Slightly out of date, but one of the big reasons that our media is so out of touch with what the majority of us want is in my opinion because we no longer provide the majority of their funding.

I'm not suggesting that I know how to fix this problem. I'm just sad that the fossil fuel industry and their co-conspirators like Toyota are the major funders of what news they report.

Reconsidering my employment options. #FediHire #FediJobs

Anyone looking for a multi skilled electrical/electronics engineer?

I can't pin down my job title because I have so many hats.

General elec-trical/tronic engineering, prototype engineering, production engineering, Automotive HV safety.

Currently effectively doing a principle engineers job on an engineer's grade on top of Engineer in Control of Automotive HV. And EV safety training.

Can do most build jobs including mechanical and hydraulic. As well as designing electrical bits.

Mainly automotive based but also done aerospace jobs so vaguely familiar with how those systems work. CAN, ARINC that kinda stuff.

Can do safety things like RAMS, Permit to work and such as well.

Have the basics of PCB design.

Am pretty much "The whole package"
I know bits about a /lot/ of stuff. And what I don't know I'll absorb like a sponge oftentimes.

Lots of people seem to say "I am not inherently against AI tools".

Well, I would like to say I AM INHERENTLY AGAINST AI TOOLS.

Fuck them. Fuck them all. Fuck them for using up resources like water we cannot spare so tech bros can live lives of irresponsibility and mindless destruction.

Centrism doesn't protect us from fascism, it delivers fascists into power

RIP Lynn Conway, a trans pioneer who made major contributions to computing, noted in this article from last year:

"She had already been forced to restart her career from scratch with a new identity in 1969, after being fired by IBM for telling her bosses she was transitioning. The rupture meant she could not claim credit for techniques she had invented there, even as they became standard practice across the industry.

And so, over the past two decades, Conway has been investigating – and attempting to reverse – what she describes as her "disappearance" from history, chronicling her experiences both as a computing and a gender trailblazer.

Slowly, that recognition is coming to pass. In 2009, she received an award from the engineering trade group, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers(IEEE). In 2020, IBM finally apologised for firing her 42 years earlier.

And this October she was inducted into the National Inventors’ Hall of Fame as the co-creator of VLSI – 14 years after Mead received the same honour."

There's something special about old TV shows, and you think "What a time" looking back into that era of what things were like back then. I wish you could have that era back.

Growing up in the UK I would remember watching this show on TV whenever I had days off school, on on days where I was really sick.
