New(ish) account, new home.I'm a freelance tech writer / software developer / KM project manager based in Europe. Digitally, I was born in the 90s. So I grew up eating cyberpunk books, BBSes, home computers, hacking, then the first doses of Internet and the Web.In the 90s and the first 00s I developed my (ahem) "philosophy": digital spaces are (can be, should be) autonomous zones where different cultures, and sub/counter-cultures, can thrive.These are the years of the enshittification of Internet, but it can't rain forever (cit.) and I see the Fediverse as a new opportunity for some of us to recreate better and safer digital spaces.That's the "vision". Than there's the daily life: I write code (awful, mostly), help companies in managing their knowledge bases, write technical documentation, sometimes write tech articles for (mostly unknown) business tech manazines.In the spare time, I tinker with Linux, SCB boards and "old" languages like Forth, Assembly and Lisp. I'm convinced that permacomputing and, maybe, collapse computing are our digital future. So, "back to basics" seems a good idea.I have a blog that I consider more a digital garden. No daily or even regular posts, when I feel I have something to share, I write. It's very basic, because it's like a perma-garden: no strange languages, web framework, dynamic stuff or whatever.That's all, I guess. Nice to meet ya.#softwaredevelopment #km #linux #forth #assembly #permacomputing #collapsecomputing #solarpunk

Do you remember the old days when programming languages weren’t still religions?

@archydragon Me neither, but at least when I learned programming the legit generic choices were just C and Pascal. Other older languages were considered too specific.

@ajsadauskas @futurebird The Pi 400 is a perfect example of a computer kids can use to learn computing stuff. It’s the home computing model, but technologically more advanced. The Pi approach is also good to teach kids what’s inside a pc and why. And to handle an OS that isn’t completely focused on making its users dumber. Problem is, is anyone still interested in learning this stuff at kids’ age? This, I don’t know.

@plasmawiz @ajsadauskas @futurebird I agree completely with you. I tooted about it in the past, sounding even more conspiratorial. It’s ok. Knowing tech means having action on it, at least a bit. Uninformed users can be exploited more easily and don’t really know what’s happening to them and to their data. I think people should be radicalized about all this, but I also know that’s a lost cause… now. In the future, it will be different. That’s also why kids should learn the basics of what’s behind the magical digital services we all use.

@futurebird “Hey Ahmed, draw a snake with feet”“Makes no sense, Naheem”“Yeah but let’s draw and bury it. Think about people finding it many years from now!”“Ha ha yeah, those future morons will be really confused”“And also write that it’s a god or a pharaoh!”“You betcha”

@Natanox Is the GF66 battery so bad? I played a little with it (it was a friend's PC) and I liked the performance with some fairly basic games. But of course I had not the time to test how long it would last.All summed up, is it a good product or not? I'm asking because said friend is selling it and so maybe... just maybe...

@Natanox Hmmm. 80 minutes is really bad, yes. Even if my idea is using it as a dev workstation, so with no heavy-heavy tasks. Sadness... I kinda liked it.

I don't want YouTube video to watch, I want pages to read. YMMV of course, but I don't want to spend ten minutes to watch something that I can read in probably five, and with more satisfaction.If there's nothing to SEE, why a video? We all know by now that microlearning is useless crap.

Police wants smartphone makers to enable some form of IMEI-based blocking, to prevent theft. It could work, sure, but it can also be abused easily.Or am I just paranoid as usual?

@neauoire Don't worry. I'm not losing my permacomputing soul. https://bitzero.cloud/concepts.html

No firefox, I do not want you to summarize this webpage. FFS.

Looking at how much tech companies already want me to store my own stuff on their servers, I think the future they have for us is dumb terminals connected to a multitude of cloud services ranging from business to gaming. So, time for us to shake the dust off our new and old IT devices, learn what we can about permacomputing and self hosting, and regain - or reinforce - our freedom. Disclaimer for our reply guy friends: I know that things like Azure PCs or cloud gaming already exist. I’m trying to be generic here.
