Developer and people person, eager to make friends. From Russia, but like better the rest of the world. Feel free to drop me a line.
#foss #donations
I believe, that big companies heavily using open source software (Linux, Nginx) should donate to the developers of the said software.
What happens now is they just allow developers to fix bugs in that software (in their free time mostly).
I see a huge imbalance here and hate the corporate world for that. (Yes, to me it should be all rainbows and unicorns. But honestly, companies, $200 a month! But no, nothing.)
#russia #panopticon
Yesterday Russia won football match. We had lot (LOT!) of cheering crowds here in Moscow. Ironically, it was 1st of July -- day, when Yarovaya law is coming into effect (but nobody cares about internet prices) and prices for water+gas are rising by 4-6% (different regions) (nobody cares too).
I usually like, when people around me are happy and optimistic, but yesterday was just not that day.
#hashtags
Really, do you know any usable twitter-like service with a way to subscribe to hashtags? (good ones, and blacklist bad ones)
Is it hard to implement/maintain?
Reclaiming RSS
“Before Twitter, before algorithmic timelines filtered our reality for us, before surveillance capitalism, there was RSS: Really Simple Syndication … As we move away from the centralised web to the peer web, it’s time to rediscover, re-embrace, and reclaim RSS.”
A long time ago we had a small microblogging platform "jabber bot + web interface". And it was actually like RSS, but you could also subscribe to tags, blacklist and whitelist users and tags, etc.
So it was highly customizable.
And now we're back to those simplistic interfaces and functions with all this Telegram craze.
Everyone and their dog has Telegram channel and it's pain to read them all and switch between them.
Give me back my microblogs of 2010. :)
Hey guys, nice to meet you etc. :)
I'm software dev (love coding), traveller (love all kinds of outdoor sports), curious about new stuff, love meeting new people. English is not my native language, so sorry if you notice mistakes.
I have lot of curiousity about distributed applications, that's why I'm here. Hope this will be a nice journey. :)
