Aside from some crappy commentary about "working by committee" and "cancel culture", there was some interesting bits in this

My fellow human beings. Before joining Bluesky. You should read about Cory Doctorow's description of the Enshittification process. The first part of the process is vendors create high-quality offerings to attract users, even if it results in a loss of money. The idea is to get market share. I fear that mankind is trapped in an endless cycle with social media.

Why yes, on Wednesday I was presenting a very high-profile meeting at work  - why do you ask?

(Sorry that FitBit doesn't make it easier to export a graph more nicely)

A screenshot of Jamie's FitBit app, showing the heartrate for a ~90 minute period of time, leading up to the meeting.


The first heartrate spike is at 1450 (up to 114bpm), immediately before the meeting, and as I'm preparing myself with a final runthrough and check that everything's ready.


It relaxes down to 92bpm while other parts of the meeting are going on, a quick spike up to 110bpm as it's noted that I'm going to be presenting later.


A few minutes before I talk - at 1530 - my heartrate drops down to 84bpm (as I'm mentally playing "Moving On - Phaeleh") and then spikes to 107bpm as I start to speak at 1540.

From now on I will block anyone crying about being cancelled for speech. Trump wants to shoot protestors, ban books, jail journalists, jail librarians, jail school teachers and defund media outlets that won’t play his game. That is what free speech was about, not that your gay neighbor has to put up with your bullshit or people not buying your books anymore.

Listened to Extract Dependency Data on Scale with Renovate - Sebastian Poxhofer, N26
Post details
As modern platforms integrate an increasing array of tools, so too grows the complexity of software dependencies within your codebase. While mainstream dependencies like Docker images, Terraform and NPM packages are well-covered by existing solutions, what about the myriad obscure or custom tooling, perhaps even manually installed binaries lurking in your Dockerfiles? In this session, we'll unveil an Open Source solution designed to systematically extract data from diverse toolsets. Learn how to effectively catalog, track, and maintain these dependencies, eliminating blind spots and ensuring robustness in your development workflow.
