Liked I was just adding a gig I’m going to on Last.fm when I saw my “member since” date: 16 August 2004 😯. That’s 20 years of scrobbling (since its Audioscrobbler days). Newer than my Gmail account but older than Twitter. by Barry Frost

When the signal came, there was nothing subtle about it: every radio telescope on the planet redlined. First primes, then simple arithmetic, then basic vocabulary, each burst richer than the one before. Finally humanity received the most complex message yet. Thousands of researchers and ad hoc internet communities raced to decode it. "Are you crabs yet?" Hesitantly, humanity replied, "No." "Oh," came the reply. "Sorry to bother you." Silence followed.

Happy #BiVisibilityDay! I always take the opportunity to remind folks I'm bi because, if I don't, people make assumptions. You can be in a hetero relationship and be bi. You can be same-sex relationship and be bi. The distinction matters because bi folks face unique challenges. And, while research seems to indicate most people are bi (!!!), many people are afraid to come out because of the stigma. I'm here to tell you it's never too late to come out. Even if you're in a stable relationship, being closeted causes you harm. Do yourself a favor and join us in the sun ❤️💜💙 We'll be here to support you. #BiPride #Queer #LGBTQ #NotGayButGayIsOK

Listened to Open Source Security Podcast: Episode 447 - The Tidelift 2024 open source maintainer report
Post details
and talk about the 2024 Tidelift maintainer report. The report is pretty big and covers a ton of ground. We focus in a few of the statistics that should worry anyone who uses open source. We've known for a while developers are struggling, and the numbers back that up. This one feels like the old "we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas". Show Notes

As soon as you decide to get more comfortable doing business with people, you realize there are a bunch of people you've met over your career that you definitely don't want to do business with. It's an odd feeling. In this case I ran into something that looked cool on LinkedIn. I was gonna find out more about it, then I saw who it was from. "Oh, that guy? Yeah, no. Fuck that guy."

This is the first actual edition of the API Evangelist Conversation podcast with my friend Pat Patterson, the Chief Technical Evangelist at Backblaze. Always enjoy learning from Pat as we dove into the meaning behind his title, as well as how Backblaze has standardized their API around the Amazon S3 storage API--essentially treating the API as the industry standard for storage.

Dear fellow Europeans, I am respectfully asking you to consider signing this European Citizen Initiative to institute a billionaire tax. It was invented by leading French economist Thomas Piketty; I read the whole thing, and it is technically excellent. Hit me if you have questions, but please sign it, it is important. https://www.tax-the-rich.eu/ It needs 1 million signatures (currently 300K) and seven countries over their threshold (currently three: Denmark, France, Germany). #economics #tax
