If I was working I would totally have this setup for sure!

@chris

Sorry... I was making fun of all the tracking

@chris

Amazing

- it's practically impossible to count all the people in the room with you 🤣

@chris

I am not counting days, but I think this is day 5 for me? Maybe 6?

It's definitely not the right time, but that probably means it *is* the right time - if that makes any sense

CBD has come around again! That';s helping without getting intoxicated!

It's #303Day so......

I don't normally do this kind of thing, but of course back in the day I learned 'how to' as we all did?

I made this one available on Bandcamp, as always I am very grateful for any purchases, but this one is pay what you want or just take it for free!

Enjoy ❤️

Also just installed!

Got this:

You may see a warning that “some of Firefox’s security features may offer less protection on your current operating system”.

But don't understand the answer, can this be applied verbatim?

You might need to scroll down!

Still looking for some *safe* work I can do!

It's been 5 years since I had anything stable.

MSc Computer Science. I have 30 years web dev / design experience. I can usually pick up anything quickly and do really well with it. I can write. I can proof. I am good at tracking down bugs. I even know a bit about old stuff like Fortran, and Turbo Pascal - I learned strongly typed! Kept up with recent reactive stuff and can Next JS, Vue JS, etc. got data TX chops, Z39.50, OAI-PMH, etc.

Cont.

@chris

Yeah, this whole de-Appleing experiment is teaching me so much about how Apple work, about how sneaky and creepy they really are.

They are just as bad as anyone else, if not worse because they make you feel like they care.

They don't!

Note:

If you remove your sim card from your iPhone and turn wifi off:

Apple are silently turnin wifi back on if you happen to select *anything* that needs connectivity.

This is not what I was expecting.

Not cool Apple, but as always,you punch me in the face, I remove more of your options to stalk me you creepy fucks!

Wifi settings deleted!

Apple are NOT your friend!

@m2m

It's so @chris
can send me his old one 🤣

@chris

Bad decisions are okay, it's the absolutely catastrophic ones with lifelong consequences you have to watch out for.

Just had an email from yet another web dev burn victim!

This one is bad, thousands of £££ and they have nothing to show for it after the guy who was doing the so-called work disappeared.

Thousands of £££

Why do all the shit stains get the work?

I have *never* treated anyone like that! Never!!!! Not even when they have been absolutely horrific towards me - I have still just said “okay, no problem, here’s your stuff. Good luck!”

Why! Why does the world reward cunts and punish good people?

My phone is pining relentlessly with notifications from banks and eBay trying to verify each other...

There is this relentless pressure from eBay to push me into letting them have absolute control over my bank account with Trustly 🤮

Finally managed to get them to confirm via micropayments,they are going to drag this out another week.

They are the worst sticky stinky kind of dog shit!

Anyone working for eBay is a soul dead shit!

@jp

not if you paid me!

Well,if it was a lot I might, but would instantly sell it and buy something decent 👍

@botvolution

They look good to me 👍

If this was me… I’d walk away take a break, come back tomorrow and

Test each pin by running a continuity tester along the pads and top of the pin?

Pull those blobs out with a bit of wick?

@chris

Yeah, easy to spend time writing things only to not use them, I just wait until I get irritated repeating the same action over and over.

Converting HEIC images to JPG and removing metadata was a good example 👍

Huge fan of Alfred here, it's absolutely worth learning how to write your own extensions for it, I don't write many, but when I do, it's just great 👍

Oh, except I ditched Mac OS because they are embarking on an enshittification cycle to try and sell us the same stuff all over again.

Very happy with Ubuntu - it's absolutely flying on a 12 year old Macbook Air!

Someone posted this 12 year old mac is probably faster 🤣

@skinnylatte

Cool 😎

Conversely, FastMail have been excellent, old school web interface, but super slick - zero problems - they do email and they do it extremely well 👍

@skinnylatte

I don't know where to begin, just a shit show of many bugs, UI fail, coercive operational limitations - including *severely restricted search* if you don't pay, moving goalposts re. financials - first one price then another more expensive one that I would have never agreed to, export options are pretty much just a joke, I could go on at length - just buggy alpha software at best.

By far the worst email experience of my life 🤣

Okay, going to the trouble of installing Thunderbird and adding various emails I need to keep up with...

It seems like this is going to work 👍

p.s. the one account that is still festering is my Tutamail account - not installing that on here, really need to kill that off sooner rather than later. I still feel a burning sense of shame for ever having been taken in by those Class-A Holes.
