I think that many people worry about what Meta might be able to do wih all the data that they can access, and we don’t know what they will do with it. We don’t know what a Mastodon instance admin might do with the data either, but Meta has much more resources to use them.

OK, that’s great news, thank you for your reply! :)

I see more and more people mentionning NixOS, until I read your message I thought it’d be more complicated than that to use it. But I have a beginner question: do the Nix repositories contain many packages that you’d want, or do you find yourself installing stuff manually?

I’ve been a software engineer for a little more than 3.5 years now. Before that, I studied for 5 years: 2 years at the university, 3 years at an engineering school where I actually did an apprenticeship. I mostly write Java and Javascript for work. I work in a small worker-owned company, which is a fantastic experience! If that is relevant, I am French and I live in France.

I’m just starting to be interested in functional programming and to learn about it. I already did some Haskell as a student but I never explored it too much. I’ll probably learn some FP languages in the upcoming months: probably a Lisp dialect (I don’t know which one yet) and Haskell.
