I underestimated how much of my adult life would be spent tracking packages online.

Is it me or are there more pictures without #AltText these days?

Please remember to add alt text. It doesn't take long and, like subtitles on TV, it's good for everyone. I like reading the alt text. And try not to boost things without it.

Please welcome my very favorite hermit / anchoress @JulianNorwich1 over from the birdsite.

A wonderful person & another big win for #mastodon #FollowFriday

Well, looks like I've been laid off. Gonna take some time to get myself in order, but if anyone's looking for an experienced DevOps / Platform Engineer with a passion for developer enablement and containers, hit me up here or at hachyjobs @ kantzer dot io.

Yesterday,I rescued an injured #coyote here in Tahoe. Unfortunately, an x-ray revealed that someone shot the animal in the spine with a pellet gun paralyzing it. With no hope of a successful recovery, we had to euthanize the animal. What is wrong with people? I don't understand this level of cruelty!

People that torture wildlife deserve a ride to the train station. The Yellowstone train station.

Twitterโ€™s ad revenue is down 89% and not many users are signing up to its paid subscription. In April, itโ€™s removing โ€œlegacyโ€ blue checks and further prioritizing paid accounts.

For Disconnect, I explain that Elon Musk needs this to push more users to subscribe to Twitter Blue so he can pay his $1.5 billion in annual interest payments. But it doesnโ€™t look like thatโ€™s going to happen.

If you look at the people convinced they're getting into heaven, you'll understand the gates are there to keep them in. Heaven *is* a bad neighborhood.

Why are there gates around Heaven. Is it in a bad neighborhood?

Who could have guessed that a feral group of sociopaths with the motto "move fast and break things" would break things?

Not shitposting you, just old enough to have seen too many of those "can't fail" career paths burn out. I started my career in software, and was lucky enough to stumble into an easy transition, a couple decades back - the first time computers went China Syndrome.

When I graduated uni in 2008, I figured compsci was more-or-less future proof as a career: cutting edge tech, still in the first century of discovery, it seemed like a golden age in spite of the now obvious signs of decay.

Now, I'm unemployed again with 20 years of experience in this ridiculous field. I remember feeling very confident in my c# and JS back then, ready to replace those COBOL-dinosaurs who weren't keeping up.

Oh the irony...

Mariupol will be a living nightmare, after they've driven the Russians out.
