GitLab CFO, Brian Robins, says they are “aligned with the goals of DOGE, because the company’s software tools aim to help people do more with less. What the Department of Government Efficiency is trying to do is what GitLab does.”

You either support fascism or you don’t. It’s binary. There’s no gray area or “aligning.”

Considering GitLab? Don’t.

Use @Codeberg instead.

China uses trade policy and investment to bind African economies to its own, secure resources and expand influence, outmaneuvering the U.S. and Japan as it positions itself as the continent's primary economic partner. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/05/07/japan/china-dominates-african-influence/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #japan #china #africajapanrelations #africachinarelations #ticad #aid #beltandroad #africa #bri #hunger #sdg #development #aid

Developer friends. I’m installing Linux on my old MacBook. What editor do you recommend?

I’m going to port my macOS accessibility app, Ratio, to Linux. I want to get it right, so I’m gonna build it there instead of on my MacBook.

Edit: I currently use Nova. I’m also a designer so I love a pretty GUI. But I’m very comfortable with CLI.

I urge all developers of #Android apps to NOT pre-emptively obey the new terms of #Google requiring you to sign up for the Android Developer Console.

It looks like Google is attempting a power grab and wants to prevent ALL installations of Android apps without official Google approval; even those installed outside Google Play.

This is an attack on both developer and user freedom and unacceptable.

Software development stereotypes:

1. Silicon valley / startup: all things web/mobile, debuggers suck, make solutions for problems that don’t exists…
2. European / 90s/2000s / gamedev: coding != programming, debuggers are lifeline, game development is fun when they are not forced upon by some multi million dollar publisher.
3. Corporate / enterprise: programs are mere tools and development is just another corporate job.
4. Open source / FSF: whatever you make just keep the source open and redistributable.

Feel free to make changes or add more stereotypes.

Hi, I'm Sean.

I'm from the oldest incorporated city in so-called #canada, #SaintJohn - home of the #irving empire.

I am an iconoclast - staunchly #antifascist, #antiracist, #anticapitalist, somewhere on the #autism spectrum, and 3 years into punishing #LongCovid. #WearAMask!!!

I've worked the last decade as #HeadOfSound at a beautiful heritage #theatre. Before that I was in #tech for a decade doing #development and #reverseEngineering. I've also worked in #electronics and other #audio fields.

I grew up in a musical family and have played in bands since 13. I'm on around 60 albums, have toured canada and the us, and am part of what is likely the most prolific band in canada: #Slugmilk.

I run a home mixing studio and a small printshop and I have a small "datacentre" which #selfhosts this #mastodon instance.

I'm here on the #fedi to learn from everyone, and to help others learn. I will help anyone with anything I can.

I'd love to meet more like-minded friends - don't be shy!

A "shareware" application is a trial which can be used at no cost, but only for a limited time or with other limitations until the user purchases a full copy. "Freeware" applications extend the concept by completely removing the time limit and by (sometimes) having no usage limitations.

Both kind of products are closed source, non-free and non-libre.

GitLab CFO, Brian Robins, says they are “aligned with the goals of DOGE, because the company’s software tools aim to help people do more with less. What the Department of Government Efficiency is trying to do is what GitLab does.”

You either support fascism or you don’t. It’s binary. There’s no gray area or “aligning.”

Considering GitLab? Don’t.

I guess maybe it's time I update my intro, given that A LOT changed since 2023 (and many new people are coming to the fediverse after the latest changes into the social network space)...

Well, I'm still André, a #Brazilian living in #Germany since 2019, that part didn't change.

I migrated back to #software #development in 2023, and have worked with #php and #symfony since then (moving to #laravel soon, though).

I still like to spend time with my wife and our 2 (🖤 ) #cats, #gaming, watching #anime, and in terms of music I have mostly ignored production and my guitars are collecting dust since I bought started with the #drums.

I was diagnosed with #autism and #adhd back in 2023, and while the year of 2023 was a disaster in itself, I think I learned to live better with my own characteristics and quirks, and reinforced to myself the idea that being different or unique, and letting that visible to the world, is not bad.

#intro #drumming #audhd

Hello! We never did a proper #introduction.

We're an #OpenSource and #NonProfit #research, #design and #development organisation, based in #Cornwall in the UK. We actually care about stuff, and mostly work on #environment, #climate and #social projects.

We're all a bit #generalist, and many of our projects are rooted in rural issues, rather than being city-centric. Always open to collabs.

Most of us are on here: @nebogeo @amberfirefly @yaxu @cassandreces and @kanderson_rs

Today I officially launched the individual commercial use license for komorebi, the tiling window manager for Windows

https://lgug2z.com/software/komorebi

I had a lot of anxiety around this announcement, but the feedback from the core community has been very positive, and I even had license sales today! ♥️

komorebi's commercial use licensing is an honor system; there is no phoning home and there are no activation keys or licensing servers - I really hope that this will be a sustainable model which can be maintained indefinitely

komorebi is a project that I have spent half a decade building so far, and will probably spend many more decades improving and maintaining

My hope for this year is that introducing commercial use licensing will eventually make it financially viable for me to work on komorebi full-time - and who knows, maybe I could even start making all those jokes about a cross-platform tiling window manager a reality

I like that @deno_land tries to be an all-in solution. I like that about go as well. Good tooling, rich standard library. What is difficult, though, is that the js ecosystem is so fragmented. For instance, I’m trying to use drizzle ORM with SQLite. That’s far from straightforward. They don’t include examples for Deno. Translating commands to how Deno likes them is a hassle and I run into issues with migrations #development #javascript #deno

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗙𝗢𝗦𝗦?

