@ashleyyrain Hoping for the best for your mom!

The US and Israel are bombing hospitals… hospitals. And this is normal now? No one’s even batting an eyelid?

Israel literally levelled every hospital in Gaza and these fuckers are spoken of as allies? Now they’ve reportedly bombed over 30 hospitals in Iran.

The inhumanity.

Fuck anyone who supports these sociopaths.

Ten years ago, Cambridge Analytica used data from Facebook games to tweak UK and US voters and torque world geopolitics.

Today we find out that the company behind Pokémon Go used all your data finding Pikachus to teach autonomous robots how to navigate and take away your jobs.

I'm a software developer and sysadmin who could really use being #fedihired.

What I'd really like to do is Rust, but once you ignore the dubious crypto and AI stuff, there seems to be nothing out there. Prove me wrong with a counterexample!

I've spent decades fixing Enterprise mudballs mostly written in #Perl. If you've got a crufty legacy system that everybody else is too scared to touch, I'm your man. I love fixing stuff like that.

I've also done commerical #Scala, #Python, #C/#C++, and although I don't usually admit it on my CV but these are now Trying Times when everything is on the table, even #PHP (the longest six months of my life).

Perl naturally leads into Unix system administration and infrastructure. I've built and maintained mail clusters, VoIP systems, network monitoring, DNS management platforms, that sort of thing. If it's non-sexy but something which needs to be done, I'm there.

Available immediately, for contract or permie, onsite in Amsterdam/Randstad or remote to anywhere.

Drop me a private mention or mail peter@mooli.net if you have or know of something.

Looks like I got laid off today.

If anyone’s looking for a C++ developer with 5 years of experience, feel free to reach out. I also work with Python, Go, and C.

I’m open to freelance work too - programming and pixel art 🎨

Feel free to DM me 🙂💻

@afreytes Polygon fired a good chunk of their staff last year. I stopped following them after that.

Original for comparison. The original is better.

It's so werid hearing a cover of this song from this account. Usually they do parody songs, they even have that tag in there. But this is just a cover of "Level Up" by Vienna Teng.

@GayDeceiver Phew! Yeah. Glad I didn't need to put on the hip waders to make my way through the sludge.

Man threatening to leave NATO, and invade member states, demands NATO reciprocity in a war he started. 🤡

The Onion couldn't have done a better job.

New documentary on 'vibe coding' drops:

Reminder to those excited about the new Firefly animated show that Adam Baldwin is credited as the creator of the GamerGate hashtag and, in general, for taking part within the whole thing where he repeatedly targetted and doxxed women and LGBTQIA+ people within the games industry.

Not to mention his continued and vocal support of Trump, etc.

Supporting his reappearance in the aninated Firefly show is no different from supporting works by JK Rowling and other right wing creatives that have had a hand in creating the political and societal climate we currently find ourselves trapped in.

In other news, I finished the book "More Everything Forever" by Adam Becker. It's all about the billionaire tech bros drive to seed the universe with humans and the delusional path they are taking us all along. Good read/listen. Just more ressons to not use anything ai.

Oh joy. Two hours of agile related meetings today.

I don't know if I have anymore motivation they can drain from me but I guess I'll find out.

And the animation Oscars go to:

(show me how surprised you are)
🏆 Kpop Demon Hunters for Best Animated Feature

🏆 The Girl Who Cried Pearls for Best Animated Short (Congratz @NFB)

Also, 🏆 Golden won for Best Original Song. Speaking of which, it was sung live during the ceremony in a beautiful performance.

Do you have a Substack newsletter that you wish was NOT a Substack newsletter (for whatever reason)? I’ve just spent about six weeks learning how to overcome all the obstacles they put in the way of leaving and would love to help. Let’s talk.

Because I happen to like this from my current writing WIP:

"If I'm not mistaken, that excuse of a fifth gen Casper TZ-40 sheen jump hauler. The one with the engine pod on the port side that looks like a stiff wind would pop it off with all the duct tape used to keep it on the body. The one with the paint that screams 'I HAVE NOTHING OF VALUE, Pirates!' That cargo hauler."
