@parasurv hey, microsoft hardware usually isn't the worst. i've had an intellimouse explorer and it was quite good and i used it till it was completely broken :)

@parasurv go for the rolls royce and get a topre! :P

i like my standard cherry blue mx keyboard, but i can understand if one finds them too loud :)

@thor i think if put in a seperate table there is no problem with blobs, it shouldn't even make queries perform bad.

@thor i find that löfbergs lila kokaffee is rather pleasant without much bitterness. in germany, ultra dark roasts are the norm, so it might be that this colors my opinion a bit :)

...and the app is back: play.google.com/store/apps/det. Huge thanks to everyone for your patience and support on this, and apologies for the inconvenience. Thanks also to Google for being transparent and apologetic once we'd established contact. Now, back to preparing for @FOSDEM@twitter.com!

Today I learned that aggressive baby goats have to wear horn noodles to avoid hurting each other

We recently started using Element instead of Slack because it's end-to-end encrypted and ... not owned by Salesforce (who have contracts with Border Patrol, among other nonsense.)

What's up with this @Google@twitter.com?

Almost makes you feel like app store monopolies are a bad idea... twitter.com/element_hq/status/

Don’t be Google

Google has lost touch with their roots. What they did today is the equivalent of banning a web browser because it could access unapproved sites.

Unfortunately, the only effective appeals process is raising a stir on social media. twitter.com/element_hq/status/

@balajis@twitter.com Not just business: @element_hq@twitter.com is used by the French and German governments. This is a slippery slope to censorship but also one that will lock in a number of US messaging systems which will further encourage a walled garden internet as even Western govts seek sovereign solutions

In the last year Google has banned: the Element app, the LBRY app, and several Fediverse apps. If you get all of your apps from a single corporation, be it Google or Apple, you should make an effort to change that.

If you have an Android phone F-Droid is an alternative app repository, and it’s very easy to install! All of the previously mentioned apps have been available from F-Droid throughout being dropped from the Play Store.

If you have an iPhone, please consider other options for your next device. Apple does not respect you enough as a user to consider you possibly more capable of deciding what you should install on your phone than they are. That is absurd; please stop rewarding this behavior with your money.

_and_ the matrix ppl should drag google to an EU-court for this shit. france and germany adopted matrix as their messenger solution for some branches of the government. there should be enough leverage. wouldn't be the first time the EU had fun with valley bros in front of courts.

regarding element play store fuckup and people arguing that web apps are more censorship resistant: web browsers already have censorship builtin, the whole "sAfE bRowSinG" shit supposed to block malware is exactly what will be used next to fuck with websites.

Google has suspended Element (@matrix) from the Play Store for "Sexual Content and Profanity". Basically same story as with Subway Tooter a while back. Element is to Matrix as Chrome is to the web. Curiously, Chrome is still on the Play Store.

I created this "Maslow's hierarchy of jobs" about 20 years go. Iv'e found to be good guide for when was time to move on (or stay). If you're failing at one or more of the lower 5 levels (pay not likely to continue, getting paid but nobody cares what you do) might be time to find a more productive gig.

You probably won't see this from HR in goals setting and performance management sessions.

did you know that Hitler used a telephone? well, he did, and therefore, phones are evil.

Google have suspended Element in the Play Store without notifying us; we're reaching out to find out what's going on. Apologies for the inconvenience; in the interim there's f-droid.org/en/packages/im.vec but it's a few versions behind. We'll post updates here.
