A lot is going on today: A few colleagues are sawing a yew trunk into boards, while other millers are planing some wood for a customer. I started cleaning and setting saws, as we do not have that many sharp saws left.
We set the saws before sharpening them.
We usually do not sharpen saws when there are visitors in the mill, because the sharpening machine makes a lot of noise.

Als een staatssecretaris opstapt vanwege racisme, dan zeg je niet: ‘Oh we gaan haar missen en kunnen jullie de rechtsstaatverklaring nog een keer ondertekenen?’ Dan eis je dat degenen die zich racistisch hebben geuit uit het kabinet worden gezet. (Jesse Klaver).

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?

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

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.

@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
Was watching a video of Danse Macabre and in one shot I noticed something I hadn't noticed before: a braille plaque on one of the decoration objects in the new themed area around it (the object contained some text, so I presume that that's what it was for, or maybe it was the equivalent of alt text).
Which made me wonder: why *are* such plaques not more common in theme parks?

Some of y'all here would see a story about someone's experience with genocide written on Google docs or discussed on Zoom & attack those bringing this story to the fore for using the wrong platform.
Makes you look so incredibly privileged & out of touch.
The priority can be to reach as many people as possible using platforms that are easy for them to use, rather than proving that one is against Big Tech.
Same attitude that makes some of the most vulnerable people not want to use Mastodon.
