@bodil Thamks. I thought I followed you already but that might have been a bot account or fake account

[Gerbrand van Dieyen @gerbrandvd]

@Adron Yes, registered a few years ago but wasn't active until last week. Quite excited about it, hope it stays.

For Dutch I have also created https://t.co/rbOBtO04Wi as the fosstodon's rules don't allow non-Engish toots

[Gerbrand van Dieyen @gerbrandvd]

I am on Mastodon now, liking it very much. https://t.co/9m0VbWcqCV Already seeing some people I followed here.

@olafurw Switching from mastadon server is pretty easy though. I switched from my old https://t.co/lPL7DBQ55K account to https://t.co/JhFjkN2dDu while keeping followers.

Good list to review when I am buying a next device. Not surprised about apple, but positively surprised about samsung

If you care about customising software on consumer devices, I've been putting together a Trello board for brands that I recommend and avoid: https://t.co/uuBqltcl80

@ShellenbergerMD To be fair, there were also equally infantile protests by farmer in tractors. Climate activists be like if they can be childish we may too.

@duborges @Kantrowitz Kobo/Bol.com doesn't allow you to rent/buy ebooks via the ios app either. You get a suggestion to go the website. Seems to become a common pattern.

@IssaZombie343 @GergelyOrosz @heetermaria Pentium chip had an estimated 30% transistor capacity dedicated to translation of X86 assembly to it's internal microcode.
Motorala chips were simpler as programmers would just use a compiler or emulator.

@GergelyOrosz In the nineties the cool guys programmed in assembly (I was very much basic)

@FrontiersIn @FrontEnvSci "the last Maya rulers of Tikal, Dark Sun, who ruled around 810 CE, is depicted in frescoes as pathologically obese. Obesity is a known effect of metabolic syndrome"

@graninas What about the person who created the language? Maybe if it's some toy language.

[Gerbrand van Dieyen @gerbrandvd]

@GergelyOrosz Truly toxic. Becoming a significant part of ad spending budget for companies while it should not be allowed in the first place.

@rockthejvm A conference I might want to have been in hindsight. Lost track after the pandemic

@kai_nyasha @RonJeffries @skdh https://t.co/qshG59Fd1Y seems just 20% is donated to various charities. And wikimedia gets money from charities too. So it's not so grave as it seem

[John L @jwsal]

This SHOCKING INDICTMENT of Wikipedia amounts to 'they hired more staff and gave a couple of grants to minority led groups to improve diversity in science'. Don't be fooled by this right wing culture war nonsense.

[Gerbrand van Dieyen @gerbrandvd]

@RonJeffries @skdh I am not too sorry either, but would question my next donation.

[Gerbrand van Dieyen @gerbrandvd]

@levelsio Good artist use good tools, and know how to use them. So asking them would be relevant.

@Repelsteeltje21 @hplrosenberg @Oostveenm De onbegrepen provincie zou eens bij zichzelf moeten kijken

@Sc_Meerkat @VaughnVernon If a person can neither teach the language nor convince their colleagues of it's merits the the person shouldn't use introduce it for their new project.
