It's been a fun almost 14 years @Twitter since @gplama brought me here. Sorry your new overlord crashed and burned you.

If you want to use this, you'll probably have to do it before Twitter closes their API behind a paywall on Feb 9th.

Nice tool to help migrate to Mastodon: fedifinder.glitch.me

Looks like Muskrat is completely tanking this, so relocating to @phs@aus.social

Please buy Facebook, Elon.

Well it looks like the Musk Rat has abolished third-party clients from Twitter API, so I'll be mostly MIA until and if he realizes what a dumb idea that is. There's no way in hell I'm using the official client.

@shiftygeek Yep, Australian. National Police Check == $42: afp.gov.au/what-we-do/nat…

Requiring a police background check to be submitted with a job application should be illegal. Applicants should not be out of pocket just to apply for your job.

@Ollytheninja @kyhwana Same. My wife is looking for a position in a narrow field, and the custom application form won't let you apply without uploading the ~AU$50 report with your cover letter, CV etc.

@shiftygeek I've had to in the past, and for my current employ, but only after being actually employed, or at least short listed. And yeah, never had to pay it myself out of pocket.

Imagise how good your life would be if you had a 26yo surnisg annintast by your nide

"Its first aircraft, VH-UJT, was named Shazza; its second, VH-UIK, Bazza; and its third, VH-UJK, Sheila." Love it 🤣

So much drama on the @linuxaustralia mail list of late. Highlights the exact reason I'm a passive observer and don't get involved, although I'm tempted to just walk away all together. It's embarrassing.

Damn, this resonates 1000% with me. The *application* of new technology generally sucks. Old man yells at cloud - jonandnic.com/2023/01/08/old…
