I loved computers, once.
Ruby dev. Previously embedded-dev. Inflicted with the “gifted” label as a child. Frustrated creator. 46. Married, heteroflexible, cis, he/him. What you see is that you get, for better or worse.

There is no justice. Accepting that is hard, but important.

To those who are biological fathers, legal fathers, or simply father figures to others, and to all those who are father-adjacent, I wish a wonderful Father’s Day. 😁

YouTube shoves Shorts into the middle of normal video results because they know nobody will view them if they’re in a separate tab or app.

This is a classic dark pattern, also used to shove AI into everything.

Hey Fedi, I need help again.
I'm still unemployed, and trying to fix that, but I still have rent and bills, and next week is particularly rough.

I have a phone/internet bill due on the 16th (tomorrow) ($150), a water bill due on the 19th ($250), and then rent at the end of the week ($500). I can probably be a little late on the water bill if I have to, but I can't risk the phone/internet (I need them to get a job) or the rent (because life).

So I need about $900 in total. Please help if you can, or boost if you can't.

I'm sorry I keep begging, I've run out of stuff to sell that wouldn't put me in a worse position without it, and just don't know what else to do.

On the other hand, if you know anywhere looking to hire a C developer, Javascript developer, webdev, unix sysadmin, storeperson, cleaner, dishwasher or whatever, either remotely or in Brisbane Australia, let me know? Even just once-off odd-jobs would do for now.

If you can help financially though, that'd be huge. Thankyou.

This screenshot from the AP’s live coverage shows what those “non-lethal” bullets can do.

LAPD and LASD fired dozens, if not hundreds, of these into crowds of peaceful protesters.

Listen and watch the police fire into unarmed protesters.

I am watching LAPD and National Guard members indiscriminately fire rubber bullets into a crowd.

Any member of the military who obeys an unlawful order of the Trump regime should be court-martialed and dishonorably discharged, with the loss of all benefits and status.

Which, given they are explicitly violating the Posse Comitatus Act, would be all of those on American streets today.

This is precisely what this regime has been trying to provoke, and it is coming to pass now.

The date of Trump’s death should become a federal holiday.

(Not CWing this because I’m pretty sure the rest of the world would agree with this statement)

Played some Deltarune Chapter 3. Sucked horribly at first, until I realized the lag was awful because I hadn’t enabled Game Mode on the television… then I sucked only slightly.

Anyways, the surreal humor of Toby Fox is exactly what I needed in these frankly crap-ass times.
