A #solarpunk future where resilience and stewardship of the ecosphere bring the earth to a new balance.

A picture of a traditional balinese house built on a seasonal lake. The roof has a double peak of thatched panels with a frame of timber.

The lower half of the house is a stout barge constructed of sturdy timbers. Resting on a frame that holds it ot the ground and serves as it's anchorage.

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.

@Subumbral I have a theory that a certain amount of the spam texts are from the opposition; intended to poison the channel, and that another fraction are straight up theft trying to get card details.

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.

@Karstan I have to make the time to migrate.

@munin The biggest blind spots of so-called allies and friends of LGBTQIA+ people who will not accept the tiniest inconvenience to not directly fund things like conversion therapy and anti-trans propaganda:

  • Harry Potter
  • Home Depot
  • Chick fil A
  • X
  • Hobby Lobby

All of these things have great, readily available alternatives / competitors accessible to even smaller towns.

I will die on this hill.

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.

You can just say that the government of Texas is being stolen from the people of Texas.

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!
