You know how you've been clamoring to work with me? Well Drexel is looking for a new Assistant Director for Undergraduate Education who will be the academic and administrative backbone of a growing department. Imagine your luck! […]

AWS: With AWS you can run work loads anywhere in the world! Also: AWS: Redundancy? We're aware of the term.

I've just seen a Maserati working as an Uber in Bradford, which is a pretty bad case of reduced circumstances.

I started the morning right by updating my Gotosocial instance to 0.20.1 and all looks good @gotosocial #gotosocial

I've voted in the National Trust board elections but there are way too many candidates on the ballot to make an informed decision, apart from risking an eye at the Reform Trust website to see who not to vote for. There are something like 40 candidates, all saying similar things and I don't who […]

Dyw i wedi ddim yn gwybod fod heddiw'n Diwrnod Shwmae Su'mae. Felly, su'mae siaradwyr a dysgwyr Cymraeg! #cymraeg #dysgucymraeg

I got an email from UK fact checking organisation Full Fact yesterday saying that Google had withdrawn funding from them, a million quid a year. That's a drop in the ocean to Google. Does Google want to be the only source of truth? #fullfact #degoogleyourlife

For the first time in a long time, I have a professional CV! (100% hand-coded HTML of course, and the PDF was itself printed from the HTML via a print stylesheet.) 😎 I'm looking to make a major impact on a fast-growing team with high-stakes full-stack architecture or design system planning […]

👋 I’m on the look out for my next project, I’m an experienced Elixir dev (> 8 years, and > 10 years of Ruby before that + I'm still the maintainer of RSpec), very familiar with Phoenix and LiveView, and have enough CSS / JS knowledge to approach projects from a full stack angle. I’ve worked […]

The Sideshow Bob of browsers finds another room full of rakes to walk into. > @alternativeto 🔗 https://mas.to/users/alternativeto/statuses/115374077355253846 * Firefox 144.0 introduces updates to tab groups, profiles, and security, including drag-and-drop tabs, a new profile system, Visual […]

I'm going to unfollow @2001x24 at the end of the current run. It's into the credits now, but to unfollow now feels like walking out of the cinema.

The last of my trio of testing phones has been unlocked and had e/OS installed. This phone was a bargain - £60 in an eBay auction - and apart from the faff of unlocking it it's a perfectly good 8Gb/256GB phone. @murena #eos #degoogling

Long shot but does anyone have a pointer to a reliable way to unlock a Xiaomi phone, specifically a Poco X3 Pro. I know it's a ridiculous process but there are any number of ways to do it online and I'd just like the one that works now. #xiaomi #unlock

I've updated my Gotosocial instance to v0.20.0 Sinister Sloth and it all seems to be working well. Nipped to Aldi while the database was updating and decided to treat myself to a six pack of... C'mon people, make up your mind, which one is it?

I've put @postmarketOS with Phosh on a OnePlus 6T and it feels very nice straight away.

Would the person who guessed one year three months six days in the when's Rishi going to go to the US raffle please make themselves known to the committee. Prize is a gift voucher for the village deli.

In incompetent delivery service news, Evri's dropoff locker location map shows that there are lockers at our local corner shop. There have never been Evri lockers at our local corner shop, and the staff have to keep telling people that. It also means people try to send things to the non-existent […]

Here's a question that I'm sure I will be able to find the answer to in the morning, but anyway - I can't reply to toots from mastodon.social any more. I'm on Gotosocial 0.19. Anyone know?

Well, it took a few goes but I've got Ubuntu Touch 24.04 running on a OnePlus Nord N10 5G. Let's take this baby for a ride. #ubuntutouch

For those who are about to tumble, we salute you. #music #rock #metal

[Covid jab UK] I had my covid and flu jabs yesterday lunchtime. The covid jab usually leaves me feeling bad for a few hours, but I still don't feel great today, so it must be a bit of a crunchy one this year.

Scanner's Quiet Details release 'Forces, Reactions, Deflections' is a beautiful ambient work made from samples of a steel staircase in his house, casually showing how it's done as always. Digital is half price at the moment: https://quietdetails.bandcamp.com/album/forces-reactions-deflections […]

It was our village's Scarecrow Festival yesterday and the theme was celebrating Bradford's cultural history, so there were a couple of Hockneys (fewer than expected), a couple of Brontes, a couple of Dynamos, a Kate Bush a-wuthering and Billy Pearce […] [Original post on gotosocial.grnwds.uk]

The legends speak of the person who bought ready to eat avocados from the supermarket and used them that day. Well, today, I can tell you I AM THAT PERSON.

