The best thing I've ever done as an IT professional is install adblockers for elderly and non-computer-literate clients. Everyone should use them. It's not even just an aesthetics thing, it's an "ads are responsible for serving tons of malicious scripts that trick people into calling numbers or clicking links that lead to scammy shit" thing.
Fuck ads.
I’m having fun learning #pinhole #photography. Or maybe relearning photography altogether. Shot on Ilford MGIV in a Harmon Ilford Obscura.
Batman but he finally gets therapy to deal with his parent's loss and realizes dressing up in a suit to beat up petty criminals is a trauma response and begins to invest billions into healthcare, police abolishment, fair housing, and drug treatment which drastically reduces crime to the point capitalists plot to eliminate him and when the succeed, this prompts the Justice Leauge to go after the industrialists responsible for his death, which give the general populace a chance to seize the means of production and the military is afraid to act because Superman has promised to destroy one military base for every civilian life they take.
That would be a pretty cool story.
A type of clam 🦪thought to be extinct, and known only to researchers by fossils it left behind thousands of years ago, has turned up alive and well off the coast of California in the USA! 🇺🇸

These two sit on the neighbors roof and watch down on our garden like Waldorf and Statler from the Muppet show.

Having a mutual "let's not buy each other gifts" agreement with someone you love is very freeing.
You can find other ways to let them know you care and it takes a lot of time and financial pressure off the Christmas period.
It also means less stuff! Which is better for the planet.
I highly recommend it!

I used to learn in school, many decades ago, that squirrels hibernate. But here, minus 10 Celcius... we have Brutus running up and down frozen and slippery trees having fun... gathering his walnuts. Is that also a climate change issue or didn’t I pay enough attention in school?

I have a friend who is looking to change #jobs - she's a #Rust developer with a fair bit of experience who wants to find something in the platform engineering or adjacent spaces. She'd like to find a full-remote job at an org not constrained by a large legacy codebase, that handles their own operations and infrastructure, and has a clear roadmap. On a personal level, I know her to be extremely competent and security-conscious, a clear communicator, and remarkably insightful.
If you have any leads, please send them to me so I can forward them to her; feel free to boost for reach. Thank you!
Sometimes it gets quite interesting, like last year (yes, the video is on Twitter, sorry) https://twitter.com/szescstopni/status/1353810909874032640
When I see famous people in the news parading about in public indoor spaces without masks on in the pandemic, I think of Veronica Lake changing her trademark "over the eye" hairstyle during WWII to help the war effort so that women on assembly lines would stop being maimed due to obscured vision from copying her. I think about it a lot.
I like people who are like Veronica Lake.

A bunch of people are sending me pictures of my #book with their dogs and I find this so adorable. Pls post photos of my book with your animal frens.
Living in the #wetlands of #Polesia (also spelled #Polesie) in #EasternPoland. Surrounded by #bogs and #forests, trying not to fuck up surrounding nature too much.
Taking care of a small pack of #dogs – #IdąPsięta.
Luddite working with hi-tech.
#RuralBroadband provider by accident. Starting a small LoRaWAN project to monitor our wetlands. Coding in #Python. Dealing with dirty data, cleaning them when time allows.
#Atheist. I don't *believe* in #science – science is the *only* thing that protects us from belief.
Fuck nazis.
My account on Twitter is still up, for good reasons. https://twitter.com/szescstopni
I check facts before I toot.
I sometimes toot in Polish.
Zdolny, ale leniwy.
