The moment a person uses "community manager" or "marketing" as a pejorative is the moment I know they're neither worth my time nor safe to welcome into the communities I serve. Get the fuck out of here with that kinda thinking. #OpenSource #FOSS

You call it eating directly out of the ice cream carton, I call it radical self-acceptance.

Le sigh. And now I must recommend Roku Sticks for people who don’t want to drop over $120 on a streaming device and/or want to use said device reliably on captive networks. https://www.theverge.com/2023/12/1/23984444/amazon-fire-tv-autoplay-ads-on-startup

It's wild how Chrome has become this generation’s Internet Explorer.

The most difficult part of achieving my personal goals is that I'm the person I'm relying upon on to reach them

Hey, if you're the type of person that can start typing a reply to an argument, then decide that actually it's not worth bothering with and delete the reply, I want you to know: You're doing fantastic, and you should be proud of yourself. I wish more people had that kind of restraint.

Me, describing developer work estimation industry practice: > "We start with 'points describe complexity, not time' as a guiding philosophy, and then proceed to describe all estimates in terms of time."

I’m just an executive, standing in front of some small thing that brings you joy in this life, asking how I can completely ruin it for money

I don’t need “ai” in my terminal, I’m perfectly capable of typing something that looks plausible but does something completely unexpected myself thanks

Poverty shouldn't exist. For anyone. Ever. Too often I hear 'No one with a job should live in poverty.' True. But let's go further. No one should live in poverty, job or not. Jobs should be a ticket to more than just survival. Think thriving, not surviving; buying fun, not life.

Wow. https://archive.is/wAt0i, an archived copy of https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-11-22/nlrb-files-case-against-mozilla-for-not-hiring-labor-activist. This is really what I'm afraid of. And I'm stupid findable on the Web (thanks to not using an alias — that bit me in the ass very fast — like in 2013, but whatever). I'm hoping Cher wins this case; I'll be following it closely. Especially because I've applied like four times at Mozilla with not as much as a reply if the role was closed or anything. Sidenote, though, I hate the fact that's this idea that we can sign away rights because we have a contract — and that's never clear if it's actually the case. I really am glad she stood up.

If God wanted us to have unlimited free energy He’d have put a giant fusion reactor in the sky.

“rest in peace” being synonymous with death implies that, while you’re alive, you must rest in irritation and conflict.

Dungeons and Dragons is a role-playing game that lets you live out such fantasies as: • Having money • Making close friends as an adult • Travelling the world without crippling debt • Being able to change the world • Getting better at something with practice • Getting 8 hours of sleep each night

my biggest criticism about the original Star Wars is that they called it a "Death Star". any evil imperialist organization worth its salt would hire a consulting firm to come up with something like "Liberation Sphere"

I think the real reason our culture stigmatizes children who ask "why" a lot is that most adults are deeply ashamed of how infrequently they actually have good answers.

New short documentary from @openuk@hachyderm.io all about the state of #OpenSource in the UK. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxWy_qgMa50 And, yes, the video is CC BY-SA 😄 (I'm a board member at OpenUK)

Just mentioning for no particular reason, life sure is easier when you deliberately and carefully select the people you spend time with

"You shouldn't project modern gender labels back onto historical figures" OK great! I will no longer be calling them "men" or "women". Those are modern, socially constructed categories of person, and using them uncritically encourages us to assume that past cultures shared our expectations for appropriate gender performance.

Happy ‘discover what mailing lists you’ve been signed up to’ day.

Why are the turkeys being pardoned? Never understood that. The turkeys didn't commit a crime. You're deciding not to EAT the damn bird and acting like you're forgiving it for doing something wrong. That has to suggest something about power.
