Finally! I have waited more than 5 years personally for this decision to declare Google Play Store an illegal monopoly for Android devices:

I'm available for interviews in my insights, be it Finnish national or international:

Epic win: Jury decides Google has illegal monopoly in app store fight

A jury has decided for Epic Games in the Epic v. Google trial, giving the Fortnite and Unreal Engine maker a historic win in its fight to change how app stores work.

Interesting internet behavior. It seems that if you search Mika Newton on YouTube right now the fifth video is Loreen's grand final in #Eurovision from last night. I did this in incognito mode without logging in.

Here is a good example video of even visual similarities in the extracted vocal tracks in the two songs linked on Helsingin Sanomat today:

I wonder how many comments does a YouTube video need to pop up in unrelated search like this?

... And finally here's the example video of chroma key green replacement in action in my home studio.

Video edit was done coding in Python+OpenCV+Pyzbar.

Which tech topic should I cover first in my future video content? What would you like to see?

... And here's now a work-in-progress test of my Käärijä-green video content.

The idea is to replace the green background and green cubes with 3D models that I can manipulate with my hands while explaining Computer Science topics.

Here's a behind-the-scenes look for more hints about my future content. A small home studio made by hand together with my lovely girlfriend @nayrvillarroel

Käärijä for the win 👍🟢🟢😎🟢🟢👍! I'm working on something with this equipment on the table in the future, can you guess what? 😉

I'm a Finnish tech enthusiast focusing on open systems, just graduated from Aalto University. I decided to divide my profile by category under different domains so that people can choose what to follow.

This was done through 5 parallel instances of Mastodon running on my 2vCore 4GB 40GB VPS.

Pick which categories to follow:
- Finnish @pekka
- Photography @pekka
- Portraits @pekka
- Tech @pekka

I am really excited to hear that Finnish universities are likely to get their own shared #mastodon #instance that would include all Finnish universities and universities of applied sciences. It would be managed by the Center of Scientific Computing. They're still working out how to set up moderation and the instance name, but the timeline for launch apparently is late October.

Last night I set up a Mastodon instance just for myself ( @pekka ) and decided to keep both accounts instead of switching from one to another.

However, I can't see my own first post of the new profile through my old account. The new profile is visible through the old account but it's empty of posts.

I would imagine this has something to do with the lack of relays put on my personal instance, none at the moment. Do I need to add "random" relays from relay lists to get federated?

Almost every article I try and read wants me to prove I'm a human in order to read it. Find the chimneys, click the crosswalks, hold this button, solve this math problem

I'm not trying to leave a comment, I'm just trying to read an html document

I can't imagine how hard it is for someone who uses a screen reader

The web is supposed to be simple, how did we mess it up?
