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.

The European Commission told TikTok to “change several key features, including disabling infinite scrolling, setting strict screen time breaks and changing its recommender systems. The demand follows the Commission's declaration that TikTok’s design is addictive to users.”

Now do the same for the US services!

Sarkastischer Kommentar zur Teilzeitdebatte der Union

Bzgl des fast schon menschenfeindlichen & realitätsfernen Vorstoß der sog. Mittelstands- & Wirtschaftsunion zur Abschaffung des Rechts auf Teilzeit: dann aber wenigstens auch in beide Richtungen, da freut sich der akademische Mittelbau an deutschen Universitäten, wenn 50% & 65% Stellen zukünftig auf 100% augestockt werden müssten.

Because I have been reading discussions lately about blocking shared posts and sharing/boosting etiquettes in the fediverse, I turned off all shared/boosted posts from others today. Surprisingly, my timeline became a lot more interesting, and now I am doubting the sense of sharing posts and social media in general...

Whoops, #youtube appears to be shutting down their #RSS endpoints for channels' uploads

It is almost tragic that the only bearable news reading experience on the desktop is delivered by freaking #newsboat #newsbeuter #rss

Since all my websites and web-tools use the phenomenal #SimpleCSS framework, I thought it would also make sense to create a theme for #ktistec using those exact colours. Of course, this is also available from my ktistec-tweaks, next to the old purpleish-theme, which I had before.

Also new is the separation of the card-style post theming, which is also shown in the screenshot below, in its own CSS file.
