Hey Amiga fans of the fediverse: would anyone be interested in buying a rare Amiga OS 4.0 developer prerelease disc? Hoping to find someone who'd really appreciate it before just posting it on eBay.

Firefox and Mozilla ignoring the core audience's desire to keep the browser free from LLM is not good news. Ignoring your biggest fans always ends up costing you. I'm just saying.

People are sick of this LLM and privacy issues. Please stop adding this nonsense to everything

Hey there, looks like #KeePassXC is relevant enough that #AI #slop security foo companies now target our keywords on Google mobile search. What do you think would happen if suddenly lots of people started clicking those ads without actually buying anything?!

Unfortunately, I have to look for a new job.

I'm an #iOS and #macOS #software #developer, experienced in #UIKit, #AppKit, #ObjectiveC, #Swift and #SwiftUI, have worked with the #Parse framework as well as #Realm / #MongoDB and the whole toolchain around it. I have been working in software development for about 30 years and am looking for a remote position (permanent role, preferably in an AT/DE startup).

So if you know someone who knows someone. Thanks for sharing.

She proudly elevates her father's legacy in promoting justice for Palestine, and calls upon everyone to keep that legacy alive.

Have you seen the Luc Besson movie, The Fifth Element ?

A discussion with friends last night centered around age vs exposure to the movie, so I'm posting a poll to gather data unscientifically.

Please boost for exposure,
