Doing large scale edits on #openstreetmap really make me realise how small I am.
1 person, in 1 flat, in 1 town, in 1 country, on 1 content.
There are literally billions of us.

Kids, never leave home. Rent is leech of life, making it unbearable.
I'm weirdly excited for #RFC 9078
It's just us

I'm not even mad at #BRC they are a union of capital fighting to to make more money. A union of labourers should fight them, and the Government should step in and say "hang on, you're trying to kill your employees, that's bad for our GDP you can't do that."

something I sometimes struggle to explain to some of the elder millenials in my life is that the cost of entry into everything gone up AND everything's been hollowed out. Education is more difficult to obtain AND the quality of it has gone down. Renting is more expensive and difficult to get approved for AND the houses are more neglected.
Benefits are more complicated to apply for AND they're worth less.

millennial relationships escalate in ordered stages like “sharing traumas, physical intimacy, emotional commitment, being willing to pick up if they call your cell phone”

I feel like there's an ideological cold war out there in tech (and possibly in tech education) between
1. "computers MUST be fully user-programmable or a massive social disaster will occur on the order of Fascism and Communism, but now with pervasive surveillance"
vs
2. "computers are far too dangerous to allow users to control, so they MUST be centrally managed and filtered by a genius tech elite".
I stand firmly in camp 1.
Whenever I see people espousing Camp 2 ideas, I shiver and run.
Fuck no. Retailers, please stop fucking us.

Come to think of it, they also offer Flu jabs (which I got 🤷♂️) not because they care about our wellbeing, but because it's cheaper for them.
Doesn't sick pay come out like that? Cheaper to give someone the day off than have it spread through everyone?
Greedy bastards can't even do #Capitalism right

Sorry to my coworkers and the hundreds of customers today. I had to go to work while I've got the flu today. Unfortunately this place doesn't have real sick pay.

@AntennaPod a great #FLOSS #PodCatcher for #Android has joined the #Fediverse. 😊 🎉 We'd like to extend a warm welcome. 💕 So if you love #Podcasts and #FreeSoftware you might want to take a look at #AntennaPod. Although we suspect most of you know the project already anyway. 😉
My pet died last night.
I love you Sleepy Boy

Companies be like: we're looking for a junior developer with the experience of a senior engineer and the salary expectations of an intern.
