good morning
morning ☀️
Morning!
I'm going to try to write a paper for an upcoming conference, so I'm knee deep in relevant literature I need to internalise. My oversized e-ink tablet is being put to good use for once.
which model tablet are you using?
Onyx Boox Max. It's approximately A4/Letter sized and bought for this purpose (reading research papers).
nice!
Hyves is coming back, it used to be a Dutch social media platform with 11 million people (🇳🇱 has 18M) but it died in 2013 due to competition from Facebook. Now they are re-invigorating it and advertising it as a platform without infinite scroll, no addicting algorithms and hosted on EU cloud for data protection
Fediverse-based?
no, it was always a proprietary social network
like something my mother and her friends would be on as opposed to the fediverse
I completely missed Hyves back then. And wasn't it really popular in Peru as well for some reason?
Hyves was toch ooit door de Telegraaf overgenomen?
zou kunnen ja, een of andere media-groep
I remember an item in Man Bijt Hond where some older women had been "por"-ing each other on Hyves for years, but they never really met, so when it closed down, the TV program arranged a meetup
They ran it on Gentoo servers back in the days. Them madman's
good morning
Morning
Didn't it work last time?
I'm mostly proud of myself that I took it while I'm afraid of needles and tend to faint laughcry. My wife is in a group of people who need the extra protection.
if you lie down you can't faint. I have the same problem and I need to go for blood tests several times a year
yep, I got a VIP treatment and could walk past a long lane of normal old people ;P
Well, there is only one @borkdude 😉
I should have handed the doc a babashka sticker I guess? :P
spread the word!
spreading the clojure virus
let's hope there is no vaccine for that.
on the other hand, carefully rationed exposure to clojure-likes might make devs less intolerant of the lisp syntax
Thought of the day moment: Data works best when it is open. Just like the mind and a parachute. And it has to be immutable in order to achieve this. (But you all already knew that of course 😉 )
