@dansup@pixelfed Good times. Did this Fediverse talk in Phnom Penh, big tech meetings are _slowly_ starting to come back after Pando time. For sure there'll be more sharing to come. :)

This but for meta 🤣 jokes aside I’m eagerly awaiting their entry to the fediverse with caution.
Let’s hope for the best and prepare for the worst, but most of all, let’s not forget we’re all in this together and we all want the same thing more or less, freedom and control over our social presence ❤️
@dansup You did. The color palette gives people a hint what to expect, while the circular nature means the image isn’t getting cut off when used in spots that get trimmed to that. It’s simple, but effective. The others could have worked, and some probably just as well or close enough, but this one clearly isn’t the wrong choice, and that, combined with what I’ve said above, makes it the right one. 😄
"We have enormous freedom. That’s not a gift that was given to us, it’s a legacy that was left to us by centuries of struggle. By centuries of people that most of whose names are completely forgotten, the ones who created the freedom and the rights we now have, and that will be taken away unless you constantly defend them."
@dansup same kind of story. Quit school at 19. Had a business for 6 years which was mainly a hobby because I was too lazy to study. Did that and some receptionist and pub work for 10 years, then got a professional dev job via hobbies. All I've achieved after that is due to open source portfolio and self learning.
@dansup if it's any consolation, I completed high school but technically failed (I still graduated, but my grade was 45%): me learning how to code during highschool & pouring energy into opensource got me jobs, and highschool is all but irrelevant now (apart from in anxiety/stress dreams)
So you're maybe not missing as much as you might think!
