Waiting for someone to make an artisanal search engine that only indexes manually verified websites written by humans. Farm-to-table organic search results, handmade with 100% certified human creativity, like your grandparents told you about.

For those types interested, I went for a completely no-code solution for where content is king and the client can do their own updates.

If you've noticed Mastodon.social being offline a few evenings this week, it was actually under DDOS those nights. When I asked, I was told the best way to help with Mastosoc's scaling and resiliency-under-pressure issues would be to help them fill this open job posting for a devops position with Mastodon gGMBH:

jobs.ashbyhq.com/mastodon/290f

If you know anyone who might be qualified for this position, pass it on!

@freemo David Byrne, with Philip Glass, once wrote a song about a refrigerator (Songs from Liquid Days) - you could ask them.

This is so distressing. Why was this obviously very ill man not transferred to a mental hospital? Disgraceful and wrong that he was kept in prison and took his own life irishexaminer.com/news/munster

@sinabhfuil there are certainly some tough questions that need to be asked here. Not only did the prison service neglect their duty of care, they must have failed abjectly to address access to means for a person clearly known to be suicidal.

@davoloid fair point Dave. At least it wasn’t meant to be present-day. One of my fave “Irish” films is by the English director Ken Loach: The Wind That Shakes The Barley.

Finally someone else shares my views about The Banshees.

“It's as if someone fed every single cartoonish Irish stereotype into an AI website and said: 'Write a film about Ireland in the 1920s.'”

Watch why Sweden clears cycle and walk ways before roads

For gender equality

And because ‘Three times as many people are injured while walking in icy conditions in Sweden than while driving. And the cost of those injuries far exceeds the cost of snow clearance.’
