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.

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."

Quality of technical journalism is 2020 is APPPPPPPAALLLLING. Partly because it’s composed by non-technical folks who hardly know brands and don’t know a thing about code; or those people who do know how to code disguise MARKETING as ‘articles’… they don’t/can’t make sense, it’s NOT their goal

Too much fake 'journalism' out there right now; lots of it in sites like #techradar #zdnet etc. Writers being ;assigned' to do #marketing disguised as 'articles'. #corruptmedia #spam

When participating in social #protest, consider having your mobile devices switched off, in airplane mode or leave them at home to avoid being caught in dragnet-style #surveillance.
Keep them off on the complete journey before and after. If you must use your mobile, be diligent in your efforts to protect your #privacy:
- Encrypt your device
- Have it pin-locked
- Disable #biometric logons
- Disable #Bluetooth
- Disable location services
