I just signed the campaign calling to save our swifts, by calling for the UK Government to follow Scotland's lead and make it the law for all new houses to be built with "swift bricks" - safe places for these birds to nest. Will you join me?act.38degrees.org.uk

"Our skies get quieter every summer: from 1995 to 2023, the UK swift population declined by 68%. “It is a pretty consistent decline,” says the RSPB’s migratory birds programme manager, Dr Guy Anderson, “and it’s pretty consistent wherever you look in the UK.”

What do electric buses do at night? They help balance the grid.
First Bus in Glasgow: "By flexing when buses are charged, the depots can increase demand at times when there is excess renewable energy on the system, particularly wind power in Scotland, and reduce demand during peak periods. This helps reduce the need to curtail renewable generation and supports a more efficient, flexible energy network."

I have boosted a few requests recently from people looking to find good servers to join for their friends, organizations, etc. Exciting to see the interest!
But also, is it worth talking about the tools we have for finding/recommending servers?

in reply to Mark Wyner Won’t Comply • • •Urf. I'd love to take advantage of this, but I'm hoping to skate through at least the next year or so at my current gig & then f'ing •retire•* (public sector web work).
I do find myself fantasizing about what the next thing could be, though. Something in water conservation and/or renewables.
What a trip it would be to have a job I actually •wanted•....
* Assuming ofc the economy isn't irretrievably crashed by then....
(Reminds me, I need to look at retirement numbers....)

I'll bet the process started very very early in your life. Like being allowed to believe that what you love •could• feed your family.
Or even that this could be a viable ambition....

Quite literally. We spent countless hours writing/recording music. Then we packaged it in some photo-copied garbage we whipped up. I wanted more, so I learned how to design.
Then another band-mate told me I needed to make some dough to support my new family. So he hooked me up with a computer and some software. Turned out I loved design/code a LOT. Even more than playing music. 🤷🏻♂️

This whole AI thing is really hard. AI in our space is definitely inevitable. I’m struggling with it myself. So…I guess I’m not a great person to ask because I’m just as lost as everyone else.
But, really, starting a new career—even in your 40s, or later—is absolutely possible. People do that kind of thing even way later in life.
Whatever you do, just make sure it’s something that makes you happy. That’s the path. That’s the right call.

I’m definitely no pro. I’m only a career designer/developer of over two decades who has hired many people in that time. I’m just trying to help however I can because we have to remember how to be human beings and take care of each other.
