Officially got the word today. My employer is shitcanning all remote employees if we don't agree to set our lives on fire and move. And in the middle of a historically bad tech job market. I've sent out a ton of resumes and gotten nothing, like everyone else. If anyone needs a senior software engineer (backend primarily) who's really good at their job, hit me up. #GetFediHired

Thanks to 20+ years of cooperation via standards, most web devs are insulated from the reality that competition (or the threat of it) makes standards possible. It's a shock to recognise that Apple has broken the system so thoroughly that SDOs themselves are at risk:

Under this post, in the replies, there are stories of Palestinian people on the fediverse (as verified by @aral) fleeing the genocide, and how you can help them survive through the artificially created famine (by Israel) and violent (and immensely expensive) displacement, look at the replies to this post down below, I will keep updating this thread and post it regularly.

If you want people on Mastodon etc to follow your PeerTube, it's important that you encourage them to follow your PeerTube account instead of your PeerTube channel.

When people from Mastodon etc follow PeerTube accounts, videos will start to federate to their server and show up in their timelines on Mastodon etc.

However, if they follow a PeerTube channel instead of a PeerTube account, the videos may not federate to their Mastodon etc server at all.

What kind of home is left for us once we are forced out?
We carry our fear with us everywhere, as if it has become a part of who we are.
Displacement after displacement… humiliation on top of injustice…
The same cycle of suffering repeats each day.
We are tired of searching for a “safe place” in a land where safety no longer exists.
This is our life: carrying the few belongings we have left, moving again and again, still asking — where can we go?

(Also, a bug in the first code listing: I should be initialising this.data to `{}` (empty object) instead of `’’` (empty string). It’s confusing and could cause a crash if you were doing lookup before the value was populated. It snuck in because the property actually was a string earlier on.)

I haven’t added an example of how you implement migrations with Kitten’s¹ built-in JSDB database² yet but here’s one that I just used when renaming a field (property) in a table (JavaScript object) from “account” to “data” that illustrates the general granular approach you should take within persisted instances of JavaScript classes.

This is, of course, an advanced use case of the built-in JavaScript database that all Kitten apps have.

Kitten is simple for simple use cases. So check out the Persistence tutorial, for example, to see how easy it is to get started with JSDB in Kitten:

https://kitten.small-web.org/tutorials/persistence/

And see the Database App Modules tutorial for a more advanced usage where you persist instances of JavaScript classes and have full type safety:

Analysis: What if the US stopped supporting Israel tomorrow?

Half of US voters believe Israel is committing genocide & six in 10 oppose further military aid.

Four experts offer their analyses:

Hamze Attar, defence analyst
Ori Goldberg, Israeli political scientist
HA Hellyer, Center for American Progress
Daniel Levy, former Israeli government adviser.

Hello everyone! I am Joy, a Palestinian writer and poet, I have just migrated from Blue Sky platform, after they deleted my accounts after I received a lot of interest, followers and fans for my writings and poems that I published on my personal page. Blue Sky platform decided that they will fight all Palestinian writers, and the only accusation is their nationality and their voice that they chose to silence and bury alive, but I am here now to complete my journey 💗

What I remember about my EMS days mostly were a few near-PTSD-inducing jobs (none as intense as the one at the end of the article, though), but chiefly a level of camaraderie that I've rarely encountered sense (perhaps helped by the lens of nostalgia). I was an EMS medic in the early 80's, before it merged into FDNY, still during the long tail of the city's financial crisis. Everything was breaking all the time. The city was more violent. But it felt meaningful, and we had each other's backs.
