Yo, Fediverse! I'm Paul, 20 years old, from Germany (around Dortmund) and spend a bunch of time (maybe a bit much) thinking about niche stuff, usually somehow related to technology. I like trees, both as data structures and biological occurrences.
I know some stuff about:
- Linux
- FOSS
- Shitposting
- (Surreal) memes
- Sustainable technology
- Photography
- Politics of US and DE
I'd like to know more about:
- Qt
- Windows
- Electronics
- Embedded software
- Economics

9. Diese Prüfung ist weitgehend abgeschlossen und ich beabsichtige, mein weiteres Vorgehen in Kürze öffentlich zu machen. Bis dahin bitte ich noch um etwas Geduld!
I'm happy Intel has chosen to open source a whole bunch of firmware code, maybe this will re-gain them a bit of good will

I have my issues with #MSTeams, but the rate at which they're innovating is impressive

The German city of Bühl created "Palim! Palim!" as a #FreeSoftware #video #conferencing platform on top of #Jitsi. The feedback they received is encouraging:
"Many citizens express their personal thanks to us and we have stopped counting how many municipalities have approached us with great interest. I believe that Free Software is currently experiencing an incredible boost and that the sensitivity for data sovereignty is growing rapidly."

#Pipewire: Terrible? Awesome?
I'm tempted to see the controversy similar to those around systemd and pulseaudio, both of which appear to me to be generally good.

@alatiera I don't hate the project, it's actually (and have been for more than I remember) my desktop.
But I prefer not being silent on this.
Blaming the US government is an option. Dreaming of FLOSS projects reconsidering where they're registered is another option. Dreaming of FLOSS projects using branches/subsidiaries/whatever outside the US to circumvent the US gov banning some individuals, is another option. And so on...
More or less in the same vein https://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2005/03/msg00491.html
It actually shocked me a bit. Newer GNOME apps (indicator: header bar) are fine on Wayland, but everything Qt (yes, all KDE stuff too) is stuck on XWayland because it ignores the relevant environment variable.
To find out whether an application is running under native #Wayland or XWayland, open up xeyes and look where it follows you. When the eyes move you're over an #XWayland window.

Here is a template in PDF format of the Mastodon Paper-Toy.
You will need scissors, glue and a cutter. It may take a bit of patience as well ^^

Als vermutlich erstes Ticketsystem am Markt ist pretix seit heute in der Lage, Sitzplätze auf Basis eines Mindestabstandes automatisch zu blocken und gleichzeitig den Saal trotzdem maximal auszulasten.
Liebe Corona-Richtlinien, wir sind bereit!

It is now punishing me for these toots by not caching compilations anymore and saying I can't restart debugging because of an error when I haven't changed anything.

Calendar weeks are nice. They make intuitive planning and estimations realy easy.
Great that out of all possible things *that* is where electronic calendar support is bad.
