After the success of the router, I can tell I'm becoming a NixOS person and I'm not sure how I feel about that 🙈

Always happier around pride, as much as it disappoints me how so many queers crave assimilationism to the point of joining our oppressors. We will never truly be free under capitalism. We will always be given half measures while described as too costly to be treated equally. If you cared about your trans siblings, you wouldn't vote right wing. If you are trans and do so, there's some lessons you should learn from history. Selling out saves no one - they will still hate you.

Sinjo,

@theyfemme never understood gay tories. requires a level of cognitive dissonance I just can't wrap my head around

Started my weekend off with an absolute biff move 🙈

Packaged something up to send for repair, sealed the box, then looked down at the table and saw the return slip that was meant to be inside the box 🤦🏻‍♂️

Trying out Moshidon on my phone as a potential Tusky replacement.

I really like how it can fetch all replies to a post so you aren't left with half the conversation (same for viewing a profile that hasn't been federated to your server yet) :mastodance:

Sinjo,

@toast003 nooooooo :( did you get an error of any kind? it worked first time when I tried it

Sinjo,

@toast003 huh, not sure. might be worth a try opening it in an external browser rather than the in-app one

Sinjo,

Okay, I'm a convert to . So far I love:

  • Fetching all replies
  • Fetching posts from a profile that hasn't been federated to your server yet
  • Ability to add another instance's local timeline as a separate feed (it was between here and Hachyderm for me, now I can have both local feeds)

Sinjo,

@ShadowJonathan filling in "room number" and nothing else just to confuse people

Sinjo, to random

absolutely baffled at the level of incompetence involved in failing to send a single letter for five months

Sinjo,

managed to extract an email address from them after an hour on hold, and have sent a Very Strongly Worded Letter (strongly worded for a brit at least)

Does anyone know of a trustworthy Android auto-redial app?

The healthcare system in the UK has reached the point where this is basically necessary (unless you have an hour to kill pressing the call button manually).

I'm a bit worried about using some sketchy app to do this though.

The biggest lie perpetuated by FAANG recruiter marketing is that they're the only game in town for serious software and systems engineering.

Seeing people get so hung up on having those brands somewhere in their career is just baffling to me.

Sinjo,

@theyfemme I'm fully willing to accept that I've been fortunate along the way, but I think a lot of engineers massively overvalue the effect you're describing

Sinjo,

@theyfemme I'll agree that there are likely a bunch of hiring managers whose minds have been poisoned by the same effect

Sinjo,

@theyfemme Right, that one I've seen. "Well we should at least talk to them, they worked at <BigCo>"

ShadowJonathan, to random

if someone is going to decide to read subtext into my words to better their case or their position against me, then i do not want to work with them anymore, simple as that

its seriously not going to be much simpler; you put words in my mouth = i leave

i will explain and elaborate what i meant, i will be straightforward and as direct as i can, i want my intention to be known

but if you're going to do that for me, without my best interest, im fucking gone

Sinjo,

@ShadowJonathan (if it's the open source email you're referencing) from what I've heard from friends maintaining heavily used open source projects, you need a heavy dose of "you aren't paying me to care about your schedule"

I find it funny when I see someone who's still anti-systemd in the wild, especially when they're using some niche-ass distro to avoid it

Love that for them

Sinjo, (edited ) to gaming

Grabbed Spider-Man in the Steam sale and I'm so glad it finally came to PC. I can fully see why people loved it when it came out!

Sinjo,

@JigsawPieces Ah yeah that's the version they brought to PC too. Good stuff!

Sinjo, (edited ) to coffee

excited to brew :verified_coffee: :blobcateyes:

Sinjo,

lmao I messed up the emojis in this and only noticed hours later

Sinjo, to random

genuinely thought it was saturday when I woke up and damn my body is not ready for a working day today

Sinjo,

@schnittchen as it should

Sinjo, to random

building a rust project with over a thousand dependencies and i'm gonna need apple to release m3 for this

StellaFoxxie, to random

yay! it's finished!

this is part of a project to give an old pair of 3M ear protectors headphone drivers to make them into passive noise canceling headphones

now i just need to wire them up :blobcat_flop_woozy:

another angle of the 3d printed spacer and ear protector piece. the 3d printed part fits snugly into the curved tapered edges of the ear protector part

Sinjo,

@StellaFoxxie Oh those are cool! A bunch of us used to wear those ear protectors at my last job when the office was too loud. Turning them into headphones is genius!
