The key phrase there "if they are over 18".
And how do adults prove that?
By being forced to hand over their data to a commercial entity to get a "Digital ID".
This stinks.

@diffrentcolours No password should be considered secure without a final exclamation mark.

@mattblaze@federate.social So the camera comes with additional gubbins to reverse engineer the output from the camera to figure out a rather crucial setting the camera was on which it can't access directly?
@GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social BBC "News" has not been fit for purpose for quite some time now.

For clarity, is this post aimed at recruiters, or exceptional backend engineers?
For I am one, but not the other.
Self-hosted gitlab is once more in my immediate future.
Protomolecule.
WTF?

For someone who's never had nor craved any significant social media presence, today has been a difficult day for me. I'm an introvert and quite happy to exist in the relative shadows. I churn out wonderful masterpieces of code that no one will ever see, and few will ever use. I'm ok with that. My motivation is the joy and the challenge of creation.
But when the code represents what you hope will become a (at least moderately) successful commercial venture, it's time to get out of the comfort zone.
I'm back on LinkedIn after a period of glorious absence.
It's been hell.
I'm a backend dev/systems guy who got thrust into management and found I was quite good at it but never particularly enjoyed it, and now, today, I'm launching a new business. And I've got to market it and sell it. I hate doing that.
But other than hopefully making a liveable living, this is something I genuinely believe in - I'm a dev helping devs step up in their careers and promote their professional skills - so time for me to step up!
UK-based developers, designers, software engineers; full stack, frontend, backend or mobile: Looking for work?
There's a new resource to build your public profile to showcase your skills, experiences and accomplishments and have recruiters and employers come to you!
I've just soft-launched DevCapital to start building the database of knowledge workers actively seeking contract or PAYE work, before the serious marketing to recruiters begins.
Get in early and it's 100% free for you for life!
Retoots much appreciated!

@nixCraft@mastodon.social And then there's WoodpeckerCI, which is an excellent and free, self-hosted alternative to GitHub Actions - but does, unfortunately, require GitHub web hooks, and therefore (at least a mirror) on GitHub itself.
