Did you know that when germ theory was first discovered doctors refused to wash their hands for decades cuz they didn’t like the idea they were responsible for sickening their own patients?

Sounds an awful lot like modern resistance to masks doesn’t it

It's been over ten years so I think it's okay to vaguely mention my experience when the president and owner of the company accidentally broke the embargo of our acquisition due to timezones and really …

IMHO, an underappreciated aspect of 'filing bug reports is (hard) work for people' is that it's hard work that often has no particularly immediate payoff. Filing a bug report will mostly not get the problem fixed immediately the way you want; at best it may get you a fix in the next release, which will arrive who knows when.

We forced @duane@hachyderm.io’s hand on this week’s @changelog and got him to guarantee he’d have a site up for his parked domain before the episode drops He did it! 👉 https://fossfunders.com Peer pressure FTW…

ngl super embarrassing how often i’d look at something and go “wow this seems like a completely pointless overcomplicated mess” and then later run head-first into the exact same problem the seemingly overcomplicated mess solves, without ever realising my mistake

happens all the time in big corporates, but there's a balance here? have the foolishness to think you can rewrite the world, but the respect that things are like this for a reason the value comes in questioning those reasons to determine if they (still) apply to your needs

“XYZ is the future!” is a sure fire way of ensuring a lot of previously burnt people will hate something that is possibly worth further consideration. #HTMX

I had the pleasure of attending All Day Hey for the first time this week and I was fully blown away. Big shout out to the organisers, crew,…

The question isn't determining whether Bluesky, Mastodon, Twitter, etc is the better platform. The question is why are we obsessed with emulating centralized corporate experiences that do not care about us or our communities? It's a lack of imagination leading that convo, not innovation.

young me: i wonder if this new technical thing is cool middle-aged me: i wonder if i can avoid knowing about this new technical thing until it goes away

I applied for a job by uploading my resume — and then correcting the job site's confused reading of my resume. BUT I did not have to add a cover letter. way Way ahead of the pack for application process

remembered an important fact about myself just now deep down, at heart…I’m a normie (and I’m ok with that)

To keep the modern technological world of open source software safe, it is critical to efficiently and accurately communicate information about open source vulnerabilities. The OSV Schema, created through the collaboration between OpenSSF members and housed within the Vulnerability Disclosures Working Group, provides a minimal, easy-to-use first class JSON format for describing vulnerabilities in open source software.

Heads up: This blog post is very 2007, OG-blogger-esque. If you kids wondered what blog posts were like back then, this is a good representation. If you know, you know.Heads up #2: This is one of t…

I want open source maintainer to be a profession. A thing you start by joining something bigger than just yourself, and then you grow in it. And eventually spawn off your own thing, hopefully. 🗣️ @filippo@abyssdomain.expert https://youtu.be/OBWCM2G6_-I

Reading some stuff about how Mastodon has "failed" and being reminded that's diagnostic of abusive behaviour by the platform people are refusing to leave. https://the.webm.ink/lock-in-syndrome

Releasing a product or feature without proper material that explains why anyone should care will likely lead to poor results. Try writing your “why” docs first. Before you write that first line of code. Not how it will work. WHY they should care.

Attached: 1 image Today I am disappointed and disgusted to say that #WesternDigital have sent me an email that has very important content in it, but it's inaccessible. They've suffered a data breach, but the information about said breach has been put into the email as an image. A #ScreenReader user without some level of tech knowledge would be unable to read that, and may actually think it's spam. To us, it goes straight to the line that says 'Copyright 2023 Western Digital' and skips all the salient points. Utterly disgusting behaviour from such a large company about such an important topic. If you're of a mind to do so, please boost to raise awareness. This email is seemingly *not* a drill.

If you’ve ever seen Quantum of Solace, you’ll see an example of what happens when you continue with a production during a writers’ strike. Awful movie, and it was in between Casino Royale and Skyfall which were great. I’ll be so upset if Disney ruin season 2 of Andor, given that will be the end of the whole thing. There won’t be a season 3, season 2 goes right up to the Rogue One movie https://gizmodo.com/andor-season-2-production-writers-strike-1850411776

Met Police doing a wonderful job with the UK's new authoritarian thought-crime laws to make sure everyone hears about a protest that would probably have gone unseen if ignored. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/may/06/head-of-uks-leading-anti-monarchy-group-arrested-at-coronation-protest

"Welcome to our gander reveal party!" "Don't you mean..." "No." Geese emerge from everywhere. There are no fireworks. Only geese. There are no balloons. Only chaos. There are no genders. Only honk.

I think I figured out an aesthetic reason why AI-in-everything has been annoying the hell out of me. They're all using the same API from the same source — okay maybe two or three sources but mostly not — converging all their interesting and distinct services into one indistinguishable oatmeal mashup. Oh you can help me write emails? How is that different from the ten other apps that hook up to ChatGPT to help me write emails?

Gotten a lot of questions about *porn* film festivals and what it’s like to attend one - so now I’m writing an article about it 🎬💋👀 AMA or tell me what you want to know!

my dad has been speaking to a royalist in his street and when my dad said we should get rid of the monarchy this bloke said "who would you have in charge instead... a load of transgenders?" and im obsessed with the idea that you can either have a king or a council of trans people

I’m now out of the police station. Still waiting for my colleagues. Make no mistake. There is no longer a right to peaceful protest in the UK. I have been told many times the monarch is there to defend our freedoms. Now our freedoms are under attack in his name.