I'm stupidly pleased to have realised that after only three episodes of the current series, I've realised that Reece Shearsmith has come on holiday by mistake. #taskmaster

This is easily going to hit 1,000,000 signatures by the end of lunchtime. Can't remember the last time I saw one move this quick. Please add yours and let's try and stop this awful idea. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/730194

The most significant downside of the mastodon and so-called fediverse is that it has no users. It's just me from millions of accounts, and to prove that i'll now post this from all of them

[USPol, space thoughts] Perhaps this hurry to get back to the moon is to check if the Moon Nazis need any help in finishing building Götterdämmerung.

14,000 points on Duolingo on a Tuesday? I'm calling shenanigans.

[UKPol] It's nice that someone else has managed to be the last person in the room with the Prime Minister and pointed out that things might not be going so well, but he needs to dump the Blue Labour appeasers who have wasted over a year in trying to get people who would never vote for them to […]

“Twenty Four Hour Garage People” I fancy I’ll open a stationer’s Stock quaint notepads for weekend pagans While you were out at The Rollright Stones I came and set fire to your shed ‘Cos you probably work at an all-night garage You probably work at an all-night garage You probably work at an […]

Number one daughter wanted to go to Smyths so, being a responsible adult, I have bought three of the Zuru Max Retro kits. Six quid at the moment.

I've just had an email from Google saying they're changing my location from United Kingdom to United States - South Carolina. I can't think of any reason on my side why this would be, and there isn't a way of changing it until it's actually been changed. I use Google as little as possible but I […]

Vinyl Magazine was a Dutch magazine published from 1981-1988 that included a flexidisc with every issue. These were mostly European artists from the low-fi and experimental scenes, but later as the magazine got more glossy, the artists became more well-known. I found this collection of the […]

[UKPol, swearing] When the owner of a major social media platform and the world's richest man publicly advocates a change in government in a country that he doesn't have citizenship in, you'd think that the government of that country would, you know, consider leaving that platform. But in this […]

[Sad news (death)] I've found out this morning that @radiophobicsherkpop, who will be a mutual to a lot of my followers, died this week. I've known him online and IRL for getting on for twenty years and he was a lovely chap. He was enjoying doing his music and being on here and will be missed […]

My good lady wife has suggested that we go to Haworth this weekend, so I'm looking forward to having a good old fashioned wuther.

I'm oddly pleased to see that Gruff Rhys is trying to will Festival No 6 back into existence by playing a gig at Portmeirion on his current tour (it says Penryndeudraeth on his Bandcamp, technically correct but also very much not).

I was searching through a box of badges for something and came across this. It's a badge for the 2000 Manchester Olympic bid. I think I picked it up in a BT office just after the event had been awarded to Sydney. #olympics #manchester #badges #thingsofinterest

Morning listening is the new LP by @socool 'To The Nines'. Mellow and breakbeaty with some lovely bass playing, perfect early morning music. @electronicmusic #music #nowplaying

[USPol] Thr killer put their MAGA hat back on and disappeared into the crowd.

Testing another message to @electronicmusic as my GTS instance seems to be a bit funny about it.

Android app recommendation for TrackerControl, available from F-Droid. It will in turn surprise and enrage you with what libraries apps contain.

OK, #fediverse ... in addition to #endof10 and rescuing good hardware from Windows, I am going to soon take on a project to rescue a 2019 Intel-based iMac (containing a fusion drive ... bleck!) from MacOS. Anyone out there in the 'verse have prior experience installing #gnu/#Linux on this era of […]

Having just finished a 1-year consulting contract myself, my own list of restrictions for future jobs/consulting is very similar: - will not work on adtech/surveillance/weapons - will not knowingly make world worse and/or abet genocides - will not be forced to use vibe coding (or will explain […]

I have so much free time it’s unbelievable. I’m open to full-time work in NYC or remote. Senior product designer/design engineer. https://samhenri.gold

After listening to some more Llyn y Cwn I bought the full discography. It's amazing headphone ambient, literally deep listening sometimes. https://llynycwn.bandcamp.com/music #bandcampfriday #ambient #drone
