PSA to other folks who also frequently schedule meetings across the Atlantic: DST ends this Sunday in Europe but it doesn’t end until the following Sunday in the US—because if we’re going to fuck with the clocks let’s maximize the chaos and fuck with them at different times, sure, why not.

Please people. It's not "Mastodon", it's "ActivityPub/Mastodon"

I have lived long enough to see the phase "there's an app for that" go from a marketing slogan to a threat

I still hate the new Slack UI.

never hurts to be reminded of the 4 mental health quick fix bandaids: if you hate everyone, eat if you feel like everyone hates you, sleep if you feel like you hate yourself, shower if you feel like everyone hates everyone, stop doomscrolling

Open source is more than just code. It's a community of people who are passionate about building better software together. Take the 2024 State of #OpenSource Survey and help us celebrate the community: https://www.research.net/r/open-source-initiative.

Community does not scale. Audience scales. Community is decentralized for quality. Audience is centralized for profit. Community is generative. Audience is extractive.

Funny thing with Musk shitting on wikipedia about the money it's wasting is... A free, open collaborative encyclopedia of all human knowledge, so good it's basically the default reference for everything, and it's using this much money Meanwhile tons of tech companies get hyper inflated valuations and absurd amount of VC money for bullshit that is at best not really useful, at worse actively harmful to society. yeah sorry I'm not gonna attack wikipedia for needing budget to run the biggest most useful encyclopedia on earth actually

What the hell is going on with the Golang proxy today? Anyone know if there's a status page anywhere I can check?

Time for DNS to propagate normally: a couple minutes, go make a cup of coffee or something Time for DNS to propagate after fixing a typo in a record: The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again

What COVID19 has taught us about the Zombie Apocalypse is that there will be zombie denialists, zombie virus infection parties, zombie conspiracy theorists, and politicians ruthlessly exploiting lies about zombies to kill off demographics who won't vote for them—and when a vaccine against Z-virus is invented there will be zombie anti-vaxxers (some of them funded by the Kremlin for shits and giggles).

the correct way to take paracetamol is to buy a box of paracetamol when you need it, take two paracetamol, then put the rest in the drawer with all the other boxes of paracetamol

PSA: "It's hard to find women to speak at events in Tech" - this is pure bullshit 💩 It's hard to convince women to risk attending a mostly-male event when they cannot see your ally-ship, maybe. But there are plenty of smart, highly capable women in Tech that would significantly enhance your event by speaking there. Build your network. Listen to women. Then get a 50:50 women:men organizing team. 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Then listen some more. Maybe then women will say "yes" to your event. #rant

Hey folks, I've seen a lot of talk going around about adblockers lately. I worked in the advertising technology and security industry for five years and the one core piece of advice I have is: Holy fuck never give an advertiser your data. You cannot believe how bad it is. Don't. I run three layers of ad block protection and I'd run more if it was feasible. If you want to support creators give them money.

Support trans women. That includes the woman from the hood. The loud one.The sexworker. The dropout. The one whose hair aint laid and outfit ain't always on point. The one with clear mental health issues. The one with nowhere to go. Not just the models, writers, and public figures. - Devin Lowe #trans #queer #DecoloniseGender #TransWomen #SistaGirl #SistaGirls #SistersNotCisters

Attached: 1 image Great opening talk at TechMids this morning. Loved this point by Molly Barnes that disabilities are acquired by people later in life. Sight and hearing loss, along with mobility issues come to most older people, not *old* people. #accessibility

Greatly enjoying this #techMids talk from @www.jvt.me@www.jvt.me about software dependencies, but we haven’t got into SBOMs yet … it’s all good info!
