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.

«GRAM — A code editor for humanoid apes and grumpy toads»

Do any of you know this code editor and do you use it? How is it and does it come close to the Vim?

Something I occasionally think about, and then proceed to be horrified to my core, is this:

A Raspberry Pi 4 *vastly* outperforms an Amiga 4000. Or a Symbolics XL1200. Or an SGI Octane. A typical microSD card is *much* faster than a Seagate Cheetah Ultra320 SCSI HDD you might have found in a high-end Unix workstation back in the day.

But the Pi 4 is barely able to run modern-day office software or browse the mainstream web. The microSD card is mostly considered a slow piece of junk (which it very likely is, though for other reasons than its performance).

What the fuck are we even doing here?

There's some really talented, cool people working on this, but the constant friction they have been facing is among the several reasons why I don't go anywhere near WP these days, which is a complicated stance to take because I am among those the #accessibility team is working so hard for. Sad state of affairs all around

Support for and solidarity with the volunteer WordPress accessibility team, who have busted their ass for years trying to make the product they need accessible, mostly on their own and with ENORMOUS pushback from Automattic, all the way up to its crybaby asshole CEO himself.

screenshot of a typical login form with fields for e-mail address and password, and a login button. the password field has been rotated by 10 degrees, tilted downwards on the left side. the whole form looks very silly.

Reminder: forced password rotation is a bad thing and must be avoided.

Because all the characters will slide towards one side, the resulting distribution will not be random, but very skewed.

so called-AI, another of these "rogue AI" stories

my "smart" TV is barely able to load all the crap google is serving but somehow a "small model" will be able to self-replicate onto it? and then what? watch my cancelled netflix?

Es ist schon spannend, "Das Auto filmt ja" und sendet die Daten vermutlich zu einem Server irgendwo. Wenn ein Mensch das macht ist es verboten, aber das Auto kann filmen und die Daten verwerten.

Wie beim #Hacken, ein Mensch wir eingesperrt, die #KI tut was Sie will, straffrei.

Man lernt:

- gründe Firma außerhalb der EU
- scheiß Dir gar nix, nur lass es eine Maschine machen
- wenn es aufkommt, ist die KI aus der Spur gelaufen

The picture shows a ranking of the "privacy score by group" in the European Parliament. The ranking is based on an analysis of the amendments that Members of Parliament have made to the GDPR and ePrivacy Directive in the Digital Omnibus.

The picture shows a ranking of the privacy score of select Members of the European Parliament. The ranking is based on an analysis of the amendments that said Members of Parliament have made to the GDPR and ePrivacy Directive in the Digital Omnibus.

🔴🟢 Today, we launched https://gdpr-omnibus.eu/ – a website, where we ranked more than 1,000 amendments to the GDPR and ePrivacy Directive.

⁉️ This sheds light on the question of who in the EU Parliament is fighting for your privacy, and who is fighting for Big Tech!

👉 Take a look at https://gdpr-omnibus.eu/ to see the full ranking and our special rankings, including one on Charter violations.

Anyone with open commissions who wants to do some #art for NetBSD?

We've got a budget for paying for some concept art and can later talk about working with you on some merch. DM us!

Naturally, we cannot accept contributions using generative AI.

Crazy shit. Ich war fast so weit, einen Account by Call-a-bike der DB anzulegen. Aber nicht nur wollen die eine Bankverbindung - ok -, sondern du sollst bei einem (mir bislang) unbekanten "Finanzdienstleister" auf einer komplett undurchsichtigen URL, die auch nicht so heißt wie der Dienstleister, deine Online-Zugangsdaten zu deiner Bank eingeben. "Damit sie prüfen können, ob's stimmt".

Während wir parallel alle lernen, dass wir nirgends unsere PIN-Nummern eingeben sollen.
