I gotta find a new job. Every time I get into a good online convo my boss is all “scalpel”

I guess that is a way to make a company profitable. Outsource all your data and software engineers.

Tell a congress if you see one.

on the bright side… at least dry january is over

1. Create Bluesky bots to ping and repost information from government accounts. 2. Aggregate those bots into a starter pack. 3. Create a more useful collection of government information without rewarding Musk.

Very windy in the West San Fernando Valley, sounds like a hurricane

I very much like Linux, but without fail anytime I see someone trying to "switch to Linux" I see a post in a few days saying "I updated my jinglehopper and now my beebeehams stopped working, any ideas?"

Goes without saying, leaving one’s country ain’t ever easy. Double that if it is not your native language.

Gird your loins.
