The core here is: - I am accepting work - If you are doing open source stuff, a hobby project, etc. I'm $25/hour. - If you're a tech company, I'm $125/hour. - If you're a small business, etc, I'm in between those two numbers, but closer to the hobby number. - I can do lots of weird computer bullshit, and I can contract out to people I already work with and trust for the small number of things I can't do myself. - Initial discussions are free, and I'll quote the whole project up front. - I'd rather do weird BS for individuals than corporate stuff for corporations.

Attached: 4 images looking at the night sky is one of my fav things, so i was so pleased i got to see the northern lights tonight! i live in the city, but the little park next to my flat has a pretty dark corner where juno and i stargaze often, so we managed to see them there 😌

Want to take a vacation from open source maintenance? You should. Did you know that GitHub has a profile status feature to mark yourself as busy, mute notifications, and prompt folks who mention you that you're busy for a while? Before today the longest (optional) "automatically clear this status" preset was a week. Now the longest preset is a month. Because let's face it, a week is not always a long enough break from the demands of other people. #OpenSource #GitHub #OSS

I do wish I could tell recruiters that I’ll never apply to a company that reports record profits and also lays people off. Like why are we wasting each others time talking about corporate mottos and exciting projects? Your leadership treats people like disposable cups. That’s all I need to know. #tech #layoffs

Attached: 1 image Jack Dorsey is furious that #Bluesky has attracted "very very common" people. He also doesn't like the idea of moderation tools facilitating the banning of racists. All these tech billionaires are like a version of the movie Big, in which a pre-adolescent boy wakes up in the body of an aging Howard Hughes. Or Colonel Kurtz. Or a sardine. #JackDorsey

I know have separate Mastodon lists of bridged #BlueSky accounts I follow here (thanks @snarfed.org@snarfed.org), Flipboard accounts I follow here (thanks @mike@flipboard.social), federated WordPress blogs I follow here (thanks @matthias@pfefferle.org ), federated Podcast feeds I follow here (thanks @dave@podcastindex.social ) and Threads accounts I follow here (thanks @jessel@universeodon.com & @pcottle@cyberplace.social ) ... and that fact that we can do this at all, and now feels like the new normal, should be an Internet history milestone of some kind.
