Recently retired software dev: Linux, C++, C, Python, C# (and Rust in my spare time). Coding since the 80’s (started with 6502 as a hobby, started professionally with PDP-11).

Most recently, was selling my soul, coding HFT strategies for a large prop trading house.

Pro-EU, pro-choice (in all meanings of the word), pro-democracy, anti-fascist (“antifa” for any USians).

"Israel is explicitly warning Christian residents in southern Lebanon not to welcome Muslim residents among them, threatening to bomb Christian neighborhoods.

Israel is now searching for Muslims hiding in the attics of Christians. It’s not 1944. Read that again.

The goal isn't military. It's destabilizing social stability in Lebanon."

Francesca Albanese is trying to stop a genocide.
The United States and Israel are trying to stop her – by destroying her life, her career, her family, and her voice.
The US has sanctioned UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese, 8 ICC judges, 3 court officials, and Palestinian human rights organisations Al-Haq, Al Mezan, and PCHR. The message is chilling: investigate genocide, speak up for international law, and we will destroy your life.

I would like to congratulate my wonderful wife, @[email protected], for winning her primary! She ran unopposed and will also be unopposed in the general, meaning for 3 election cycles in a row, Montana will have a trans woman (and kick ass human) in the legislature.

The EU today is going to announce new measures in its push for 'digital sovereignty'...
a push for the public sector to use more open-source software
sovereignty criteria for public tech contracts and "sovereignty risk assessments" to identify European providers
a new law on cloud computing to encourage the construction of data centres in the EU, and a common EU scheme to rate the sustainability of data centres
boosting the demand for European-made semiconductors

It's very clearly aimed at taking Europe out of the market for US tech giants.

EU targets 'technological sovereignty' with push for homegrown tech and distance with US and Asia

The sweeping strategy to strengthen European alternatives to foreign technology providers comes as Brussels seeks to reduce reliance on US and Asian firms in critical sectors ranging from cloud computing to artificial intelligence.

The fatal flaw with democracy is that the skills required to convince people to vote for you are completely unrelated to the skills required to successfully run a country.

You can ‘clash with police’ in a spontaneous march publicly addressed and headed up by a criminal if you are on the far right in this country…no reported arrests.

But hold a placard protesting against genocide and you’ll be arrested, man handled and held on remand and not even allowed to explain the motive of your so called crime at your trial, before being handed a stiff sentence.

There is two tier policing in the UK, but not in the way #Farage and Robinson think.

Poland will introduce a “sovereignty test” for government tech purchases as Tusk warns AI dependency has reached dangerous proportions

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has announced that Poland will introduce a “sovereignty test” for significant government purchases of technology solutions, warning that the country’s dependency on foreign digital infrastructure has reached a scale that demands a policy response. Speaking at the European Financial Congress in Sopot on Tuesday, Tusk said Poland will also publish […]
