QOTD: "I think, every year, the richest person in the world should be sacrificed and their wealth distributed to the poorest among us. The rest of the year would be billionaires scrambling to distribute their wealth in an attempt to ensure they aren't the one to pushed out into the ocean next year. Is that radical enough for you?" --@genxkiwi66

Boosts are appreciated 🙇‍♂️

Hello all! I lost my steady gig a year ago, projects from my network are running out, and I need a job.

I’ve worked as an iOS dev for 15 years on cool apps like Camera+, but also building and running web and backend systems. Objective-C/Swift, but also TypeScript/next.js, PHP/WordPress, whatever fits the job!

I can work remote globally or locally in Japan (have PR)

Resume, Portfolio, LinkedIn etc are all at https://kalleboo.com/me

The trend of software organizations to produce something good and free until market share goals are attained then remove the good and/or free part really irritates me. I may yet lose my idealism/naivety. I switched to MX Linux from Kubuntu.

I have just replaced my dilapidated old website with a shiny new one. If you like wood engraving prints it may be worth a visit. I’d be very grateful for boosts, a small increase in traffic on the site might persuade me that my time was well spent! I will now go back to paint and ink.
