@coolboymew It’s ok. All’s well that ends well, as they say.

@coolboymew I couldn’t find you in searches. I could find (with some effort) everybody else at SPW, except you, for some reason. Until today, that is.

"Hertfordshire sweet shop owner Phyllis Arrandale originally bought a computer to help out with her accounts, but was so impressed with it that she began programming software of her own. Now, she is attempting to make a printed circuit board, with the ultimate aim of making her own computer from scratch."

@vaartis What are you referring to as a remaster of Persona 5? Persona 5 Royal? In my opinion it’s just the same game, but with additional content. Or more like the complete version of the original game.

Also, there’s Persona 4 Golden.

@che5hire The lightest fedi server I know of is probably snac2 (codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2), but you may find it too lightweight.

@vaartis I hope he really wanted to kill himself and thought that was a fun way to go, because otherwise he would be nothing but another Darwin Award nominee.

@dan That’s what my likes usually mean, to be honest. Or: “I’ve read your post and have nothing to add.” Sometimes I like posts in order to avoid giving the impression that I’m mad at the other person. In general, though, I’d rather take the time to reply, because that’s what I personally prefer when it comes to my own posts.

@olives Some anime OP/ED feature foreign bands, such as Ergo Proxy (Radiohead), Gunslinger Girl (The Delgados) and Higashi no Eden (Oasis).

@thankfulmachine As Douglas Adams put it: “Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works. Anything that’s invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it. Anything invented after you’re thirty-five is against the natural order of things.”

Dear @freemo, meet my friend @Computer:

@camelliakyoto Did they close Kiyomizu-dera for you? I was there in 2019 and it wasn’t nearly as empty. Much the opposite, actually.

Would people from fedi be down to play on an F-Zero 99 lobby? Maybe there's enough players here to actually fill a decent chunk of it?

@eSheep I’d be down on the weekends, even though I have never, ever played multiplayer games (or F-Zero 99 in particular).

@sullybiker I’m in a similar situation, so I can relate. Even when you don’t get the short end of the stick, it’s still tiresome. I had to get the whole month as vacation last December for the same reason (i.e., I had so many appointments that it sort of made sense to skip work altogether instead of mixing things up).

Still, I’m very lucky with how everything’s being turning out.

My company has just announced that there will be a round of layoffs soon. They just laid off a bunch of C-levels. They're giving us the opportunity to "opt in" to "workforce reduction" with a promise of three months severance.

It's been pretty tumultuous here, lately, to be honest, and I'm considering it.

But, I've got a wife and four kids to take care of, and I've never willingly left a job when I didn't have another one already lined up. And we've got good benefits (healthcare and dental) right now, so I really don't want to give that up.

Maybe if I had something lined up with similar pay and benefits, I could do it.

So, I'm looking for any recommendations. I'm a #PHP developer (of roughly twenty years), who has been doing a lot of #golang for the past year, and I've gotten very proficient at that as well.

I'm looking for a US-based company, and a Principal/Staff/Senior Developer role.

Anybody have any good leads? My website is at https://danielrayjones.com, and I can be emailed at dan@danielrayjones.com.

👣THE PHILOSOPHER'S BLOSSOMS🌸

The Path of Philosophy runs between Nanzen-ji and Ginkaku-ji.
It came to prominence after the philosophers and Kyōto University professors Nishida Kitarō (西田幾多郎 1870-1945) and Tanabe Hajime (田辺元 1885-1962) used the trail as an exercise route.

@emenavarro Muchas gracias por recordarme esta canción, Eme. Hacía años que no la escuchaba.