#FOSS means "Free and Open Source software".

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗙/𝗟𝗢𝗦𝗦?

#FLOSS means "Free / Libre and Open Source software".

Both acronyms identify applications that are not closed source and that offer full transparency of their inner workings and #development processes.
Be careful, as these acronyms are used where a rough categorization is needed and their meaning depends on the context where you find them.

Electron-based "apps" aren't applications

They're just web sites with anxiety

Just going to nonchalantly shove in some awareness to my GitHub Sponsorship.

If you value my contributions to Open Source and Laravel, just leave a small tip or become a sponsor. It helps me pay the bills.

@inkscape isn't just a beauty and powerful application for #artists, but with extensions like #gCODEtools and #LinuxCNC it becomes a free & open hub for #CAD & #CAM projects. It only requires the investment of a @Raspberry_Pi@raspberrypi.social 5 to set this up. Amazing that it works so much better than #Adobe #Illustrator while cheaper as an iMac (including the CNC machine), isn't it?

Please donate whatever you can, to improve it further with full #CMYK and @GTK support...

My paper on adaptation after-effects in autistic and non-autistic teenagers is out in Autism Research! 🎉

"Autistic and nonautistic adolescents do not differ in adaptation to gaze direction"

These autistic teens show a large adaptation after-effect behaviourally, though we don't see the after-effects in EEG, and we try to interpret this in light of Predictive Processing accounts of autism.

For everyone wanting to test out OS/1337 there's good news:

You can just clone the #git repo or pull it as #zip:
https://github.com/OS-1337/OS1337

and then just run ./scripts/build.sh

and within a few mins it'll spit out a bootable #1440kB image in /build/0.CORE/ to put on a 3,5" FDD or run in a VM [may it be #QEMU or #VirtualBox]...

Thanks to @SweetAIBelle for the generous contributions!

So apparently server administrators on the #Fediverse won’t be able to name custom emoji in their native languages and expect them to work in Mastodon, because according to @Gargron non-ASCII signs are hard to input and diacritics shouldn’t change the meaning of words:

https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/28572#issuecomment-1878952504

No, in my view emoji identifiers shouldn’t be ‘straightforward to input for everyone’. Custom emoji are local to a server; they should be straightforward to input for the users of that server. People from other servers don’t ever have to type their names (unless their administrators choose to add them to their own server), so their ability to type them is completely irrelevant.

Why should a server made specifically for people speaking Russian or Japanese have to use ASCII for their emoji identifiers? Their users have no trouble typing Cyrillic or Kanji signs; it’s what they already do when they make a post; it’s how they normally talk. Why force them to use a different language/alphabet when typing emoji identifiers?

Moreover, linking the username issue makes no sense whatsoever. Usernames are typed across servers and it makes sense to impose stricter technical limitations so more people can read, write and recognise them. This is not the case for emoji; you rarely ever need to type other servers’ emoji identifiers. Normally you don’t even get to see them; you only get to see the picture they represent! Assuming server admins do their job responsibly, there is zero added confusion for anyone involved.

I understand that Unicode is complex, language support is challenging and compromises might be necessary at times. But can we please accept the existence of different languages and writing systems as a reality that we should try to accommodate for, rather than change or circumvent? Yes, a and á are different signs. Yes, they might radically change the meaning of a word. That’s not a proposition for us to accept or reject; that’s the reality of our multilingual world, and should be the basis of our discussion.

Don't have time for a banner grab but still interested in basic info about a server?

Well taking advantage of a server's inability to process '%' b/c it expects two hex digits to follow; in many cases it errors

Preventing this from happening is actually easy

It requires an essential secure programming principle: verify, validate, and sanitize your input

This principle should be applied to EVERY input, and yes the URL is input

Very excited to share this preprint I wrote with Danaja Rutar, @LorijnZ , @francescopoli & Sabine Hunnius.

We first introduce #PredictiveProcessing and define its terms with *lots* of examples, and then point out that it cannot yet account for
#development

PP claims to be a unifying account of #cognition , and as such should apply to all humans.

We propose two additions which are necessary not only for completeness of PP,
but also for #devsci to be able to use it.

Here is our paper! My #research shows how certain adult neurons resist activity changes.

On a macro level, this could provide a new hypothesis for why adults exhibit resistance to #learning, #anxiety, and #addiction.

A key question is why? It may not only be a negative byproduct of age but could be an evolutionary advantage to resist trauma or external influence after we've found "successful strategies" while younger.

Just updating my #introduction:

I'm André, a #Brazilian living in #Germany since 2019.

I'm migrating back to #software #development after about 7 years in PO/PM roles.

I like to spend my free time with my wife and our 3 #cats, ride around in a #bicycle, do some #gaming, and watch #anime. I also like #music #production and sometimes try to play the #guitar.

I have recently found out that I am #autistic and have #adhd, and I feel like I'll finally learn to live with these characteristics.
