I'm considering leaving my tech job for something with less <tech giant> and Oil&Gas.. but I don't know if I'm looking in the right places.

I'd like to feel that I am making this blue projectile a better place before it slams into one of its celestial siblings.

Am taking suggestions.

I like to make stuff - not only new techy things, but also more or less useless low-tech gadgets.

I also like gardening, but don't know if I would so if I had one.

I got a lovely gift today.
From a Mastodon friend who received one of my towels. A custom knitted resistance hat!
I can hardly wait to wear it to Saturday's protest.
I love this community. It really is as fabulous as I think it is.
I wish my photo was better but I don't have good light in the house in the evening.
It is beautifully perfect.

Me: I know everybody's been bitching about RAM prices lately, but all I need is 64GiB DDR5 ECC. Babytown frolics. Not a big deal if the price doubled or whatever.

Every vendor: that'll be $900

Me: WHAT. Well thank God the other server is several years older and just needs DDR4 ECC, I'm sure *that* will be more reas--

Every vendor: $900.

Me: F U C K I N G . W H A T ? ! ‽

Well, there goes any reason to own a framework! Might consider replacing my laptop before RAM is 1000$/1GiB...

This week the U.S. and Israel launched an illegal war on Iran. The current death toll exceeds 555 Iranians and six U.S. soldiers.

Beneath the convoluted justifications, one truth is clear: Christian nationalism and open hatred of Muslims are driving rhetoric from Trump’s cabinet, MAGA members of Congress, and their allies—while corporate media looks away. If you thought post-9/11 hysteria was the worst of it, we are about to surpass it.

The real reason Trump posted he wanted to send a hospital ship to Greenland, most likely is the fact that Danish Joint Arctic Command just evacuated a US Navy Sailor from a US submarine near Greenland, because the sailor was in need of acute medical attention.

Trump might have been asked to thank Denmark for this important help, but instead Trump came up with this weird distraction to hand to Fox News that the US is the one helping Denmark with a hospital ship, as if we did not have hospitals.
