Inaccurate. Not #washable

🇷🇺 Navalny’s death, which comes nearly two years to the day after Russia invaded Ukraine and ahead of sham elections in March, is a reminder that Putin’s regime is waging a war on two fronts — externally against Ukrainian citizens and internally against its own.

"People upgrade their phones every 3 years"
Even if, theoretically, right now I had cash to spare I see zero incentive to get a newer phone.

The only reason I see for "upgrading phone every 3 years" is planned obsolesce — not really my case as I barely touch my phone and it doesn't even have prominent scratches, the battery has just started degrading, but it still at 95% of its original capacity, and this phone was futureproof to begin with — I have Poco X3 Pro, the last column, 256 Gb storage 8 Gb RAM version.
Zero new features in 2 years, all specs at ~ the same!

And I'm not even comparing to newer Poco X Pro models, as you can see in the second table, X5 lost the SD card slot and did NOT get spacier internal storage options, X6 Pro did get more storage, but lost the headphone jack. In anything, they only got worse!

And flagships… they have nicer screens. They have better camera, usually some "AI" shit — completely irrelevant to me. But they never have headphone jack and they cost five times more — what the fuck for?

After being with Mozilla for a little over 5 years, I've been laid off today, alongside a group of some of my favorite people. So, I'm on the job market! I've got ~8 years #iOS, #Swift, and #ObjC under my belt, working on everything from libraries all the way through full user-facing features. So, I'm #opentowork. Remote (US), working out of the Chicagoland area. Boosts would be much appreciated!

The BBC is extending their Mastodon instance hosting trial, citing the first 6 months has been a positive experience.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for work! I have ~7.5 years experience working on iOS apps, both Objective-C and modern Swift.

I’m based in the Netherlands and would be looking for a fully-remote position.

Boosts appreciated!

Everyone wants to help clean the heat pump filters...for some reason.

And I only have one cat. Even neighbor cat came by to help.

Actively working and looking for a new gig since my workplace is making another major push away from hybrid work to in-office. Figured I’d drop a casual post to see if anyone comes across something! Pref fully remote.

Software dev for about 6 years, mostly web applications, always full-stack. Primarily work with c# and dotnet, but at home I primarily use C/Python for desktop applications + game dev engine tinkering.

I don’t need much more than a shell, text editor, and browser. I get up and running with new languages and frameworks quickly, so switching around doesn't bother me.

I reference WCAG often, use NVDA/Lighthouse to assess my application's usability, and try to share what I know with my peers at appropriate times.

Boosts are welcome!

I have found infrared codes to control everything in my audio playback rack. I'm thinking of implementing a web interface to control all this equipment.
Can anyone recommend an infrared transmitter that I could plug into my PowerPC MacMini running Linux and that would work from a ~2 metre distance? Probably something with USB interface — it doesn't really have other ports but USB and FireWire.

I hate computers

Goddamit! There is #WebP support in imv in mah Void! Sound the alarm! 🚨
See the President to the bunker, bring in the tactical team, commence the threat elimination operation!
But how did it get in?! It doesn't even depend on anything suspicious!

I got let go of my current job; our management was suffering dysfunction.

(posted before but accidentally deleted)

I am looking for another.

I am a senior software engineer, mostly backend, with a decade and a half of experience. I know Go, Python, C, C++, and Rust. I have some Docker and Terraform experience. I have low-level Linux and BSD internals knowledge as well. I have other knowledge too, like OpenLDAP, Xen, KVM, all sorts of things. I can pick up just about anything.

My resume is here: https://elizafox.space/stuff/Resume.pdf
