Guess an #introduction is in order. Not sure I ever did one for my first instance, whoops.
Hi, my name is James an I've moved from an instance that is closing down soon.
I'm absolutely queer 
but working a boring office job in Germany, trying to remind ppl at work that personal data needs protection and that genAI came fresh out of pandora's box and does not belong in their daily job.
In my free time I #write fic, #draw digital art and #read a lot of books, mostly #scifi. I play a handful of computer games like #GW2. I watch a lot of tv shows and love Star Trek 
and Doctor Who.
I love #space, #nature, #cats and #photography (although my photos are just taken with my phone). I post them mostly on my Pixelfed account.
Guess that's it for now. I probably forgot a lot of stuff that people write into introductions, but feel free to ask x)
I'm really happy with the progress FLOSS communities have had over the past 3 decades in the kind of environment they foster. For the longest time they were spaces where "got good"/RTFM/PEBKAC was the abrasive default mode of communication between themselves and specially newcomers and that permeated down to the documentation and the software itself. Some places remain like that, but the Cambrian explosion of projects has led to alternative spaces, to the point where I'd say the places where being consistently a dick to each other is acceptable are now a minority.
As an small anecdote that remains seared in my mind and I find representative, as a tech curious young lad I was scouring every bit of open source documentation I could find to learn. I recall reading GNU documentation that kept talking about the Meta-key. I could never figure out how to AltaVista what the hell that was, and it was of course not mentioned anywhere that it was "old-speak" for Alt. The mailing lists looked intimidating, specially when I saw how people treated each other, so I never asked there. Eventually I muddled with getting RedHat and Slackware that came with some magazine installed but would get stuck on gettting my winmodem to work. I never felt I could actually "be part" of the open source space, until Ubuntu came out, sent me CDs to share in school, with a more "meet people where they are"/"welcoming" attitude.

Catswords.Phantomizer is an HTTP-based dynamic-link library (DLL) loader designed for .NET applications. It allows your application to fetch and load assemblies directly from your CDN (Azure Blob, S3, Cloudflare R2, etc.) at runtime, with optional GZip compression support.

Run out of books. Just read Automatic Noodle by 
@annaleenAnnalee Newitz 🍜 which was so lovely.
Recommendations please. Sci-fi or other curve-balls welcome.
Perhaps it's because people actually like to physically handle the media they use. They want to have a tangible connection to the music and movies they've bought? Perhaps they're sick of knowing that they only rent the ability to play things when they subscribe to various streaming services.
But mostly, people like to collect things. How do you collect a Netflix library? How do you collect Kindle Unlimited books? How do you express who you are and what you enjoy if it's all housed on a device that feels increasingly hostile?
RE) 어...? 어????????????
웃효!!! .NET 인데... 이걸 DLL을 CDN으로 할 수 있다고...? 웃효오오오오오오오오 WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
"You're too close to the problem." vs "You're too removed from the problem."
Both of these cliches seem true to my experience, and yet I struggle to split apart how explain how to avoid falling into either ditch.
What do y'all think? How would you explain it?

every mech pilot has a tiny hatch in the back of her head where a little robot drone can crawl in and ratatouie her from a control panel
you can see this pattern repeat throughout nature, everywhere you look. there is actually a planet out there where the mechs themselves are piloting giantesses

Sometimes I feel silly for going on the same bike ride over and over again. Stopping at the same place to snack and read my book. To watch the setting sun. But it's just a different kind of ride. A meditation not an adventure.
One of the fucking rad legalized squats who hosted us on our tour is trying to buy their building before the shitty real estate company that owns it can sell it out from under them.
This space is precious to Nijmegen, consider donating or even extending a low interest solidarity loan here!
I like the Gemini Protocol, but — I think too many of the other small-net protocols try to mimick Gemini.
I think things would be better in some ways if — those so inclined to create a new small-net protocol would be more creative (rather than conforming to the patterns that the Gemini Protocol has used or established).
Sure, you can accept the small-net values, but — try something new, as far as designing a protocol goes.

the feature I am missing is visited pages automatic archiving. Otherwise Gemini smallweb is a cool thing.
Was forced to install the Miele app because it is the only way to tell the washing machine to clean itself. It asks you for permission to have third parties process and analyze your data no less than **8 times**. Ridiculous. I bet it will keep on asking until you give up. Also it is probably selling my data anyhow. Bah.

Well, lost a day trying to update to the #charm v2 rc version library in a couple of my projects.
Today, besides a couple of questionable API changes there was a ton of mismatched dependency versions which led to compilation errors.
I need to stop trying to do this until they truly release this new version.

Zuckerberg has blown 77 billion – enough money to revitalize entire countries – on an idea so overwhelmingly, obviously stupid that I have never once heard anyone, from the Thanksgiving avuncular table to the most wretched depths of social media, say they liked it or even tried it. He was so sure that it would revolutionize the world that he renamed his extremely famous company after it. And now he's on to the next thing that he's so very, very sure about.
The world needs direction from sober people who aim to improve the human condition, not the whims of a handful of billionaire princelings who absolutely, positively cannot be dissuaded from failing at unprecedented scale while chasing their own vainglory off the edge of a cliff.

It's here!!! I can't decide if I want to look at pictures or read a book! Why this is a big deal is because all of my other braille displays have one line so if you are a person who can see imagine that you only get between 20 and 40 characters before you need to scroll on one line. That is how I read all of the time. This display has a one line display at the bottom, yes, but at the top there is a larger display that is 30 x 10 that lets you read multiple lines at once or… Look at pictures! This is life-changing for me! #DeafBlind

Elkjøp, likely the largest Norwegian based electronics store, is now running ads for Copilot where they speak about how great Recall is. Likely the ad is paid for by Microsoft.
They show the picture below and they talk of how great it is that the machine remembers everything you have done with it (and has the pictures to prove it!).
I guess when you make something that most people do not want, you just push it harder.
Remember that you have a choice to move away from Big Tech.
