DX.

Why did it take me so long to think of DX instead of trying to say "you know, UX but for library APIs"

Now I can just say: Hey FontConfig, you have terrible DX!

(I have long pushed on the idea that design is a required skill for programming *code*, not just GUIs or even CLIs, but the code itself should be designed too)

#UX#DX#foss

I’m looking for anyone in my circles who:

• is a front-end web developer
• has some design sense
• understands the allure of buying a Linux computer
• is open to paid work

A Linux computer company reached out asking if I was available for paid work on their website and while I would love to, I’m just not able to find the time right now. But they’re a great company and I would love to connect them with someone!

𝐒𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐫 𝐩å 𝐁𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐇𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 – 𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐛𝐚𝐭 𝐨𝐦 𝐝𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐮𝐯𝐞𝐫æ𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐭

Fra 16. juli til 23. juli blev BornHack festivalen afholdt for tiende år i træk med fokus på teknologi og sikkerhed. BornHack er åben for alle, varer syv dage og er bygget op som en teltlejr ude i en skov på Fyn.

Formålet er, at deltagerne netværker, lærer om nye teknologier, debatterer om digital sikkerhed og får ny brugbar viden med hjem. Logistikken er på plads - der er styr på strømforsyning og netforbindelse kombineret med en helt særlig wibe med stor tolerance og plads til diversitet. Ud af de ca. 500 deltagere er omkring halvdelen fra Danmark og resten fra andre europæiske lande. Tobias @fonsmark fra Semaphor har været med fra begyndelsen i 2016 sammen med de oprindelige initiativtagere til BornHack.

“Indholdet på BornHack med den kritiske tilgang til digital sikkerhed er mere aktuelt end nogensinde og matcher Semaphors udgangspunkt. Af samme grund er Semaphor dobbeltsponsor for BornHack – dels med Jitsi hosting, men også som kontantsponsor. Semaphor er endvidere involveret i planlægningsarbejdet omkring BornHacks workshops og paneldebatter. I år er der eksempelvis en spændende paneldebat om aktuelle sikkerhedsmæssige emner”, fortæller Tobias Fonsmark.

I paneldebatten, som Tobias Fonsmark er medarrangør af, deltog Camilla Gregersen fra Data Etisk Råd, Karen Melchior, tidligere medlem af Europaparlamentet, Poul-Henning Kamp, FreeBSD udvikler samt Henrik Kramselund, Internet networker og sikkerhedskonsulent. Journalist Anders Kjærulff fungerede som moderator for debatten, der omhandlede:

𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐯å𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐦 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐤𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥 i al krypteret kommunikation, hvor man fra EUs side ønsker at scanne alle beskeder for CSAM før kryptering - direkte på folks egne telefoner. Forslaget har vakt stor opsigt og bekymring i privacy-kredse og er blevet udsat flere gange.

I følge digitaliseringsministeren skal det ske med en app, som er klar i 2026. Denne app skal også være borgernes digitale wallet, som potentielt kan indeholde alt fra pas, bankoplysninger og sundhedsdata. Appen forventes at virke på Apple og Android devices sammen med Windows og OSX.
