Hi. 👋

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:

Uff, ich verstehe ja, dass einige mittlerweile frustriert sind. Aber unter Aufrufe sich politisch gegen Abbau von Sozialleistungen & Rückbau von Transparenz zu engagieren „bringt ja eh nix…“ zu kommentieren macht echt rein gar nichts besser. Es ist vielmehr Teil des Problems.

RE: social.heise.de/@heiseonlineen

Heise reports on the unprecedented move to vote again on the #ChatControl 1.0 law that the European Parliament already rejected:

„The draft is to be put on Parliament's agenda as early as Tuesday as part of an urgent procedure – immediately before the start of the summer break. Should the plenary session approve the accelerated procedure, a vote threatens on the last day of session before the holidays, when many MEPs have historically already departed.“

I think from now on I'll start licensing all my projects as AGPL, no matter what.

Unless there is an even more forceful "you better keep this open source" license? Because that's what I want to go for.

Das wird sicher einen riesigen Produktivitäts-Boost geben, wenn wir uns zum Grippe-Saisonbeginn ins Wartezimmer quetschen, um die Krankschreibung ab dem ersten Fehltag abzuholen. Oder wenn sich der Kollege krank zur Arbeit schleppt, um dem zu entgehen. 🙄
