Seriously; is anyone hiring? I just got let go because "I'm just not a good fit" with no specifics or other information given, my fiancee is suicidal, and I was going paycheck to paycheck.

I can do just about any sysadmin work.

You know what, fuck German comfort. I couldn’t care less about German comfort. Or my own comfort here in Ireland. Fuck our comfort. People are fucking suffering and dying in the worst possible ways for fuck’s sake. AND WE ARE ENABLING IT. How devoid of humanity are we?

In the interest of keeping Pepper&Carrot free, I've decided to take on subtle product placement.

Holy fsck:

If you are to read one article on the Russian-Ukrainian war, read this one: https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-europe-edf7240a9d990e7e3e32f82ca351dede

But be warned that it speaks of the worst horrors this war has seen to date: the siege of Mariupol.

One of my friends, Tais Yastremskaya, who is under fire in Kyiv now, is opening commissions again! What follows is her words:

seeking a long term rental home in #Umeå (SE), flat, townhouse, house, 2-3 rooms

I'm not gonna waste words on things you all know. We're fighting a defensive war. But you should know the extent of their fighting.

People depressed enough to be unable to work for years are making Molotov cocktails.

Kids are helping make masking nets for the army - proof: https://t.me/insiderUKR/22367

Homeless people are collecting bottles for Molotovs.

We have more people willing to fight than equipment, and more money to spend via charities than equipment we can buy.

@aral 2/ Also with all this mudslinging at Mozilla that I see going around here, what I DON'T see is a "so go use X". IMHO the only X's that are really worth interest are forks of Firefox. (I mean, Brave? I don't think so.) By just saying "Firefox is terrible" without an accompanying "and so are Chrome and Brave, but these are some good options", people will just throw up their hands, go "everything is terrible", and just log in to their Google accounts in Chrome.

Det är väder i #Umeå.

I don't consent to downloading, executing or viewing your ads. You are not entitled to my time, my attention, my computer.

I don't care how much you want the money. How much you say you need it. If you don't want me freeloading, put a paywall; I might not pay, but I don't object to being denied a webpage. I object to ads.

There are no acceptable or ethical ads. Ads are distractions, annoyances, disruptions. They interfere with people's work, fun, mental health.

Happy new year. I don't know about you, but I've been using Linux as the sole operating system on my personal desktop and laptop computers since 1992, so this promises to yet year 30 of Linux on the desktop for me.

I've just renewed my yearly support to @conservancy as a sustainer of their work. If you care about digital software freedoms, I recommend you support their work as well: https://sfconservancy.org/sustainer/
