Borrowed from a friend. #cats #catsofmastodon #caturday

Right now @l_avrot & @karenhjex are on stage at #pgconfeu demonstrating creativity on steroids (!!!!) to shine a light on the challenges women face navigating a male-dominated tech world, including in Postgres… The talk is “Trying to be Barbie in Ken's Mojo Dojo Casa House” & I applaud Lætitia’s & Karen’s courage in giving this talk #Barbie #PostgreSQL #database #diversity #womenintech

Today the a-ma-zing @l_avrot presented at #pgconfeu about “Learning advanced SQL the weird (and hard) way”, about how she’s been using SQL-only (#PostgreSQL flavor) to solve #AdventOfCode puzzles. What fun. #Postgres #SQL #databases

The design on the screens for the #PGConfEU #PostgreSQL #Conference looks really nice!

The big one is in the conference area, the small one in the elevator.

Thanks to Chris Ellis @intrbiz for the work!

Not only Chris did this wonderful elephant with lights (everybody wants one here)
He also talks about IoT with PostgreSQL at #pgconfeu
Moving, storing.... Interesting way to address the topic from the "end device".

Google announced that starting in June 2024, ad blockers such as uBlock Origin #uBO will be disabled in Chrome 127 and later with the rollout of Manifest V3 (#Mv3).

The new #Chrome manifest will prevent using custom filters and stops on demand updates of blocklist. Only #Google authorized updates to browser extension will be allowed in the future, which mean an automatic win for Google in their battle to stop YouTube #AdBlockers .

#ManifestV3 is deceitful and threatening to your privacy, and now is a good time to switch to #Firefox (@mozilla) and/or #TorBrowser (@torproject) if you haven't done so already!

Chrome Manifest V3 Transition Timeline (2023-11-16)

EDIT for clarification: MV3 in Chrome will still allow some ad blocking extensions, but will severely limit their blocking ability and even restricts pre-set filters to 50 MAX.

I am not monetizing my SQL-writing abilities properly

Two years since the new version of google icons and the struggle is still real
