The iOS weather widget has started saying things like "it won't be so warm tomorrow" instead of showing a temperature, when it will be 30°+, and there doesn't seem to be a way to tell it what's warm or cold to me. 😝

RT @rysiek So, let me re-phrase:
Government-run study, involving shortening the work week for government employees proves that productivity can be *gained* by shortening the work week.
Does business jump on that insight and clear opportunity to gain productivity *for free*, thus edging a competitive advantage on the market?
No. This happens only after unions get involved.
"Capitalism efficiently allocates resources" my arse.

- An image featuring two ways to hold a computer mouse. In the bottom it shows a hand with two bones twisted unnaturally, holding a mouse, with a twisty arrow and a sign that says "unnatural". In the upper portion there's a hand gently grasping an actual mouse. The bones are arranged like they should be, and above it is the green, straight arrow that says "Natural". (remote)

- Open sketchbook surrounded by some of the used art supplies. The page shows a portrait drawing of a young woman, head slightly turned left, looking away from the viewer. She seems tired and concerned, her grey blue eyes peering through her long fringe. Her shoulder length dark purple hair is messily cut. From below the collar of her cloak something black is growing upwards along the left side of her face. Behind her is a black contrasting square, a similar pattern as the black along her face is decorating the black square in silver. (remote)

Every meeting of the flemish government in Belgium is live streamed on a YouTube channel.
Software is searching for phones and tries to identify a distracted politician. This with the help of AI. The results are then posted to social with the politician tagged. By @driesdepoorter@twitter.com🐦🔗: https://twitter.com/FlemishScroller/status/1411998415031091202

Mastodon Feed‘Can I get you something to drink, Monsieur Sartre?’ the waiter asked.
‘Yes, I’d like a cup of coffee with sugar, but with `None::`’, the philosopher replied.A few minutes later, however, the water returned and said,
‘I’m sorry, Monsieur Sartre, but we haven't found `Cream` — how about with `None::`?’

Getting a messy divorce with fierce legal disputes and a cancer that requires expensive treatment boosts GDP.
Taking time off work to have a walk in the beach with your partner reduces GDP.
Why is this the key metric of success of our societies?!

Hey, I am looking for software developer work. I am familiar with C, C++, Java, and many other languages, but I learn quickly, and can probably learn the language you use.
I'm fairly experienced in modeling relational databases, working with Qt, Sqlite, Postgres, and SQL Server, SDL, and SFML. My specialty is Linux but I can target just about any POSIX-compliant platform, or Windows, and I aim to write portable code.
I've worked on Plume, a Fediverse blogging platform, Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead, a roguelike game, sqlite_modern_cpp(a c++ abstraction wrapper for sqlite), MuaLu(A lua based muck engine), and more.
I've dabbled in assembly and lower level coding, and would not be adverse to picking it up to work.
I am based in the US, specifically Tulsa.
I am available for contract work or remote work, though I am currently caring for someone who is disabled so I have to be remote, or at least have minimal office days.
You can get in touch with me via DM or through email through VioletWhite@espeon.social

One of the things Unix had was composability. If there's a table on a website now and one on another website, and you wanna join them? Fuck you."

I'm pretty sure that heat dome that passed over us did a number to the poor leaves on our tree in the back. I wish I had a drone or something, it's hard to tell from underneath. But I see a lot of brown and leaves that look like they've been burned at the edges. That's not to mention the other plants all around that didn't fare so well under the intense heat. :(
