I'm going to #boost this a bit, to at least broaden its reach. Likes/favorites don't play into an algorithm here (thank goodness) and don't help visibility, and not all servers are federated (and some federated feeds are firehoses anyway).
@bookstodon, if you're tired of having to throw out still perfectly working #tech that suffers #PlannedObsolescence only because the closed-system software bricks them, check out this #petition.
I can't sign this as I am not a constituent of the EU, but I hope this comes to pass and the EU forces some responsibility into the #tech corporations. Goodness knows the US isn't going to lead the way.

“A protest planned by hundreds of bank depositors in central China seeking access to their frozen funds has been thwarted because the authorities have turned their health code apps red, several depositors told Reuters.”
🤔 ICYMI from April, a good (long-form!) essay about how #addiction to #tech (in general, but also #smartphones and #socialMedia in particular) is affecting human #attention spans in a negative way.
💡 Raises an interesting idea about it causing or reinforcing cultural "learned helplessness" that crosses over into many other areas of modern tech-facilitated life. (Something @lightweight has long discussed.)

I recently realized that absorbing the constant inflow of information from my smartphone, always readily available in my pocket to capture any free moment of attention, had fragmented my attention span.

I'd like to find a community of other people in #tech, maybe people who are interested in talking about things like #cloud alternatives, #cryptography, or #softwaredev processes (like #agile, I guess), #programming. I haven't found too much of that on here. Point me at the good discussions and knowledge sharing, if you know where it is!
Look, software isn't everything, and I'm sure I'll get into some other stuff on here, but the above is what I haven't found yet. #introductions #introduction
I'm a software developer in the AEC industry, typically working to automate engineering workflows in CAD software (revit etc.). I studied Mathematics, so naturally I love functional programming (and luckily get to use F# for most of my work!).
In my free time I enjoy walking, photography, custom keyboards, and any other hobbies my ADHD brain latches onto.
I've spent about 15 years in the world of #infosec (thank you, day job!) and I do a lot of writing and podcasting in this field. I'm not an expert but I am a nerd for #tech and #privacy.
Links are all in my profile if you want to learn more. I'm not gonna spam you.
This is not my first time on Mastodon but I'm trying to consolidate a bunch of my older profiles right here.
