@HippyWizard Interesting to move back from "nothing has value except reaching the goal, not even my life nor any other life, really" to "things live only once".
@MrPetovan Yeah, exactly, meditate on what the genre would do to a human

@MrPetovan I ran a League of Peoples RPG once, and the damage system would cause you to gain perks like
"Paranoid Eyes: -1 Persuasion/+1 Observation"
And I wanna experiment with that kinda thing
The ways that the idolized forms of trauma hurt you as a social creature

American company, trying to hire in Canada, for a position in its Canadian office, for its Canadian entity
Didn't like my resume because I ticked the box that said "I am not legally allowed to work in the United States and would need a visa"

Did they indicate as much to you? This is more information than I'm used seeing given for a resume rejection.
I am assuming, because it was the only question I missed and they are still trying to advertise to me

Despite community calls to freeze or cut police budgets, Waterloo Regional Police Chief Bryan Larkin said rising crime, especially violent crime, means the police force urgently needs more officers and resources. therecord.com/news/council/2…

I'm not surprised a police chief wants more resources. Every head of every department does. It's his boss' job to cut his budget. I don't know who that is, for you, locally. The mayor? City Council? Other?
It's the council, and the council is quoted in the article, but the Record should be reporting more than a paragraph reporting the councilors saying it's a bad idea or the organizations opposing it locally. And the whole paragraph just mentioning it exists
Basically, reporting should mention the context of the statement

Investigative journalism used to help tear some of it down, but we don't really have that any more, so… don't really know why I'm defending the institution, really. I haven't read anything by a journalist for over three months, and I'm still informed.
Yeah, hard to find an entry level person with a CISSP, 20 years exp who wants to work for 40k temp to hire. But yah sure “lack of talent”

The most important rule for email is to live and let live.
Other people are gonna bork up the subject lines, CC you on list mail, be overly verbose or terse, top-post, bottom-post, interleave, fullquote, forget to quote, reply too quickly, too slowly, ask too many questions, too few questions, have annoying signatures etc etc etc. That’s fine.
If we wanna get people back into email then we can’t be all shamey and gatekeepy about it.♥

A big hey! from diaspora*
You might have been wondering what happened to diaspora*. Well, although we’ve been a bit quiet, we haven’t gone away! In fact, some big things have been happening in the background that we’re really excited about, and now it’s come to the time for us to tell you about them.API
The first is our API, created with a lot of the initial work done by Kent Shikama, completed by Frank Rousseau and @Hank G ☑️, and supported by core team member @Jonne Haß. This was completed earlier this year, and it enables other applications to interact with the diaspora* software, giving a lot more flexibility in how it can be used, for instance in the creation of native diaspora* apps.Account migration
One of the key features of a decentralized social network has to be the ability to move your account data from one node (we call them ‘pods’) to another. This has proved to be one of the most difficult things to accomplish properly, and consequently it has taken a long time! The back-end code to do all the hard work was completed by in a mammoth effort, and what remains is to create a ‘front-end’ interface so that it’s easy for anyone to access the feature via the account settings page. This is currently being worked on by new member @Thorsten C with support from core team members @Fla and @Benjamin Neff 🌟. It is currently being reviewed and tested, and once this has been done we’ll be able to merge it.Next major release
Once this has been merged, we’ll be able to release a major version containing both these features, plus a lot more. This will be a big step forward for diaspora*, and we can’t wait to bring version 0.8 to you. We would really love to release this before the end of 2021, but we must make sure all bugs in the new features are ironed out before we release them, so please be patient if we can't meet that deadline!
There is always a lot more work to do, and as members of our core team have had to prioritise other areas of their work, so development of diaspora* has slowed down. But it doesn’t have to be this way. We’re an open-source project, and we’re always keen to hear from prospective coders who want to help make diaspora* better. If you want to help us, get in touch! We’ll do whatever we can to support you.

You all are welcome. I picked up where others left off, had help from the team and Frank to get up to speed on it, and it was brought to actual release status Haß. I'm glad we are seeing the fruition of it all now *and* with the account migration stuff that has been brewing for awhile as well.
Perfect! Obscuritus.ca is set to receive you!
