@device @MaddieM4 @mhoye Even a few years ago, it was often a challenge, but I could usually find something in a job description to sincerely find interest in. "I would enjoy more chances to write code in Python to automate testing", or something. And I can't anymore.

I've switched many of my open-source projects to yearly release cycles, and honestly, it's great.

Turns out software development is much more enjoyable when you stop pretending every Tuesday is a historic event.

Instead of switching contexts 8 times a day, I now switch projects about once a month.

@ccamara@bonfire.cim.warwick.ac.uk @ivan@bonfire.cafe Yep, this seems to be the same issue.

@llamasoft_ox Is it the same curry house every week, or do you travel around to try them all?

My annual purchase of the latest edition of the geekiest book on my shelves arrived today, and I am fully nerded out.

@SomeGadgetGuy if we can count on one thing it's Elon letting down his fans

Sort of been in this place for awhile, though I've been in other comments. It's not as common around here. Just have to move forward, somewhere in North, something about the place. Or I can go back to Navi altogether in one piece.

Streamed for over an hour with broken synth output. Nobody made a beep :)

@GrapheneOS Congrats! I'll have to wait for a more affordable model, but it's exciting to see Graphene options from Motorola.

oh
i actually did not post most of the collages on bandcamp because, well, it is not a great place to post pictures lol.

@lnl asking the important questions

my official answer in the orga role is:

"idk"

@adam hell yeah!

The really wretched part about looking for work these days is knowing what AI costs.

It's sitting in interviews with people who think of themselves as progressive, socially and environmentally conscious, who'd never in a thousand years say proudly that this staggering scale of theft, exploitation, pollution and destruction is an acceptable price to pay for toy apps and mediocre prose, that it's all worth it, ask me "how do you feel about using AI?"

How should I feel?

Why is it called eth0 if we 802.11 in default via 204.2.68.1 dev wlan0 out

When covid started I didn’t know anything about it. I wasn’t on Twitter or reddit or Facebook. I was in college, doing that and had a baby. We watched cartoons and when they slept I’d read and write. I had no idea until no one was on the road or at Walmart with me. I had no idea how to even get information about what was happening, so I went to the county website and found nothing. my professors stopped livestreaming and sent helpful information about it the same week so I got it.

Turned out the city had a Facebook page that people were getting their information from. And there was also a Twitter.

Then my kid gets to be school aged. The fucking school used Facebook and twitter to communicate with parents. I missed so many programs, and lacked information about everything that happened there.

Fucking hate it.

We shouldn’t be forced to use toxic platforms that track and profile us in order to get public information.

Platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and YouTube track and profile their users so that they can target advertising towards them.

Their business models fuel online harms by pushing more and more extreme content to users. Despite this, these platforms are one of the primary ways that government departments share public information.

Tell your MP to support the EDM calling on the UK Government to ensure that all public sector social media content is published on open, decentralised and federated platforms!
