well, so, I was separated from my CTO position... in a way that is just not ok.
my mistake was trusting a friend, which led to verbal agreements, leaving behind 2 decades of experience dealing with corporations, where everything must be done in writing.
one lesson I did not forget was keeping evidence of everything. and I am happy that I did.
before I go later with details about what happened, let the lesson be "talking about doing business, do not trust anyone. keep every agreement in writing and signed, even if your business partner lives under the same roof as you", and IMO that is not an exaggeration.
fortunately my former business partner does not live under the same roof as myself, but has a romantic relationship with someone who does, and somehow they also became involved in the business...
Tea coming later, eventually...
as of this week, I am yet again unemployed. anyone looking for a senior software engineer?

Unemployed and Missing
The homeless woman that normally begs outside the Newmarket burger bar wasn't there today. I hope she's gone somewhere nice for her vacation. -

Unemployed?
Nobody needs to be unemployed in this country. You can always get a job sitting outside Burger bars asking for spare change. -

Sometimes people tell us to "get a job" as if it's that simple.
There are multitudinous good reasons why we:
1. Consider our work for Vulpine Labs and the local community more important than any run of the mill "job".
2. Cannot seriously be expected to attain traditional employment.
3. Shun traditional models of pay in favour of Mutual Aid.And we won't let capitalism grind us down.
Today, Atha:
Reset the mouse traps in the bus
Cleared snow off the bus and car (altitude does not care for your "seasons", mere mortals)
Got a new phone from a good friend
Set up an LELink LeafSpy OBD2 device to help diagnose and fix the car
Did some reading at the library to get back in the mood for learning PythonAnd Inara:
Did trans HRT injections
Did some cleaning and tidying
Took the car to do a slow charge session
Did some phone setup
Will likely cook food for us and a homeless friend, and do some VR.If you want to fling us some currency to keep the mardy old system at bay and fill up the bus's thirsty diesel tank, feel free to send to

The horrors persist, but so do we.
Someone who lives in a makeshift forest shelter wants to join us in the bus soon.
The Vulpibus now has an air conditioning unit fitted. We have installed a longer 4G antenna.
We almost had somewhere to go and park a while, but the landowner backed out. Again. And the convoy we are trying to form is moving along.So the bus is still in need of a diesel refueling, and the current prices make that a matter of about $400. Links below.
We would really love to convert this bus to an EV but that is going to need a much more generous level of help than most folks here can provide.
There are also many debts to deal with, including car loan and insurance, and bureaucratic needs that have fees to pay. Capitalism is ruthless the most when it is legally enforced and you still don't have the means.
If you want to help out with any specific thing, please let us know. Otherwise donations are put to the most pressing need.

Hey Fedi, the snow is starting to fall and Atha and Inara still need the funds to buy batteries and more insulation for the Vulpibus, and to pay other pressing bills. Any chance the magic of #MUTUALAID #URGENT #URGENTMUTUALAID #EMERGENCYMUTUALAID #Emergencycrowdfund can help?
We need $1380 or so ASAP!

Today's food mutual aid request has been fulfilled (yay!)
Now let's see how much of Atha's debts run up trying to survive we can pay off...
The total debts are in the region of $50-60k if you include student loans.
But the immediate needs (to avoid car repo and excessive credit card and overdraft fees) are more like $2000.What can we do to put a dent in that today?

Anyone want to give @vulpinelabs @Kuniti_shino some food and a month's worth of backlogged laundry money?
Hungry engineers and mad scientists want to be fed well and cleanly clothed for their preparations for winter!
They are bureaucratically held back from "just getting a job" right now unless they can #getfedihired as #digitalnomads or informal work.
Edited: $300/$100 for today and tomorrow and some groceries! Thanks!!!

Trust me, it’s true.
#Overeducated & #Unemployed.The Newest Face of Long-Term #Unemployment? The College #Educated.
For years, only a small portion of the people experiencing long spells of #joblessness were #college #graduates. That’s starting to change.

Hey I'm still looking for work.
I've applied to a lot of places in my area and I'm getting nothing.I'm a programmer at heart, but I've also been looking for regular entry-level jobs because there haven't been any coding positions open at my level as far as I could tell.
If you can offer me a job, it might save my butt. And if you can't offer me a job, could you at least share this post?
I live 30 minutes away from Bellevue if that helps.

@clacke
Yes, we cannot underestimate the ills of the #bureaucracy. In many cases they get things wrong. In #Australia one need only find the #robodebt problem, but there is a long list of way they get things wrong. And people are not reimbursed for the hundreds of hours they spend clawing back what they own, because they can't show actual losses, being #unemployed.Its quite vicious.
Also #FutureWork of the #AustraliaInstitute found that…(1/2)
