Upgraded a library and the new major version removed support for something I was using. However, instead of complaining to the maintainer, I copied the code into my repository, reformatted the code and went along my merry way. Thank goodness for freely licensed source.

I'm super excited to be part of the Open Source and Open Source Software Track Call for Papers (CFP) committee at #OpenUK's second State of Open Conference 🚀
It's my first time getting involved in the CFP process and I've got some great folks to learn from on the committee, and I'm very much looking forward to seeing what awesome sessions y'all have to share.
You've only got till Friday to submit a session, so best get sending them to https://stateofopencon.com/cfp/ 👀

This whole conference debacle is so disappointing. Speakers, when invited to a conf will say “who alls gonna be there?” I’ve my rules for participation posted on my site - including an inclusive lineup - for years. I was duped by the fake speakers also. I remind all conf organizers that there are THOUSANDS of speakers of all walks of life, genders, ages, backgrounds. I offer 920 for you to invite to your confs http://hanselminutes.com/episodes inclusion means doing the work. So, do the work, friends.

I always thought of [Spoon Theory](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoon_theory) as covering chronic illnesses with physical impact, so I've avoided using it for myself. I say "cognitive resources" instead to describe my similar but not identical #ADHD issues. But maybe I can have a little fun with it. What about "Spork Theory?" I've got an entire damn drawer of resources, but they're individually wrapped, not reusable, not well-suited to any one task, and break if you try too hard.

Poverty shouldn't exist. For anyone. Ever. Too often I hear 'No one with a job should live in poverty.' True. But let's go further. No one should live in poverty, job or not. Jobs should be a ticket to more than just survival. Think thriving, not surviving; buying fun, not life.

Wow. https://archive.is/wAt0i, an archived copy of https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-11-22/nlrb-files-case-against-mozilla-for-not-hiring-labor-activist. This is really what I'm afraid of. And I'm stupid findable on the Web (thanks to not using an alias — that bit me in the ass very fast — like in 2013, but whatever). I'm hoping Cher wins this case; I'll be following it closely. Especially because I've applied like four times at Mozilla with not as much as a reply if the role was closed or anything. Sidenote, though, I hate the fact that's this idea that we can sign away rights because we have a contract — and that's never clear if it's actually the case. I really am glad she stood up.
