Hi. đź‘‹

I am JayVii, a data enthusiast with a passion for Free and Open Source Software. I care about social inclusion & privacy. This is my personal Fediverse server, powered by ktistec. I modified its appearance with my own adjustments.

I typically remove shared posts after ca. 3–6 months. I do keep most of my own posts (for now).

I post about a variety of topics, both in German and English, such as:

I also developed a few tiny & simple self-hostable tools to ease my life (and that of others), such as:

You can find out more about myself on my website or in my introduction post.

Die Informationssuche verändert sich, TikTok wird immer häufiger als Suchmaschine genutzt, insbesondere von GenZ & GenAlpha.

Erinnern wir uns an die Zeiten, als schon die Internetsuche negativ beurteilt wurde, weil die schnelle häppchenweise Bereitstellung von Information als Problem gesehen wurde. Inzwischen kann man froh sein, wenn die Gruppe der sehr jungen Nutzer die klassische Suche noch medienkompetent beherrschen und Infos nicht nur von Influencern beziehen.

Mojeek und Kagi im Test!
Wer MetaGer als #Suchmaschine nutzt, erhält übrigens auch Mojeek-Ergebnisse. Es ist ganz aufschlussreich, mal zu schauen, von welchen Anbietern ein Ergebnis bei uns kommt. Manchmal z.B. kommt es nur von Mojeek. Das macht dann wieder deutlich, dass eine Metasuchmaschine gewisse Vorteile in der Ergebnisvielfalt haben kann.

Google testet gerade, die Titel der Suchergebnisse KI-gestĂĽtzt zu "optimieren". Titel sollen so besser auf die Anfrage der User abgestimmt werden. Oft haben die Titel mit dem Ergebnis dann nur noch wenig zu tun. Man darf gespannt sein, ob sich dieses Vorgehen etabliert.

Results from the Danish general election 2026

'Hey, look at #Denmark! Social Democrats can stay relevant and marginalise the #farright by becoming - get this! - a bit like the far right!' Parrotted by every medium, contemplated by every SD party, ridiculed by every political scientist.

“So what does the GNOME Foundation do, anyway?”

So much work is behind the scenes—and frankly, in the past the Foundation has not been as efficient as it could have been.

With the relaunched Friends of GNOME and now the Fellowship program, I hope it’s obvious what the role of the Foundation can and should be.

I’m super proud of the GNOME Foundation board for putting this together. And I am forever grateful to the Friends of GNOME who make this possible. ❤️

Apple hassling me to prove I'm over 18

Just updated my iPad. It wanted me to take a photo of a credit card. I did not let it. It then told me I might not be able to access certain things. The future is fucking shit.

Du kannst nichts mehr lesen, ohne dich zu fragen, inwiefern der Text von einer KI generiert wurde.

Du kannst nichts mehr schreiben, ohne dass dir jemand unterstellt, dass du eine KI zu Hilfe genommen haben könntest.

Es ist zum Kotzen.

OK this is a stupid question, but why have Linux projects (apparently) fallen over themselves to comply with an age-recording statute in a single US state (albeit a large one), when those projects have been failing for decades to respect national and even international law regarding disability?

Release v3.3.4 of Ktistec

Release v3.3.4 of Ktistec is available.

This release adds Mastodon-compatible client support for publishing posts. Just like the previous release, however, all Mastodon API support is behind a build flag (-Dwith_mastodon_api). It's still experimental, so opt in only if you're happy to work with rough edges.

Beyond that, I focused on cleanup and refactoring throughout the codebase. Here's the full changelog:

Added

  • Cursor-based pagination on actor timeline and everything pages.
  • Mastodon-compatible API: /api/v1/statuses endpoint for status posting.
  • Mastodon-compatible API: /api/v1/timelines/public endpoint.

Fixed

  • Autosave focus handling. Fixes problems introduced in v3.3.3.
  • Prevent blur from creating a draft post when publishing a post.

Changed

  • Integrate X-Ray Mode colors into the theming system.
  • Improve CI: add npm audit, test, and caching.
  • Use npm ci in Dockerfile for reproducible builds.
  • Remove very old compiler bug work-around.

🏋️ Mastodon API support is coming along—more in the next release!
