If you follow me, you have a sense of humour. If you're reading this, you're a reader. I’ve put this story online, free, gratis and for nothing, it's a twelve minute read. If you like it, maybe you’ll be curious enough to risk 99p for one of my short story collections. Maybe you’ll be smart enough to save some money by buying a compilation. Maybe you’ll be brave enough to buy my novel. Whatever happens, I hope you enjoy ‘Vincent'. http://aarondavid.co.uk/Vincent.html #freeread #shortstory #funny #pleaseboost

#FunnyImagine being held at gunpoint (bear with me) by a literate animal, and the only hope of rescue is (BEAR WITH ME) posting a coded message on Mastodon.

I think I found my side project in 2026. Not anything related to my work and to science, that’s how I burned myself last time. Not a software project per se, but a data project.There are a lot of open and public data about the Irish government/companies/etc.(not enough for sure), and a lot of information in the press (if we are being generous with them during this holidays season).There are few stories/issues that I am interested in and I want to help shed a light on them with the data available. Especially around healthcare, and how I think we will never have a NHS-like healthcare system here (fellow French people, don’t come at me, a *well funded* NHS-like system is way superior to the public insurance system we have in France).It will definitely feel make me more useful to the Irish community I am not really part of even after 10+ years living here…#ireland #data

I love that on the Fediverse thinking "this is such good moss content" and "wow, these mushrooms are really cool" is totally normal. 🍄‍🟫🌱#Fediverse

Ist ja bald Weihnachten, darf ich mir für 2026 was für's #Fediverse wünschen? Ich wünsche mir, dass nächstes Jahr die Durchsättigung von Mastodon im Fediverse auf unter 20% sinkt. Wichtig: ich will nicht, dass es weniger Mastodon gibt. Ich will, dass es mehr gibt, von allem anderen. Ich wünsche mir, dass Menschen mehr Content ins Fediverse stellen. Blogs. Ganz viele Blogs. Ob mit write.as oder mit AP für WordPress oder (man kann ja träumen) mit Hule, egal. Aber mehr davon. Ich wünsche mir, dass der ÖRR endlich seine Mediatheken und seine von uns finanzierten Formate statt nur auf YouTube und Instagram/TikTok auch auf von den ÖRR betriebenen PeerTube Instanzen bereitstellt. Die Mediatheken sind schon Bandbreiten- und CPU-Fresser, PeerTube wäre da sogar "gesünder" für den Verbrauch. Ich wünsche mir, dass es mehr wertvolle Formate aus dem DE und EN YouTube Space in das Fediverse schaffen, weil Werbepartner die Wichtigkeit sehen und sehen, dass wir hier nicht alle Hatefluencer sind, die jegliches Gewinnmotiv ablehnen sondern Ausbeutung. Ich wünsche mir, dass es mehr Software gibt, die ActivityPub als Primärprotokoll statt als "nettes Wochenendprojekt" unter ferner liefen unterstützt. Ich wünsche mir, dass statt "ja, ist scheiße aber ist nicht US-Silo" wir endlich "ist besser als US-Silo" sagen können. Ich wünsche mir, dass die Parteien und Gruppierungen, die im Fediverse "aktiv" sind, von Beschallung auf Konversation, Interaktion, und Diskurs wechseln. Und dass Accounts, die das nicht machen, halt im Orkus verschwinden. Ich wünsche mir, dass Menschen mehr Boosts verwenden und wir von 38:1 auf 1:38 wechseln, damit Menschen der Algorithmus werden. Dass Alternativen zu Hacker News oder Reddit endlich mainstream werden. Oder Kurz: ich wünsche mir, wie oben erwähnt, ein "ist geiler als Silos" statt ein "ist nicht so gut, aber halt kein Silo". Aber wünschen kann man sich viel.

Eh, pls #boost my request to #getfedihired, if you could spare two clicks? 🥺 I've been humming and hawing about posting this, it feels strange, something about generational guilt & working class shame & ... but it's either this or start putting my CV through LLMs to include every buzzword on the listing I'm applying to. I haven't been able to stomach that, even though I presume that's a lot of my competition.I simply can't get to an interview. Historically, I've done three interviews and got the job each time, because I'm a real human being who is friendly and chatty and presents himself sincerely (or, that's my guess, anyway).#Christmas miracles appreciated!In #Ireland with my partner, but we've lived in different places and would move happily. I've a year experience doing an IT support role the last year, but have transitioned to this stuff later than usual. Before I've done: bartender; bicycle courier for Deliveroo in #Berlin for two years (best job ever); private tutor for five years in #Lyon (mostly piano but also maths, Irish, English, flute, tin whistle); bookies clerk for a short period; a few other odd bits - one highlight was writing reviews for a theatre company.Oh, very comfortably fluent in #French, pretty fluent in #Irish (my first love), and intermediate #German (which I would love to have a chance to go back speaking and learning).Tech-wise, it's been mostly on the #Linux / #Emacs / #Lisp side of things. I would happily work on anything that is one or more of challenging, interesting, useful, or moral.Money doesn't rule me. I want to live with a humane level of comfort, that's all.CVs and references available, DMs open. Thanks so much for any and all help!

I've only had this account on the fediverse/mastodon for 3 years, yet I've had more weird hate than at any other time I've been online except possibly USENET in the 1990s and Twitter in the 2010s when I was tweeting favorably about Occupy. People here have suggested I'm lying more times than I remember. I mean dang, it's fine to disagree with someone but you don't need to besmirch their character. If this were the 18th century we'd be dueling.I tend to speak my mind because I'm of the opinion that the Abilene paradox should not be a lifestyle, and that's gotten me some IRL hate over the years. But given what I've experienced here and how I've seen others treated, I'd say Mastodon really is something special in this regard.#online #mastodon #fediverse
