Gelukkig 2025!

My employer is currently looking for a senior dev doing really complex stuff in and on C++ code. This is in Ottawa (Canada) and not remote.
The product is a niche dev tool. It's not a compiler, but it's that kind of problem space.
If you're interested, please DM me and I'll provide more details. I'm being vague because I don't want to link my work and personal online presences.
FWIW, I genuinely like my co-workers and enjoy this kind of work.
Boosts are okay.

Does anybody know where I could advertise my indie game localization services? Does itch.io have something that would let me do that?
@ifixcoinops (Recommendations on how to fix it Properly, with the understanding that the things available in hardware stores do not match at all what is available in eg. the US, are very welcome! That's where most of the spoons cost goes, figuring that out)
@ifixcoinops Unfortunately repairing it Properly has a spoons cost, so I have patched it up for now with the knowledge that it needs a proper fix soon

Can someone recommend me some hard or semi-hard transhumanist #scifi (preferably prose or webcomic form) that does *not* have a faux-rationalist eugenicsy vibe to it and has a more laid-back and creative attitude regarding posthuman enhancements and so on, while also *not* having a technophobic, conservative attitude that treats the human body and mind as something sacred and untouchable like a lot of sci-fi that touches on these topics?

When scientists name creatures they should have to write a little rhyming limerick using the name so that people know how to pronounce it correctly.

I just did a surprise ballistic uninstallation of a ceiling lamp using a bedsheet, and I promise you that this is not a shitpost😭
hospitals
Neither the times nor quantities are accurate but it seems to have been approximated closely enough by this point that nursing staff can work with it and provide medication at the correct times in the correct quantities
hospitals
Once again finding that hospital IT systems are completely incapable of dealing with medication that is taken on sleep-relative time, not clock time - my medication file at this hospital looks like a battleground by this point, of different hospital staff trying to implement their own IT-system-compatible approximations of what I've told them
"Mozilla Corporation is separate from the Foundation"
Okay but why do you expect me to take that seriously if there's no way for me to interact with Foundation things without also being hit by the Corporation's shit governance? What is this supposed separation actually worth then?

@eniko forever thinking about "lol gravé" because this of course is *exactly* how language evolves
@antiaall3s@chaos.social I don't know about people on other platforms, but I suspect that a lot of folks here have no intention of moving to Bluesky (given that its federation seems nonexistent in practice)

They teased you when you were young, because you didn't fit in. But you've grown up now, and you were never an ugly duckling; it turns out you were a horrible goose.
Make them pay. 
@matt @slightlyoff @nolan I've long noticed a pattern with "well-resourced pseudo-underdogs" where the claimed team size and capabilities seem to change overnight depending on which size better suits the argument they're trying to make or the image they're trying to project.
Big team when they're trying to claim they are more competent than community initiatives, then suddenly it's a small team when accountability comes looking. npm (at least pre-acquisition) constantly pulled the same trick, for example.
@GLaDTheresCake Same! The ride accessibility update to Droomvlucht (which seems like it may have been a prototype for the Danse Macabre approach?) is promising for that, at least

@joepie91 cost and lack of knowledge, but it is really cool that it's a part of this. I hope they update the full park with this.
Oh wow, and apparently the 'pictures' on that object are actually screens which start moving every once in a while, and tell the story in sign language
