Just found a neat little website for "old" #games. Sometimes it's hard to find someone who would like to play those old titles with you. On https://gamedate.org/ you can find a "date" to play some of your old favourites. You can join an existing date or create a new one for your favourite title.

You know why we Germans are so pedantic about data protection? Someone around 90 years ago went through all records available, selected people with certain criteria, with the help of IBM, and then killed them all.

We don't want to be on any list.

And now the US Gov and Musk are trying to get access to all data they have about every person and put them into a big fat DB and run AI over it.

I am afraid what they will do with that.

Kann mir mal bitte jemand erklären, warum man immer häufiger Leute in Videos (YouTube, Social Media, ...) sieht, die ein Laveliermikrofon (Ansteckmikrofon) in der Hand halten anstatt es zu befestigen?

Hi @openstreetmap, I've got a question regarding the map tiles. I'd like to implement a map on a website which shows a specific location. But instead of directly loading the map tiles from tile.openstreetmap.org by each client visiting the website I would rather load the images via the server and cache them for 14 days. So one tile would only be loaded once every 14 days and in the meantime be delivered by my own server. Would this be okay?

Since the Fedi is way more popular now than it has been about 9 months ago I'm curious:

The lesson to take from the big layoffs at Twitter and Facebook is this: "The job will never love you back." No matter how much effort you put in, no matter how clever you are, no matter how long you've committed yourself to $COMPANY, when push comes to shove, you're just a replaceable part in the machine.

Keep your weekends and your evenings. Leave your bugs at work. Your time is for you, and your boss won't send you flowers.
