Well gosh, I'm glad we required masks 😂 If we use this venue again (and we definitely will when we return to Berlin), I've got some ideas about how to manage airflow differently.

#introduction heya!! I recently joined this side of the internet, as I got invited by a good friend of mine, mostly to move away from other platforms.

I'm Naomi Belle, but I prefer Belle (I think it sounds cute!) I'm 23y old transfem living in the Netherlands. Currently I'm 4.5 years on hormones. I'm excited to meet you all.

A fair warning as this is my first time joining such spaces. Please let me know of any specific thing that doesn't sit well or if I do something against the rules! I love to learn and I'm more than happy to receive feedback 💜



It is always fun to meet @pabloyoyoista and @FineFindus. And this time, we had the pleasure of meeting with one of the GTK maintainers, Benjamin Otte, as well.
Amongst other, interesting discussions about GTK's new renderers and phones, performance, regressions, collaboration, and testing. And the general “wouldn't it be nice if”s … language support, upstreaming things … and maybe, someday, some of them … 🤞
And if you happen to be in the Hamburg area and want to join, shoot us a message.



As it turns out, women leaders are not likely to act based on their emotion, but men are. Study (N=137) finds women leaders had low levels of abusive supervision regardless of their anxiety. Men leaders engaged in more abusive supervision (being rude, ridiculing, yelling at, or lying to their reports) when their anxiety was higher. hbr.org/2024/09/research-how-a…

Folks, never _ever_ forget that mandating employees be in the office 5 days a week is an employer's favourite way to implement a stealth organisation-wide layoff.

I keep telling all my friends in the US. You don't ask you don't get.

“Elon Musk lived in apartheid South Africa until he was 17. David Sacks…left aged five, and grew up in a South African diaspora family in Tennessee. Peter Thiel spent years of childhood in South Africa and Namibia, where his father was involved in uranium mining[…]. And Paul Furber, an obscure South African software developer and tech journalist living near Johannesburg, has been identified by two teams of forensic linguists as the originator of the QAnon conspiracy.”

Gnihihi. Die Mobilapp von MS Teams ist mal wieder borken.

Microsoft ist zunehmend ein komplettes Dumpsterfire. Ja, ich weiß, ich bin genauso schockiert wie ihr...

"zunehmend"? Also ich hab das jetzt ja lange nicht benutzt, aber äh, war das nicht schon immer so?
in reply to Bubu

@Bubu for whatever value of dumpsterfire. Aber mittlerweile sind z.B. bei mir im Unternehmen selbst die Microsoft Fanboys ziemlich angepisst. Aber die Businessprozesse sind halt so tief in diese Müllhalde integriert, dass man sie auch nicht mit endlichem Aufwand wegmigrieren kann. Klassischer Vendor-Lockin

Find a sequence of 1000 positive integers in arithmetic progression whose digit sums in base 10 are equal.


Re-reading an Iain M. Banks book while travelling and, as always recently, distracted a little while reading it when coming across Ships' names by the knowledge that Elon is a fan and re-uses them at SpaceX. Like finding a little grain of sand in your food.

I was happy then, in this reading, to be reminded of a Ship's name that entirely encompasses his whole deal.

V pondelok je team-building, opekačka... nechce sa mi ale ok. Ok!?





Yet another one study showing the stereotype threat does not exist. At this point the effect should be considered invalid and should not be used as an argument in any discussion (be it online or official).

in reply to David Goldfield

I downloaded it this morning. My only problem with Bard Express updates is that I have to change all my settings, every time! But otherwise, it's a good update.






DINUM’s Julie Ripa is giving a talk about everything Tchap, the French sovereign messenger based on @matrix and look at how PACKED the room is!

The future is now, and @matthew is giving us a glimpse at what to expect in the VERY short run.

Exciting to see MONTHS if not years of work fitting together
