Fuck. Ho appena scoperto che La Corona di Ghiaccio (Wintersmith) di #GNUTerryPratchett non è disponibile in ebook. Qualcuno ha un consiglio rapidissimo su un libro in italiano*, ebook, che faccia *ridere* delle persone di 7 anni e che non abbia niente a che fare con nazi-TERF assortite? #ChiediFedi #askfedi * andrebbe bene anche tedesco ma la mia pronuncia è umiliante e quindi non posso leggerlo alle suddette persone

I'm still unemployed, and I'm starting to think that I'm not going to find a job with #Django (in Berlin or remote). After 25yrs as a dev I'm really pretty good - actually I'm good enough that I'm a better tailwind developer after three days' than people who've been using it for a year or more. And that's with me being a backender by trade. Anybody's hiring? I'm also a good tech lead, I can do devops, etc etc. #FediHire #getfedihired

Given my track record, I could single-handedly crash the entire AI industry simply by investing all my life savings in OpenAI.

I've been using Mint (Cinnamon) exclusively for the last four years or so, and I'm generally completely happy and satisfied and I don't miss Windows at all. Except for one thing: Windows terminal. And actually just one part of Windows terminal: being able to give different names to tabs. I don't want to use a different terminal with AI bullshit or anything, I just want to have different names in tabs. Anybody? #linux #linuxmint

One of my kids is very much into minerals (for unknown reasons since I'm a rockhound and 7yos routinely hate what dad likes, right? Right?) so we started a "grow your own alum crystal" science project. Unfortunately the crystals aren't growing as expected, so I had to start looking for information to see if we're doing something wrong. Having found such information, I can confidently say that DAMN now I'm going to have *yet another* obsession.

Here, you'll find the amazing crystals I grew, and how you can get started with crystal growing.

For the record, I'm still unemployed - there are a couple things that seem promising but still no offer so they're nothing. Which means it's again time to #getfedihired (or #fedihire ?) because I'm still a pretty good Django developer, and I've been a developer for long enough to know my way around pretty much everything this side of Rust (eg. doing small contract stuff with Angular right now). I was also a CTO! And I live in Berlin, and speak EN/IT and a little DE. And I'm lovely =)

Another track from a long long time ago, with the dubious merit of being a) one of the very few with Italian lyrics; and b) a noisy, possibly industrial spoken word opera in three acts. Note that the file is very harsh. Be mindful of your ears and don't trust the intro.

A recent discussion that I will not link to, to protect the innocent, made me realize I have a barely suppressed stationery fixation (not fetish because there's nothing sexual but, you know) Am I alone in this? (I'm genuinely curious so if you feel like boosting that's great and of the utmost importance) (Also I suspect I'd need to run this on Twitter to have a control group)

My kids' educator told us the children were talking about politics at school (primary), and there was great commotion around AfD - so gret, in fact, that my own kids apparently cried like crazy because they fear that if AfD wins, we (parents) will be sent away because we weren't born in Germany. I'm so fucking angry at those motherfucking Putin-fellating Nazis right now. #afd #fuckafd #fuckputin
