I'm a world class developer/architect with ~20 years of experience urgently seeking work.

I'm a generalist, a quick learner and a problem solver. I've years of experience picking up the pieces and getting projects back on track.

Keywords: rust, elixir, erlang, python, perl, haskell, purescript, javascript, html, css, svg, devops, linux, terraform, docker etc. etc.

Looking for *remote* work (from the netherlands). no blockchains and probably no AI.

Look guys, I drew Europe from memory

I've deleted my NaNoWriMo account. They not only have a generative 'AI' sponsor, they're defending letting you use AI to plaigiarise yourself to 50,000 on the basis that disabled people need AI.

I have a cognitive disability that makes it very difficult for me to write and I am FURIOUS.

Make no mistake, it is very fucking ableist to use people like me as a shield when you are STEALING FROM PEOPLE LIKE ME. They are the ableist ones here. https://www.404media.co/nanowrimo-ai-policy-classist-ableist/

It occurred to me recently that a video is a three dimensional array of pixels that we view in slices along one axis.

And what if we viewed it along a different axis?

Like a well-known 1920 wide x 1040 tall x 483 frames film opener as 1920 wide x 483 tall x 1040 frames?

"real" names are such a funny concept, like buddy, you let the government tell you what your real name is? what next? let the government tell you your gender? don't be ridicules.

acab includes "real" name policies

The creator of Newgrounds has considered adding ActivityPub support to join the fediverse but is worried it would make their hosting fees untenable by “serving files to millions of people on third party apps“. Can anyone with more knowledge on how this works help them?

Having Newgrounds on the Fediverse would be incredible. Newgrounds has a huge art community, many features not available on any platform and has been around the longest (1999)

hello new friends. did you know that kitsune tails has a special lower-than-recommended-by-steam price in brazil? we priced it R$39.99 instead of the 59.99 steam suggested cause we know games are too dang expensive over there

There's been a bunch of games channelling the spirit of the Playstation 3's weird early years lately.

Why do you appreciate unions?

I’ll start:

Weekends off
Paid vacations
Work breaks
Sick leave
Paid holidays
No child labor
Safer working conditions
Health care and retirement benefits

Ah yes, the three genders:

My 6th grader has class this year called "Digital Literacy" where students learn about how to search for reliable information online, interpret data, and avoid misinformation & disinformation. They will also discuss #AI.

I cannot think of a more important subject in 2024. #education cc @Noupside

Hi. I'm the kid who liked to take things apart and figure out how they worked. Thing is, now I'm 30 odd years older, and I haven't grown out of taking things apart.
