Note: I deleted >1000 words and decided to post a summary instead. Jacob Kaplan Moss slacked me his article today because he knew I’d like it, and we have both had ongoing conversations for years about open-source Funding. It’s worth reading. I mistakenly submitted the article to the orange website because I assumed someone else already had it. Oops. I support funding open-source projects. We are trillions of dollars away from providing enough Funding for open-source software before I have the patience to set through any debates about the right or wrong way to fund them.

Big work news: Altium has accepted a $5.9bn offer from Renesas https://finance.yahoo.com/news/japan-renesas-buy-software-firm-233644945.html

If you follow privacy news, you have probably heard that Skiff, an end-to-end encrypted productivity suite, announced that it has been acquired by Notion. We could not resist chiming in since Skiff was compared with CryptPad in the past.

Six years ago, I quit my job as a developer at Google to create my own self-funded software business. This is a review of my last year and what I've learned so far about bootstrapping software businesses.

Momentous: Reflecting on the Second Annual State of Open Con Wow, can’t believe it has been a week since the State of Open Con 2024 kicked off! In the end, there were 208 impressive speakers over two days across eight tracks and over 150 sessions and activities. Plus a broad delegate experience space across the […]

I’ve been thinking about Mastodon and the fallout from Bridgy’s plan to connect ActivityPub servers to Bluesky. For a snapshot of how this blew up, see this GitHub issue discussion, now thankfully …

Here's a lovely thing. "By and large", as in, "by and large, pizza is good", is a *nautical* expression, dating from the 18th shading back into the mists of the 17th century of English sailing ships. "By" means "tending opposite the prevailing wind", and "large" means "tending with the prevailing wind". So, "by and large" means "no matter which way your ship is headed relative to the wind". I'm a poly-dork, and one of my dorkeries is language. I cherish this fact. Also, I cherish pizza.

You expel the furries? Wherever they go gains a better tech industry. You may not like this, but it's a demonstrable fact.

friend: how'd the date go me: she ghosted me friend: she didn't show up? me: no she turned up in a bedsheet with eyeholes cut out and now she won't stop haunting me date, from another room: ooooOOOOOoooooo

Attached: 2 images Google, following the industry trend to AI-all-the-things, has released Magika - a machine learning model which can identify file types. It claims it can outperform traditional methods by 20 per cent. I pitted it against BSD File on something I figured Google hadn't included in its million-file-strong corpus: CU Amiga's Mega CD-ROM coverdisc from November 1995. Magika identified... one file correctly, a plain-text document. File? File got 'em all, and quicker too. (An unfair test, I know!)

Beautiful API references from Swagger/OpenAPI files ✨ - scalar/scalar

Mastodon and brid.gy: yes, @snarfed.org@snarfed.org should have expected such a reaction from Mastodonians, and obviously didn’t research it. But fuck me I didn’t expect to see *every* single Weeb, Furry and gendernaut come out to rattle their maracas in his face and claim he was going to get people killed.

Man I hope members of that community read all my posts and see my nuance otherwise I am NOT going to be invited to the indieweb picnic :(

How I switched my side project from using Amazon S3 for file hosting to using Tigris (which is built on Fly.io infrastructure). It was a good experience overall, but there were a few quirks.

If you missed my talks at FOSDEM, the slides / videos are online now. I was on an all-star panel about making a career out of open source, and I gave a talk in the community devroom about strategies for building healthy communities. You can find the links from my #fosdem speaker page: https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/speaker/XX3PMJ/

every john oliver segment: "...that would be like if we made a sloth the white house's Chief Economist, YOU CAN'T COUNT THE MONEY SLOTHY, YOU'VE ONLY GOT THREE FINGERS!!! Anyway unless multilateral action is taken to stop the ongoing genocide in Palestine..."

In response to @cadey@pony.social's blog post about wanting retry loops in #Golang, I wrote terrible hack using using the proposed iterator syntax. https://go.dev/play/?v=gotip var err error for range backoff(&err, 1 * time.Second) { if err = something1(); err != nil { continue } if err = something2() ; err != nil { continue } }
