Everything is a lot right now, so I'm running some of my [always] free 1:1 tech career advice calls next Monday the 20th October.

📩 DM me if you would like to book a 30m call to get advice on breaking into tech, to plan your jobhunt or just to talk through whatever is on your mind.

You can’t hate fascists and use AI slop generators. They’re the same thing: total destruction of truth at scale.

What if your database just… worked? 🤔

User data isn’t lost…
It works on the web…
It has built-in sync, for #offline and #local apps from day 1…
And it’s got a proven track-record…

Some of you know it already exists — it’s @couchdb.bsky.social ! ✨

Oh and we are exporting 5–10GW on top and prices are low to zero.

Love everything* about this.

Yes it’s Sunday of a long weekend, but weekday loads are 60–65GW tops, so this ain’t half bad, as we’re using a little more than 1/2 of the installed wind capacity and less than 1/5th installed solar capacity (modulo time of year).

Jan Lehnardt @janl.bsky.narrativ.es · 10d

Neat, Germany is earlier today produced 97% of its ~50GW energy from renewables.

Roughly 2/3 wind and 1/3 solar.

I did the thing that was bugging me constantly since June that was so big in my head that I never made time for it and now I have a hard deadline coming up and I did the thing and it took 30 minutes and I am so relieved. I will learn nothing from this.

It has its problems, but do give mastodon another try and don’t expect it to be the new Twitter but a place where you can hang out with your friends.

once you state the power dynamic out loud like that, there’s no going back. you have to go full villain - eye mask, ambiguously erotic clown makeup, a cat that never seems to need to walk on its own legs

You can extrapolate a little from their discussion on why they say they can’t have an Android app www.iceblock.app/android

tl;dr: push notifications require identifiers. iOS hides that from developers, so it can’t be stolen off of them, only Apple.
