Snowy day and I am playing retro games on this little emulation boyo
(my tenure clock runs out this year so)

so whats up mastodon, do you think I will get tenure this year? I take bets below, and while you would probably before betting want to know how confident I feel:

I never felt confident about a damn thing in my life, and this makes me terrified because unemployment is the Armageddon, the Ragnarök, the literal twilight of the gods in my inherited DNA. It is the arch-terror that makes even the bravest of men whimper before charging headlong into destruction.

kinda pleased that it only took me half an hour to migrate from my locally hosted #raspberrypi, which I sold, to a VPS at Hetzner - i wanna selfhost buuuut i am young and needed the money.

Here we got the opensource cookbook "Mealie" running full tilt at my new home :)

i know there are about 500 commercial tools that does this, but that is sort of the point - i want my own opensource one that doesnt do weird shit.

a little silly tool from the dungeons - fire off your fav shortcut and a voice to text thingie appears and transcribes whatever you say and throws it into your clipboard. So I can dictate stuff to copy and paste etc.

It also cleans up the uuuhs and aaaahs if you use a cloud service that supports that, or not if you roll your own locally hosted which is SEMI-nicely architecturally separated. Love doing small useful tools like this.

"I'm an average user, so I don't need all the options and apps the programme has to offer. But, to be honest, #Microsoft is making it increasingly attractive to switch. Now that the company is putting #AI in everything, everything is becoming more annoying to use."

Can Dutch #universities do without Microsoft?

IMO, it's never been easier to switch away from the problematic players because we've got so many alternatives that got much better over time whereas Microsoft and others are practicing #enshittification.

We've done it before. Somehow, we found that giving away knowledge and control to use the #cloud was a good idea. It never was because we've lost so much competence we now need to ramp up very quickly.

Can Dutch universities do without Microsoft?

Can Dutch higher education part ways with Microsoft? The sector is trying to break free, and alternatives are being explored here and there. At the same time, more and more tasks are being completed by Microsoft tools.
