I am middle-aged old man. Forever. From the wood comes that mess that is Pinocchio.

I’m genuinely intrigued by #mistralai both the company and its models and I want to dive deeper into them. However, one frustration I keep encountering is that whenever I advocate for Mistral within the companies I collaborate with, I’m met with pushback. The common response is that Mistral is still far behind SOTA models from #claude and also lags behind newer models from #DeepSeek #Zhipu, and #Minimax. C More info/idea etc? #AI #EUrope #opensource @MistralAI @BuyFromEU

Today I am stepping down from my role as the CEO of #Mastodon. Though this has been in the works for a while, I can't say I've fully processed how I feel about it. There is a bittersweet part to it, and I think I will miss it, but it also felt necessary. It feels like a goodbye, but it isn't—I intend to stay on and continue to advise the new leadership and contribute, because Mastodon—and the fediverse—is one of the very few beacons of hope for a better web.

I’m intrigued by @pixelfed but I’m a bit ignorant about two things I’d like to understand:

How can I use it with @Mastodon?
Is there a way to keep using #Instagram too? (It’s my connection to a lot of younger friends.)

Thanks for the help!

I’m genuinely shocked by the difference in "addiction" between commercial social networks and @Mastodon I’ve encouraged friends and colleagues to try it—just to experience firsthand the relentless push we’re all subjected to, whether we’re adults or teens. The contrast... 😱 #fediverse #fediverso #socialmedia #education

I'm just running my own #Mastodon instance here, so I don't have a ton of reach.

I'd love it if any of you who are willing would boost/quote this post.

My current SRE role is coming to an end, and the current market is scary.

The most current project was getting 3 line-of-business applications (for a national retailer!) moved to AWS, with some infra design, and lots of Terraform and Ansible.

I've got some Python chops, too.

I'm looking for a new role, remote preferred, or local to the PDX area.
