I'm out of #college for about a year. I have #CS degree. No jobs so far. Didn't get the highest GPA. No internships. But I think I still like #programming. I did fairly well in my Data Science course (got a B, majority of grade was based on term project).
On a different note, I find it hard to focus on projects. I spend more time searching novel projects on #Github than developing my own.
I have an interest in #machinelearning, but I feel like there's nothing left to do in that field. As I understand, the models are pretty much fixed, and it's more about acquiring data. I suppose that a PHD might be in the business of developing new models, or evolving existing models, but I'm not at that level, I have a bachelors degree.

Somehow I missed the go live of @codeberg early this year. Finally, there is a foss alternative to github!

#GitHub starts blocking developers in countries facing US trade sanctions (like Crimea, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria..)

soon #Venezuela? probably, idk

Remember when a bunch of us were lamenting the end of #GitHub as a (somewhat) neutral development platform for #FreeCode development, after it got bought by #McSoft, and lots of people were trying to tell us it was fine? Now they're enforcing racist trade sanctions on behalf of the US government:

Now I'm not one to say I told you so, but it's even clearer now how important code forge federation projects like #ForgeFed and #SourceHut are.

A few weeks ago I posted here that the #decentralized blogging platform @PlumeDev had some of its right-to-left (RTL) rendering issues fixed by @ahangarha. I myself had also fixed many little CSS issues related to #RTL for @Mastodon in the past.

Well, expect such kinds of things to happen less often in the future, since #GitHub has mass-blocked many accounts of Iranians* at various levels; This applies not only to Iranian residents, but also sometimes to Iranians living abroad.

* And not only for #Iran, but also for #Cuba, #Syria, #NorthKorea, and #Crimea.
