Codeberg is really nice.

Dutch founder. Open source."... npub1r7384kwjpac08h892fghkhvs78eqh8mtxyahd5cuuttlcwhxvzls8hk07a Gina Kids, never paint a house that isn't yours. npub1r7384kwjpac08h892fghkhvs78eqh8mtxyahd5cuuttlcwhxvzls8hk07a Gina "Okay, but why not just rent somewhere else in the Netherlands?" npub1r7384kwjpac08h892fghkhvs78eqh8mtxyahd5cuuttlcwhxvzls8hk07a Gina "But Gina what's wrong with your house in Amsterdam?" npub1r7384kwjpac08h892fghkhvs78eqh8mtxyahd5cuuttlcwhxvzls8hk07a Gina This is me manifesting moving out of Amsterdam btw. I don't know where to yet, as long as there is more nature, sun and a house with a garden. npub1r7384kwjpac08h892fghkhvs78eqh8mtxyahd5cuuttlcwhxvzls8hk07a Gina The way that I'm going to make NL's codeplatform entirely pink, to compensate for having to de-pink my house 🥲🌸 npub1r7384kwjpac08h892fghkhvs78eqh8mtxyahd5cuuttlcwhxvzls8hk07a Gina Today we launched https://code.overheid.nl: the NL government-wide code platform 🥳🥳 npub1r7384kwjpac08h892fghkhvs78eqh8mtxyahd5cuuttlcwhxvzls8hk07a Gina Vandaag hebben we https://code.overheid.nl gelanceerd: hét overheidsbrede codeplatform 🥳🥳 npub1r7384kwjpac08h892fghkhvs78eqh8mtxyahd5cuuttlcwhxvzls8hk07a Gina @nprofile…84ng yeah those 3 days of the year are pretty nice. npub1r7384kwjpac08h892fghkhvs78eqh8mtxyahd5cuuttlcwhxvzls8hk07a Gina UGH FINE. It's kinda cute how my train is driving through field after field of blooming tulips. But other than that, #TheNetherlands still sucks. ⚘️ npub1r7384kwjpac08h892fghkhvs78eqh8mtxyahd5cuuttlcwhxvzls8hk07a Gina @nprofile…x5xn @nprofile…ctza our mom says we can no longer be friends with mastodon.cloud because they let weird people into their house. npub1r7384kwjpac08h892fghkhvs78eqh8mtxyahd5cuuttlcwhxvzls8hk07a Gina I'm still conflicted on the #EUverification app. Aside from the technical issues and Google dependency, I'm not a fan of the surveillance creep this introduces. But also, being childfree, I'm not exactly an expert on what kids need to be protected from. npub1r7384kwjpac08h892fghkhvs78eqh8mtxyahd5cuuttlcwhxvzls8hk07a Gina Goodmorning ☕️ npub1r7384kwjpac08h892fghkhvs78eqh8mtxyahd5cuuttlcwhxvzls8hk07a Gina What is interesting about the whole EU age verification app is that it sort of moves towards the original concept of Solid pods; aka you storing your own little data vaults instead of the services that use your data. npub1r7384kwjpac08h892fghkhvs78eqh8mtxyahd5cuuttlcwhxvzls8hk07a Gina @nprofile…jk9l how does it taste??

Man I hate writing blogs. npub1r7384kwjpac08h892fghkhvs78eqh8mtxyahd5cuuttlcwhxvzls8hk07a Gina I had such an interesting call today with someone from @nprofile…canu about funding the #opensource ecosystem. npub1r7384kwjpac08h892fghkhvs78eqh8mtxyahd5cuuttlcwhxvzls8hk07a Gina @nprofile…8ny0 Ooh I didn't know this was an option. npub1r7384kwjpac08h892fghkhvs78eqh8mtxyahd5cuuttlcwhxvzls8hk07a Gina @nprofile…gktf Even though they need to sort out their Proton Meet service (apparently it's sending data to LiveKit, a US company) I still think it's a great service. npub1r7384kwjpac08h892fghkhvs78eqh8mtxyahd5cuuttlcwhxvzls8hk07a Gina Also cursed. npub1r7384kwjpac08h892fghkhvs78eqh8mtxyahd5cuuttlcwhxvzls8hk07a Gina @nprofile…z9c6 YAAAS that's AWESOME NEWS Jeffrey!!! 🥳🥳🥳 So happy hear it, cheers to your good health!! 🥂 npub1r7384kwjpac08h892fghkhvs78eqh8mtxyahd5cuuttlcwhxvzls8hk07a Gina @nprofile…le39 we should choose more open source EU-based solutions, because US big tech companies support bad regimes (like the Trump regime, Israel etc). npub1r7384kwjpac08h892fghkhvs78eqh8mtxyahd5cuuttlcwhxvzls8hk07a Gina It's SO REFRESHING to hear Marietje Schaake (former EU MP 🇪🇺) make the case for #digitalsovereignty and #opensource EU-based alternatives NOT JUST to protect European interests and European data, but also to protect human rights in the US and abroad. npub1r7384kwjpac08h892fghkhvs78eqh8mtxyahd5cuuttlcwhxvzls8hk07a Gina Yall I'm on a never ending flight, please tell me something interesting. 🥲 npub1r7384kwjpac08h892fghkhvs78eqh8mtxyahd5cuuttlcwhxvzls8hk07a Gina Hmmm mafin npub1r7384kwjpac08h892fghkhvs78eqh8mtxyahd5cuuttlcwhxvzls8hk07a Gina Bye #Greece, I'll miss you 🥲🇬🇷 npub1r7384kwjpac08h892fghkhvs78eqh8mtxyahd5cuuttlcwhxvzls8hk07a Gina This tour guide bamboozled me today. #CatsOfMastodon #CaturdayEveryday #Greece npub1r7384kwjpac08h892fghkhvs78eqh8mtxyahd5cuuttlcwhxvzls8hk07a Gina @nprofile…6jer pics of the cat plz! npub1r7384kwjpac08h892fghkhvs78eqh8mtxyahd5cuuttlcwhxvzls8hk07a Gina @nprofile…98tx @nprofile…wn4u just curious, was this an app from F-Droid?

So average. Not even jet ski. Meh. 🇬🇷 #Greece #Skiathos npub1r7384kwjpac08h892fghkhvs78eqh8mtxyahd5cuuttlcwhxvzls8hk07a Gina @nprofile…tj86 meh it's just 1 person who consistently brought bad vibes, and 2 bots. Overall Mastodon is a super friendly place. npub1r7384kwjpac08h892fghkhvs78eqh8mtxyahd5cuuttlcwhxvzls8hk07a Gina I don't often block people, but when I do, they immediately prove why I blocked them. npub1r7384kwjpac08h892fghkhvs78eqh8mtxyahd5cuuttlcwhxvzls8hk07a Gina @nprofile…fea2 I'd recommend #Jitsi for individual users. npub1r7384kwjpac08h892fghkhvs78eqh8mtxyahd5cuuttlcwhxvzls8hk07a Gina Well, this is unfortunate. npub1r7384kwjpac08h892fghkhvs78eqh8mtxyahd5cuuttlcwhxvzls8hk07a Gina Kalimera Athens! 🇬🇷🌞 npub1r7384kwjpac08h892fghkhvs78eqh8mtxyahd5cuuttlcwhxvzls8hk07a Gina It looks like you're writing in all caps.
