Ik, 43-jaar oude #autist , zoek een baan want UWV wil me aan het werk hebben.
Ik zou niet weten hoe. Ik zou niet weten waar. Ik zou niet weten wat dan.
Ik zit al sinds 2007 thuis. Maar goed, ik ben nu aangemeld bij "jados" die een maandenlange wachtlijst heeft.
Heeft iemand ideeën of mogelijkheden in de regio #Rotterdam ?
Ik heb affiniteit met computers, en kan deze ook opbouwen. Verder #Linux en andere #FOSS oplossingen.
Alles is bespreekbaar.
NHS England made its public code repositories private by default, despite warnings from the #FreeSoftware community, including the @fsfe
UK Digital Service has now published guidance making clear that hiding publicly funded code reduces scrutiny, reuse, and trust.

#NHS should reverse course and implement "Public Money? Public Code!”. Others must not copy this mistake.

I have a new blog post about the annotate-in-place note taking pattern in Emacs!
This pattern brings the benefits of annotating physical documents with pen/paper to the digital note taking space, with a ton more features. It supports a variety of sources (files, web pages, elfeed, nov.el, etc...), and it can be easily extended to support new ones (elfeed, pubmed, wombag, etc....).
Enjoy!

If your YouTube client is not working, it's not just you, there's a change from Youtube affecting a bunch of alternative clients like NewPipe on Android or FreeTube on PC, it's best to follow the relevant issues, wait patiently for a fix, and don't spam the people running these projects, because tbh it's not their fault, and also, they're doing this as volunteers

There are a LOT of Fediverse projects out there!
If you're a techy person interested in self-hosting Fediverse platforms, you might like to check out the "Delightful Fediverse" list which tries to feature every Fediverse project available:

Happy International Day for Biological Diversity! 🌱
A diverse ecosystem is a strong ecosystem. In the tech world, NetBSD brings vital diversity by proving that clean, portable, and secure code can run on virtually any architecture. This adaptability keeps computing open and accessible to everyone.
Let's keep the digital ecosystem diverse. Consider supporting the NetBSD Foundation today by contributing code, writing documentation, or making a donation! 💻🚩

What worked at 100 users broke at 5,000
Recent events have made me realise something.
In the early days, when PieFed was tiny (it’s still tiny I guess) me being really engaged with the community was a huge strength. I knew immediately what was going on and could release a fix/change really fast and people loved that. In contrast it made the other projects and their devs seem slow and distant.
It worked great. For quite a while.
But now PieFed has thousands of users and there are haters and there are bugs and there are feature requests, etc etc and now what used to be a strength has become a danger and a weakness. Me jumping onto every issue and responding every time someone @ rimu’s me drags me into stuff, destroys my focus and leaves me on the verge of burnout. If people can troll me into behaving erratically (they can!) then it stalls my work and when I behave badly it makes the whole project look bad.
Now I understand why larger projects’ devs keep some distance. It’s the only way to keep working while the storm rages outside.
It looks like I’m going to have to put in some insulating layers between me and the wider fediverse. Defined communication channels for feature requests, places to report bugs, delegate to others some/more of the community management, put together a FAQ and more docs, and so on.
There will have to be some debates, issues and conspiracy theories that are left alone and not debunked by me personally. Internet chatter is just not something I can be putting as much time into as I used to. Realistically that point was passed months ago but I lacked the experience needed to spot it at the time.
Although unpleasant for me personally this growth is a good problem for PieFed to have. It just means my focus and strategy needs to change, to protect my attention & energy and serve the community as well as I can over the long term.

If you love tech but hate tech billionaires, free open source software aka #FOSS is a solution!
Don't give your time or money to those who try to control everything on this planet instead spend it on small developers coding their brains out!❤️
Have awesome free software, (maybe) donate to the small or single developers once in a while and stop feeding the billionaires!
I love #OpenBSD (and all the BSDs, heck all the #FOSS OSes, they're all amazing), but y'all, this is a bit sad:
