I shone an UV laser into my DIY Europium doped glass and you won't believe what happened next...

WaPo's reporting on Twitter paying out large sums to right wing influencers makes one thing clear to me: I need to use that site as little as possible. Because now just interacting with posts I don't like could be money in the pockets of fascists.

#introduction
Hi I'm Pierre, changed from Lego geek to computer geek at 11 when I touched a computer; they weren't that common in '80.
Studied computing at uni, became software #developer. Worked in several #startups, but not only.
Switched main OS to #linux in 1996. From time to time I contribute to #freesoftware projects, last to date being #DaggerfallUnity.
I enjoy #jazz #music (sometimes play #drums, but I need to replace my aging kit now), or #photography #nature.

just a lil reminder from our pal Garak

“American brain worms” is a thing we talk about regularly among my friends and family here in Iceland. It’s become really noticable that people who go to study in the US come back with extremely strange ideas. Noticably anti-union, libertarian (by Icelandic standards), pro-violence in all sorts of context, etc (Iceland is a broadly pacifist country with no army). You don’t see the same massive indoctrination in people who go and study in other countries.

And this works for all other corporations as well!

One of my coworkers from the UK was recently describing the notion of overcomplicating software architecture.

He used a phrase I had never encountered before…

For the past week, I have been chuckling to myself at random moments throughout the day.

Help me Mastodon you're my only hope! I saw an ad for an SF novel about a worker's revolt in space. Author's first name is Jo. Unfortunately I accidentally paged up to the top of my feed and didn't see the surname. I think it's slated for a fall release.

Are you familiar with the Land Institute? Anyways this photo comparison of the roots of wheat and Kernza can really drive home how much more carbon sequestration is possible with perennial cropping systems I think.
