It is weird seeing "wanted: Doordashers" and "wanted: gynecologists"
You've heard the joke about what they have in common. I need not repeat it here.
But man, what the hel?

another shitty part to my morning, I found a perfect used macbook m1 for dev work, just over in Fresno. But its $450 that I just don't have. (Well, I mean, I DO have, but I've got to save every dime for rent right now.)

I'd like to thank everyone who's helped so far. I've got Cat food, and a thing or two that SNAP won't let you buy. I've got some $ set aside for groceries, its going to be 17 days until our SNAP reloads. We're not out of the woods. But THANK YOU for helping!
I do not know where the next bag of cat food is coming from. I need to find gas money first. I need help, again. I'm sorry I have to ask. Even a dollar helps.

All this going on and I'm supposed to look for a job. Supposed to write Explain videos, tips-and-tricks, setup media points.

So I'm going to be shocked, stunned, but not stopped, and keep being creative.

What I see happening, is that Noem/Trump and so on are telling their gestapo that "Sure, kill away." and their lies about it are to make people mad. (Which, it really is) Noem has telegraphed their plan with "One of ours all of yours" They WANT an ICE agent shot, so they can use it.

Considering putting the Gossamer Pro Flatpak on its own github repo / flathub as a downloadable artifact. With a "there's no DRM, toss me a couple bucks to my kofi to support me."
I'm "supporting" linux desktop because I wanted to learn how to make Flatpaks, and flutter/dart are designed for this.

Gossamer 1.3.0 is in the tests now, anyone signed up will get it now. Thanks to a LOT of work in october on Kiddonect's language support. I was able to port over the languages I had already translated to the app for launch-day support.

Gossamer has a QoL update or two, if you long-press for 2sec on the blank space on the main page it'll pop up a drag left/right to open scan/display
Oh, and thanks to kiddonect's translations, I was able to get all 14 languages installed into Gossamer, with only 43 strings to be redone.

I can't focus... this laptop can barely browse bluesky and I'm supposed to develop apps and run a business with it? The pantry is getting thin, and I have to make what's left in snap last until Feb 10.. Cats are out of food, unemployment went to make sure the power and water stay on.

Between working on a motion-graphic explainer, and well, learning how to do one properly, I'm pulling together the Language List for Gossamer 2.x Research shows that 14 languages will cover 90-95% of worldwide speakers.

I still say that the only reason Bovino said "we're good with kids" is that he's only able to find clothes in the little boy's department and he's had a lot of exposure.
It is also where most republicans go to find dates.

A central aspect of modern conservatism is the iron clad certainty that
1: some people count as people and some people don't.
2: it is their *exclusive* right to decide who goes in what group.
3: anyone who has a problem with this goes in the second group.

We should also talk more about how too many Republicans do not see entire swaths of people as actual people. You don’t casually muse about starting a war if you see troops as humans with lives and families. Normal people don’t fantasize about those from other countries dying for their own amusement.
Rep. Greg Steube: "You see Macron and the French sending troops to Greenland. I would love to see the US military up against French troops in Greenland, because it would not last very long. It would be a very small skirmish ... we don't care about what Macron and the French want."
