I am starting to research accordions. I am really surprised about how many different types there are. I think I want a chromatic button accordion because it’s versatile and the notes are closer together than a piano accordion.

I’m still confused about how many bass buttons I need and a little shocked by the cost, but I would like to purchase and start learning by the end of 2023 or in 2024.

Hey, everyone who follows me who is hacking on somethigna round ActivityPub/fediverse — please reply here and share a link to your app/GitHub/Glitch! Would love to show off all the creativity that's happening right now. (And please boost so your friends can share their projects too.)

Today’s linguistic success was hearing back from a French accordion maker, who replied to a query in French, saying "Votre français est impeccable, pas de problème." Zut alors! 🤣 French Higher in 1989! I know it’s in their interests to make potential customers happy, but I’ll still take that as a win! I’m considering getting a compact chromatic button accordion as major new challenge. Still considering. #Languages #FrenchLanguage #Accordion #ButtonAccordion #ChromaticButtonAccordion #Squeezebox

Hey fellow Hams! My Dad has set a goal of us making (code) contact sometime in the next year. We’re on opposite sides of the US. I have no HF gear or experience to speak of this century besides some WSPR fun. Can anyone guide me to an affordable route to an HF rig that won’t break the bank, the backyard, and my patience but might work to reach contacts that far on good days? #hamradio

mh+, new job 

@markusl

Thank you, Markus! I hope so too! The software team has been really supportive and generous with time and knowledge to get me to where I am today already. I am excited beyond belief!

mh+, new job 

@lopta @PHolder I am 35 but at any age it could be done, although age discrimination is real in general.

I got lucky even though I initially thought I would have to leave my company because I don’t currently have an engineering degree but I was able to work on projects after work on their team to gain more experience. I like my current job, but I definitely wanted to become a developer so if you want it, I say at least give pivoting a try!

mh+, new job 

@zleap @PHolder thank you, I am glad to be at the starting line with my software dev career!

@rasterweb i will make disgusting AI food as long as the AI doesn’t generate and entire life story that I have to scroll through before I get to the recipe!

mh+, new job 

I just got and accepted an offer to become a junior embedded software engineer! It took family, mentors at my company, people on Twitter when I belonged there and also many kind people on Mastodon.

@PHolder, I specifically was able to draw on the unit testing discussion and my attempts at C programming from advent of code during our interview. I can’t thank you enough!

Are folks really pressuring independent artists, authors, etc., not to promote their work here?

Do you also picket your local independent cafe and mom and pop stores? What happens if you succeed in shutting them down? That’s right, you end up with a McDonald’s in their place.

Please learn to separate capitalists from folks trying to survive under capitalism. Independent people trying to pay their rent isn’t advertising, it’s existing. What Coca-Cola does is advertising.

Thoughts about RasPi and the fediverse, long 

@Fullnihilism This stuff is mostly happening in the #fediblock hashtag. But if an instance is blocked, the mod team's toots about the actions they've taken don't federate, so the other mods/admins don't know.

I think there needs to be some kind of out-of-band way for admins/mods to talk, whether that's Matrix or a private instance everyone has alts on or something like that. But it seems clear that admins/mods need to talk, even if their instances are mutually blocked.

Here's the pi situation: pinafore.social/statuses/10947
