I've now been unemployed for 10 months with almost no interest from employers. I have 30 years of IT experience:

UNIX Hardware Engineer for DEC
Linux Support
UNIX Support for 100+ Statisticians
IT Security (InfoSec, back in the day)
WordPress Plugin Support
Building websites with WordPress

If you know of anyone or any companies hiring, I would love to know. Thanks!!!

US would be great, but I am open to any remote work from around the world.

“Benjamin Netanyahu, who is wanted by the ICC for war crimes and crimes against humanity, is currently flying to the US to meet with Donald Trump.

ICC member states are obligated to cooperate fully with the court, including in the arrest and surrender of individuals sought by the court where those individuals are on their territory. Crucially, that includes airspace.

According to flight tracking data, Netanyahu's "Wing of Zion" plane has today passed through the airspace of Greece, Italy, and France - all signatories to the ICC.

The governments of these countries need to explain why they have permitted a wanted war criminal to pass through their airspace.”

Feeling like shit, but trying to look cut…ish

"The idea that 'music' is not just 'songs by other people', but is rather the name we should give to something that we are all exploring, experiencing, composing, listening to and dancing to together, some kind of collaborative, relational effort involving billions of people striving for joy, that is something I can get behind."

AI Music As Walmart As Utopia

In Utopia as Replication, Fredric Jameson makes a spicy argument for looking at Walmart as a utopia. It is a pretty readable essay as far as Jameson goes.

#WritersCoffeeClub 3Feb—Do you agree with Thomas Mann: “A writer is a person for whom writing is more difficult than it is for other people.”

That question has REALLY strong "is this the right room for an argument?" energy.

FediDB Community Advisor, a new service we're building for fedi admins to subscribe to moderation advisories from other server admins.

We're building this into Pixelfed and Loops, but any fediverse software will be able to use this!

We use a clever combination of double blind lookups and http signatures, using a pubsub feed.

More details soon.

Fedi Devs can send an email to hello at pixelfed dot org for early access.

🚨 Unsere Recherche zeigt: Deepfake-Videos und Fake News verändern politische Meinungen!

one of the easiest things to do for cis men to support trans people is wear nail polish.

It sounds kind of silly but it’s true; like pronouns in your bio this creates a cover not just so trans people don’t have to out themselves (if they don’t want to)

it normalises a very modest form of gender non conformity

it communcates certain a level of safety

and if there’s people that get upset about it, a cis guy is in a much better position to deal with that than a trans or queer person is. Plus we find out who the fuckheads are that we need to avoid.

Auch wenn wir schreiben „Migration ist nicht das Problem“ legen wir wieder Fokus auf den Begriff „Migration“.

Vielleicht müssen wir umgekehrt formulieren: „Wir haben viele Probleme von Klima bis Wohnen. Merz hat keine einzige Lösung und nur ein Thema“
