Because I was having trouble with the privacy options, I made a little userscript to make them easier to tell when you're composing a toot!
I'll have to figure out how to distribute this tomorrow, for now, have a gif!

the biggest stumbling block for tech dorks with regard to ethics is they seem to not understand that doing nothing when you have the power to do something is not ethically neutral
(Yes, I'm a sucker for the *Ode an die Freude*.)
cc0.oer-musik.de/Musik <- Bunch of digitized public domain recordings!
(At least in Germany ๐ )
Huh, TIL that recordings that were released before 1963 are in the Public Domain in Germany!
But the music itself is still under copyright if the composer has not been dead for at least 70 years... so many recordings of the giants of classical music are completely free, but the giants of jazz still hold on to their copyrights...
Wonder what that means for using the original recordings, though...
@joereddington I once wrote a MITM "proxy" that replaced all 404s with 418s... and deployed it at a hacker event (with the knowledge and approval of the network team).
Use HTTPS, people!
@linkskywalker (I just finished playing Deus Ex a week ago, does it show?)
@linkskywalker Only semi-related, but I always have to laugh at this kind of exposition in movies: "You've been the lead engineer of the internal data security team for our international secret banking consortium - funded by the Knights Templar in Paris in 1278, don't forget! - for seven years now! Do I really have to explain this to you?"
And then they DO explain it to them ๐

Help! We need art!
We are planning something, and we would need someone to do some simple illustrations involving humans. By "simple", I mean outlining the body, eyes and mouth. No clothes, no hair, and as gender neutral as possible.
If you are able to do that, please send a couple of samples in DM. Otherwise, boosting this toot or mentioning your artsy friends helps a lot.
@hardcorenarrativist Nope!
But I already found a better alternative anyway! \o/
Reading List for a 10yr Old Programmer?
@emsenn For non-fiction, I REALLY like "Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software" by Charles Petzold.
I lent my copy to somebody (forget who...) and never saw it again ๐ฆ
It starts off with "what is electricity" and ends with 8080 assembler (iirc). I read it when I was studying CS at uni and still learned a lot of cool things!
Reading List for a 10yr Old Programmer?
@emsenn Fiction or non-fiction?
I want to install a program, but it's not available in any official repos or a trusted source, and I'm a bit worried about installing any random stuff from github and I definitly can't audit 20k lines of C++ code...
Guess I'll have to write my own! ๐คท
Anybody in #Europe want to buy my #GPDWin?
Like new, I barely ever used it.
It's a 5" handheld that runs Windows 10, the full x86 version!
Has a built-in keyboard and Xbox 360 style controller, in the form factor of a 3DS XL.
It's actually really cool if you're into PC #videogames on the go.
Which, it turns out, I'm not! ๐ฆ
xrandr to the rescue!
xrandr --output DVI-0 --brightness 0.8
I've turned my screen brightness all the way down and it's still too fucking bright ๐
food, pol (-)
And while we're at it: How come that bananas, which don't grow locally AT ALL, are the cheapest fruit at the supermarket?
How little are the people doing the actual care and harvest paid, that even transporting them thousands of kilometers doesn't make them more expensive than locally grown fruit?
food, technology (+)
I love how modern technology and millennia-old breeding techniques combine to allow me to buy *locally harvested* apples at the farmer's market year round.
These aren't imported from the opposite side of the world, they were transported less than 100 kilometers!
And I can buy them every week, for the whole year!
Sure, not always the cultivars, but I can always find one that I like!
Now... to breed cherries and strawberries like that...!
