Elfi, known bug enjoyer @elfi@pixie.town

In the Starfleet Technical Manual, there is a throwaway detail of the LCARS user interface that when it is upgraded, users can still utilize the previous several versions. This is because their work is mission-critical and it is unacceptable to compromise the mission by forcing unfamiliar changes; eventual retraining is part of their job, but the flexibility allows them to take the retraining at their own pace.

I think about this from time-to-time and how this is still a sci-fi idea that is seen all too rarely in how we do actual computer UIs.

hey all if you're around the #Koblenz and can help, this is an emergency—my two queer kids (young adults) who left my house recently had issues with their new host and are now stranded at the station, and they have no money to come home either. we need someone I can wire money to and who could bring it in cash to them, or else someone who could host them for a day, or else someone who could help them find a Bahnhofsmission at least. they do not speak German and are in an emotionally fragile state. DM me if you can help

*edit*: we did not find anyone in time sadly, so they'll hang out until I arrive there tomorrow. thanks everyone who helped 🙏

PLEASE help us with moving costs. we have someone to act as reference now but can't actually apply to anywhere cause we can't afford the deposit yet.

GOAL: £624.05/£4000

HEY CANADA.

MP Elizabeth May is sponsoring a petition to get Electoral Reform back in front of Parliament.

Could all of us who were utterly betrayed in 2016 when JT reneged on this please go put our electrons onto this one? yes, yes, the petitions don't mean a thing WILL happen, but there was already a good plan for this set out that got shelved. The longer we delay, the longer we risk what's happening in the US happening here.

this took 1000 years and I'm calling it done

You’re absolutely right — you are Pagliacci. It would certainly be difficult for you to attend your own performance! I should not have given such paradoxical advice, and I apologize deeply for the error. There is no excuse for my failure.

Nevertheless, comedy is a powerful healing force. My recommendation is to seek out live entertainment. For example, great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up. 🔗 Sponsored Reply (Great Clown Productions, Ltd.)

well hello, I would really like to #getFediHired

I have 7 years of experience at Microsoft in cloud infrastructure, focusing on Kubernetes and devOps with additional experience around databases, front end, algorithm design.

I am a skilled technical communicator and used to working across teams and even across companies. I have experience teaching people new to or experienced with technical topics.

Documentation and maintenance are passions of mine, and I want to ensure that not only do shiny new systems get built, but that they are documented, maintained, and can be monitored.

I've done considerable work in LGBTQ+ and accessibility education and love to find the places where these topics shine a light on technology.

Please reach out with leads. You can see my resume here: https://leecat.art/resume

(US, remote work pls!)
