The #RemoteJobs doc is updated with a couple dozen roles in the last 3 weeks: https://cryptpad.fr/doc/#/2/doc/view/o8kgHv1xOnelmHzfCGuKuG9a5XgkJEN6u0IbZP7jfOg/
I recently switched from Google Docs to Cryptpad, the hyperlinks were a little buggy at first but seem to be working now (let me know if you run into any issues)

I have COVID, now what?
You can still stop the spread of the virus
Reduce the likelihood of infecting others in your household by isolating yourself as soon as possible, improving air circulation, and encouraging everyone to wear masks. People who test positive for COVID are contagious for at least 10 days . After this period, another COVID test is recommended.
Avoid leaving home as much as possible. If you have an emergency or something that you cannot postpone, wear an N95/RN95/FPP2 mask.
(A PCR test may be required to obtain disability benefits or due to long-term persistent COVID )
Hydration
Dehydration is linked to developing long COVID so stay hydrated!
Rest
The risk of developing long COVID is higher in people who do not get adequate rest . Avoid exercise or physical activity during infection and in the weeks afterward. Rest and pacing yourself are essential to treating chronic fatigue syndrome, a common symptom of long COVID
Learn about Long COVID.
At least 50% of COVID infections are asymptomatic.
At least 10% of infections end in long COVID.

Long COVID is a set of health issues after someone has COVID-19. These could be: new health issues, ongoing issues, or worsening of previous symptoms or conditions. Long COVID is a biological disease that affects hundreds of millions of people around the world. It can cause significant disability and can be fatal. It is a continuing health crisis.
Learn about Long COVID.
Long COVID is an umbrella term that generally refers to symptoms which persist more than three months after a COVID infection.
It’s critical to note that Long COVID can affect any and all organ systems in the body. It can impact the heart, lungs, digestive system, pancreas, brain, kidneys, liver, and more. It can harm the immune system. For this reason, the damage SARS-COV-2 can leave behind in a body may seem random, strange, or hard to believe.

• Remember: covid is not over, 50% of infections are asymptomatic, minimum 10% of infections end up in long COVID, re-infections wreck us, COVID spreads and moves like cigarette smoke, think of the people around you and you as people who are all day smoking, it becomes more visual to understand how COVID moves.
• There is no way to “train” the immune system because it is not a muscle. there is a common misconception that exposure to harmful germs strengthens the immune system. viral diseases like COVID, flu, measles weaken the immune system, leaving the possibility of lasting damage. The reality is that you don't build your immunity with repeated infections, vaccines strengthen the immune system by teaching it to recognize pathogens without all the risks. Focusing on infection prevention is key.
• Rapid antigen tests give many false negatives.
• Solving the pandemic was never in the cards for the capitalist world.
• Instead, the explicit goal of the ruling class has been to make the pandemic simply disappear from public perception. Any reminder of the existence of a highly-transmissible, highly-dangerous, mass-disabling disease could trigger panic, or worse: organized, militant labor action. Averting this crisis required a careful campaign of culture-crafting; the people themselves needed to become convinced that there was no reason to fight. Consent for protracted mass infection needed to be manufactured.
“The cold truth of the matter is that the motive behind COVID minimization is greed and social control. (…) Solving the pandemic was never in the cards for the capitalist world. Instead, the explicit goal of the ruling class has been to make the pandemic simply disappear from public perception.” Let Them Eat Plague! http://clarion.unity-struggle-unity.org/

I've been wearing these shoes for a little over a year now. Pretty much every time I meet someone new, I get asked if they're one pair or two. I ask them to guess
If you'd asked me a year ago how I thought the answers would split, I'd have said 90/10 in the correct direction. But having let several hundred people guess, it splits about 50/50
I put the answer in the alt text

Okay people, no one has reached out to try Kagi for free for three months.
I get it, they do pay Brave for some of their search results, and Brave absolutely sucks. I personally wish they would cut Brave loose as well, but But Kagi is still the best search experience I have seen in years. No "free" search can hold a candle to it, and I need decent search.
So here, free for all. This code will apparently work three times. Have at it.
Tomorrow we'll release a new #Holos version that fixes notification filtering and the mentions bug. The counter bug will also be resolved. Thanks for the feedback!

Dave Winer, @davewDave Winer ☕️ is basically the inventor of RSS and I take the chance to mention him as I am doing my best to be an RSS advocate with my own possibilities and limits, even with non-technical people who don't understand why I insist in "so complex things" when "commercial platforms give you everything in an instant".
I talked about ActivityPub and RSS during my last WordCamp, Pisa -Italy- 22nd November 2025. Italian, unfortunately; I'll share my talk when it's out on WordPress TV but I fear there won't be English subtitles.
But I limited what I wanted to say because a word could violate WordPress's code of conduct.
It's nothing obscene, it's the metaphoric name of an anchor-stone. But in Venice they call it "coion", like the vulgar word for testicle. It's basically a round stone structure which firmly anchors the arch of a bridge, to its vertical support. It's invisible to human eyes, people even don't know it exists. But it allows Venetian bridges to resist for centuries. It's fundamental. But if for a reason or another it becomes visible, it means that the bridge is damaged.
Same way of a linchpin for a wheel.
This word is even used for a person. When someone is essential for a community, determines its success too, but if they get attention or ask for visibility, they could even become an obstacle. Or they are treated as such. No idea if the word corresponding to "coion" for a person has the same idea in English. I have found "moron" but I don't know if it's the same.
Basically, when you are important and have not a very strong personality, so you let others treat you as invisible, they consider you as always available, always granted. And treat you badly if you raise your hand and say "I'm here too"; they immediately send you back to your place.
RSS is treated the same: many of commercial platform users don't even know about its existence but without RSS, no newspaper or whatever social pages sharing news automatically, could fetch contents.
I agree with Dave when he says that RSS is more important than ActivityPub. Simply RSS can work without ActivityPub but often not vice-versa.

This will be a long post. The satire snake flags I've collected over the years. Just borrowed one from

You know that saying, "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time," that is supposed to represent how big tasks can be accomplished in small steps?
I think about the times when I go into hyper-focus mode and churn out thousands of words in a day or complete a months-long project in a weekend, and I wonder if I'm more like a snake, unhinging my jaw and just inhaling the whole thing at once.

“ICE or migra watch is a practice that grew out of the community defense strategies developed by the Black Panthers in the late 1960s, which inspired cop-watching across the country. It is most visible on the streets, where pairs or teams document law enforcement in their own neighborhoods.” https://newrepublic.com/article/204225/chicago-neighborhood-resistance-ice-immigration
