Thanks to my new DFF grant, I&#39;m now looking to hire a PhD student to join me at AAU in Aalborg 🇩🇰 to work on &#34;usable decentralization&#34;, i.e. on making distributed and federated cloud services accessible to the everyday user. For more details, see link below, and please don&#39;t hesitate to DM me with questions!<br/><br/><a href="https://www.vacancies.aau.dk/phd-positions/show-vacancy/vacancyId/895183">https://www.vacancies.aau.dk/phd-positions/show-vacancy/vacancyId/895183</a><br/><br/>#HCI #academia #getfedihired #decentralization #AAU #Aalborg #Denmark 2026-02-02T12:29:39Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsdg7yfygp8hrvjtx2z3lx0uf9az2gupahd8euy6skt2vcn08lt9gszyr2rj7uud48w7ecw9d4stqlzucqv93qjp5xh9gf9hkwwy9ku8dfqyfrjtfw In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsp8w8yvkerty3srx9a7x8eqnh3nqwdxygh8f990sctadsycxep7gguug2dg'>nevent1q…g2dg</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Is <a href="https://fed.brid.gy/">https://fed.brid.gy/</a> maybe the right thing here?

Dear Fediverse #retrocomputing folks, I&#39;ve been looking for a SPARCstation IPX or IPC for quite some time; anyone around who&#39;d be willing to sell one? Preferably within Europe (I&#39;ve found one offer on eBay, but it would be from the US and I don&#39;t have any confidence in overseas shipping right now.) RT for reach, please 🤞<br/><br/>P.S. I&#39;d be even happier about a SPARCstation IPC or SLC, but those are literal unobtanium 😭<br/><br/>P.P.S. LX/SPARCclassic (any lunchbox) also fine 👍<br/><br/>#sun #sparc 2025-09-14T07:33:31Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs224hfwc04sh6d2r3n49x9hvw6yw27qhxfqpmw6awganq86k0dg6qzyr2rj7uud48w7ecw9d4stqlzucqv93qjp5xh9gf9hkwwy9ku8dfqypt56sg Had to use Word 365 today and found out that when you type a non-ASCII character like ø or ä, it will just ignore everything else you type after it and actually discard the whole rest of the sentence once you press Enter. 🤯<br/><br/>IT&#39;S 2025 GODDAMNIT THE EIGHTIES CALLED AND WANT THEIR ENCODING PROBLEMS BACK. 🤬<br/><br/>#microsoft #office 2025-08-21T07:28:46Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsyrzpk2tcjsm2vpn9mes4nspmkhhzj88qwrhzje7m7vfv5938swggzyr2rj7uud48w7ecw9d4stqlzucqv93qjp5xh9gf9hkwwy9ku8dfqyjygdpy In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs2zw7ar5shdygcx3fuffwd5s47wkz3yjsrptmq3y3ukn5jt72fdtssycs0e'>nevent1q…cs0e</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Problem is, if the Idiot croaks, then you&#39;ll get Vance, and he might arguably be even more dangerous... 😬 2025-08-03T21:15:22Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsgmmvn4s502tnqapqd3kkqe7mvny6pssag67qtpwl3n9p5j86sypczyr2rj7uud48w7ecw9d4stqlzucqv93qjp5xh9gf9hkwwy9ku8dfqyf2wu2t The kid was sitting mesmerized in front of their computer for at least an hour thanks to this randomly found gem: <a href="https://paveldogreat.github.io/WebGL-Fluid-Simulation/">https://paveldogreat.github.io/WebGL-Fluid-Simulation/</a> 2025-07-26T07:15:10Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqst5e24k7thc4ucm396uq85vtfg4v7kdwsh24mk33w66hl2m5negpszyr2rj7uud48w7ecw9d4stqlzucqv93qjp5xh9gf9hkwwy9ku8dfqyw329uf - Great Technomancer, I keep waking up every day and think I live in ancient times!<br/><br/>- Let me guess, you keep thinking it&#39;s January 1st, 1970?
