@brunus Haha, so you know about Wand! That's a project I started 10 years ago; I didn't think anyone knew about it. Thank you.

By the way, whenever I'm in the West, my confidence in my English speaking really takes a hit. I have a hard time understanding people if they speak even a little bit fast, and I feel like communication is a struggle because my own accent is so strong. 😩

#PieFed v1.6 (coming soon) will make it possible to quote boost PieFed posts in Mastodon!

Just walked into a cafe in Brussels and saw this sign. It instantly made me feel safe and welcomed.

A few #fosdem advices for newcomers: wear a mask (it's very crowded, it's cold, you're in the middle of winter, people will be sick and there will be a flu cluster).
Wear warm clothes and preferably layered clothes: entering and leaving buildings all day long, you'll enjoy being able to open a zipper in the overly heated buildings and going out in the cold. Bring a rain coat / an umbrella as it tends to rain quite often.
Arrive in advance, otherwise you might miss your most-wanted talk because the room was full.

I was so tired I slept for over 20 hours. 😂

My companion almost got pickpocketed twice in front of Brussels Central Station.

​​ Le dev de Hollo sera au FOSDEM
Depuis Seoul (Corée du sud) whooaa ça en fait du chemin.

Just arrived at Brussels International Airport! It was long trip…

@django Great! I'm looking forward to your talk!

@zundan Yeah, maybe? This Coca-Cola had a bit more of a tangy taste.

@django Thanks! Are you attending this FOSDEM?

The Coca-Cola I bought at Abu Dhabi Airport tastes... slightly different from the ones I used to drink in Korea.

Just arrived in Abu Dhabi. First time in the Middle East.

@root Hollo는 어떠세요?

Listen, if you're enjoying your time on Mastodon (or the fediverse at-large), it's time to talk to your friends who are still on Instagram, Threads, and Facebook (and ESPECIALLY Twitter/whatever-it's-called-now). The billionaire owners of these websites are not only NOT their friends, they are actively selling THEIR information.

Facebook knows all about them (and probably most of us, too) and will monetize that. They're also not going to let them see what THEY don't want THEM to see...

That shit doesn't happen here. It'll never happen here because the fediverse isn't algorithm-driven (and algorithm-manipulated). It's people-powered. You gotta be slinging good shit to show up in people's feed because either 1) people are reboosting you, or 2) they are following you.

Prediction:

Pinterest, as people have known it, will be dead within five years. I honestly don't think the leadership there has any idea what their userbase actually wants. The End of UX continues…

(I wonder if it's time for a #Fediverse version of Pinterest. Scratch that, it is definitely time!)

Cloudflare just published a vibe coded blog post claiming they implemented Matrix on cloudflare workers. They didn't, their post and README is AI generated and the code doesn't do any of the core parts of matrix that make it secure and interoperable. Instead it's littered with 'TODO: Check authorisation' and similar

@cryptix Thanks for the advice for a first-time traveller to Europe!

@catilac Are you attending FOSDEM too? We could hang out there then!

I just looked up what kind of plugs they use in Belgium and Germany. Luckily, it looks like they use Type F “Schuko” plugs, the same kind we use in South Korea!

I updated my "How to survive FOSDEM" article.

@fosdem organizers updated map so I updated it as well. The change was simple: there is no ATM at ULB (for quite a while).

So I added an info about it. And some minor edit.

This weekend I made a text generator bot trained on all 70+ issues of my newsletter :) It was really easy to make with @botkit , thanks @hongminhee !

When you necessarily need variable names for a single item of “data” vs. its collection, which naming convention do you prefer?

@laurenshof Thanks!

@kristoff Well, there's the simplest phrase which works for the most cases: “annyeonghaseyo.” For “thank you”: “gamsahamnida.” These spellings might look a little complicated, but the actual pronunciations aren't hard. Listen to the audio on the Wiktionary entries I linked.

By the way, I'm flying from Seoul to Brussels tomorrow to attend FOSDEM 2026. It's my first trip to Europe, so I'm both excited and nervous.
