Me: Awwww hey little guy, what pretty colorful feathers you have. Hope your happy little fella

Stranger: Ewwww, pigeons are just rats with wings.

Me: I know, right, rats are so adorable too!

I would 1000% watch a Slothra vs Godzilla movie.

One of the biggest failings of society is they tend to only believe the emotions you show and ignore when you explain, explicitly, how you feel.

I know you two have shown a particular interest/curiosity in remaining up to date about our migration/upgrade process so just wanted to tag you. Let me know if you want me to tag you on future updates or not, no intent to spam.

Just to Update #QOTO our team is still working on upgrades, its a multi stage process. We currently have 3 versions prepared with various new features (remember we have tons of features mastodon doesn't have, not even glitch).

The migration that was supposed to happen on Monday got delayed due to some last minute sanity checks not passing. We have since fixed that.

So probably early next week the actual migration will be attempted again, then over the following days there should be ~3 upgrades (may all happen at once) to version bumps using code from QOTO repeat and all the stuff we worked on the past year or so.

After that you should see more regular updates form us... so lots and lots of progress on the dev side, a bit of a backlog on the migration/upgrade side... but we are getting there!

I am truly amazed at the number of applicants I have seen off of this single post. And almost all are well suited candidates worth my time to review. I am astonished that a single post on the fedi is more effective than actually hiring a recruiter. Thank you everyone for the boosts and applications.

While many applicants have made it through and are currently being hired because we have so many positions we have quite a few still available for every level from sr to jr, and both data scientists and programmers. So please keep boosting, sharing, and applying if anyone is interested.

Just a reminder this is 100% remote, no fixed hours, will pay market rates for position. I will be your direct boss and hiring manager (also owner, founder, and inventor of the tech).

What is your favorite non-nonsensical compass direction?

Iron is surprisingly lethal for such a common metal. Takes about 8 to 10 grams to kill a full grown adult.

It was a very very long weekend preparing Yubikeys with pgp keys.

Bodily autonomy is sacred. That means I beleive all drugs should be legal without a prescription, abortions legal, and no one should ever be forced to take a vaccine, drug or wear a mask.

Oh shit it gets better.. the cop goes "Sir, put your hands behind your back" again and the guy then goes "Dont sir me, You're sir!" and the cop goes "yea exactly" and the other guy goes "wait...." .... lolololol

Watching a cop video and the cop goes "put your hands behind your back".. and the guy goes "fuck you, you know who I am, you put your hands behind your back!"... oh this is going to be goooooood.

While I know there are plenty of examples of land, particularly historically, being bought and sold to other countries. Like Alaska was bought from Russia, the US Virgin Islands from the Dutch, etc. But is there any examples, particularly in semi-modern history, of an **individual** buying sovereignty over a piece of land from another nation? I mean why should the country care who they sell to as long as they get the money.

I figure the hard part would be defending the land as a single owner. Of course in practice im not sure countries sell land all to often these days.

2SLGBTQI+ ... literally just saw that. I was going to be mad thinking they left someone out but thankfully they added that +. Well played guys, well played.
