The residency permit criteria regarding job status, salary thresholds and eligibility etc, do not have a section about how "welcoming" a place is.

Mine went funny today and showed me new posts, then 12 day old posts, all 12d exactly... thought that was weird, but maybe that's the fallback because I removed Discover from my feeds.

US politics surnames, almost every hashtag, the tech bros, UK TV shows... The only downside is that images get through if people don't alt text, or when people do 'fun' misspellings.

I've never heard it in real life. I think it can depend on your circles. If you're in with cockwomble/hollibobs people, they probably do this.

My first gig 🩷

We have a finite amount of time to spend thinking while on this earth and I am very resentful of how much of it has been monopolized by the whims of a demented old real estate scumbag

saw a job post for an intern role and it wants skills in half a dozen different fields, at least 3 of which you could get a degree in, with "minimal supervision", and i'm sorry but it sounds less like you want an intern and more like you want someone with lots of experience who can't find a job

Screenshot of the bloody 'go live' button, which features a notification badge.

If UI/UX imposter syndrome strikes, I can just log in here and see that someone on a popular app thought plonking this on every profile, regardless of any intention to 'go live', was a good idea.

So your top tip is "earn less than the minimum wage" 👍

The Doomsday Machine that is our university funding system will destroy everything in the end. First it destroys individual lives, then social mobility, then most universities, followed by the structure of income tax and the pension system. In the end it could threaten to destroy the economy itself.

The rest of Europe has plenty of ideas.

It's surprising how many times in a dev career, not even in game development, that you have to say "OK, great feature, and how do we stop them doing the inevitable?"

Oh, sorry, did we vote for him?

It's like travelling through an alternate dimension 😂

Politicians: don't use AI to make your maps.

Feels like Piccadilly is that far from the Airpont, to be fair

Christ on a cracker, I thought everyone was making some sort of light-hearted January/Gym joke.

"hm is it nostalgia or were you just a child" no we're literally talking about things used daily that worked a few years ago, not how Wagon Wheels seemed really big in our toddler hands.

"A software developer, gosh - I didn't know you had that sort of thing up there."

I subscribe to a mute list of which auto-blocks anyone who is following over 10k accounts.

Pimsleur to get me talking, and TV/music for immersion.

I have the textbooks for when I want to torture myself a bit.

My friend and I played this together over the phone, wire trailing across the room making parents cross. We'd click through at the same time and decide where we'd go next and what choices to make. Homemade multiplayer, we were ahead of our time!

Let’s not let our analysis stop at the goonerism of it all. I’m begging for our view of this to be wider than some guy’s stained pants.

It’s a labour weapon. A missile to bomb us out of public life. One email to a boss and a woman loses her job, her income, and her independence. That’s the point.

Recipe writers! If you find yourself writing "cornstarch slurry", stop.

This is the other excellent game I played. The music, the beautiful graphics and look/feel, the sidequests, the small moments of joy that make up a summer, an era. I am really looking forward to seeing what these guys do next.

When I learned that I'd have to describe my job with "desarrolladora" I decided I'd just say I worked in an office instead.
