Spent some time getting my air sensors tied together into a dashboard. :-D

Yet another study strongly calling into question the concept of “echo chambers”. I’ve argued it here before and people pushed back, but there is growing evidence that “echo chambers” are a moral panic and not a real phenomenon that we need to worry about. It’s time to throw it out and re-think, in my opinion.

With all M$’s apps being basically fancy web apps, there is no need to actually install any of their legacy applications locally anymore. Since I am online basically 100% of the time this turns my Office experience in a Chromebook like one. No installs, never outdated software. Just a yearly subscription contribution to worry about.

yaxim: Planned downtime + Happy 10th anniversary, yax.im!
Our Android XMPP client yaxim was created in 2009. A decade later,
we celebrated its round birthday.
To make the user
experience more straightforward, we launched the
yax.im public XMPP service
in November 2013, to become the default server in yaxim. Now, ten years later,
it’s time to recap and to upgrade the hosting infrastructure.

It is that time of year where I try to be extra nice in customer service Quality and feedback surveys. I once worked on the other side of these, so it might brighten someone’s day.
