Ola! It’s Reitz, the introverted designer you’ve never heard of because I dread being perceived 👋

I'm specialised in UX/UI and currently studying Network Systems Administration.

Here to jest and share my interests ( #design #mentalhealth #lgbtq #food #memes #techforgood ). Also looking forward to get more involved with this new side of my career here.

I’d especially like to connect with fellow gen z fedifolks, but everyone is welcome

@aeryn_thrace @academicchatter @digiresacademy @fzj @HelmholtzOpenScienceOffice Thanks for the clarification, Monica! 🌟 I got the dates mixed up, but I’m excited to check out the NFDITalk recording on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=gIS59CknqF. The conversation about #OpenScience and how we make it more human-centered, with effective pedagogy and not just top-down policy, is so important. Looking forward to learning more from your insights! 😊

@stephane_klein Population défavorisée pouvant être -> Matignon(?) comme dans le cas de la prestation "pro bono" qu'a offert à l'État pour l'organisation et l'exécution du sommet en 2018.
Sommet visant à faire rencontrer les patrons de la mondiale pour aboutir à des actions vertueuses, mais quasiment aucune action ni projet imaginé sur ce sommet n'a vu le jour, bizarre...

@gerrymcgovern You raise a great point! We must consider the environmental impact of our tech choices and commit to sustainability. 🌍💚

It's not just harmful to the planet; consumers are pressured to buy new devices every few years. Microsoft's practices are frustrating, with many now seeking alternatives to Windows due to its bloated features and poor browser experience.

This is a chance for many to explore better options! Windows has become more about unnecessary functions and less about user experience. We need to hold tech companies accountable and advocate for the right to repair and open-source solutions.

Functional devices shouldn't end up as e-waste just because of a minor issue. Open hardware and software like Linux and FreeBSD offer faster, more reliable alternatives that help reduce e-waste. ♻️✨

Let’s embrace a more sustainable future! Be free, hackers! 🙌 :tux:

The amazing @sunnydeveloper & I led SocialCoding4Good at Benetech.org from 2011-14 to do just that, though not just retirees :) Many tech nonprofits need devs yet lack resources to manage individual task contributions.

Space has grown *a lot" since then, lots of collective learning + many new vertical & regional organizers. Not all #opensource but lots of real social impact. Ovio & DataKind are a couple of favorites: ovio.org/ www.datakind.org/

ovio.orgYour Matchmaker Between GitHub Projects And Talented ContributorsOvio is a community platform designed to help developers find open source projects that align with their skills and values.

A group of people are trying to get a new Tech for Good Cymru group off the ground. The development agency, Promo Cymru, are hosting a launch event in two weeks on the evening of June 20th. I think its a group that will probably align with a lot of people here on toot.cymru as the welsh Mastodon diaspora. Myself and @davidoclubb will be in attendence!
