🔗 My Unusually Normal Life in Taiwan Amid the Global Pandemic
As videos circulated of rebellious Americans refusing the most basic of precautions under the pretense of freedom, Taiwan shook its collective head and nodded at what real freedom looked like: the ability to have a drink at a bar without fear of catching a deadly airborne illness.
I get this same feeling, even from Japan. I wish the government hadn't let the Olympics dictate their lack of action – we could have been the same as Taiwan and New Zealand. -
🔗 How and why I stopped buying new laptops
Being an independent journalist – or an office worker if you wish – I always reasoned that I needed a decent computer and that I need to pay for quality.
This is article about How and why I stopped buying new laptops from Low Tech Magazine about reducing your environmental impact by avoiding the upgrade cycle and using your old (or used) laptop inspires me to continue using mid-2014 Macbook Pro as long as possible.The author favors older Thinkpads because of their repairability. Repairability gave me a pause when I originally purchased my laptop. Thankfully it hasn’t been a problem yet, but I fear it may take my machine before it’s time. -
🔗 Code With Me - Plugins | JetBrains
Code With Me is a new service created by JetBrains for collaborative development and pair programming.
I've been doing a lot of remote pair programming at work lately. This Code with Me plugin for PyCharm looks like it could make it a lot easier. Can't wait to try it out. -
🔗 STEALING UR FEELINGS
Meet the new AI that knows you better than you know yourself
Stealing ur feelings is a brilliant interactive video that shows the danger of facial recognition and how it's already being abused by advertisers. All the more reason to keep wearing a mask, even post-covid. -
🔗 Codeberg.org
Codeberg is founded as a Non-Profit Organization, with the objective to give the Open-Source code that is running our world a safe and friendly home, and to ensure that free code remains free and secure forever.
I haven't used Codeberg (a GitHub alternative), but their copy on front page strikes me.No tracking. Your data is not for sale. All services run on servers under our control. No dependencies on external services. No third party cookies, no tracking. Hosted in the EU, we welcome the world.
Using external services for every last thing, you end up with your data being spread out amongst multiple (unknown to you) vendors, each with different security-implications / privacy policies / regulations all across the world. It makes your service more brittle (increased points of failure) and less secure (increased attack vectors). Seeing a service make this central to their product is refreshing.Focusing on privacy and hosting in non-US owned/operated datacenters in the EU will be a competitive advantage when going up against the US tech companies in the future, if it isn't already.
