I am working myself through the awesomeness that is the blog of Bartosz Ciechanowski https://ciechanow.ski/archives/

If you haven't heard of it yet, I encourage you to pick a topic you are curious about and enjoy.

Rant about the world of social media and marketing:

My latest (very recent) shock was receiving an email from a digital painting software company (I can't name them) asking me my price to switch my entire workflow to their proprietary product and announce it on my channels.

Of course I refused.

We'll be shutting the #nushell survey down later today. If you haven't responded, yet, there's still time to get your responses in.

Sadly my biggest sponsor couldn't renew my contract for budget reasons, so I'm back to making much less than market rate for my skills. If you (or your company) like what I'm doing as @bevy's Project Lead, please consider sponsoring me!

Don't like all these frames in @kde's QtWidget apps? Me neither, so here is my proposal to remove them in #Plasma6 😎
