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:

#Debian / #Linux
#FOSS / #OpenSource
#vegan #Food
#ktistec
#webdev, particularly #CSS and #PHP
sometimes posts & shares about German and EU politics (#DEpol, #EUpol)

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.

Are you interested in learning how to use Git for the first time? (or almost the first time)

we're looking for Git beginners to give us feedback on a Git tutorial! The tutorial will be open source when it's released, so you'll be helping many future beginners! Sign up here: https://forms.gle/zgubUXvFZKRALefWA

(i realize my Mastodon followers are pretty unlikely to be total Git beginners, but I'm putting this out there anyway 🤞)

There was a time when computers would scream in pain when we connected to the internet.

This was a warning we should've paid attention to...

Würde mir wünschen, dass einige Menschen in der Union in den nächsten Tagen mal tief in sich gehen und sich fragen, inwiefern die Kulturkampf-Rhetorik von Leuten aus den eigenen Reihen letztendlich nicht ein Eigentor war. Hoffnung hab ich zwar wenig. Aber wer weiß.

Stellt Euch vor, es würde in Reaktion auf die Berlin-Wahl in den nächsten Wochen bundesweit intensiv über die Frage gestritten werden, was man gegen horrende Mietpreise in Großstädten tun kann. Thema in allen Talkshows, Task-Force auf Bundes- & Landesebene. Volles Programm. Das wär doch mal was.

It is currently de rigueur, I guess, to include little social statements in or alongside the code in your FOSS software projects. Thinking of no project in particular, here...

Not wanting to appear out of fashion, future releases of ktistec will each articulate a different principle I live by.

The next release, which will finally include the feed deck I've been working on, will be known as "Love who you choose to love"—simple guidance for finding happiness in a difficult world.

✌🏻

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.

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.

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.
