Hi friends! My department is shuttering and I'm on the market for a new remote role. 7 years experience as a software and systems engineer. I lead projects and have built a lot of well received products. I'm a maestro with the front end and interface work! Not picky about languages but have experience with Clojure, elixir, javascript, python, rust, and C#.

If your company or team is hiring let me know! boosts appreciated!

Please boost for each especially if you have followers from chitter.xyz

Only on the Fedi: This morning someone was 'splaining to me why mansplaining is good, actually. 🙃🙃🙃

Edited to add: Fair warning --- I am muting everyone who thinks it's fun to reply to this with "well, actually..." and/or splain some more why mansplaining is good, actually.

Well over 100 scientific articles describe immune system damage caused by COVID. This provides a direct causal scientific explanation of unprecedented outbreaks of many other diseases.

The "normalization" narrative is casting around for speculative explanations. Ignore them.

A desperate plea into the world: does anyone have a single ball (or part ball) of Woolcraft Harvest Chunky in the green (444) colourway?

Mum has finally knit a sweater after years of convincing her that she can... and she's hit yarn chicken before finishing the neckband, and the yarn is now out of stock everywhere. If I could purchase from someone's stash I would be eternally grateful.

UPDATE 1: we’ve found it! Thanks to @vulgalour for finding a shop still listing some in stock.
2: no yarn!

I find that the concept of enshittification has really helped my facility designs for ShadowRun.

I tend to over engineer mega corporate defenses, but if I then go through a process of figuring out where costs could be cut, it significantly improves the playability and the immersion.

Who can cover two job roles at once? Who hasn’t been replaced because of the hiring freeze? What systems have not received regular maintenance?

Open question for people who make art prints, stickers, etc. at home: is there an entry-level inkjet/inktank printer you'd recommend? I've been sitting on getting one together with my sister for producing stickers on, and I realize now's as good of a time as any. :boost_requested:

Bonus points if it has native support in Linux. I know Brother is good about that, but I don't think their ink tanks are refillable in the least, which is a pity

"Follow Me"

Traversing liminal spaces of my mind
Through foggy realms I roam
In the distance a golden light shines
A beacon for the pathway home

Rant about Discord eating the open internet 

Discord is a communication tool. It's for chatting and voice calls during gaming sessions with friends, like TeamSpeak before it. That's its main use-case!

Using it for anything more than that is just you making things harder for yourself and everyone else

Everything you do on Discord is invisible to the open internet and not crawlable by search engines and thus not discoverable to anyone not joined on your server

It's going against everything that makes the internet itself useful in the first place: free flow of information

Rant about Discord eating the open internet 

I hate this trend of everything needing to be on fucking #Discord

Fuck your little private treehouse club that’s badly managed and barren because you learned the hard way community management is a full-time job too much to handle for a single person

Use better, open tools ffs

Rant about Discord eating the open internet 

Wikis are useful because it's open to everyone

GitHub/GitLab is useful because it allows everyone to view what the code does, what issues are already reported and provide fixes

NexusMods is useful as a one-stop-shop for every mod for every game ever

Discord is none of that
