I highly recommend Obtainium. It is a great way of installing and updating applications onto your Android phone. Instead of being a central store, you add the source for each project (from Github, Gitlab, Codeberg, etc) for the applications you use. It is the only "store" I added on my GrapheneOS phone. It allows absolute granular control of what I choose to install from the source; true digital intentional-ism.

Main: obtainium.imranr.dev/
Source: github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium

Also, here is a list of "complex applications" to make it easier to add them to Obtainium: apps.obtainium.imranr.dev/

Hey, #FediHire me! 🥳
I'm looking for a decent #job, preferably remote.
Any help is appreciated.

I bring a ton of skills and more than a decade of experience as a #software #engineer, have been working mostly on #web #applications and some #mobile over the years, and done lots of #systems programming and #firmware in my spare time projects. 🧑‍💻⚙️

My main languages are Rust and JavaScript/TypeScript.
I'm based in Germany.

More details and CV are at dan.orangecms.org/.

Please #boost, thanks!

dan.orangecms.orgHi, I'm Dan!

“The nature of scientific progress is that it sometimes provides powerful tools that can be wielded for good or for ill: splitting the atom and nuclear weapons being a case in point. In such cases, it’s necessary that researchers involved in developing such #technologies participate actively in the ethical and political discussions about the appropriate boundaries for their use. Computer vision is one area in which more voices need to be heard.”

“This study backs up with clear evidence what many have long suspected: that computer-vision research is being used mainly in surveillance-enabling #applications.”

After I #graduate from my #astrophysics #masters #program next #year, I'm going to take a #GapYear to #improve my #resume for #applications to #PhD programs. Probably I would be doing an #internship, and given the #Trump #cuts here in the #USA, there aren't many #opportunities available.

I've heard that #France is picking up some of the slack. I'm #wondering if I should go, what I should do to #prepare, and where else there would be opportunities for me. Does anyone have #advice?

What #calendar app are you using, that's not Google or Apple based (or a front-end, thereof)? I'm looking for something cross-platform, that can be used on Linux (even if it's a web app), Android and iPad!

I was using #Morgen but they've decided to pull the rug from under me and remove their free tier... their pay monthly price is rather extortionate too!

@chtitedev Je repense à la question de Nicolas qui nous demande "est-ce qu'une informatique #masculine amène les #applications qui existent à être #sexistes?" Mon problème c'est tout ce qui n'EXISTE PAS. J'aurais dû répondre que plus que d'insérer des biais, cela fait manquer à notre société les programmes VRAIMENT innovants. J'ai l'impression qu'aujourd'hui l'innovation tech se limite à voiture volante + machines qui bullshit... et le manque de femmes dans la tech y est pour quelque chose.

“a New York-based #AppDeveloper named #IsaacGemal debuted a new site called WikiTok, where users can vertically swipe through an endless stream of Wikipedia article stubs in a manner similar to the interface for video-sharing app TikTok.”

So, my previous Mastodon host has pulled the plug, necessitating the migration to a new provider.

So with nothing further to do, here's my re #Introduction...

I'm into #SoftwareDevelopment, #WebDevelopment, #InfoSec, #VanLife, #CanalBoats (#Widebeam) and #GeoPolitics.

I develop #Windows #desktop and #web based #applications, #games and #websites using various combinations of the .NET (#DotNET) Framework, C# (#CSharp), #WPF, vanilla #JavaScript, #HTML, #CSS, #SQLServer, blah, blah, blah
