I'm sure my mastodon reach is nearly non-existent, buuut.

I'm strapping on my job helmet. Looking for someone with infrastructure/sre chops? I’ve done a lot of different things including networking, systems automation (terraform, shell, others), refining development environments with Nix. Autoscaling CI builders (didn't even use containers!), automating manual processes to free up QA time, those are the kinds of things I dig.

Must be nice to sign into law powers for your benefit.

Chief Justice Roberts refusing to testify in a hearing on Supreme Court ethics tells you quite a lot about the state of ethics on the Supreme Court.

Maybe all of these articles declare Mastodon a failure because they can't imagine a world where corporate profitability isn't the highest priority. It's sad they lack the imagination to see the value here.

We're not all desperate for the best Twitter clone. I've had my fill of that kind of "fun."

A Supreme Court with a Christofascist majority will rule in favor of evil with predictable regularity.

My advice to Joe Biden on the debt ceiling: Ignore McCarthy and the Republican radicals.

Mr. President, your oath to uphold the Constitution takes precedence. As the supreme law of the land, the Constitution has greater weight than the debt ceiling.

It would be cool if mastodon/fediverse clients had a little icon or color coded tag to indicate when posts were coming from other kinds of fediverse things.

There's the Scotland I know and love.

The Texas senate passed a bill that gives a partisan, non-elected official the power to throw out the election results of a county if he has "good cause" to believe an election is invalid.

Note: "good cause" isn't defined. It's not "evidence" of fraud or even "allegations", but entirely if the SecState doesn't like the results.

Further, the bill's stipulation that it affects counties w/1m or more voters means it only targets the Democrat-leaning Harris County.

"Endangered the friendship" by declining a free private jet flight and a paid vacation?

This shouldn't have to be said, but: any "friend" of a judge who would be offended by the judge declining expensive luxury gifts is not their "friend." The relationship is transactional.

Child labor violations are up 283% since 2015.

Meanwhile, in the past two years, at least 10 states introduced or passed laws rolling back child labor protections.

Our leaders should be protecting children, not making it easier for corporations to exploit them. https://amp.theguardian.com/law/2023/may/01/us-surge-efforts-reduce-child-labor-regulations
