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:

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

BRD Politik

Seit vielen Monaten propagiert #DieLinke für einen Mietendeckel.
Die aktuelle #CDU + #SPD BRD Regierung hat das bisher ignoriert. Jetzt greift diese Regierung die grundlegende Idee auf und setzt sie für den einmalig nutzbaren Treibstoff für Verbrennungsmotoren um.

RE: infosec.exchange/@david_chisna

It was, it still is, heartbreaking to watch Mozilla's visionless, clout-chasing leadership so desperate for another grasp at relevance that we started investing in the "most trustworthy" version of a technology that was clearly - obviously, to anyone paying attention - intended to enclose and destroy the Web we said we loved and championed, trying to ride the coattails of the companies destroying the entire idea of the Web and any meaningful, participatory social commons underneath it.

So, OpenAI admits two things in disclosures presented to the court:

  • That their products are utterly dependent on work ingested without compensation.
  • That their derived product is directly substituting for this work, removing the economic incentive to perform that work in the first place.

Meanwhile, the EFF filed an amicus brief in the case claiming that this use is exactly what was intended by the ‘To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts’ justification for the existence of copyright in the US Constitution.

A cinema with a massive screen. Projected onto the screen you can see the KDE logo.

On 14 October 1996, a physics student in Tübingen, Germany posted a message to three Usenet newsgroups.

That post was the start of what would become KDE, one of the world's most impactful free software communities...

Trailer for the KDE Documentary drops on Saturday 🍿.

While CEO's see "AI" as the tool to ensure they no longer have to pay people or depend on them, many workers adopting "AI" get taught through that use that skills they don't have/other professions are worth less.
This destruction of worker solidarity and interdisciplinary collaboration is a core function of the "AI" discourse.

Ich möchte nicht, dass mir Politiker*innen und Journalist*innen erklären, dass es nunmal Demokratie sei, wenn mehrheitlich Nazis gewählt werden.

Ich erwarte, dass sie verstehen, dass die Demokratie demokratisch abgeschafft werden kann und dass das Grundgesetz davor schützen sollte.

Man hätte heute ne queere Person, ne Demokratiearbeiterin, ne syrische Ärztin, ne Diakoniemitarbeiterin, ne Historikerin aus Sachsen-Anhalt in öffentlich- rechtliche Sendungen einladen können. Stattdessen setzt man bildgewaltig Faschismus in Szene und talkt bisschen drüber, als wärs Alltag.

Oh my, after all these years, #OSMAnd finally has a pretty decent address search! This was the one thing that was superior in OrganicMaps/CoMaps. This is really great!
