A new year a renewed #introduction

I am Dude, associated with the movie but there the comparison ends.

An updated #Introduction for 2025:

I’m a dad, #cat whisperer, #computer nerd, occasional #gamer, and #movie lover. I’m a #quality minded #professional and I make my own #homebrew beer. #freebsd. Enthousiast I love #fitness #walking #programming in #python and #3Dprinting. Busy with #homeassistant and more.
Ik spreek voornamelijk Nederlands, Engels een beetje Duits.

So Microsoft introduced Recall some time ago. Seemingly most people have never heard of it. It takes a picture of your screen every 5s, so you are able to search for what you did on your computer. Personally I can not think of many uses for this functionality and none that outweigh the privacy and security implications.

Would you care to enable such functionality on your computer?

“[A]n increasing number of people are so used to algorithmically-generated #feeds that they no longer care to have a self-directed #experience that they are in #control of. [I]t feels like large swaths of people have forgotten to exercise their own #agency. That is what I mean by algorithmic #complacency. More and more people don’t seem to know or #care how to view the #world without a #computer #algorithm guiding what they #see.”

Concerned about Microsoft Windows 11 Recall? You should be.

Recall allows Microsoft’s Windows 11 Copilot+ devices to screenshot every action a person takes on their PC.

What can you do? Switching to Linux is the clear answer, but some don't know what distro to try.

DistroSea.com is a website that lets you run and test 60+ Linux distributions straight from your web browser.

Have fun!

Pythonico - An IDE for Python with Claude AI as Assistant

I am working on Pythonico, an IDE for Python and I think is now becoming a little mature now.

This IDE features multiple Tabs, Syntax Highlight, Find implementation in order to search throught your code, you can save your session and load it later.
Also highly constumizable with plenty of colors either for editor or assistant area per tab.

You can check source code at github.com/machaddr/pythonico

Hey everyone. I must admit, I don't believe I have ever seen someone enter #utf8 #unicode characters on a #computer in a natural way. Which seems weird, because a bunch of languages use them.

I wrote a #commonLisp #asdf package that just looks up a list of symbols in a file that has every non-surrogate unicode codepoint in it, and an #emacs #elisp function that just calls the #lisp one.

Multilingual people, what can you tell me about doing this at all?
