I've been in the fediverse since 2017 already, however with the recent growth in users and the switch to my own instance, I figured it is time for an #introduction.
I am a #Statistician and #DataScientist from Germany. I am also passionate about Free and #OpenSource #Software and am deeply involved in hosting, developing and advocacy of privacy friendly FOSS tools.
Besides above two topics, I share posts & ramble myself about #politics in Germany and the EU, #feminism, #veganism, #selfhosting, #rstats, #linux and whatever is currently happening. Posts are typically in English, shares are often in German as well.
If you have further questions, you are free to ask any time. You can find further contact info (incl. PGP) on my website https://www.jayvii.de
For my personal tech-news feed tn.jayvii.de, I use RSS feeds from other link aggregators like HN, lobsters, reddit or Lemmy.
Unfortunately, the RSS feeds of the later two link to the posts, rather than the URL that post links to. Is there any way to circumvent this behaviour or extract the URL from reddit/lemmy via a thin webscraping layer I can run the RSS feed through?
I have something like morss.it in mind...
Apple and Google are gradually expanding their use of hardware-based attestation. They're convincing a growing number of services to adopt it. Google's Play Integrity API and Apple's App Attest API are very similar. Apple brought it to the web via Privacy Pass, which Google intends on doing too.

Every single time, when I follow a direct link to github. Or at the very least on my first click on anything there... What a scam of a platform.
There鈥檚 something ominous about the speed with which the entire world has marched to require identification on platforms and, as I expected, begin the process of banning anonymous VPNs.
The fact that Google decided to dump a 4 GiB language model file on every Chrome installation is yet another sign of how the generative AI craze is unsustainable. Don't look at it from the side of users, look at it from Google side. Having every user download a 4 GiB monster which will need to be routinely updated is a significant cost. It takes a ton of bandwidth to do that, far more than Chrome updates consume. And yet they're doing it because they're desperate to externalize the cost of "AI".

Anyone saying "Scientists don't want you to know this fact" has never met a scientist.
Scientists are famous oversharers.

What a time to be alive:
"For gaming, Microsoft views steamOS as the benchmark, and is working to optimize the platform so that steamOS and Windows gaming performance are comparable."
So they're trying to make Windows beat Linux at running... Windows games.
