#hello Bluesky world!

I’m Carmen, a #software #engineer interested in many nerdy things - #linux #rust #zig #typescript #wasm #fp #programming #osdev #pldev.

I also play #games like #factorio #octopath #bg3 #noita #hades #valorant #roa

I’ll also throw in #coffee #trains #urbanism #trans #lgbt
It’d be awesome if Zig’s migration to Codeberg also meant the trunk branch would be renamed `main`

More and more people reporting today that Stripe - the payment processor that Itch said were putting the most pressure on them - now have staff actively confirming that yes, they are censoring LGBT content, adult or otherwise. That this is official company policy.

This seems kinda significant.

Switching to a light year-based version of the metric system just to spice things up

frustrating things:
- voice training
- applying to jobs
- doing chores
- getting rejected from jobs with no feedback
- biological maintenance
- when you finally get feedback about your resume it ends up looking drastically different

The real reason there’s no Midnight Mass season 2 is cause it’d be too political for Netflix tbh

The real reason nobody in the US is rioting is because there’s no English translation of Bella Ciao

“Correlation isn’t causation” I scream without wanting to think about whether the 2 statistics are related
Increase in productivity since 1979: 86%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 31%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.
