@metawish Yup - love to see it! :D
Only wishing they actually scanned the QR codes for proper verification. :(
Whoa. The cafe I'm at just asked for my vaccination certificate. I've been coming here on and off for months and this is the first time!
@obsolete29 @arh @jxself Where are you hosting the files then?
@aral looking forward to it 💕
Tattoo, needle
@mathilde that looks scary 😱
“Checking my Mastodon feed lately causes me to yawn. I’m bored by the Fuck Google And Twitter statements—please stop distributing useless messages on platforms where people already fucked Google and Twitter. Yes, Go is awesome and Linux For The Win, yadda yadda. Yes, everyone should get their COVID jab. Dear God, make it stop. Should I start a de-follow frenzy? Compared to Twitter, Mastodon is already so very tiny. I’m sure I’m still missing out on interesting non-tech savvy people to follow, but it’s hard to deny the homogeneity of the population there.”

@ghost_bird The more they justify, the more they slip.
@krisfreedain I’ve been having those a lot lately. All the best.
@tychi Darn it. I’ve misplaced mine too it seems.
Trying something.

> Why can’t I just click a button and follow all the local events for my favorite artist/venue/team/theater/charity? Why do I still have to manually create events and copy and paste details? Why are there so few “add to calendar” and why do they often fail?
It's because of advertising.
Artists, venues, teams, theaters, charities and other performers may themselves not care - they make money on you being there. But everyone else between you and the event, they make money on your attention. They explicitly don't want you to streamline or automate event discovery and attendance scheduling. They want you to visit their pages, and be exposed to ads (whether it's regular ads where they get paid per click, or ads for different events with which they make money on you deciding to attend).
The "attention economy" is, by definition, built on making everything inefficient and full of hassle. To monetize attention, you have to make the users pay it first.
This may be an tired point, but I feel it bears repeating. The problem isn't one of technology - the tech for what you want exists, and actually worked much better in the past. The problem is businesses: they actively don't want you to use the Internet in this way.

If you're sending me a follow request, please fill your bio/pinned toots with something meaningful. Say hi. This is my personal alt and I need to know you're a safe person.
On the flip side... if I followed you (or requested to follow you), there's a good chance I liked some of the content you're posting. 😊 And if I find that I'm not enjoying it as much as I thought I would (over an extended period of time -- typically some months), I might unfollow you. 😞 Of course, I'll expect you are happy to do the same for me. There's no obligation whatsoever around these parts.
It's *your* feed. Just like it is mine.
When a potential employee starts by assuming you are a man and addresses you as "sir."

Covid, vaccination
Going to get my second shot tomorrow, super fucking excited! 💉💉💯
django hiring post, boosts welcome
🚀 Alright fedi gang, do your magic please. 😊 Looking for a junior #Django dev in the UTC+05:00 to UTC+08:00 timezone. At least 6 months of experience; ideally a year.
The company is a small business, and isn't a total dumpster fire as far as treating you goes (yay). I was quite pleasantly surprised, in fact. Fully remote (the whole team is!). Full time: 40 hours per week spread over Mon-Fri.
Project is ~2 months in and a standard Django thingy.
You'll work with me. Feel free to check my site (https://rusingh.com/) to get a sense of who I am. Happy to help you throughout your onboarding and beyond.
If you have any questions, get in touch with me: https://rusingh.com/elsewhere/.
Apply here: https://forms.bloo.io/f/ckqzea5ja1787428ppdfjrnrgk5
Time for hash-tag spam, which I know doesn't quite work on fedi, but we're also kinda hoping it does. Overlook, please. 🙃

Considering selling my #RaspberryPi 4. Bought from https://www.factoryforward.com/product/raspberry-pi-4-kit-2gb-ram-basic-price-india/ w/ 32 GB SD card.
Barely used. Thought I'd self-host, that isn't happening. Thought I'd do other things - also not happened yet.
Selling for 75% of purchase: ₹4320 plus whatever shipping is. #India #ForSale
