During the last 40 years, I've consulted for over a thousand clients. Here are some of the pros & cons of consulting for large organizations.

Oh, thank the universe—a reprieve for my #physician-#researcher #clients! @AssociatedPress reports: "A #federal #judge on Wednesday blocked the Tr*mp administration from drastically cutting #medical #research #funding that many #scientists say will endanger patients and cost jobs." tinyurl.com/4necx3jd

I want to like Tuba, I really do, but it is SO ... SLOW. Not just in normal interaction (yes, that's slow), but when it goes to fetch new toots it just jumps out of the window for minutes at a time and due to the shit that is GNOME/Gtk4 that means all the window-level controls are dead: can't iconify, can't move it aside, ... and no, I don't use GNOME as an environmeng and tbh I don't understand why anyone does.

Whalebird is worse, performance-wise. Tokodon is at least as bad.

Is there no deck-style native Fediverse client for Linux? Preferably that is not based on Gtk4/anything GNOMEish?

Major NY #law firms significant players in #litigation against Trump admin during 1st term r nowhere to be found in flood of 2nd term litigation. They have privately made clear not interested in taking risk that Trump will target them, scare off their #corporate #clients. Law firms are similarly reluctant to let their #lawyers take on pro bono representation of former Biden admin officials and others who, like Smith, could be in the Trump Justice Department’s crosshairs. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/02/27/trump-clearances-covington-jack-smith/

Client: It is imperative we get these scans done in February.
Me: OK, please turn on the device that we ask you to keep online but you refuse to.
Client: It's powered on.
Me: I don't see it on the VPN.
--- 24 hours later ---
Me: I still don't see it on the VPN. Can someone connect a monitor and just make sure it is on the network?
Client: Oh yeah it wasn't connected to the network.
Me: ...

I should up my rates for this client...

Let's reinvent the wheel by #coding a #BitTorrent client in #Go, because downloading #Debian hasn't been done enough already, right? Forget the power of existing #clients, we're all about reinventing this over-engineered bicycle. Also available in several languages, because #verbosity knows no borders.

Me: *submits draft of carefully crafted copy*

Client: Does changing the wording to this sound natural?
Me: No.
Client: How about this?
Me: No.
Client: This?
Me: No.
Client: Oh, how about this?
Me: No, not at all. What's wrong with what I wrote?
Client: It doesn't sound right.

Tonight, because of the problems with TweeseCake and Blob.cat compatibility, I was reminded of TWBlue. Normally, I don't use it, because I can't edit posts. But other than that one feature, I love it! It even has a few features that TweeseCake doesn't, including the ability to view followers, those whom you follow, and blocked users. It even allows searching within posts and for people! It also allows me to view favourites, which TweeseCake has only partially implemented. There, they disappear, but here, they remain visible. I was also wrong when I said that I can't post paragraphs. It's just that, instead of hitting return as I normally would (and as in TweeseCake, for those curious), I have to hit shift+return. Interestingly, I found that I can edit my Friendica profile perfectly, excluding Friendica-only features such as keywords. Remember, both of these clients are made to work with Mastodon, and the only reason they can work with other platforms is their compatibility with it. Anyway, when I try to edit my profile on Blob.cat, I can't. After I choose "Edit", nothing happens. But the most vexing thing is that TWBlue doesn't include an editing feature for posts! If anyone here works with and/or for them, can you plese either suggest this or strongly consider implementing it? It would make life so much easier and would complement the other features very well.

All too often, clients who are planning an event don't spend enough time making hard but important event choices.
