hey just FYI: if someone messages you on discord asking you to test a game they're making for a class by downloading a running an exe, and this isn't completely 100% expected based on having seen them in real life and they said "I'm making a game for class and I'd like you to test it" to your face, their account has been hacked and it's a scam.

I got chocolate dinosaurs for Easter. Jealous?

This is perhaps somewhat entitled of me, but I am not going to commit to your modular storage system if it requires some weird hardware that apparently can only be reliably sourced from one place. M2.5 square nuts in a particular size that doesn’t appear conform to an actual standard? Ugh.

Everybody wants to create their own system because that gets people coming back for more downloads and points, but if you’re going to do that your hardware choices should be accessible. #3DPrinting

Folks, if someone in the US wants to study a group of people with a a certain condition, they go to an IRB to get permission. They have to decide if the research will use identifiable information. If the data contain identifiers, you essentially always have to get permission from each and every patient, and that permission has to be specific to the exact use of their data.

You don’t “make a registry” of everyone with a disease. Bad people do that. Nazis. Insurance execs. Bad people.

I'm hiring for two roles; hybrid, UK-only. A junior Ruby-on-Rails developer looking to step up to the next level of their career & similarly a front-end dev:

Charanga's platform is used worldwide to make music teaching and learning more impactful, engaging and accessible.

We’re launching a new stand-alone platform to support one of the UK’s most prestigious arts institutions, and both roles will be working on this.

Boosts appreciated!

MORNING!

Good evening Mastodon, from me and the heron that posed very nicely for me this afternoon. Bit busy with STUFF at the moment so I am trying to channel its calm elegance and dignity. I am not succeeding, but not to worry. :TotoroDanca:

Did you leave your Wii at the #EMF2024 Swap Shop?

If so, it's now hosting my blog:

Huge credit to @jmcwhatever for the effort porting NetBSD to the Wii!

also this page on colour contains one of the few grumpy comments in the zine, it might not make it into the final version tbh because I think being a curmudgeon is boring

People told me to spend Easter in the spirit of Jesus. So I got hammered.

Someone in the Vatican: jd vance is coming to see you.

Pope Francis: Tell him I died.

Someone: But sir, we'll have to fake your death

Pope Francis: *packing suitcase* Did I fucking stutter.
