My company is hiring #DataEngineer s!

Stack is #DotNet and #postgresql #postgres

Team is fully remote, and I've been very happy with them.

DM me for a link to the posting. #GetFediHired #DataEngineering

EDIT: To be clear, I am not the hiring manager, I'm just a guy who works here.

I think one of the hard things about fedi, culturally, is that a whole lot (most??) of us are here because we are refusers of norms. And which norms and which levels of refusal differ.

So even if you’re at the 80th to 99th percentile of resistance to corporate social media OR mainstream party politics OR mainstream journalism OR cars OR the normalization of repeat covid infections, there will always be people popping up to tell you that by not being completely pure, you’re killing everyone.

free business idea: rear- mounted orange triangles for bikes to fool automatic cars into seeing a pylon.

Bike jerseys whose full-back logo is a 5mph speed limit sign.

Can anyone remind me what the current best nasal sprays are for COVID (or other) defense?

Bonus points if there are any safe for preteen-age kids!

[Feel free to boost.]

#CovidIsNotOver

Degrowth is an incredibly threatening idea to capitalists -esp. to some in certain industries.

There's gonna be lots more disinfo and distortions about it.

Degrowth targets -excesses- that are harmful (mega yachts, bombs, commutes- stuff we don't need to live well), not reductions to basic well being.

Comments declaring we'll need to live in caves, or that reductions in population are necessary first steps …yeah, ya might want to investigate whether they are paid shills or just ignorant.

my university has converted our office telephones to Microsoft Teams. when i grumbled about this to a favourite sysadmin, this is how they responded 🔥

“Microsoft has actually brilliantly leveraged the lousy security landscape -- for which they are in no small part responsible -- to capture even larger market-share, as we now need commercial entities to produce the software required to protect us from their failures, and therefore need a more uniform environment to achieve the necessary scale. The uniformity then guarantees an ever greater scale for the inevitable conflagration. Monocultures guarantee one big fire instead of a bunch of small survivable ones. We really have no interest in learning from evolution, in no small part because it would produce fewer billionaires.
