i'm unofficially officially consulting/freelancing. will put in my notice at work at some point this week but... i just can't keep doing it, working on and with systems i find repugnant, for shareholder profit... so ya heard it here first - Iris Lightshard, LightCrystal Systems - open for business. I'm looking for all sorts of contract work, not just software but also UI/HCI, graphic design, network infra, IT org consulting, etc. in the meantime while i look for paid work i'm primarily working on dollctl

A reminder that if you're advocating for the use of LLMs, you're advocating funding a surveillance state. You pay for tokens, you evangelize the tools, the companies behind them make money, that money circulates until hits a project, contract, etc. that aids in the surveillance and oppression of others. Do not participate in laundering ethics and morality.

just fyi im working on a devops/cloudops dashboard for self hosted clouds - informed by enterprise grade tools but taking a permacomputing design approach, and the primary blocker is burnout and time due to my dayjob. if i got donations to support my work, i could yknow, do it full time

I am planing to have the app have a Windows-95 looking interface once its done! I got polling of the last song and pause/play working! Will most likely setup next/prev track buttons, then add the ability to select a playlist and toggle shuffle-mode! https://git.sr.ht/~angelwood/marmalade
