I wonder how soon Github will start force-updating repositories for 'important software supply chain elements' whose developers have walked away from Github because of their policies and no longer push changes, bug fixes, security updates and so on to GH. I have other thoughts, but they boil down to 'software supply chain security demands seem like they're going to kill your free ride, enjoy what happens next'.

fellow white autistic tech dudebros, what is your relationship with privilege? I learned and then assumed that I'd often be the person with most privilege / automatic authority in a room due to those characteristics. I am now reckoning that this might have often not been the case, due to autistic traits: - speaking either too softly / too loudly - usually being the listener / question asker - looking boyish and weird - not having my shit under control because adhd - etc... #actuallyautistic

Ok, I cracked last night and upgraded my Starfield preorder so I could play it two days early. Not because I was terribly excited about it but because I couldn't stand not knowing whether it was a good game or not. And, well, I've put about two hours into it and it's honestly the most uninspired, unoriginal game I've played in a long time, the voice acting is bad, the writing is worse, the gameplay for the most part is Fallout 4 exactly and after 700 hours logged I'm a little done with Fallout 4, the space flight bit is like a less polished version of No Man's Sky except you can't fly down onto planets seamlessly—in 2023!—and the 3D engine has my GPU struggling above 90C with fans going like jet engines at medium settings where NMS easily stays below 80C at max settings and looks better at any setting, and I've already had one thermal shutdown event in addition to multiple crashes to desktop. So, basically, typical AAA game launch, will probably revisit in a couple of months when I'm in the mood for it and maybe it's less broken but right now the new NMS update sounds a lot more appealing. So, everyone going "it's Skyrim meets No Man's Sky," I don't know what you've been smoking, it's literally just Fallout 4 in space, and as far as space goes it's nothing like NMS, or even Mass Effect, just another tired Outer Worlds style rehash of the same tired SF clichés. Well, I suppose if you liked Outer Worlds you'll probably like this one too, in the same way a lot of people enjoy eating at McDonald's. It's just, with Baldur's Gate 3 so fresh in mind I guess I've come to expect a little more.

A hacker said they breached the maker of internet-connected chastity cages to warn about security flaws that are exposing users' data.

I always found it surprising that after the breakdown of a long-term relationship, I felt OK.  Don’t get me wrong, though, it did hurt. Even today, I remember the good days and pondering what …

I do some work for a non-profit. I love what I do. When I'm stressed, I put in some extra hours that I don't bill them for because it gives me something to focus on to get me through. I realize this means that I am Not Good At Capitalism but it's sure good for my heart.

I’m hearing from my laid off #Disney friends that their jobs are being refilled at a level lower making them ineligible to apply. Meaning filthy rich #BobIger destroyed 7,000 lives while relaxing on his yacht to replace older workers with young, cheap labor. #DisneyMagic

As everyone rushes to invest in AI, moving away from crypto, my new favourite term has emerged: grift shift.

git blame myself

I think the main difference between twitter and mastadon for me is that here I feel like I can post whatever I want and also it's not evil

abolish résumés. abolish cover letters. ask me whatever questions you need to ask in the job application and in one interview maximum and leave it at that.

Bramley was with a dog sitter today while we played D&D and he got to play with other dogs and some kids and now he's passed the fuck out as he's so tired :D

When I was little (in the 90s) and the radio was my only source of music, I used to get really annoyed when they played music I didn't like at the time. One of them was Alanis Morissette because it was always on. Anyway... I was a fool. It's so embarrassing to admit that I am only now appreciating her songs. On the other hand, if I had known about "You Oughta Know" many years ago when I had a heartbreak, I probably would have embarrassed myself on social media at the time. 😂

Got one of those friends where you find out they're in a serious circumstance and you're just pleasantly surprised they're still alive.

One of the things that’s always struck me as broken in big tech companies is how often there are products that millions of people use that deserve continued improvements that no one cares about while there are so many hot new projects with no meaningful shot at as much impact with dozens, hundreds or even thousands of people working on them. By the way Microsoft is pulling Wordpad from Windows because no one is working on it. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/microsoft-is-killing-wordpad-in-windows-after-28-years/

Right now I’m a 10 Unfortunately that’s on the pain scale

A fun thing about covid reducing our visits to the U.K. to once per year is that it’s broken the frog-in-boiling-water-ness of it all and now every time I go back I’m shocked by obvious signs of decline

i don’t go to therapy to become emotionally healthy i go to therapy to fix my self esteem so i can be a findom and therefore afford to be a lady of leisure

The great thing about measuring developer productivity is that you can quickly identify the bad programmers. I want to tell you about the worst programmer I know, and why I fought to keep him in the team.
