Twitter’s dominance ‘over’ as Bluesky becomes new hub for research. Data indicates more scholars turning to alternative social media site to post about their work after Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover www.timeshighereducation.com/news/xs-domi...

we're facing an epidemic of incredibly wack ideas, opinions, and taste

#luddite mode - I decided to get a refurbished ipod classic. I think I am going through some small scale tech middle life crisis.

οταν απόφασιζεις να αφησεις μια δουλειά, να κανεις checkout που λεμε και αργοτερα να παραιτηθείς, η απογοήτευση / νευρο / παραπονο που νιωθεις συνήθως δεν είναι για την θεση η δουλεια που αφηνεις ( αν και ετσι νομίζεις ) .

#luddite I just ordered a refurbished ipod classic from ebay to host my mp3s. I am living the dream.

I've written the first article in a series of in-depth articles about authentication and authorization in a microservice architecture. microservices.io/post/archite...

I dont know if I am getting old , weird or whatever but for some reason I really regret that I fcked up my mp3 collection that I spent years, ripping etc. Last weeks Spotify outage, felt weird. I am turning into a Ludditte..ffs!

Pangolin is awesome! github.com/fosrl/pangolin . I did follow Jim's Garage video + documentation and I was ready in less than an hour. @jimsgarage.co.uk www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Vdw... I decided to host it on a cheap VPS, found from #reddit - ionos.co.uk (1 pound /month) works fine!

Another batch of geek content has been delivered, get it now! 👇

Forced to use Wayland, and OMG everything is broken. Want to remap mouse buttons? Fuck you. Liked those consistent window decorations? FUCK YOU. Jesus christ, the more I use it the less I want to .

Sounds great. Lots of smart shit you could do with this concept in 2025, and I have no doubt Coogler can find a way to something really interesting.

This is one of the most important pieces of journalism any of us will read this year. Shows exactly how policy is made now - a scrabble of advisors trying to push an unreliable executive to pursue their agendas, at a moment’s notice www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read. He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

I am a Java developer for almost 20+ years, made my living with Java..but I feel the urge to say that, most probably Python is going to explode even further in adoption and dominate. I might be wrong ....

🚀 JDK 24 New Feature: Virtual threads now work with synchronized blocks WITHOUT pinning! In my latest tutorial, I show how this cuts execution time from 32s to 0.5s in a sample app. Check out the full guide: www.danvega.dev/blog/jdk-24-... #Java #JDK24 #VirtualThreads

Hey @datadoghq.com team - no love for Java 24 for the dd-trace-java agent? github.com/DataDog/dd-t... why? #java #jdk24 #datadog

#linux Yesterday night I felt adventurous and I tried to force upgrade my 22.04 #popOS to 24.04 (beta, alpha whatever it is). I ended up messing around my system, but the worst thing is that Cosmic DE is not even close unfortunately (despite being enthusiastic at first).

I am still pissed after so many years about the death of RSS. I was listening to a past interview of D.Costolo on @acquiredfm.bsky.social and I was like, damn I need to get back to RSS. Most probably its because of my mid life crisis hah. There are still some brave souls and websites out there

Many of the predictions about where "AI" will be a year from now have that "If you keep your foot down, a Porsche can reach the speed of light in 8 months" flavour to them.

i was listening today, another great episode from @acquiredfm.bsky.social , about Mars the choco company www.acquired.fm/episodes/mar... . And they got me into buying this book amzn.eu/d/0Ppba0v (Chocolate wars) . So interesting!!!

The MCP integration in Spring AI is second to none! Want to learn all about it? Watch this youtu.be/cE1h-rC2o2U?...

Τα παιδιά μου λενε την λεξη cucumber με τοσο Βρετανική προφορα, που μου διαλυει τον εγκέφαλο, κολλαω και δευτερολεπτα μεχρι να καταλαβω. Hoi mate ...

@stefanis.dev ha!

I am totally enjoying the Battle of Greece Expansion of Age of Empires 2 - money well spent. I must have spent 1-2 months trying to finish the `Brasidas` campaign ffs! What a great game overall.. #aoe2 #ageofempires

Nice read!

I thought that the `Costco` episode of @acquiredfm.bsky.social was like the reference episode for Retail US, but I was wrong the reference is the Walmart episode. www.acquired.fm/episodes/wal... . I feel the urge to say that Acquired is most probably the best podcast experience I had, ever .

Personal observation. Since i silent retired from Twitter (by uninstalling the app on my phone) and despite joining Bluesky - i find my self spending less time on that kind of apps/ media. Previously i was super hard core user of twitter (x) - now i sometimes dont open Bluesky for days.

Step 1 - uninstall x (Twitter) app - complete
