One of life’s greatest joys is getting a cat you just met to purr

working on a Mastodon flyer generator with @maloki to help spread the word on other sites:

https://codepen.io/benjbrandall/pen/yKPvbV

The idea is that we could have a variety of designs and sample texts that appeal to different people, e.g. "Love Linux? Join linuxrocks.online"

we hope to crowdsource development, so would love help with:

* source images for the flyers
* suggested text snippets
* improving the functionality (maybe a dropdown to switch between source images?)

let us know if you can help :)

on the one hand it's karaoke
on the other hand it's with "people" from "work"

so i guess ill only dress half gay

"We are looking for a full-stack developer."

Yeah well I'd like to ride a unicorn for money too but that's not gonna happen.

David Gerrold not only predicted smartphones very accurately in 1999, he mentioned their implications, too:

"Ah mais la pige c'est du salaire ? J'ai vu avec la compta, ça va pas passer, t'es sure que tu factures pas ?"
Certaine, Ducon, donc tu me règles ce que tu me dois et si tu veux pas payer, on arrête les frais.

"- Tu peux m'envoyer ta facture de mars ?

- Euh, c'est de la pige, donc du salaire, donc pas de facture.

- Non mais juste combien t'a écrit.

- Oui, bon le relevé de piges quoi..."

Vous sentez comme la mauvaise foi et l'administratif me gonflent profond ?

So. Yeah. That's my readmission of being a formerly shitty person. If you want to unfollow or such, I don't mind.

I personally think that who we used to be heavily influences who we are now, no matter how hard we try to make that not the case. With that in mind, I don't think that anything but complete transparency over who we used to be and what we have done/are doing is warranted.

And the last thing I want people to think is that I am not 100% transparent about any of this. Idk.

I have been accused of being sexually manipulative (and I can understand/see the argument in that case and am deeply ashamed), I have been mutually abusive, I used to be a conservative, then a libertarian, then a liberal, etc. I have been violently emotional, lashed out at people, carried racist thoughts, etc.

I like to think I've grown, and I want to own up to the shitty person I used to be, but it still worries me, as I don't want people to think I'm still that way. I can't stop people, though, and so I just gotta work to be better and better. Prove I'm not that person, y'know?

Like, I used to be not a good person. I've done and said many shitty things, had many shitty opinions, in my life.

I've grown, but it still sticks with me. I don't want that to inform people's opinion of me as a person, or as an admin (if it gets that far) but I can't stop them and frankly, I can't blame them.
