@_elena Out of interest (and hijacking your thread, sorry): How do you do networking in that field? Just keep a rolodex and bookmark peoples portfolio pages? I've been looking for people to commission a music video & cover art and have no idea how to find the people and get the right question out to them. LinkedIn indeed doesn't really cater to it.

@_elena
Did you find any replacement for LinkedIn (on the fediverse ideally)?

@killyourfm Man I hope audio engineering applications (DAW's and VST's specifically) follow suit and find support on Linux platforms.

@_elena That last recommendation is a sad but elegant solution.

Sheamus & Drew McIntyre battle of words was on fire.

#Mozilla asks for donations to reach half of their CEO's yearly salary, while people are getting laid off. Seems to me that the solution is simple.

@BethanyBlack Well spotted, though I don't think it has to be an opposition. We might be able to build bridges in the realization that striving for "freedom to" doesn't _have_ to impede another's "freedom from". A libertarian may very well intend to exercise their freedoms to do anything with a sense of civic duty and social awareness. Those who call for social security may very well support the freedom for anyone to do anything as long as they feel acknowledged in their own safety concerns.

A serverless function that ends up running all the time is just an expensive server.

@killyourfm
I'm considering a Thinkpad for the same reason, although I don't like the keyboard layout. As a European I'm not sure about system76 warranty support. Not a fan of MacOS but I didn't really consider installing Linux on a Mac. Is that advisable at all? Another option I'm considering is Dell XPS 13 plus.

Didn't quite nail the "lesser known bands" bit, did it?

@Mastodon
Why do people say DevOps engineer when they mean Software Developer?

@aab I personally also believe the fediverse is better than any of the ones I mentioned. I don't think "bigtech company" in itself is a valid argument though. Track record is, which is why I think people should avoid instagram, facebook and whatsapp as well.

The thing is that I think it's more important right now that people are aware that voting with their feet is an option in the first place.

Instead of bashing Musk and criticizing Twitter, I think it's important that we all focus on increasing the appeal of the alternatives. #mastodon is great, but for the greater good it's more important that people feel secure to move away from #twitter than that they move to Mastodon. I dislike #meta but I think #instagram right now is still a lesser evil. #linkedin is a place to find an audience if you're a public speaker. Building communities in #discord and #twitch works as well.
