Hey gang, I really need a job. UK, remote, something to do with computers.

I've been doing all sorts of software plumbing for a decade now, I can speak C, Java, PHP, Python, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, even a bit of Assembly for certain architectures in a pinch.

I might not be extremely specialized in any one area but you bet I can solve that one nagging problem you're not sure what specialist you need for. I've done frontend, backend, embedded, everything.

Please boost!

NEW: X has started rolling out it's end-to-end encrypted chat for all users.

I was invited to start using it yesterday, so I asked a couple of experts if users should trust it. The answer: no, nobody should trust it at this point.

There are several reasons why, which they explained to me here.

I am scared that Enshitification is looming

@andypiper right? It's almost as if Google bungs Apple 20 Billion a year.

Did you see this post?

The lapsus$ guys are taking credit for the Jaguar Land Rover thing, speed run to see how many times they can get v&'d in 5 years.

@inlovewithpda @morgant @frameworkcomputer I’ve not use newton in forever (was always a Palm user). This seems satisfactory. Einstein is I assume a static compile. This is on Bazzite, just running the monolithic binary with the ROM in the same directory.

the PDP-11 boot ROM: each bit of the 32×16-bit memory being implemented by the presence or absence of a diode. tangible (extremely low-density) memory.
