Reading about Platformer leaving Substack after sending the company examples of Nazis hosted on the service and the company tried to discredit them about making a mountain out of a molehill. So odd to see Substack ban porn yet go to the mat for Nazis. https://www.platformer.news/p/why-platformer-is-leaving-substack

Remember how my previous employer denied my WFH request so that I could flee the state of Ohio to take care of my trans kid while still working for a company I loved? I just heard they did it to someone else today. When you insist people come in to an office a few days a week because you want a "hybrid culture" not a "remote culture" and then tell them to just fuck off when all they want to do is get their kid somewhere safe that makes you an absolutely shitty person. I'm done hiding who it was. The company is #OverDrive, based in Cleveland. They make ebook lending software for your local library called #Libby. They say they care about their LGBTQIA+ employees and families but that is clearly a lie. Ohio lawmakers are turning my home state into absolute garbage and companies like this one are playing along. Tell your local library to #DropLibby [Edit, since this is doing numbers: The reason my request was denied a little over a year ago, despite me explaining in detail why, was because they "want a hybrid culture, not a remote culture." (a quote from a senior leader to my face) In both 2020 and 2021 while the whole company was working remotely I won two annual employee excellence awards for my work on their Security team, while the company had record growth. Meanwhile, one of my teammates moved out of state to be closer to family and continued to work remotely.] #Trans #TransRights #Ebooks #Libraries #Bookstodon

Getting rejections months later (like 2+) makes me scratch my hair. I've been looking for work for ~100 days now (according to my pinned post) and at this point, I truly forgot about y'all. I'd name the company but that's not worth it

Yesterday some guy made a post in the Baldurs Gate 3 subreddit asking "How can I buy this game?" Obviously the answer is "steam, xbox etc" so I clicked on it like "huh" Turns out the guy (who I presume is a teenager) has been saving for this game for 2 (!) years and thinks he finally has enough funds to buy the game. But, he lives in Egypt. Valve does not support purchases through EGP (Egyptian Pounds). So he has to buy it in USD. But, in Oct 2023 his and other banks in Egypt, disallowed debit cards from making purchases in foreign currency. So he can't buy the game, what does he do? He really wants to own his first game, and he really wants it to be BG3. Suggestions were "use PayPal" "I can't, they're charging in USD too" and "use crypto" (not sure if that was an avenue open to him, but that's an arse ache and rife for scams if you don't know what you're doing).

Interviewer: Can you explain these gaps in your resume? Me: Those are typographical indicators called spaces and line breaks that separate words and paragraphs.

Look, browser makers. If you REALLY want to innovate then give me a button that consolidates every tab from the 7 browser windows I somehow have open into one fucking window.

I heard a great joke today What's the difference between a hedgehog and a Range Rover? Well with a hedgehog the pricks are on the outside.

I get approached a lot by recruiters. Like most modern algorithm, powered things, it suggests more of the same. This poses a challenge for me as I want to do things differently.

Just discovered https://github.com/gayanvoice/top-github-users/blob/main/markdown/public_contributions/united_kingdom.md According to that I'm #1 in public GitHub contributions in Scotland, #10 in the UK and, if I were in the USA, would be #9. Neat.
