What a beautiful piece of propaganda bullshit!

I love the pictures ;-)

Really depending on project.

For pretty Easy privacy we do a lot https://pep.foundation. For my small side projects like pyPEG or YML2 I'm doing nearly nothing https://fdik.org/yml https://fdik.org/pyPEG2

UX is something, which is connected to feelings. It's not enough to have a tool, try to work with designers.

If you're developing Free Software with good purposes, then contact our design team at https://bold.cat/

Tough fight. Politically complex.

Or deep, deep sarcasm.
It is so incredibly stupid that some people actually buy such bullshit, that I'm impressed from the makers of this propaganda. I never could assume total idiocy in my fellow human beings, but I stand corrected.

Chapeau!

None of them can solve the micropayment problem.

GNU Taler can.

Plain wrong. To compare company sizes:

Google est. $500 billion Saudi Aramco est. $10,000 billion (!)

Google is ~5% of Saudi Aramco.

Working on automating software development, I created YSLT as part of the YML project: https://fdik.org/yml/yslt – this is just syntactic sugar to make XSLT usable.

Now I'm creating Intrinsic, a programming language with a modifiable grammar while runtime. Because I found no tool chain, I published pyPEG, which is an compiler interpreter https://fdik.org/pyPEG/ Intrinsic will have a generative paradigm.

If consciousness is an illusion, who is it falling for it?
Good that we're a startup with offices in Luxmenbourg, Switzerland and Spain.

In Europe it is unthinkable not to offer 100% health insurance.

It was a lie, and there will be more lies. Putin, the evil emperor.

Bullshit for the simple minded.

We're hiring developers in Luxembourg and Barcelona (Spain).

mailto:[email protected]

C, C++, Java, Objective C, Swift, Python, C#, JavaScript

Have my own blog software, YBlog: http://blog.fdik.org/yblog2.tar.bz2 Probably it's not feasable for most people, because it is heavily relying on YML2 http://fdik.org/yml and vim http://vim.org

For CMS I really can recommend http://mezzanine.jupo.org/

It also includes a Blog, is in Python/Django and is fulfilling all needs from very small to very large sites.

They never seem to understand:

Your fingerprint like your face can be the username, but never the password.

Your fingerprint is exactly like your username: you cannot change it and you always leave it in public.

Re:Python packaging is good now on Sunday August 14, 2016 @09:23AM (#12285474)
Is it?

On Debian there is Debian Python, and Debian pip. Then there is easy_install to install own pip, and that's different. virtualenv comes on top of all. Of course, there is Debian's Python packages, too.

On MacOS X with Macports, there is Apple's Python and Macports' Pythons, all with different pips. Of course, there is Macports' Python packages, too, for different Pythons.

Re:Facebook and Privacy on Sunday June 26, 2016 @08:03AM (#11980430)
Facebook and Privacy are a contradiction in terms. All what you enter into Facebook is available to Facebook's owners. What you're configuring as “privacy settings” is a wish list for Santa.
Re:Mozilla Wants To Split Off Its Thunderbird Email/Chat Client on Tuesday December 01, 2015 @10:50AM (#10656217)
In short: this is not true.

We are in discussions with Mozilla how to safe Thunderbird and make it sustainable. There is a commitment from Mozilla to make that happen.

Thunderbird will continue being maintained.
