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
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.

What isn't discussed enough within the whole Signal Phishing attack debacle in Germany, is that users have been primed for years to accept fishy (in-) security processes by online services, apps, payment providers and banks.
I (and probably you too) get (legit) messages and mails from banks you wouldn't believe... It is no wonder, that people interact with phishing-DMs via their messenger, when this is what other services call their official authentication procedures for a decade or so.
We kinda settled on talking about "enshittification" a lot because it maps to our experience of the world: Everything slowly collapsing.
But what we need is a push towards first "unshittification" and then "antishittification": Digging us out of the ditch and then building political and economic infrastructures and policies that make sure it does not happen again.
