@david_chisnall @jerry really scary, but somewhat it makes sense.
@cR0w amen
Truth
The hardest problem in Computer Science is doing your job while your neighbors are being abucted by masked thugs and executed in the street

If this is what you have to carry to attend a protest, that's not a protest. That's a civil war.

If you are going to a protest where shit may get real, hereโ€™s (part) of my med kit I carry to these: 1. Nitrile gloves 2. NAR CAT tourniquets 3. Roller gauze and/or wound packing 4. Chest seals 5. Blister treatments (molefoam, cloth tape) 6. Clean water in a bike squeeze bottle (for eye irrigation) 7. Trauma shears 8. Surgical masks 9. Safety glasses 10. Snacks 11. Tampons and pads 12. P-100 respirator with vapor cartridges 13. Shop towels I also carry a helmet.

You can say "Have a nice day" without any problem, but using the phrase "enjoy the next 24 hours" can sound slightly threatening.
@mttaggart my thoughts exactly
i'm probably going to be told tomorrow that i'm being laid off, so if anyone has a lead on a decent remote embedded software engineering or unix/linux systems job, i've got a resume to send you.

i don't like discussing the specifics of who my past clients have been in public. however, my most recent position was contracting with the kernel team of a major CDN and cloud services provider that i know many people on fedi are also current or former employees of, maintaining their internal linux distribution (an customized Ubuntu downstream) for their custom server platforms, porting forward and cleaning up patchsets to newer versions of the distribution, fixing issues in toolchains and libraries, etc.

i've also done embedded software work for a large variety of devices including medical, cellular technology, and industrial control equipment, in addition to some consumer products. i've done board bringup and BSP development with Yocto/Openembedded, Buildroot, FreeRTOS, etc, on most major SoC and microcontroller families. when doing business logic, I am most comfortable in C and Lua, but fine working with C++ codebases, and can learn to work with other languages if a project needs it.

boosts appreciated.
