xpost from linkedin. Would appreciate a signal boost, especially in the EU. Hoping to find a workplace that is as furry friendly as VRChat was.

I'm looking for a new role as a result of the layoffs.

About me:
💼 I’m looking for infosec leadership roles.
🌎 I’m open to roles in Ireland.
⭐ I previously worked at VRChat as the lead for their security team.

If you hear of opportunities that you think are worth looking into please send me a message! 🙏

"You get more conservative when you get older" only really worked for the generations that got RICHER as they got older.

The real truth was always just "You get more selfish the more money you have".

get it now on steam https://store.steampowered.com/app/1325260 or itch https://eniko.itch.io/kitsunetails

we're a small underfunded team with a majority queer developers, and while we're punching way above our weight class we need the support of our community if this game is going to be a success. please boost this post, and if you can afford it buy it on steam and leave a positive review on the first day (the text doesn't matter, only the thumbs up, so "i like gay fops" is totally valid as a review)

i also want to prove fedi is powerful enough to make an indie game succeed, so even if you're not personally that into the game, please boost this post? 🙏

Fediverse, ich brauche eure Hilfe! Bald wird meine Website an den Start gehen, die das Ziel verfolgt, Spenden für die Open Medicine Foundation zu sammeln, die an ME/CFS forscht. Ich bin selbst seit 08/2023 schwer an ME/CFS erkrankt und überwiegend bettlägerig. Um die Website, die auch über die Krankheit aufklärt, weit zu streuen, suche ich nach Journalist:innen, die bereit wären, etwas zu diesem Thema zu schreiben und die Website dabei aufzugreifen. Bitte teilen!

I just realized a good argument against computer ads.

Contrary to regular ads, it is actually using your resources (your power, time on the CPU you bought, etc)

So, shouldn't ad companies paying you money for displaying their ads? Like they pay billboard owners or news paper owners, etc.

So until then, using ad block is just preventing theft.

Bock, die wegen zu geringer Anstrengungen beim zu verklagen, aber keine Ahnung, wie?

Bock, und Konsorten in den 🍑 zu treten, aber kein Geld für ne Anwältin?

Gar kein Problem - schließ Dich einfach als Nebenkläger*in der von @germanwatch an, die sie zusammen mit @greenpeace_de und Einzelkläger*innen, u.a. mir - und Dir? - beim Bundesverfassungsgericht einreichen!

Hier geht´s lang:

A post on Twitter from user rahaeli (@rahaeli) that reads, "Sometimes people ask me how I know all the random shit I know (with varying levels of politeness and belief in it's veracity) and all I got is 'I have ADHD, an internet connection, really good research skills, and zero self-regulatory mechanisms'"

yr favorite mascot said trans rights.

A tweet from Chiitan, the 0-year old fairy baby otter mascot tweets "Yes! Transgender people are my precious family and I love them with the bottom of my heart.

"Transgender people are less accepted in Japane than in the US, and people may look strange when they declare their identity, but I don't mind. It's a small thing like people saying bad things about Chiitan, so it's not an issue. It's far more important that transgender people all over the world 'are able to enjoy life peacefully being themselves, as a matter of course.'

"I will continue to send out messages to protect the rights of trans people. Please lend your support to Chiitan. Your voices give me energy. I love you all. Please continue to be by my side."

Below this is a picture of the mascot, wielding a giant soft-looking sword and shield.

One of the reasons I appreciate and respect trans people, is that understanding yourself at that level, and choosing to assert your identity in that way, is punk (as in rock) as fuck.

I suspect this might be what triggers some bigots so easily too. They could never do so for themselves in their own lives.

Why doesn't technology acknowledge our existence? Programmers of the world, we want answers!



Comic strip with four panels. In the first panel, Linguist is sitting at a desk with a laptop, muttering "Hmm... insert first and last name”. In the next panel, she is happily typing on the laptop, saying "Easy peasy lemon squeezy!". In the third panel, a close-up of a computer screen displays the error message: "Φ, ñ, ü, ç, invalid. Please insert real characters only”. In the last panel, Linguist looks sad and utters: "Are you saying... I'm... not... real?". Watermark: Linguist Gone Foreign. Form on the U.S. Customs and Border Protection website, asking for family name. The entry field is highlighted, and below it in red text, it says "Family Name contains invalid characters."

Verstehe ich das richtig? Die Daten aus der #Stadtradeln APP werden über https://www.radverkehr-in-deutschland.de dann an Kommunen etc. verkauft?

Und dann auch noch von "Datenspendenden" reden?

Wenn's um das Gemeinwohl gehen würde, dann sollten diese Daten kostenlos verfügbar sein, schließlich werden die Eingangsdaten von allen Teilnehmenden gespendet.

speaking of propagators, this just showed up on the HN front page https://www.orionreed.com/posts/scoped-propagators

very cool!

new blog post: functional reactive user interfaces with propagators

https://dthompson.us/posts/functional-reactive-user-interfaces-with-propagators.html

a fun little experiment in declarative ui that doesn't do the react virtual dom thing.

@dthompson @daviwil I remember Sussmann saying the same in *We Really Don't Know How to Compute*, that the syntax he used for propagators is not necessarily final and that we should find a more expressive way to represent them

Personally I think visual graphs show a lot of promise in this regard, since they seem like a pretty nearly 1:1 mapping, e.g.: https://holograph-1.vercel.app/

Vielleicht können CDU/CSU/FDP/SPD/Grüne ja aus Frankreich die Idee abgucken, dass man Wahlen gewinnen kann, wenn man entschieden GEGEN Rechtsextreme auftritt?

(Noch krasser: In dem sie auch noch darauf verzichten, die rassistische Politik einfach selbst zu erledigen?)

I wonder: Does anyone want to write their own browser engine? In your choice of language/framework?

Because I'm happy to mentor! I've found some tricks in my own attempts.

Since I see plenty of thirst for more options...

Dear and Fedi friends, I hope I can ask you all a question. I am a researching a good publishing plan.

is essential, and I wonder what the modern preferred format for blind readers of self-published or indie novels is.

Additionally, what would your advice be on making more accessible to people who are blind when self-publishing a novel?

Please boost for reach.
