Back in the day, Twitter used to be really good if I set up a thread to connect freelancers with clients. Let's see if Mastodon can do it.
Clients: if you're looking for freelancers/contractors, get in the comments
Freelancers/contractors: get in the comments
Everyone else: boosts appreciated.
The market is *dead* for freelancers and a big part of that (in my opinion) is fragmentation. Let's get that network effect *back*.
@anemone @evacide @mattwilcox - Yeah. There are. Because next is classifying LGBTQIA+ as pornographic and limiting speech and access to info on that.
This isn't about porn.
It's not about the kids.
This is about the first amendment, freedom of expression, access to education/information/representation.

I don't really post my Ko-fi because I feel bad about it but as my job hunt continues (and continues) a kind friend proposed a solution: what if I give you a thing in return?
So TL;DR now you can toss me a tenner and I'll pull you some tarot cards!

The fridge that runs without electricity! Mitticool, made of terracotta, cools using ancient evaporative cooling, just add water. Invented by Mansukhbhai Prajapati post-2001 quake, it’s eco-friendly, off-grid, and keeps food fresh for days. Low-tech meets timeless wisdom. 🌍💧

“Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He's weak and he's ineffective. So the only way he figures that he's going to get reelected, and as sure as you're sitting there, is to start a war with Iran.”
— Donald Trump on Barack Obama in 2011
@honze_net I absolutely agree.
I haven't posted publicly about this yet (I plan to do a write-up soon) but pix.lgbt and homestead.social are built on a cluster (all on Raspberry Pis) that I built to be fully mobile (literally has a handle on it), with a solar powered battery backup, and dual mobile WANs (fully encrypted over Wireguard VPN) in case we need to flee.
We're not going anywhere!

The #Nachtlichter app was designed to assist participants in counting and classifying light sources. We pre-defined street segments (usually from one street corner to the next), and participants went there at night and reported all the different lights they could see.
One question that we had to deal with early on was "how do we categorize all the different light sources that are out there?" In the end, we came up with 18 categories (including "other" as the final category for uncommon things like flagpole lights, glowing park benches, illuminated water fountains, etc.).
