They’re children. And their government is keeping them from doctors who practice a type of medicine that cures suicidal ideation at near miracle rates. If those kids do find relief, it'll be via their parents paying exorbitant out of pocket costs or by covertly ordering those drugs online with cryptocurrencies from sketchy overseas labs. Please don't play the Harry Potter video games and it defend it by saying they brought *you* childhood joy. https://www.thepinknews.com/2024/03/12/trans-puberty-blockers-nhs-england-prescribe-gender-affirming-healthcare/

“But AI is cheap!” It’s not, it has horrendous hardware, server housing and water and power requirements; it’s just that VCs are financing it now so you get in on the hype and later they will charge you rent and it will cost you way more—with inferior results—than, you know, hiring the writers and artists it’s stealing from, but those will be gone by then.

Attached: 1 image Since he joined us at #Styra, @charlieegan3 has taken developer relations to the next level, continuously delivering results exceeding all my expectations pretty much everywhere he's involved. On top of that, he's a great colleague and friend 🙂 I'm very happy to be able to share that he now bears the title of Senior Developer Advocate. Congrats Charlie, and well deserved!

Descriptions of autistic folks as having "trouble in social situations" but all my autistic friends get along great with each other in their social situations. This reads like all the "introverted people just need to learn small talk" instead of having articles where "extroverted people just need to learn to be quiet". Most of my friend AND professional colleague groups are filled with neurospicy folks. And we seem to get along just fine thank you very much. Anyhow. I imagine this isn't new to many folks here in the fediverse... Don't mind me. Just falling into a new research dive. - This research dive feels very meta, by the way.

Then we talk about the war on libraries, which is taking place all over the country.

Listened to Ep. 1: How heroes kill culture by Always an Engineer
Post details
In this episode, Asim Razzaq defines what is toxic heroism in the field of software engineering. Many engineers do not see this trait, and for Asim, it is important that he shows how this trait manifests and how it could affect the performance and output of a company on a long-term basis. [01:37] Problem of Hero Hailing Engineers [02:50] Why it gets Toxic [03:17] Asim’s Experience [07:18] Solution Going Against Morale While it is important to credit engineers for all the daily tasks and solutions they provide for companies, it is still important to check in on them and see if these little success stories aren’t going to their head. When someone is afflicted by a “toxic hero” state of mind, they’d often take shortcuts or rely on small and temporary wins, these achievements are materialized externally to a point that how they think is always right. This, in return, creates a bad environment for colleagues who may be discouraged to work as a team or craft new ideas to solutions, which may not be aligned with the aforementioned “hero's” point of view. Taking a Step Back When you feel like these wins are getting to your head or if you notice that your colleagues are no longer contributing ideas to your group huddles, then it is definitely time to take a self-evaluation on whether or not you are creating a toxic hero environment for your workplace. The sooner you identify these signs, the better it is to help reconnect with your team. Got questions or suggestions for future episodes? Just visit www.alwaysanengineer.org

If you see the AGPL licenses on my free and open source work and you think “damn you, I can’t use this to enrich myself or my corporation without sharing back what I’ve built on top of what you’ve freely shared and thus contribute to cultivating a healthy commons where others might enjoy the same benefits from my work that I want to obtain from yours” (a) you really have long-winded thoughts and (b) well, you already see the flaw in your reasoning. #foss #licenses #freedom #copyleft #gpl
