Kit Bashir Boosted"At least inner-demons don't bother anyone else. Having outer-demons..."
There was a crash and a screech and a clattering of cutlery.
My client didn't even flinch, simply adding another I.O.U to the pile on the table.
"...It's about as expensive but they need so much more enrichment."
I nodded sympathetically, "So you need me to exorcise them?"
"Oh no! I want them to be picked up by cameras - I could monetize the hell out of them!"

When I opened the Letter of Last Resort, the sealed standing orders from the Autarch on what to do in the case that the home planet is destroyed, I was expecting more than “do a barrel roll”. Welp, here goes.

In response to this post@Sheep_Overboard @platypusparent came here to write that. Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia.
@Unixbigot @platypusparent
Consider it written, by you, once again, for emphasis 😀

Kit Bashir BoostedMy dog pulled on her lead excitedly. She was leaning low over her outstretched forepaws, wagging her tail, showing she wanted to play.
“Ruby, what is it?”
I looked ahead and saw a #fox boldly sitting by a whole in a hedgerow. Its bright coat made Ruby’s reddish brown fur look dull in comparison.
The urban foxes round here were used to people, but they were usually afraid of dogs. It moved on, leaving its scent on a tree before turning a corner. A male, then. He seemed to be teasing Ruby. Was cross-species canine love a thing?
As we turned the corner, the fox nonchalantly walk passed us.
“Good evening, Mr Fox!” I said.
“Good evening,” it replied.

Kit Bashir BoostedI'm open for Ruby on Rails contract work in 2025!
I'm an experienced systems and performance engineer with deep knowledge of Rails and the Ruby VM, and I have code committed and CVEs credited in both projects. I am also highly proficient with web tech, databases, and Linux systems.
I've worked at every layer of the stack from kernel to browser frontend, and I'm comfortable with cracking open the code to answer questions the documentation doesn't.
From 2013 to 2018 I worked on systems and performance at GitHub, where I led efforts to upgrade the main Rails app from Rails 2.3 to 3.2 (old heads know) and from Ruby 1.9 to the 2.x series.
I'm based in Melbourne, Australia and am experienced and comfortable working remotely, however I am also open to hybrid arrangements if you're local.
Available for immediate start on short-to-mid-term contracts. DM here, or reach out via email at hailey@hails.org.
boosts appreciated :) #ruby #rails #fedihired

In response to this post@Melissabeartrix shared office spaces are important because of the serendipitous collaboration that happens due to cube-wall overspill (which everyone now aggressively screens out).

Ukrainian pigs developing a taste for Korean barbecue is a heck of an opening episode. What i’m hearing about 2020 series six is making me glad i stopped watching years back.
(Context: news reports that herds of pigs have developed a pavlovian “follow the drones” reaction, because russian forces are abandoning their killed and wounded. https://wandering.shop/@cstross/113794593372611813 )

“Residents of Chryse Planitia are urged to evacuate immediately…” my handunit was relaying the emergency broadcast “…before the approaching terrastorm cuts off egress. Bring medications and pets but leave household robots…”.
Not on my watch. “Janie, prep the crawler and the cargo pod.” I called. To K7-VA I said “put the word out on the Mesh, K: assemble at the Cenotaph, we’ve got room for every ‘bot in town.”
