INFJ. Software engineer at Cosylab, working on space and astronomy projects. Living in Slovenia🇸🇮, Europe🇪🇺. GNU/Linux, free software, open source enthusiast, KDE contributor, pirate party member. Astronomy is my hobby. Lover of scotch whisky, tea and good food. Like to travel a lot and read books (especially about philosophy, psychology, science and economy). Can’t live without music (mostly classical, reggeaton, reggae, dancehall, rap, hiphop). I’m a hopeless romantic with a naughty mind.

https://eci.ec.europa.eu/014/public/#/screen/home
"Our aim is to establish the introduction of unconditional basic incomes throughout the EU which ensure every person’s material existence and opportunity to participate in society as part of its economic policy. This aim shall be reached while remaining within the competences conferred to the EU by the Treaties."

Finished my first week working for #Cosylab where our department is working on #astronomy and #space projects for #ESA (European Space Agency) and #ESO (European Southern #Observatory). We're using my favourite tools like C++, Qt and #Linux. Can't get much closer to perfection, or as the Japanese would say, #ikigai 😀 In particular, I'll be working on the control software for 39-metre #ELT - Extremely Large #Telescope planned to be finished in 2025, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-10fipc27w

"After everything that has been going on with the privacy crisis and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg going to Washington to speak with members of Congress, I felt that this video was timely. I think social media can be good but we must be careful with how we use it."

I don't give a fuck about self-driving cars.
I want free, public, A+ quality transport for everyone and cities that don't project mobility as "having a car"

More and more software is used to control who can and can’t perform certain types of repairs. A new method is the serialisation of spare parts.
"If any of such part needs replacing during a repair, they will not be accepted unless remotely paired to the device again via software by the manufacturer."
Find out more about this during the #RightToRepair webinar on Tuesday 13 July at 3pm CEST: https://repair.eu/news/what-if-software-could-make-your-phone-impossible-to-repair/

This is the most ridiculous C64 demo ever and it was just released. You need to watch this. https://youtu.be/zprSxCMlECA
#Music 🎶 »The #dembow #riddim was created by Jamaican #dancehall producers during the late 1980s and early 1990s. [...] The riddim was first highlighted by Shabba Ranks in "Dem Bow" (https://youtu.be/VQqwea8ZSbk) , from his 1991 album Just Reality. To this day, elements of the song's accompaniment track are found in over 80% of all #reggaeton productions.« — Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reggaeton#Rhythm

As some people have pointed out, Mastodon has a tendency to suggest non-CamelCase versions of hashtags automatically.
WORKAROUND: Instead of pressing Enter to get rid of a hashtag suggestion, press Space instead. This should leave your CamelCase hashtag intact.
This is still a frustrating bug though, and if you want it corrected please give a thumbs up to this issue in the Mastodon Git:
