so geht das nicht. ihr habt falsch verstanden. sie bedeutet nicht zwang und überwachung, sondern zusätzliche optionen und mehr . meine forderungen:

  • alle websites und apps
  • alle apis frei zugänglich
  • kein tracking
  • kein 3rd party content
  • anonyme buchung und zahlung
  • alle services auch mit analog-äquivalentem nachweis (zB QR code gedruckt)

@XR_Nuernberg_sunny2 akut sauer bin ich nicht, weil ich selbst betroffen wäre, sondern allgemein aufgrund der gefährlichen frechheit, banking-logins abzufragen und der abschaffung anonymer spartickets.

die bc100 funktioniert im kern derzeit schon noch so, aber sie wird auch zunehmend kaputt gemacht: https://fosstodon.org/@slink/111806775297708120

Contrary to what I read on social media and in the mainstream press, when I think of the average software developer, I don't think of someone "moving fast and breaking things" in a cutting-edge tech start-up. I think of someone working in an established business on legacy systems that end users have come to rely on. Because that's what the vast majority of us actually do. Most software developers are in the distinctly not-cutting-edge business of keeping the proverbial lights on.

@jasongorman those fast moving disruptors also stand on 99.9…% reliable, proven giant-shoulders. #foss #opensource

@jasongorman or as i always put it for "normies": what most "disruptors" do is #legoprogramming: take big ready-made #duplo blocks and put then together in some (in the best case novel) way.

An #congstar: unter https://www.congstar.de/hilfe-service/kontakt/kontaktformular/ 1) Ich werde keine congstar app benuzten. Ich halte es fuer falsch und rechtlich problematisch, Vertragsbeziehungen an die Nutzung einer app zu knuepfen. Congstar sollte das nicht tun. Wenn keine andere Moeglichkeit geboten wird, werde ich kuendigen. #appzwang #Digitalzwang 🧵

This is like a bad supervillain movie where some maniac amasses greater and greater influence until he is ready to take over the world.

Sudo has a "large attack surface" and systemd does not ?

Really ?

i am also skeptical, but the "fresh fork from pid1" without all the otherwise necessary cleanup is compelling, i think.

Every time I post a link to my site on Mastodon, it locks up for like 30 seconds or so.

My theory is that because I have a quite a lot of followers (👋 hii!) the post hits a lot of instances and they all poll my site at the same time, effectively DDoS'ing it for a lil bit.

One day I'll run a packet capture and prove this theory…

#kita in #berlin, eine sich verstärkende rückkopplung, die alle beteiligten sinnlos beschäftigt hält:

alle kitas haben lange wartelisten
alle eltern melden sich bei 20 kitas an
alle kitas haben längere wartlelisten
…

dabei könnte der #kitanavigator das problem doch einfach lösen: anmeldung nur darüber, eltern geben zB drei präferenzen, vergeben wird fair z.B. nach entfernung…

We're being force-migrated from Zoom to Teams (to save some Schekels) which was a bit of a wrench at first but I've found a few things which I prefer in Teams:

  • Dedicated "raise hand" vs "react" buttons on the toolbar
  • Visualised sequencing for people who raised their hand so you can go through in order
    I do always struggle to find the "mute" button for some reason (seems to be common with lots of people) and the video quality is pretty poor compared to Zoom but I can live with it.

@tdp_org were you also force migrated to the electron app or do you actually use in a browser? for me, using it in does not work because i refuse to accept 3rd party cookies. separate calls in a private window work for some minutes and then get increadibly slow and erratic. so much so that i start to suspect this might even be on purpose, because given that and work flawlessly for hours i see no good reason to not make trams work in ff…

alda, to opensource
@alda@topspicy.social avatar

I'm looking for resources, experiences, conversations, books and papers on revenue models for open source software, as I'm releasing a product that needs to be under GPLv3.

I'm specifically looking into monthly and annual donations and "sponsor a feature" sort of deals on top of service contracts.

There's already interest, so it's more about defining the methods rather than this being possible or not.

The idea that Hashicorp is worth about the same as Oracle paid for Sun is truly a magical fantasy valuation.

@ptribble and this inplies that #ibm is expecting to relief their cloud customers of an additional 64bn. why exactly was it that people still believe #cloud fairy tales about cutting cost?

@JasperSiepkes @ptribble tco is part of the fairy tale. it only works for small shops.
what's the price tag of vendor lock in? how much value do autonomy, sovereinity and freedom bring?

Wie ich feststellen musste, wählt #congstar jetzt auch den Weg von DHL und der DB, was #digitalzwang bzw. #appzwang angeht: Für den Zugang zu Kundendaten, Rechnungen etc. soll man sich künftig eine App runterladen. Aktuell geht der Login zwar noch unter:
https://www.congstar.de/meincongstar/
das erfährt man aber erst nach Nachfrage.

Ich habe deshalb eine Mail an den Kundenservice geschrieben, denn ich finde das ätzend. Nehmt das gern als Vorlage, wenn ihr mögt:
