Elfi, known bug enjoyer @elfi@pixie.town

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!)

I fell in love with light. Lights. Everywhere. My partner fueled my passion and like a little moth-squirrel brought light fixture after light fixture into my apartment. And smart stuff as well. So now I use my phone to turn on, turn off, adjust, dim, light up, and change colors according to my mood and needs.

My room has six Govee light bulbs alone. Two Govee lamps and one Govee string light. There are more fairy lights as well, and another led lamp and they're all plugged into smart power outlets.

I never get tired of seeing my room in various lighting situations. It's cozy, it's cinematic, it's moody, it's beautiful. A source of joy.

The other day I made a 3D model of Alice Lunazera as a plushie! At first it was just a prop but then her and I agreed it would make a cute vtuber model! I might make more of these. I explode with cute aggression every time I see it!

CDE 2.5.3 released

So my love for the Common Desktop Environment isn't exactly a secret, so let's talk about the project's latest release, CDE 2.5.3, released a few days ago. As the version number suggests, this first new version in two years is a rather minor release, containing only a few bug fixes. For instance, CDE's window manager dtwm picked up support for more mouse buttons, its file manager dtfile

In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu lies dreaming. I focus on my dreamwatcher machine, making minute adjustments in all five dimensions.

The Great Old One whimpers, vast limbs twitching in unease. What visions can terrify such an entity?

An image forms in the machine.

A classroom.

No trousers.

Anyone hiring a frontend developer in Canada? Circumstances have led me to start looking for my next job sooner than I would have liked.

I excel at working on design systems, cultivating a frontend culture, building with the grain of the web, and creating inclusive user experiences. Reach out if you need help with any of these!

I have deep knowledge of the web fundamentals (HTML/ARIA, CSS, JS) and the frontend ecosystem at large (build tools, frameworks, design tools).

#GetFediHired #FediHire

This National Day of Mourning, instead of ignoring or even celebrating genocide, learn to do better.

Send money to Gazans, check out the Indigenous Mutual Aid hashtag, fight against I.C.E. in your communities!

From Turtle Island to Palestine to Hawai'i, we are still here! We see what you're doing, we see what your priorities are. You must do better
