I'm a software developer and mentor with almost twenty years of experience.

I’ve worked with many programming languages across a wide range of platforms, from web2.0, web3.0 & mobile.

I’m a frontend developer at heart, with solid backend knowledge, and a strong passion for new technologies. I’m always looking to learn, share, and help others understand how the world of programming works.

I just installed KDE Connect on my #nixos laptop and it's absolutely amazing! Seamless integration between my laptop and phone. Send files, clipboard, SMS, etc.

It proves that the choice between freedom and seamlessness (i.e. walled gardens) is a false dichotomy; you can have both.

So Duo (the multifactor authentication service that #infosec loves) has integrated with Persona (the privacy destroying, Peter Thiel backed, AI-linked, facial scanning and mapping "identity verification" software)

You know the recent Discord snafu that received such massive pushback and caused so many people to leave Discord that they've dropped their identity verification?

Yeah, that Persona.

Duo integrates it into Duo Premier, Duo Advantage, and even Duo Essentials...

...which means many working class folks will have no option but to be enrolled into and use Persona...

...or be fired.

I have now completed two full working weeks with an M4-processor Apple laptop running MacOS. I had heard a lot about how amazing and fast these things are, and let me tell you: no

utter horseshit, the speed is pretty unremarkable (it's fine) but the OS itself reminds me of 2007-era linux (nothing works quite right, random UI elements lag, text scaling doesn't meaningfully work, every program comes with a quirks list because each model is apparently differently broken)
