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.

You're not being helpful if you're responding to people's questions with a copy/paste of what an LLM says to their question.

If they consent to their question being put into an LLM, they would've already done it themselves. Stop.

Why should I bother paying for an email service when this new Gmail thing is free and has cool new features?

Why should I bother with the cost and hassle of hosting and running my own website or forum when this cool new Facebook thing is free and super easy?

Why should I bother with the clutter and hassle of buying physical copies of my favourite shows and movies when streaming is cheap and easy?

Why should I bother learning anything or thinking for myself when this cool LLM can do it for me?

Whatever they say about "loving the Web", the Chrome team will choose Google's ad business over everything else, web standards, user agency, security, privacy, safety, interoperability, literally anything and everything else every single time.

What anyone on that team says they love or care about or want does not change anything they're going to do.

Yes, they're thrashing. Yes, the AI stuff is bullshit nobody wants.

Get Firefox, add uBlock Origin.

Landkarte mit Frankreich  der Eiffelturm steht auf dem Land

Frankreich zieht den Stecker bei #Microsoft – und macht damit ernst, was andere EU-Staaten bisher nur diskutieren.

2,5 Mio Arbeitsplätze sollen raus aus nicht-europäischer Software.

Am 8. April hat die französische DINUM jedem Ministerium eine Frist gesetzt
bis Herbst 26 einen Plan
vorlegen, wie man aus US-Software aussteigt.

Betriebssysteme. Office. Cloud. Antivirus. KI. Datenbanken.

Alles muss raus
Der Grund ist der CLOUD Act der USA.

Und wir?
