Since I posted it on LinkedIn, a good time to post here as well:
I am currently looking for full-time roles (I will be graduating in December) in cutting-edge data management work. I have experience with storage and SSDs, kernel development, C, Rust, NVMe, data management, data analysis, and many other things; please reach out; happy to discuss in detail. My LinkedIn profile or website (sincerely.dev) has more details about my work.
It's #HubbleFriday time!
This week's new image shows the globular cluster NGC 6652. Globular clusters are roughly spherical groups of stars held together by their mutual gravitational attraction.
NGC 6652 is about 30 million light-years away: go.nasa.gov/3Oi5MLD

Is a glorious globular cluster! @NASAHubble spied NGC 6652 in our own Milky Way galaxy in the constellation Sagittarius, just under 30,000 light-years from Earth. Globular clusters contain tens of thousands to millions of stars. go.nasa.gov/3YkIBou

I've always thought the GOP had no policy positions other than seizing power, enriching themselves, and destroying effective government.
I was wrong. They're developing a policy focused around destroying the planet.

I just ran on #mastodon into the fact that #webP has issues to be uploaded.
There was a general problem giving 500 errors that apparently was fixed recently, even tho not all servers have updated this problem.
github.com/mastodon/mastodon/i…
Actually I wanted to upload animated webP and that still doesn't work. The software extracts the first pic and serves it as webP.
So I tried to publish via #friendica into the fediverse the animated webP but at least the squeet.me friendica version (2023.09-dev) extracts the first pic and serves it as jpg image. 2021.01 and 2019.12 doesn't accept webP at all.
I guess this is known?
Any changes on this to expect?
I'm kinda astonished as I created the webP with GIMP and can display it in firefox, all free source software and animated webP is definitely higher quality than gif and way smaler size.
@…ᘛ⁐̤ᕐᐷ jesuisatire bitPickup I assume it depends on the underlying installed gd or ImageMagick extension version.
We also create resized versions of all uploaded images to add as a preview in posts, but the original should still be shown when clicking on the preview.
WebP support isn’t put of reach as we are able to display Mastodon-generated WebP clips from remote accounts.

#Tecnoafecciones Para mitigar los efectos adversos de los residuos tecnológicos hay que cambiar el paradigma de desarrollo dominante.
¿Qué podemos hacer?
✅ Co-responsabilizarnos de nuestro consumo tecnológico y apostar a reducirlo. Por ejemplo, podemos empezar por no consumir lo que no necesitemos.
✅ Promover la transparencia en el ciclo de vida de las tecnologías: conocer dónde se producen, dónde se consumen y dónde se desechan.
✅ Promover el desarrollo tecnológico participativo y abierto.
✅ Promover una cultura de la reparación y el diseño de productos duraderos y reparables, además de modulares que permita a las personas usuarias sustituir fácilmente los componentes defectuosos.
✅ Exigir a empresas y gobiernos la adopción de principios de sostenibilidad, justicia ambiental e igualdad social en el desarrollo tecnológico.

my favorite is GemCraft - Chasing Shadows. It has a bit more serious theme with wizards and magic gems.
