winning 100,000 internet arguments about why Linux is better than Windows or why FOSS is superior or why enshittification is bad
is still worse than helping one (1) non-technical person install Linux on their machine that can’t run Windows 11. or helping them install and learn to use LibreOffice because they can’t afford Office 365. or teaching them how to disable the spyware and adware on their Windows machine
for every person who’s staunchly anti-FOSS, there’s someone trying Linux for the first time and overwhelmed by driver issues, or someone who simply doesn’t know how to find good free software, or someone who wants to learn photo editing and can’t afford Photoshop
so don’t be pushy or smug or argumentative towards those who have already made up their minds. be informative and helpful to those who are open to help. tell them what their options are and be ready to provide support if things go wrong

in general I'm just looking for people who create custom physical items (whether that's traditional art, sculptural works, etc) who might be done in time for Christmas -- would like to purchase all my Christmas gifts from indie sources this year. please advertise at me, or let me know if you know anyone else who has commissions open! I have no budget.
notably I am in the US if that makes a difference wrt anything

I'm looking for my next software or data engineering role after a recent layoff from Barnacle Systems. That's startup life; I wish the team every success.
I'm a senior software engineer with ten years of experience doing web dev and data engineering work.
I'm particularly interested in:
* Energy transition, climate mitigation/adaptation, and forecasting
* Infrastructure and tooling that supports domain experts
* Mission-driven organizations in health, education, or climate
Open to full-time, contract, or fractional work.
If you're hiring or know someone who is, let's talk!

@Turq I did think of modding Doom into Doom, so you could have a Computer in Doom that you could play Doom on.
(and obviously you could play Doom on the computer inside Doom you, so you can nest them.)

Hello Masto-peeps who use screen readers!
I just learned that I need to put alt text on URLs for more accessible PDFs, but -- what should it say?
I am formatting academic citations that include a URL, so all the information about where that link will take you is in the text. I don't want it to read the URL to you and I don't want to just repeat the same information you just heard. What do you find most helpful in this situation?
Pls boost for reach!

@WeirdWriter Ooh, maybe I do? Maybe the higher ups who have given me this list don't know enough to know they are using the wrong terms? I certainly don't know if it's the wrong term, myself!
I feel like I know a lot about making a web page accessible, but much less about making PDFs accessible. I think I'm going to have to get on Duck Duck Go and see if I can find a good PDF-focused accessibility resource.
Thank you for letting me know your preference! It's very helpful!
