Hi everyone! I'm brand new to the fediverse, but really happy I finally got around to joining.

I'll describe myself as a husband & father first, but after that as a geek w/ 20y of software development behind me and at least 20 more in ahead. I live in snowy Helsinki.

I'm of course interested in FOSS, but also #degrowth , #philosophy , #climatecrisis , #smalltechnology but most importantly endlessly curious about the world and people in general. :)

Whoever says not having tapped into a single of the mentioned "traps": I don't believe you.

And well does he have a nice way to make all the points – and to show how to make it better. Brilliant. Thanks a lot for this, @techlore

Privacy Advocacy done right 👍

Greetings! My name is Daniel - I’m a mostly self-taught software engineer based in the US. I write code primarily in Go, C, or C++ and use Plan 9, OpenBSD, or Linux depending on the day. You can see what I’m working on at github.com/dnjp
#introduction

I just made my first meaningful pull request to an actively developed FOSS project :D I implemented tap-to-reset for the wasp-os pedometer app.

It was a LOT of researching and finding out how the libraries work but I'm proud of what I was able to do...not knowing C or python XD

Anyone have some resources for someone who's used to loosely typed languages who's looking to get into C?

Python resources also accepted :3

Hello, ThinkPad friends!

Do you know about @kev's #100DaysToOffload challenge[1]? It's very interesting.

What do you think if there is a similar challenge but to write about #ThinkPad topics instead of other topics? The result will be perhaps many ThinkPad articles from many persons? With less stricter rules perhaps. I'd like to hear your comments.

RT from Gabriel Weinberg (@yegg)

Instead of "bringing people together," Facebook has torn societies apart.

It's a privacy nightmare: Internet surveillance + anti-competitive acquisitions/tactics = filter bubbles, discrimination, polarization, etc.

Facebook was never going to fix itself.
