PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: NEVER, I repeat, NEVER write your next 200,000 words novel in Google Docs. Otherwise you might get rugpulled.

It's not just Google, of course. When you trust your data to ANY #cloud service, you can get rugpulled at any moment without warning. Remember, they have the de-facto control over the data, and you don't.

This guy gets it: "There’s also this oily smell of AI and machine learning in the tech atmosphere, where I no longer feel relevant and I seem to have stopped caring about new tech when I noticed that 8 in 10 articles are about some new LLM or image generation model. I guess I like the smell of wood better." https://alinpanaitiu.com/blog/woodworking-escape-from-software-absurdity/

I hate when people say only paid services can be respecting;

No? A lot of the essential privacy /services is free, open source, operated by a non profit.

Meanwhile, a lot of paid services STILL manage to be completely not privacy respecting.

Even if you pay for everything you use, you might be as better off as someone who didn't even pay for anything.

Yes there are valid cases where it's better to pay for a service, but don't undermine free, , software-

Looking for current antivirus recommendations in the US please. I haven’t kept up and sites I use to rely on for info have deteriorated. Wish I had time to learn Linux. I use Malwarebytes; is the Windows Defender really enough? Want to get away from bloatware like Norton (crypto miner) & avoid spyware (Kaspersky, Avast). TYSM for any input

#OpenSource world's #BrucePerens emits draft #PostOpenZeroCost License
The basic idea is companies making more than $5 million annually by using #PostOpen #software in a paid-for product would be required to pay 1 percent of their revenue back to this administrative organization, a 501(c)(6) non-profit, which would distribute the funds to the maintainers and #developers of the participating open source project(s)

Watermark with an image! Until now, we had the option to have a text as a visual watermark, but now there can also be images!

Patch in your company logo, or whatever to your exported photos!

Watermark with an image!

You could add a visual textual watermark to your converted and exported images and photos in before, but now you can also add a watermark image as well!

BBC: Airline keeps mistaking 101-year-old woman for baby. "A 101-year-old woman keeps getting mistaken for a baby because of an error with an airline's booking system. The problem occurs because American Airlines' systems apparently cannot compute that Patricia, who did not want to share her surname, was born in 1922, rather than 2022." https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9wz7pvvjypo

How did they migrate from Jira to OpenProject? And how well did the employees cope with this change?

Spannend, wie Nachhaltigkeit auch in der IT mittlerweile ein Thema ist. Wenn dies evt. zukünftig Verkaufsargumente sein werden von Produkte, neben dem Datenschutz & Co. dazu.

Kolumnistin Elisabeth Maier beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, welche Kriterien für nachhaltige Software und ihre Entwicklung gelten sollten.«

I started programming in 1982. Though I'm known as a #Perl developer, I tried to remember every other languages I've programmed in.

#BASIC, #C, 6809 Assembler, #Javascript, VBScript (and its many variants), #Java, #Prolog, #RakuLang, #Python, #Kotlin, #COBOL, Easytrieve, and probably a few others.

I wish I had gotten a job in Prolog, primarily because I loved what I could create with it. I don't love programming; I love creating.

What are you languages?

Q: Could you advise whether to format a new external drive as APFS or Mac OS Extended?

Interesting question indeed.

What format would you use?
