@DeveloperMemes bad idea but sometimes tempting

@dreamerchris @fosstodon You can sign up yourself by requesting an invite and writing a little about why you want to join.

I've decided to move to the @fosstodon #Mastodon instance. The name came up plenty of times before, I've read good things and I recently learnt profits go to #FOSS projects - plenty of which I rely on and love. This is something I want to get behind as a FOSS advocate. I only wish #crypto donations were accepted. Hopefully the move goes as smoothly as last time.

@freddy @fosstodon thanks for the tip. I was made aware of it the situation when reading the recent PI post.

So far #Codecademy has served me well. The practical approach and balance of reading, #coding and reviewing others' questions works well. After a year or more of bouncing from one language to the next for various hobbyist projects, my sights are locked on #JavaScript. My career transition to #developer depends on it. Would be interested to hear your own stories, what's helped you etc.

I'm after Mastodon instance recommendations in case I need to move soon. My interests are pretty obvious if you check out my profile: #FOSS #privacy #security #decentralisation #development

Boosts appreciated. Thanks in advance.

"A planned relaxation of rules governing the use of stop-and-search without an officer needing reasonable suspicion was described by Johnson as a “loving” thing to do: “I think that giving the police the backing that they need in law to stop someone, to search them, to relieve them of a dangerous weapon, I don’t think that’s strong-arm tactics, I think that’s a kind and a loving thing to do,” he said." 🤔
