About - Snipe.Net I started and maintain a free open source IT asset management application called Snipe IT, and wrote a silly browser plugin called Downworthy that got a bit of press in early 2014. I also run a funny ...

Hi, I’m snipe (prev. @snipeyhead on the bad site.) I live in Lisbon, 🇵🇹 with my terrible husband @uberbrady.com, our two rotten dogs & one awesome cat. I run @snipeitapp.com, a FOSS asset management system, and often skeet about:

This question inspired me to convert my list of women in tech to a starter pack. go.bsky.app/Er68jwV

my favourite code comment to leave is "if this part looks complicated that's because it is"

US map with the 10 states highlighted

If you live in one of these 10 states (AZ, TX AR, MS, FL, GA, TN, KY, IN, OH), today is THE LAST DAY you can register to vote. Even if you think you're registered already, double check to see if your registration is still active. Please do this, it only takes a few minutes. Pass it on.

White women: Answer The Call! Showing up for Kamala Harris. Thursday July 25, virtual meeting, 8:30pm EST. Additional details to follow. All are welcome to attend.

Ok “good white women” here’s your opportunity to DEMONSTRATE all those antiracist AND anti-Black skills y’all have been developing

Remember, you have no expertise regarding the lived experiences of Black women so job is to AMPLIFY AND PROTECT…stay in your lane!

Fit Note Reform: call for evidence

Hey Brits! Please share around!

The Govt has an open call for evidence on their proposed changes to fit notes.

This is open to disabled people, carers and medical professionals. It's open until 8th July.

Cheers for the list!
I was following most of them already but managed to add a few.

Same, I've been looking for more tech content here but haven't yet found a good feed for it.

Makes sense if people are keeping it more to the fediverse!
May be it will build out over time.

I don't feel like I've found the tech portions of Bluesky yet.

I have a few folks I'm following in software engineering but not really posting on that. Maybe that's a feature, but curious if anyone else has a feed or particular folks they enjoy in that space.

Intro to Bluesky privacy: (drawing of unlocked padlock) 1. Your Bluesky acct is PUBLIC (as of yet there is NO priovate option) 2. There are NO private messages (drawing of letters "DM" with no sign through them) (drawing of round face behind brick wall) 3. Blocks are PUBLIC (people aren't notified when you block them, but your block list info is available for public search) (drawing of snake tempting round face person saying "yesss look up who blocked you") (drawing of round face with fingers in ears) 4. Mutes are Private but... 5. Mute Lists are PUBLIC you can follow others' mute lists and/or make your own by going to Moderation --> Mute Lists

I made another page about Privacy on here, not exhaustive, but a good intro, I think :)

I would just try again later and contact support as above if you still get the error. Or if you're on the app have a go from desktop / a different browser and see if it makes a difference.

We try. This reply might be 2hrs late :p

Hey, welcome!

I'm then yaml signalling to make my way into the tech cluster

wow, it was cool how we had a global network where one could pretty easily access almost all human knowledge for a while

but it had to make way for something more important: the egos of shitty little men in tech

Threads Has Lost More Than 80% of Its Daily Active Users Two separate data analysis firms say the Twitter killer from Instagram has unraveled even as Meta has rushed to add highly requested features.

LOL. LMAO.

I will never not be totally entranced by feathers 🪶

It doesn't feel that long ago when it was a cozy 20k!

That sounds great! I was literally swiping up on the profiles to try and get a full view until I realised it didn't work like that 🤣

testing some updates to the app I’m pumped to get in

- profile preview can be swiped up and it magically becomes the full profile view
- posts get cached locally now so they load much faster when you open a thread

Not Doge But X Token: Elon Musk's $X Token Confirmed in Latest Twitter Dev Version - CaptainAltcoin Elon Musk’s long-rumored $X token for Twitter seems to be making its way to reality, according to a detailed thread from renowned trader and technical analysis expert, Cycl0p, also known by his Twit...

So instead of paying Xitter content creators actual money, it looks like Musk is going to give them a brand new cryptocurrency which Xitter will mint and issue.

This will be a financial regulatory quagmire, managed by a company which got in trouble for placing a sign on its roof.

Here in tech bro world we have so many innovations for you to try:

Expensive unregulated taxi
Expensive unregulated hotel
Picture of monkey (formerly valuable)
Imaginary restaurant that serves bad food
Imaginary scam money
Twitter but it sucks now (in 12 different flavors!)
