Looks like I got laid off today.

I’m open to freelance work too - programming and pixel art 🎨

My phone's incompatible with custom ROMs. With Google preventing app side loading, I'm slowly looking at replacing it. I'm torn b/c of frugality/ecology, I don't love replacing something that's not broken. (Though, I guess you could say Google broke it. I think I'll end up reselling the phone or gifting it to a friend.) Anyway, any recommendations on phones that should stay e/OS/ compatible for the foreseeable future?

( @NanoRaptor, is this your doing? )

If your service publishes status/outage info as JSON ...

... but then you 403 when curl or other automated tools are used to harvest what is supposed to be explicitly machine-readable data ...

... then you are bad, and you should feel bad.

but you don't really care for turtles,

The secret is out at last. Revealed by the cast of Firefly an hour ago, their aim is to relaunch the show as an animated series.

The video reveals (which I've included), they have Whedon's blessing, 20th CF/Disney are happy, they have a script, animation studio and show runners ready to go.

All they need is our support to show this is a viable project.

seeing another round of "don't favorite posts on fedi"

folks it is a kind and lovely thing to favorite someone's post and anyone who tells you not to be kind and lovely has told you something about themself

it's true that it doesn't particulary increase the distribution of your post but the idea that we're all here to get things distributed as far as possible is pretty weird

Apparently, this is my 5000th Mastodon toot. And it’s a good one, from my trip to Ecuador in 2018. Cheers to all my mastodon friends for the inspiration, encouragement, knowledge, and fun you’ve brought to my time over here!
