I'm looking for work as a Senior Software Engineer. Network programmer since 1990, with a Web focus. I've implemented many protocols and designed some too.  Worked on early RFCs; wrote seminal tutorials on Web tech; wrote the first anti-censorship proxy, CGIProxy, in 1996. I have a ton of experience in many different business contexts, including running a small USG-funded NGO from 2011-2019. My main languages are Go, JavaScript (Node.JS/client-side), Perl, Python, and Rust, but I learn quickly and can pick up other tech as needed. Good at teaching. Record of solving hard problems creatively. Can manage if needed, but I'd rather be doing technical work.

Open to permanent or contract, full or part time. Need to work from home. Ideally I'd work in public interest technology (PIT), but can do corporate work too. Available immediately.

DM me here, email james@jmarshall.com, or Signal at jamesmarshall.02 .

Thank you for any leads! 😊

@evan I'm all for full representation, but technically speaking I prefer keeping network protocols more generic and leaving details like this to the apps.

@ethanz I would argue that meta has never grown through innovation, at least not anything that benefits the users. They didn't invent social media; they only succeeded through monopolization. People only accept their products because they've lowered people's expectations of what social media can and should be.

@iuveaene @evan and therefore, a triangle squared:
(1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9)²

@w7voa this was the attack by Israel, yes? Did Israel know the WHO Director-General was there?

@TarkabarkaHolgy yes, outrage fatigue has been used as a weapon by the right when they gain power. Trump certainly used it before, and so did GWB. That's one reason they're so sadistic, because it wears us out. Great advice!

@evan truly a masterpiece! One of my favorites. Many thought-provoking moments and themes. Did the 40th Anniversary edition have extra footage?

"Hey soldier, do you know who's in charge here?!"

"Yeah."

@evan @tomcoates great presentation! And thanks for the important work on e2ee. Looking forward to that capability.

@Em0nM4stodon that in our social world, when you're careless with your own data privacy, you're endangering all your friends too.

@FlashMobOfOne and what led you to believe he needs handlers?

Do you realize that there is an intentional media campaign against Biden because of reasons that have nothing to do with his age?

@democratsabroad

@evan SSM here. Our actual social network exists outside of the Internet, while I think of social media as being online.

@NaClKnight yes to all of those. Something you're forced to pay attention to before you get the content you want.

@w7voa did he get cheers for that?

@futurebird threats seem to be the primary way fascists and the GOP control people. It's part of their nature. I suspect threats are how GOP Congressional leaders have always gotten near-unanimous cooperation from their party on votes.

@AnthonyJK note that the definition of "Zionism" varies by person, which may be leading to confusion. I know many Jews who are pro-Palestinian-rights and anti-genocide, and who consider themselves Zionist; they see Zionism as the right of Jews to have a homeland in Israel, not against Palestinians having a homeland too, and not in support of e.g. the invading settlements. (I don't have time ATM for a full discussion, sorry, but thought I'd mention this since I didn't see it elsewhere.)

@evan I hadn't heard the term "private mode" here, but I know you can require approval for every follow, and then post to only followers, so I replied QY. Is there another way to get privacy here?

@evan I answered QY before considering the settlements. But considering them, I would say OK, sure, but they would still be subject to the laws of Palestine, which would make them criminals (land theft, murder, other violence, etc.).

@seb I know @evan and others have been running a coop-based instance in Canada, and would likely have great advice. They seem to share a lot of your values and goals for sfba.social .

@evan for me it's never. So... is that "about weekly"?
