Hey, ya’ll. You don’t have to do Mastodon at mastodon.social. That’s the beauty of the software. You can sign up at one of hundreds of servers — and still follow any of the people on any of the other servers. Amazing. In fact, arguably it’s *better* to not be there.

@DrAmyPsyD My cat just gave me the dirtiest look!

Please say "good morning" to your dog from me 💜

@myrtti ello, even. Damned autocorrect!

@myrtti Not so much Elmo, but Diaspora certainly. And Diaspora-X: github.com/bnolan/diaspor…

Btw who remembers ello and Diaspora?

@thockin Yep, I hear that fairly commonly in the UK. Maybe it's just a reflection of the circles I hang out in, or my family, but it's usually something like: “They're nothing if not consistent.” if someone keeps doing stupid, despicable or otherwise unfathomable things.

Today I said something like "he's nothing if not smart" and I got some funny looks from American-English-as-second-dialect speakers, which made me realize what a strange idiom that is. Is that common across the US? UK? AU?

Cantabile Choir's Christmas programme has been announced! This always feels like the start of Christmas proper for me, and sets the mood for the festive period.

@rockstar_ Likewise, my friend. Sorry to hear your news.

@jamestait0 Thanks for checking. Networks are really all we have these days, and it gives me warm fuzzies to have you in mine,

Hi friends! I'm in the market for new employment! I've been doing rust/go and language design and database read path work for the last few years. I'm also heavy in python dev. Would be interested what's out there.

@DwdDave @MovimNetwork I think Goffi was working on a gateway, funded at least in part by a grant from nlnet.

Hey, @MovimNetwork folks - does Movim talk ActivityPub, and can it federate with Mastodon? If not, how hard would a gateway be? Where would it live architecturally?

@rockstar_ Sorry, I was wrong — we're not currently hiring in the US.

@rockstar_ I'll check and make absolutely sure, but we're remote first and already have employees dotted around the globe, including South America; I see no reason why we'd exclude the US.

@popey We have a few ex-warthogs here, too. If there's anything of interest let me know and I can set up a referral.

@popey careers.ebury.com may have something for you.

@DrAmyPsyD My team are absolutely awesome. Smart, committed people who rise to the challenge every single day, and always have each other's back, and have open, passionate discussions that raise us all up. Every day is different, we're always learning.

What do you enjoy about your job?

Prophetic words

Yup. Spoken like @ManUtd fans everywhere.
