A quick look at the #PantherX Desktop: Here we've got the Menu with global search that can dig into PDF's and other documents, Hub with all online accounts and recent messages and of course System - at the top, right - with clear connection information; supporting all modern standards, including special cases such as OpenVPN with stunnel.

We've just lost another. After GitHub has fallen into Microsoft's hands, and deteriorating ever since, GitHub has now purchased npm with that Microsoft monaaay.

Who's winning? Not us. Certainly not the user.

The Lebanese currency didn't drop 50%, it dropped 50% more than the EUR/USD/RMB. How much did EUR drop? ~10%, 20%, 30%? Good question, when literally every currency is and has been losing value for years, and virtually, at an equal rate. Globalisation - Remember? Few winners, more losers.

Certainly wouldn't mind that..."through the GAIA-X
initiative, [Europe] would set a goal of 50% of government IT spending on open source, on-premises solutions by 2025 and 100% by 2030" https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/collection/open-source-observatory-osor/news/let-market-solve-it

I'm probably not going to use qutebrowser but I love that it exists: https://www.qutebrowser.org/index.html (no, I don't use vim).

Finally started working with #rust today.

Can anyone recommend a reliable hosting company in the EU, that doesn't block IP's based on US policy? It wouldn't hurt, if the server doesn't take hours to spin-up, and is reasonably fast. I'm familiar with most of the common offerings - any tips, based on actual experience?

It just hit me: What Facebook, Instagram or Twitter will never accomplish, Mastodon apparently has.

Segregation at it's finest.

This is what Trumps wettest dreams are made of; on Mastodon, a single person gets to decide, whether, thousands, or even millions, are able to communicate with a certain social or interest group, or even individual - the admin.

Future, here we come!

Anyone here used https://radicle.xyz/ before? "A peer-to-peer stack for code collaboration".

It just hit me: No GPU-powered rendering in Blender, the best (open source) 3D creation suite on the market - for Mac OS users. It's time to go Linux. It's time to go PantherX. I'm excited for it, like a little kid for Christmas. Go team, make it happen!

If you're looking for a new node backend framework, look no further: https://github.com/nestjs/nest - Kudos to Kamil, the brains behind this beast!

Mastodon is getting invaded by spammy, fake accounts. Can't we come-up with a global block-list, which everyone can subscribe to? Not to curb free-speech, but to reduce the amount of porn-girls. I'd say, this would be relatively easy to determine, and agree on.
