BlueSky, the fully decentralised (wink wink) social media platform is down worldwide again. -
On reflection, I think the worst part of Cory Doctorow’s argument in favor of LLM use is this:@mathew (i can quench the curiosity on the bitterant, having licked both a battery and a switch cart: it's real bad and it takes forever to get out of your mouth)

for folks looking for a firefox alternative: i have been using and recommend very much Waterfoxit sucks that the only real browser options currently are firefox and its forks, different flavors of chromium, and safari if you're in the apple ecosystem
if you're keen on something different, consider giving servo a boost - it's still in early dev but it'll be refreshing to have a new browser engine up and about https://servo.org/

yes it is a firefox fork, and there is risk insofar as future well-poisoning - but they've done a good job so far at keeping stuff like tracking, telemetry, and AI junk as carved out or locked down as they can.

anyway, hey, uh, if you know of any good remote work places, let me know?anyway, hey, uh, if you know of any good remote work places, let me know? i am my mom's caregiver, and need to be here at home as much as possible for her, but two people living off of one social security check just does not work very well.
my resume isn't fantastic¹, but i like working with computers, medical things, writing, and breaking down complicated subjects into easier to understand chunks. i also pick new stuff up really quickly. if there's any like. specific skills you want to know about please ask!
i really don't have any specific ideas for a field or a specific position. i have no idea what's out there and some of the best jobs are the ones you don't really think about, i've seen!
the only "hard no" i have is anything that would require being on the phone as a major portion of job duties because, first and foremost, i am mom's caregiver, and if she needs me, i will drop what i'm doing to go help. (also i am just. wildly uncomfortable with phones. i can but it's really stressful.)
1: "fantastic" based on my understanding of what companies want in a resume. mine is currently a combination of "a lot of the work i have done is not easily presentable via a resume" and "i got two IT-related degrees but was not able to find a job in that field since i live super rural, so i just took what i could get"
