Do you like director's commentaries and extended cuts? This episode is like that, but for this week's News. We go deep on the alive internet theory, Meshtastic mesh networks, Zstandard compression, the FDE job explosion, React's seemingly perpetual dominance, and more.
Prolific software blogger, Sean Goedecke, joins us to discuss why he believes software engineers need to be involved in the politics of their organization, how to avoid worry driven development, what is "good taste" in software engineering, where agentic coding will take our industry, why getting the main thing right i...
Welcome back to Break, a Fallthrough aftershow! Sometimes we record an episode and don't ship it for a while. This is the case for this episode, which we recorded all the way back on July 30th! In it Kris and Matt discuss their, at the time, yet to be recorded episode with Mitchell Hashimoto,...
Software engineering has an identity problem. Some software engineers want to be craftspeople and artisans, while others want to be more like the traditional engineers, while others just want to write some code. In this episode, Kris and Matt talk about the state of software engineering today and...

Cursed idea: Ask a shitty manager. Like @askamanager.org but they pretend to be any of the hardcore techbro managers I had at software companies instead.
Josh chats with Charlie Eriksen, a security researcher at Aikido Security. We discuss the recent NPM supply chain attacks that affect hundreds of packages. Charlie shares his experiences dealing with recent security breaches, the challenges of maintaining trust in open source software, and the importance of proactive measures to safeguard open source. The rapid pace of change is impacting our security practices and what steps can be taken to foster resilience in the face of evolving threats.

Hello Fediverse -- let's have an #introduction and introduce ourselves :3
We're dotmeow, a queer-run community project to register the gTLD .meow. But not only for meows and giggles! The profits of this gTLD shall go to community causes, turning every domain into queer community support, especially focusing on trans issues.
While we've already passed the ICANN Application Support Program, we're just now launching our web & social media presence(s). So while there's not much to see here yet, follow us if you're interested in registering a .meow domain and potentially supporting us in the way -- crowdfunding TBA soon.
Outside of announcements we want to engage with the fediverse as regular fedizens and won't spam you with meaningless ads <3
Who the US labels a 'terrorist' depends entirely on what serves American strategic interests. The CIA trained Bin Laden to fight the Sovjets and the US is allied with Saudia Arabia who sponsored 9/11 attackers. If we're counting civilian casualties the worst terrorist organization is Israel's IDF.
My first advice to junior contributors is to STOP using vibe coding for PRs. OSS is always about people more than about code. We don't need more code generated by LLM, we need more people who care.
Redid my website to be static instead of wordpress and I've uploaded PDFs for a couple previously offline only things: Open Submission Window Now Closed and Records from the Alabastion Federation Archives.

When you become disabled thereâs a few things you notice right away:
Ableism is everywhere.
People will abandon you. Even those you were certain would stick by you.
Just because something is illegal or against human rights code doesnât mean itâs not happening ALL the time
Accessibility is not what it should be.
People will blame you for your disabilities. It wonât matter what you do or how hard you try, you wonât be âgood enoughâ
All the misconceptions you had about disabled people were wrong.
Thatâs really the crux of it.
Disability is a minority group you can join anytime.
Most people will experience disability in their lifetime
Yet discriminating against us is not only common itâs socially acceptable.
Most people donât realize how misguided they are until it happens to them
Many of us living with chronic illness had the same preconceived notions about disabled people until we became disabled ourselves
We thought it wasnât âthat badâ.
We believed we would be the exception
Many of us became advocates because the realization that we were so horribly wrong shook us to our core.
If we had that much ableism to work through, then so does everyone else.
Thatâs why we need strong allies.
We need people who will say disabled lives matter.
We need to shift the public perception away from the idea that disability is a moral failing.
We need to be visible, take up space and help people realize that all health is temporary and disability happens to almost everyone.
Inclusion and accessibility matter!
