By the way, they offered $160 per hour. Which is less than what I normally charge for expert work!
Chances are low that this will get the message across, but maybe they'll at least stop bothering me with this garbage.

Welp, it's official.
I had to let go of a client today because they are *all-in* on the slop machines…Claude to be precise. They intend for it to be integral to all code going forward.
I told them I can't do it. I won't do it!
Which leaves me in a real bind because the one major client I have left simply isn't able to pay all of the bills. A real strain on my finances…yikes. 😕
Anyhoo…good news is I'm ready to contribute real senior Web Dev expertise to your next project! 😅 #FediHire

Do folks know good options for learning Dutch?
Ik spreek een beetje Nederlands.
Buuuut I'm more than fed up with duolingo and would like to look into proper lessons.
Being able to do it from home is required.
Got a spam e-mail today from a recruiter offering the 'opportunity' to 'leverage my expertise' by... training an LLM.
I replied with "a class traitor is what you are".
food (vegan), shitpost, partial nudity
Also, did a spoof of those "fishing trophy" pictures as a shitpost
food (vegan), suggestive??
Harvested a zucchini from the garden today, it's massive and honestly looks like a horny shitpost
Ah, usual instance is up again, it was fixed! For future reference, I will also be reachable at @joepie91@slightly.tech whenever this instance goes down (and I'll probably migrate there fully eventually but I haven't worked out all the details yet).

my favorite kind of service is one where "but how does it stay afloat, how does this earn money?" is answered with "don't worry this is just A Gal hosting this in her free time"

Hey reader friends... do any of you know a way that does not involve Amazon or GoodReads... that I can say "remind me every time this author releases a new book".?

Just heard on the lunchtime news that there are no reports of any deaths or serious injuries anywhere as a result of the Pacific tsunami.
Take a bow, emergency planners of the Pacific region.
With so much crappy news around at the moment, it's lovely to hear that sometimes, people do their job really well and lives get saved.

I wonder if we could organize some sort of rota for existential dread.
Like I can worry about *waves hand at everything* for an hour, and then take a break and let someone else do the worrying for a while.

Me: *posts a highly technical blog post with over 4000 words*
Also me 5 minutes later: why has nobody commented on my gigantic blog post yet 😭

How is it that within 10 minutes of the Online Safety Act, Ofcom is investigating 34 porn sites, yet in 30 years of disability legislation in the UK there hasn't been a single instance of case law for websites or apps because the EHRC has signally failed to support people with disabilities even when there is a strong case to be made? 😩

How to properly do a task that would take half an hour to do manually but should be easily scriptable:
1. Spend half an hour trying to get the script to work with the wrong tool
2. Try again with `sed` and get the job done in a couple of minutes
Time saved: Negative five minutes

honestly the best accounts on here are the ones that post really complex interesting computer stuff and also very hot nudes, preferably in 50/50 concentration
