Old 32 colors pixelart picture,
320x180 px - Amiga palette, done in rush, so not perfect

I was trying to create impression of colorful composition within limitations of the computer:
- 32 colors from 4096 pool
- to compare: normal 8bit pixelart usually use up to 256 colors from 16,777,216 colors palette

why does almost every Linux/programming youtuber smells of far-right from 100 miles? They all act and look like they place to be is 4chan

I want to advise a specific mobile app to #leftist #activists and corresponding activist media.

I'm looking for a reliable and free (preferable open source) app that can automatically (or user-friendly manually) remove all details of persons (especially protesters, but if automatically other people are good too) in *video's*.

The use case is that someone films on a demo and something bad happens with the police or Nazi's, but they still want to share it on the internet, without revealing identities of the protesters. Not especially for the police, cause they film everyone anyway, but for Nazi's and other dangerous folks. To avoid doxxing.

I know about ObscuraCam from the Guardian Project, but that one only works unreliable with faces in pictures and video's can only be pixelated and/or colorized completely, so that's useless.

Thinking about it during writing this post I think there are no open-source apps offering this probably, only proprietary. So if that's the case, so be it. Please advise!

i have attempted mspaint art again :3

can anyone recommend me an endo who's
- near frankfurt (or like, as close as possible and closer than berlin, lol)
- does hrt on transfems, including non-binary ones like me (i'm very fem-presenting tho which kinda helps and i might be able to pretend i'm binary)
- respects their patients' wishes in terms of dosage and administration method

i already have an indication letter since >=6 months and i'm already on prescribed hrt since >=5 months, but my endo is in berlin, hard to contact and very far away, and he is technically not an endo but an Allgemeinarzt and i'm never rlly sure if he actually knows what he is doing, so i would like to switch to someone competent (yet not less trans-friendly) who's closer to where i live

#trans i guess

also boosts appreciated

So there's a new law allowing people to be banned from specific swedish libraries. It seems rather targeted at homeless people.

There's been a rather unofficial culture of libraries being safe havens.
This seems like an attack on that.
They talk about keeping in mind what the purpose of a library is, and they seem to describe that purpose as just reading books.

Stealing this from twitter from someone who stole it from someone who stole it, but this time I've added the alt text

I did some research for a talk I’ll hold later this month so I took a look at a very long list of open source cookie consent libraries.

On this huge list, there where 3 entries that had a demo available and where compliant to EU law while not using any dark patterns.

I didn’t count the ones that where not compliant but it was a multitude.

One would think that most people working on open source stuff care about privacy and ethical design but that doesn’t seem to be the case

Hello toot friends, I bring #antiLawn memes.
I'm hoping to radicalise you all against the boring monoculture lawn and turn you into biodiversity defenders.

Waiting for my train and just appreciating the infrastructure.
Only two car lanes. Two bike lanes, partially raised. Tram and bus stations next to the train station. Bike parking. Safety island for crossing. Departing trams have straighter path than arriving ones because they speed up. Covered bus stops with the realtime schedule.

#Security: we make sure we won’t pass your data to anyone who hasn’t paid us for it

#Privacy: we won’t manipulate you or interfere with your life

#DataProtection: fairness, lawfulness, transparency, minimisation, adequacy, storage limitation, security, accountability

Security without privacy and data protection; is just another vehicle for imposing tyranny

So I'm looking for a job again...
As a software engineer with 15 years of experience, some of it as a sole architect, some of it leading a team, working mostly on medium-scale systems with complex backends (having worked in e-commerce, utilities, banking/payments, etc). Plus a formal education in theoretical mathematics.
Primary experience is with C#/.NET and also TS/Node.js (can also do React).
But also want to try Rust or FP languages (such as elixir), and open to any stack basically (I can learn fast!) and any industry (besides cryptocurrencies or law enforcement or shit like that of course).
Been both commended and criticized for meticulous code review, setting a high bar of code quality, focusing on other developers experience, and not letting at least some of the bugs and vulnerabilities creep by.
Some of my code and projects are at https://oomza.cutegay.software/inga-lovinde ; another example is https://oomza.cutegay.software/blahaj-in-the-middle/architecture/src/branch/main/docs

I only speak English (but trying to learn German and Spanish).
And the employer needs to be in EU (preferably in Berlin, or it will have to be up to 100% remote depending on the distance to Berlin); I have an unrestricted work permit in Germany.
Hoping for an inclusive and diverse place (I would add a pleading emoji here but it will probably be misinterpreted by a target audience ).

using nix-shell is sooo nice for projects (it even works on non-NixOS, you just need Nix installed)

a good definition of "here are all the tools/dependencies you need to run/test this project"

here's the shell.nix for #pixie pages, even providing a custom not-yet-packaged build of Pebble, the ACME test server
