šŸ‘‹ Hey there! I'm a passionate software engineer and cybersecurity specialist who loves exploring the world of technology. šŸŒšŸ’»

I'm fluent in English and Spanish. When I'm not coding or fortifying digital defenses, you can find me engaging in thought-provoking discussions or learning new languages. ✨

I'm here to connect with like-minded individuals, share my experiences, and grow both personally and professionally.

We decided to leave Twitter / X on January 20, 2025. We just don’t feel like it is the best place to be for our community anymore. Starting now, Mastodon (and, new, Bluesky) will become our flagship social media accounts.

If you are coming from Twitter, welcome to Mastodon! If you are from here, we are looking forward to engaging more with the posts here!

As more and more states roll out some form of mobile driver’s license, you might be asking yourself: should I use this thing? https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/10/should-i-use-my-states-digital-drivers-license
 
Should I Use My State’s Digital Driver’s License?

A mobile driver’s license (often called an mDL) is a version of your ID that you keep on your phone instead of in your pocket. In theory, it would work wherever your regular ID works—TSA, liquor stores, to pick up a prescription, or to get into a bar. This sounds simple enough, and might even be...

Hello everyone, I’m Maartje De Meulder. After spending years on X, I’ve decided to give Mastodon a try.

I’m a senior researcher at the University of Applied Sciences Utrecht and I split my time mainly between Belgium, the Netherlands, and Norway.

I’ll be mostly posting about all things language, disability, and technologies, and how they intersect, along with navigating academia.

Integrating OpenXR with the @godotengine and Advancing XR Development through Open Source - https://khr.io/16x

OpenXR, the cross-platform open standard for virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) development, has become a vital component of the XR industry by providing a unified API that enables developers to create immersive experiences across various platforms and devices. By eliminating the need for multiple proprietary APIs, OpenXR simplifies development processes and broadens the scope for creating diverse XR applications

I've got some news about office environments. The absolute worst part for me was dealing with the rampant gossip and laziness. People would chat all day, accomplish next to nothing, and then pretend they were some kind of heroes for staying late.
