Because #BotsInSpace is shutting down (😢) I'm looking for a new home for my bots.
I have an RSS feed which posts to BlueSky…
And I have Bridgy which converts BSky to Fediverse…
So… Welcome @openbenches.org !
(This is an experiment. Feedback welcome. I might try self-hosting. Not sure yet. I don't know how to move followers across.)
Hmmm. About 1,000 followers have moved over to the new account - @colours
I can see my messages being sent. But they don't seem to be received. Not entirely sure what's going on and am half a bottle of Malbec into the evening, so probably shouldn't be futzing around with code.
One for the morning, I fear!
OK. What is going on here?
A bunch of people can see the posts sent out by @colours - but lots of people can't.
As far as I can see, Mastodon.social isn't sending me back an HTTP response when I send to a shared inbox. But other Mastodon-based servers happily accept it.
Here are the headers

I am not hopeful. I am quite sad.
Elon Musk essentially bought the election when he bought Twitter.
Journalists could have left Twitter, and had it go the way of MySpace. Instead, they continued to legitimize it, thereby giving it life.
For the next four years, decentralized social media will be needed – if only as an alternative to the faux-progressive media that seek to control the public square.
The world is becoming more and more authoritarian, and we need an antidote.

Here's how you can move to germany, even if you have no official credentials (like a university degree) or job that can get you a sponsored visa.
Germany is not perfect. We have our own fascism issues, but we didn't just elect someone who openly paraphrases hitler as supreme leader.
Step 1: Start studying for german B1 language level. Duolingo can get you there, I also heard good things about babbel and other apps.
Step 2: Find an apprenticeship. Apprenticeships in Germany are weird compared to the rest of the world. It's a mostly full time job with a bad wage that is supposed to train you how to do a job. Finding one, if you have B1 language skills, entitles you to a work permit for the duration of it, completing one entitles you to a settlement permit.
I did an apprenticeship in IT, but there's many options. Healthcare is one of the options with the best chances of getting hired and it pays pretty well compared to others. If you don't mind waking up early, bakeries often receive not a single application for their apprenticeship postings.
I would recommend you to not go into the major cities, as their immigration offices are overworked and rent is too high to pay from an apprentice wage.
Step 3: Finish the apprenticeship and apply for a settlement permit
Step 4: Congrats, you can now live in germany as long as you want and work in any industry
Step 5: After 3-5 years (depending on how well you do at work or how good your language skills are) you can apply for citizenship. If you get that, you can live and work in any EU country.

Os leo a algunas a tope con Europa y, bueno, si hablamos como Unión Europea justo ahora más que nunca están con unas políticas migratorias de mierda, por ejemplo. Por no hablar de la vergüenza que han dado con el tema de Israel.
Que sí, que comparado con USA vamos a ser un bastión de lo que sea, pero...
En fin, dejo de desahogarme, perdonad 😒

Apropos of nothing at all, did you know that it is relatively easy for Americans to move to the Netherlands under the DAFT (Dutch American Friendship Treaty)? Check out my immigration lawyer's website:

the android toolchain is something alright.
I love (/s) constantly having to ask google to fix nondeterministic output produced by their toolchain (or building workarounds in cases that's possible) to make reproducible builds for android work.
half the time it's bugs deep in some compiler code I have no idea how to even find, the other half is me having to explain to them what their own code is doing so they can apply my proposed fix.
honestly this. I know I probably will never truly understand how you or others are feeling, but I still look at this and I'm a mess myself even though I personally for my own health have not much to worry about yet.
And I know it's not true in the long term, but yeah....
I wished people weren't like this and sadly I have to say "us people", because white folks are constantly messing this up and making it an issue for everybody else.
It will do you no good to pay close attention to the vote count tonight (or tomorrow).
It *will* do a lot of harm to publicly voice despair and expectation of an Orange Shitbag win.
Read a book. Watch a movie. Go to sleep. Read the news 2 days from now. And in the meantime, keep your negativity to yourself.
People have enough to worry about as it is, without being taken on a pointless roller coaster ride of premature election results coverage and ill-informed speculation.
BTW if you are a U.S. voter, and you try to vote today, and you are denied because of problems with your registration, be aware you may cast a provisional ballot. They put it in an envelope and count it later.
- HOW DO I DO THIS?
Ask the poll workers.
- WHAT IF THEY WON'T HELP?
- HOW DO I KNOW IF I'M ELIGIBLE?
- HOW DO I FOLLOW UP AFTERWARD?
I made an effort to research this and the only answer I can find is "call the Democrats". The Democratic Party runs a national hotline at 833-336-8683.
