What's to stop Musk, who's already tried meddling with German elections, from seizing Zelenskyy's, or any other European leader's X account, and posting something with dire geopolitical consequences? We're way past the point where it's wise for European leaders and institutions to rely on a […]

«The new US administration has thrown the entire academy into chaos, threatening global health. This article is a call for the #openscience community to practice what it preaches and lead by example in defending science.» https://doi.org/10.54900/eher5-hdf87

It is very hard to accept, but it is no longer safe to move EU governments & societies to US clouds. Not only is it dangerous to do so, it is also likely flat out illegal in the near feature. We're trading convenience for utter dependence on a mad king. It should stop […]

You know why we Germans are so pedantic about data protection? Someone around 90 years ago went through all records available, selected people with certain criteria, with the help of IBM, and then killed them all. We don't want to be on any list. And now the US Gov and Musk is trying to get […]

Ik ben gisteren naar een mooie uitvoering van de "Canto Ostinato" geweest in het muziekgebouw in #eindhoven. Uitgevoerd op orgel en trompet door Aart Bergwerff & Eric Vloeimans, kleine uitsnede uit een ander optreden: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehg9oO_giVU . In Eindhoven was het op het […]

🛩 As a young teenager, I used to be extremely fond of MS Flight Simulator. After not having played for over two decades, I took this hobby up again during the holidays last December; I bought some fancy equipment, and took to the virtual skies again. I'm […] [Original post on social.anaproy.nl]

My #sxmo talk at #fosdem2025 last week is now available on-line: https://video.fosdem.org/2025/h2214/fosdem-2025-5926-sxmo-a-mobile-ui-for-hackers.av1.webm

Given the ongoing #coup in the #UnitedStates and the ensuing increased security and privacy issues, I am refusing to actively contribute to the usage of the #Microsoft #email service of the #UniversityOfAmsterdam. I am archiving my incoming email to my own […] [Original post on social.edu.nl]

How am I supposed to peel all these stickers I got at #fosdem2025 off their backing ?? I'm a software-guy, peeling off physical stickers is actually hard !

For the first time ever, I met actual people using #sxmo and #postmarketos, in the flesh! At #fosdem2025 .

Goede beslissing van NWO om met Twitter te stoppen per vandaag, maar de website heeft nog even wel een update nodig om geen mixed signals uit te stralen. Wellicht vervangen door linkjes naar een officieel NWO account op de fediverse op bv https://social.edu.nl/ ? #nwo #twexit

@manuelsalmann Schön dich hier im Fediverse zu treffen (falls du hier noch aktiv bist). Ich höre immer gerne eure Easy German podcast an! Danke! Ich war gerade beim Episode 533 wo du den poetischen Musik von Lampe empfohlen hast. Gefällt mir!

The only end-of-the year 'wrap' I like to post is the one from #bookwyrm, a fediverse platform for tracking and sharing all books you read. I'd say 2024 was a decent #reading year for me. See […] [Original post on social.anaproy.nl]

In the scope of the Globalise project we've worked on automatic language identification of letters that were shipped back home by the VOC (East India Company) from 1610 to 1796, as preserved by the National Archive. They've been digitised, and automatically transcribed. While the vast majority […]

For the first time ever I actually resorted to using an LLM (llama3.1, offline) to write a simple function for me, in lua (because I don't know lua). I have to admit it worked out nicely though I do feel a bit dirty now... #llm #ai

Yesterday I received a second-hand laptop to run #postmarketos and #sxmo on; a Lenovo #thinkpad x13s with ARM CPU . #alpinelinux #sway

That's a first, here I am happily coding along, and then neovim just crashes on me! nvim: /usr/src/debug/neovim/neovim/src/nvim/marktree.c:375: unintersect_node: Assertion

Ziemlich scifi dieser #Tatort mit Borowski heutenabend! Nicht alles ganz glaubhauft, aber wichtige Themen und schön gemacht. Hat mir gefallen! Ich gehe jetzt mal sicherheitshalbe überprüfen ob meine #homeautomation nicht klug geworden ist und mich töten will...

Last week we set the clock back one hour, today the US collectively sets the clock back to 1933 ...Times are going to be tough ...

Today the US decides whether to take a sharp right turn towards full-on fascism or hobble on on the bumpy road of flawed democracy. US citizens are the only ones who can vote (if even; voter suppression), but their vote has large implications for the rest of us unfortunately (Ukraine and the […]

This is a nice day to be working on man pages for #sxmo , and ensure our documentation is all up to date, as on this day in 1971 the first edition of the man pages were published in the Unix Programmer's Manual. Documentation only works if it's complete […] [Original post on social.anaproy.nl]

99,9% of smartphone users already enjoyed seeing a clock and status icons on their phone's lockscreen. Now we #sxmo users are joining the mainstream crowd (something we do only reluctantly if we really need to, and in our own hackable & minimalist way!). I […] [Original post on social.anaproy.nl]

Auf der Weide, hungrig nach Fleisch, die Haikuh

Yesterday evening we attended a beautiful #starwars #concert in #eindhoven, performed by the Ukrainian International Symphony Orchestra and the National Choir of Ukraine "Dumka''. I must say, the theme of a fight against an evil empire surely gets an extra dimension this way. 🇺🇦

I'm reading a bit about the programming language Gleam today, as presented in this nice presentation by Dillon Mulroy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyEWc0-kbkw #gleam

Nice presentation by Magnus Ahltorp at the #CLARIN2024 conference about "word rain", a visualisation technique that retains the simplicity of a word cloud, but making the results more semantically meaningful and interpretable. (source at https://github.com/CDHUppsala/word-rain)

@Geeky_sebastian Welkom terug op de fediverse! Leuk dat je er toch weer bent. :)

🇩🇪 Der #tatort heutenabend war gut!

De tuinkussens liggen weer in de schuur, leuk dat ik ze nog een weekendje kon gebruiken, maar nu is het toch echt "tot volgend jaar" vrees ik. Ik zal ze missen.

I finally set up my own PeerTube instance at https://video.anaproy.nl/a/proycon/ and migrated all my tech & music videos there. I'm now free from the data-hungry monetizing clutches of YouTube. If you want, you can follow my videos at @[email protected] from anywhere in the fediverse (I […]

I think I finally got my Jitsi Meet server running again, now I can finally parry the incoming barrage of Zoom and even worse, Teams, invites again. #jitsi

Ik ben al mijn leven lang groot fan van de musical Jesus Christ Superstar en speel de muziek ook op de piano. Maar tot vanavond had ik eigenlijk nog nooit een echte live uitvoering gezien eigenlijk, nu dus wel! Zojuist terug van een hele mooie (en heftige!) uitvoering daarvan in #eindhoven met […]

After running #hyprland for a few years I'm switching to #riverwm now as it is maturing (input-method popups \o/) and seems a bit closer aligned to my ideals. #wayland

Ted Chiang as eloquent as ever: "The selling point of generative A.I. is that these programs generate vastly more than you put into them, and that is precisely what prevents them from being effective tools for artists. [...] Many novelists have had the experience of being approached by […]
