I am a software developer interested in the weird and surprising bits of it, the stuff that sometimes brings everything to a halt or helps you out. More generally, I'm interested in how we construct, convey and care for communal spaces. Maps, architecture, language, and many other things. Always antifascist.

I appreciate if you interact with me before you follow me.

Habe nach dem Weggang von Jack Dorsey von BlueSky das erste Mal bewusst vom dezentralen Social Network gelesen. Ich bin ja immer neugierig auf neue Protokolle und Plattformen, aber Nostr scheint sich extrem in der Crypto/FreedomOfSpeech-Ecke zu positionieren und es ist da gar nicht zu erwarten, dass es angenehme Ecken gibt, oder sehe ich das falsch?

@leitmedium meinem eindruck nach zieht es vor allem rechtslibertäre an, "censorship resistance" und proof of work scheinen dafür ein relativ zuverlässiges rezept zu sein

my smashed on the floor. touchscreen is slowly degrading; some letters impossible to type; and some buttons impossible to click...
Starting to think i have reached my limit... (cc @limitesnumeriques )

What phone should i get to install (e/OS/) ? Looking for an ethical alternative.

@computersandblues@post.lurk.org avatar

@marieverdeil i'd look for something like a oneplus 6 or oneplus 6t. you should be able to find it used for an ok price, it has quite decent hardware, and was / is widely used, so there's a bit of momentum around it regarding driver support and stuff like that.

also, it's common to need to ask for vendor-approval to unlock your phone when installing other operating systems. this can get icky and annoying for various reasons. that's not the case with these models, you can just unlock it yourself.

Wirtschaftskammer Wien erfragt in ihrer aktuellen Unternehmerumfrage: "Sind Sie für oder gegen den Bau des Lobautunnels?". Hm, wo genau liegt nochmal die Relevanz und Kompetenz in dieser Frage bei der WKW? Braucht man jetzt wieder wirtschaftliche Laienmeinungen zur Verkehrsplanung weil einem die wissenschaftlichen Verkehrs- und Umweltgutachten nicht schmecken? Seufz.

@freebliss das schema ist ja leider irgendwie gängig, egal ob in wien, hamburg oder in berlin in der friedrichstraße: gefragt werden besitzerinnen von (meist luxuriösem) einzelhandel, und es wird dann aus deren perspektive folgerichtig konservativ lamentiert, dass große autos nun einmal platz zum stehen und fahren brauchen, und dass ihnen also die schneisen in die innenstadt freigehalten werden müssen. würde mich freuen, wenn nicht-kommerzielle stadtnutzung mindestens so viel platz bekäme (abgesehen davon, dass sich reiche individualistinnen vermutlich auch davon überzeugen ließen, den öpnv zu nehmen, um in grünere innenstädte zu kommen)

i installed on a xiaomi poco f1, and i'm facing issues with wifi firmware crashes. i have been unable to figure it out for quite a while. anybody who could help me debug it, or at least find a way to reload the firmware without having to reboot the device? 🙏 it would already help me a lot if i could chat someone that knows a bit about linux firmware and the networking stack and ask some questions.

@computersandblues@post.lurk.org avatar

it's a bit annoying to figure this out because it happens irregularly. it does seem to happen much more frequently when running from the battery, but this may be a false trail

i feel like i've said this before, but i just hate it so much how common police control has become when crossing european borders. entering bavaria from austria by train the first thing that happens is an announcement that border patrol will stop and search the train, please keep your ids and passports ready. the bavarian government is proud to show no mercy against migrants, and the tension is felt among all passengers. there is no way to fortify your borders without fortifying the society they are allegedly protecting

from what i can tell the font doesn't know about the time of day, so you have to appropriately pick the variant but it's still a really nice use of opentype features
