@z428 @schestowitz I would love to self host but am as you said worried about getitng it wrong and my solution being more insecure.
@z428 @schestowitz A lot of the people I know seem to lack 'technical' expertise, in additional to ot caring.
There was a post on twitter, someone asking what scares you the most about twitter, one reply (must be heavy facebook user) said 'nothin' i posted a reply that had a link t the daily mail report on a former facebook moderator saying about what is on facebook and how horrifc it is.
So even wehn you sayto people fb is full of very vile, hateful and illigal material they just don't care, and some of these people are meant to safeguard children adn youg people.
One of the reasons I prefer to talk to children and young people they seem to under stand things, sure they know what a cloud is, but I think I can have a decent discussion with them regarding cloud computing as we are here, it is just something to consider with raising any sort of conspiracy but just to are in mind that cloud computerbelongs to someone else.
@globcoco Loos like there are no plans to run courses remotely.. I have sent them an invite anyway.
@z428 @schestowitz
Good point
@cybeardjm Good point, so fare my e-mail telling the local diversity group about the discourse forum and the topic on diversity has gone unanswered, they complain about lack of inclusion / diversity but then ignore attempts to reach out and include people.
@z428 @schestowitz It is probably down to swareness a lot of people just seem to use cloud as convenience i do but not fo private / sensitive data
@debacle For those not sure what this is:
Gajim is a fully-featured XMPP client
@nebunez Boosted, good luck with your search.
Hey fediverse!
I'm looking for some motivated computer programmers to learn and collaborate with.
I am the sole developer at my job, and the (mostly) sole developer for all of my side projects; and to be frank, I've been lonely.
My goals are to further study mathematics and computer programming fundamentals in order to become a true professional and not just some "guy who makes webapps". I want to contribute meaningfully to my field and the world.
Feel free to boost, dm, and share links.
@ademalsasa I used to build #KDE from sources back in the 1.x and 2.x era. On a SparcStation 4, it took about one day to build Qt, KDE, and Konqueror (both the file manager and my browser of choice).
g++ was incredibly slow, and there was some heavily templated library used by KDE that was making it swap 😰

#DRM is annoying and make me feel like I am treated as a criminal.
I paid for it and purchased it the legit way. Why would you put barriers in front of me when I try to use, read, listen to, play, watch it.
Why do people who pirate get to have better user experience and more options than I do ![]()
@schestowitz "There is no cloud, just someone elses computer" People need to be reminded of that however they feel about cloud computing,
If the cloud belongs to someone else, they may have no attachment to the importance , value (including sentimental value) of the data contained therein. To them it is 0s and 1's to you it is say a photo of a lost love one, or this years financial data or a customer database.
LibreOffice community members and certified developers are crafting LibreOffice 7.0, the next major version! It's due in early August – so if you have some technical knowledge, you can help to test the beta releases and make it a rock-solid release: https://qa.blog.documentfoundation.org/2020/06/22/libreoffice-7-0-beta2-is-available-for-testing/
