I spent 1 month on vacation and didn't write a single line of code😬, but I need it, why? because I had 1 year and a half with no real vacation and much stress at work... this is your call, don't feel guilty when you are lazy on your vacation, that's its purpose 🌴

To recap day02 of @amsterdam.voxxeddays.com ! I learned that : - I have right to collect my data from apps by using GDPR in @iuliaferoli.com talk ! - Jdk26 may sounds boring but it's not in @mostlynerdless.de and @lutskedev.bsky.social (1/2)

JavaFX is back — now part of the Java Verified Portfolio. Proper support again across Java versions. Big for desktop apps. Modern Java can do way more than people think — even AI and full stack with fewer moving parts. Also: great hallway track, Brian Goetz, Stuart Marks, and Duke 🙂

The idea of the internet was to have a decentralized network of computers. But what we have today is a network with big players like Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Cloudflare. If one if these players fail, like Cloudflare currently, a large part of the internet fails. We should go back.
