Hey! I like programming, science and podcasts.
Mostly posting about interesting stuff I've found on the web.

I use Fedora and Kubuntu, and I mainly code in Python, C, and Rust, typically working in Zed.

"Google is completely cooked" update: I looked in my spam folder and discovered that GMail is sending *its own delivery failure notification emails* to spam. The sender is "googlemail.com" and is cryptographically signed, and receiving this email is critical for regular use of GMail. Went to spam

I'm appalled to see the European Commission apparently embracing closed source, commercial, ID and age verification mandatory, social media today - in the very face of the technology sovereignty and online freedoms debates.

I think they've just thrown away the greatest opportunity to be the champion of all things open and collaborative, and to live and demonstrate their own values. Incredibly disappointed.

W Social, Public Institutions and the Theater of European Digital Sovereignty

European public institutions are betting big on digital sovereignty and open source software. And yet they recently moved their Bluesky accounts to W Social, a private, for profit network owned by Swedish entrepreneurs that has quietly gone closed-source.

Mit W Social ist ein soziales Netzwerk gestartet, bei dem man sich nur nach Passkontrolle anmelden kann. Das ist keine gute Idee. Überhaupt spricht einiges dagegen, sich bei dem schwedischen Startup einen Account zuzulegen. Ein Kommentar.

RE: https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/@EUCommission/116766280029168108

"W" - named after Musk's fascist platform X. Cringe. - is a closed protocol, for-profit, tech bro walled garden that's EXACTLY the kind of social media that made this mess.

I'm utterly disgusted to see the European Commission supporting it and amplifying it. Today, EC President von der Leyen endorsed W on its launch. She never did that for Eurosky!

It's predictable that the rightwing EPP would align with a closed, billionaire fantasy social media platform, but it is sickening to see EC do it

@keineantwort Oh wie schade, das tut mir leid. Wir sind inzwischen auch dazu übergegangen, ganz ohne optische Sensoren zu fahren, und das meiste mit dem Gyro zu machen. Je kompakter der Roboter ist, desto genauer funktioniert das, hat uns selber auch echt überrascht.
