I was laid off in August, so I'm looking for software development work, preferably remote, otherwise in the Twin Cities. I have 15 years' experience doing systems and back-end programming in C, C++, and Golang. I know a number of other languages, including Python and Rust, and I'll learn what I don't know. I have experience in software design and architecture, and in performance optimization.

If you know of anyone looking for anything like that, let me know. Resume available on request.

People ask why Pixelfed and Loops aren't merged.

Pixelfed and Loops solve different problems.

Pixelfed: chronological, photo-centric, algorithm-free.

Loops: algorithmic video discovery via For You feeds.

Forcing a Reels feed into Pixelfed would compromise both products, you can't build engaging short video feeds without algorithms.

Real community-driven development means listening — and you've spoken: keep Pixelfed pure and let Loops lead the short video revolution ✨

#Viral #video of crying Ukrainian #soldier sent to front lines is #fake

#Videos of a #crying #Ukrainian #conscript have flooded #European #SocialMedia networks, particularly in #Germany and #Hungary, this week.

The clip, however, appears to be created with help from Sora, #OpenAI's new tool.

Pretty excited by @bonfire, especially by the Open Science flavor (see https://openscience.network). The project in general also seems to be well thought out, in terms of roadmap or governance (putting maintenance first in the roadmap and making it strongly visible = 👏).

Congrats to the team for the release and good luck for the next steps!

(Edit: there's Ursula K. Le Guin in the crowdfunding campaign trailer, also, so you definitely should watch it)

For nine months, Sky News’ Data and Forensics team has been investigating whether X’s algorithm amplifies right-wing and extreme content.

It does.
