Socially awkward penguin, rollin' hard in the land of fediverse chicks and reply guys.

Just wrapped up high school and exploring what's next! You probably know me from Altbot (the accessibility bot that helps make Fedi more inclusive), but I also build terminal tools, AI integrations, and love working on anything that improves user experience.

Looking for opportunities in full-stack dev, UI/UX, or accessibility-focused roles. Strong in Go, Python, C#, Web, 7+ years Linux experience, and passionate about open source. My projects have thousands of users and I'm always thinking about how to make tech more accessible, inclusive, and user friendly for everyone.

Boosts appreciated!

@KarinWanderer they'll probably find a way to keep his head alive, and just strap it to a pile of Marshall stacks

Saw some gold and red cherry trees(I thought) in a ditch off a highway exit and after trying to crane my head to see them without causing an accident, I went out of my way to turn around, go back, and park in a likely illegal and dangerous place. They’re actually Klamath plums, also called Oregon plums or cherry plums. The trees looked fantastic so I picked and ate some and am going to save all the seed for planting. Yes, I know it will take forever to grow fruit. #gardening #orchard
@Permacultureandpolitics @Permacultureandpolitics aha! Hello from Bowen Island, where my neighbour (daughter of pioneers) called these cherry plums. I thought maybe they were another heritage variety also called cherry plums, but also came in green according to the painting. Never seen them in green. But thank you for the photos, red and yellow for the win!
@Permacultureandpolitics There are several similar types of small wild plums and damsons. I've been doing some this week (in the UK) myself - between the school and depot (I'm a school bus driver).

@Permacultureandpolitics

Are they similar to Rainier Cherries? I think they have some plum like qualities

@geos the golden ones look like them. Cherries and plums are both prunus. These are about cherry sized, mostly tart and berry-like, and wild (native).
@Permacultureandpolitics "forever" meaning, like, 20 years ? It's not that long when you think about it.
@V_B_R I will be dead when some of my seedlings (especially the walnuts and pecans) start bearing well. But it’s ok. Future animals and people can enjoy them.
@Permacultureandpolitics ... and the seeds may not be what you want ... a lot of fruit requires cuttings + grafting to get the "breed" you want.

@Retreival9096 yup, I am well aware. I also plant apple, walnut, plum, and pecan seeds, as well as seeds and seedlings of native plants on unfenced parts of 9 acres that I am reforesting. I plant a lot knowing about half will die. If a plant is very nice I will fence and carry 5 gallon buckets of water to it the first summer.

In my *actual* orchards, where I get more food in less time, I graft both purchased and home grown scion onto purchased rootstock. #permaculture

@Permacultureandpolitics Very cool! way to protect plant genes of all kinds!
