After sending in piles of documentation and months of waiting, the 🇦🇺 Australian Computer Society's 🇦🇺 ICT Skills Assessment has OFFICIALLY deemed my skills "to be suitable for migration under ANZCO code 135199 ICT managers nec." 🥳🥳

MEANING I could potentially apply for a permanent Skilled Nominated Visa (190) for Australia without having to be sponsored by an employer!! 🐨🦘🇦🇺🏝

Now let's see if I actually like the place 😅

@Gina lol you're going to Australia to see if you want to move there from NL and I'm going to NL to see if I want to move there from Canada 😂

Some photos from my first day in London!

Photo of the front of the museum with the camera looking upwards at the intricate adornments that line the top of a set of pillars
Photo of a London tube station with a train waiting at the platform.
Photo of the great court in the British Museum.

Why is the #Apple Podcasts app so fucking bad? It has such a convoluted menu structure, it’s ridiculous.

@btp @kev I would give Overcast a shot. It has been super solid since the moment I started using it. Plus it'll sync your sources using iCloud if you let it :D

What the heck is the point of using Pocket if half the articles are going to be shown on the original website anyway??

@joel I chose violence, not joy ;)

My new response when people ask me why it takes so long for me to respond:

Life, uh...gets in the way 👍

brandon,
@brandon@fosstodon.org avatar

@vascorsd 😂 That's a good one! If the person responds "for X days/months/years?!"

At that point you might as well respond "Sore stomach, sorry" or even "um...that's personal wtf"

That feeling when it's possible that inclusion might be going a little too far.

@brandon@fosstodon.org avatar

@saramg I've seen this when the post is translated from another language and by default the term used for the job posting is gendered in the source language

Always very suspicious of folks who have photos of people that are AI generated instead of some avatar or artful design...I can't explain it very well

brandon,
@brandon@fosstodon.org avatar

@simon I think those are good alternatives. I'm not here to police anyone, of course :P People can do what they want.

It's likely a survivor bias but I see a lot of cases where it was some fake profile person who caused a kerfuffle on our instance

brandon,
@brandon@fosstodon.org avatar

@simon Yeah basically one of those. I wouldn't block anyone like that, just gives me pause :P

Welp, the Joycon drift has hit us and hit us hard now.

The hall sensor joysticks are in the mail and should be arriving today. Excited to put those on AND replace the housing of the controllers with these badass ones:

@Gina I've been going the completionist route in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom these days, just finished the depths map today :D

How about you?

brandon,
@brandon@fosstodon.org avatar

@Gina Yeah it was quite the slog! It took me like a week after beating the final boss :P

I wanted to start completionist-ing the depths so that I could end it off above ground. But first, I gotta beat all the underground bosses for those sweet sweet rare items :D

There are horsies in the depths though! (Nowhere near as cute as the Hylian horses though)
