including to a degree the fediverse).
"Freedom" always sounds good and useful but it's just not enough, it's not tangible enough, to open for being captured by right wing narratives.
