@stefano I could use that deep sense of peace. Hunting a bug in my sshd config. 🥴🤣
I’m sure it's just a typo… als always (when it's not DNS).

@TheBreadmonkey Because you're a piss artist 🤪

@VeroniqueB99 INSTA-BLOCK!!!

Milo "ICE checkpoints at supermarket entrances, gas stations, strip malls, intersections, and government buildings with on-the-spot deportation of anyone unable to prove they were legally in the United States." Yiannopoulos has been busted by ICE. The really odd sound you hear is me cackling like a manic.

Over 150 wildfires are burning in Algeria 🇩🇿, but the country has received little international news coverage or aid compared to European countries on the other side of the Mediterranean.

Also put your clothes on the line. 🤣

El Niño climate patterns supercharged by burning of fossil fuels, study finds.

‘Godzilla’ event currently brewing could push 50 million people into acute hunger before the end of next year. #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming

@stshank Very cool. Rooting for you!

I used to work only with APIs, and I decided to build my own ActivityPub connections. That is not a small step.

The work of @silverpill, his thinking and his openness taught me a lot, and made me want to keep going with ActivityPub.

I think it's important to just say thank you to people who inspire you.

@TheBreadmonkey ha! What was the name of that film? Character ? I do recall it from Adam & Joe

Hello #fedihired #lazyweb,

TL;DR: are any goofy software shops hiring netherlands/remote (even with oppressive timezone differences)

Do any of y'all know of a europe based software house or recruitment agency who has even the slightest room for whimsy and humour in job applications? I'm not looking for mandatory clowning, just somewhere who won't mash the "you're worthless to our company / society" button if you put "lmao" or turn to the camera and say "get a load of this" when describing a database import script

I'm getting my mental health absolutely thrashed by having to write a very srss bznss resume and cover letter without jokes japes or guffaw. The combination of it being impossible to write like that and an absolute kick in the gender salad every time I get back a zero effort copy of the default rejection letter form companies' recruiter shitware is doing me real dirty

At this point I'm not sure if I'm looking to #getfedihired or if I'm just looking to vent.

I'm mostly forever #perl #smol + old web + backend / ISP, but a good neurodivergent coworker who thought it was cool could likely get me onto a different language in pretty short order

@wilbr @RebelGeek99 So then, "mortal enemy" was just a shorthand, not a category of action?

@cassidy I ended up using gradient weather. Looks like I want... Let's see if the data is good.

apropos of unfortunate discourse yesterday: is there *any* current podcast where senior programmers with vaguely progressive politics talk about programming and doing interesting things with software? am I the only person who is an audience for this?

@lritter @distractal

AI bozo got really mad we banned him and suddenly we're down for 12+ hours due to a DDoS attack. You do the math, I guess

Things I wish journalists knew

* If you report the right-wing dogwhistle, without explaining that it's a dogwhistle, all you're doing is right-wing propaganda

* CEO's/powerful people lie, and it's legal to remind your readers of this when you report on another lie

* Running at a loss due to private investment, then regulatory capture, followed by the inevitable rug-pull is the entire "tech" playbook, stop being naive

* Feel-good "success in adversity" articles are actually just victim-blamey

Crappy zoomed in mobile phone photo but cool sunset (made less cool by me saying ‘it looks like a burger!’).

This just happened yesterday in my neighborhood. A violent storm with heavy rain and extremely powerful wind. Tears and cars falling down, roofs broken, people having their houses filled with water.

I could shut up all the windows with metal stores that we are happy to have. Those who had individual houses suffered more, the roofs got really damaged. Also windows broke. People's cars destroyed by falling trees (somewhat a form of revenge, but I also am so unhappy for the trees, we already don't have enough of them).

This is all just the beginning. I expect this to become perfectly normal. We will have to adapt to harsher climate conditions.

In all of this, I was happy to see how much solidarity there was in our neighborhood group chat, younger people helping older neighbors drain water from their houses and fix some of the damage.
