No, I don't want to interview your CEO about new AI features in your product
It's always amazing to me how wiped out I am after a week on call, even if I didn't get paged at all. Four hours left. NOBODY BREAK ANYTHING.
Repeat after me: you’re not a burden because you need “reasonable” accommodations to function in your daily life.
Ransomware: > I have installed an unlicensed copy of Oracle Database somewhere on your network. Give me five Bitcoins by the end of the week or I will inform Oracle's legal department.
@eevee@queer.party on the contrary i propose we start calling gamers who perform poorly in game "badly optimized"
Didn't realize just how exhausted I was until today when I went out for lunch with a friend in order to "come up for air" for a bit, then when I got home decided I really needed to nap, and then promptly slept for three hours and it still isn't enough

What idiot called it "spiraling" or "obsessive thinking" instead of "riding the unhappy-go-round"???
Open source is fundamentally about people. It's an important value to me to pay that forward and throw a few dollars when I can to these champions of our industry. I appreciate GitHub sponsorship & Open Collective for making it really easy to do so. In the corporate world, it's my belief that organizations have a duty as well to harness their vast resources and pay these same maintainers their dues since they benefit the most off that labour.

Autistic me: Loves books but does not have the mental stamina to sit and read a book from start to finish for hours on end. So instead consumes short-form content online for hours and hours. Yeah because this makes sense... @actuallyautistic@a.gup.pe #actuallyautistic
I personally avoid it. If the person I'm talking about has been ie legally classed as insane, then maybe but I prefer to avoid the terms altogether
Anyone who says they get more traffic to their site from Mastodon than Twitter is... misguided at best. Mastodon appends "noreferrer" to every external link. Your browser literally doesn't tell the server where it clicked from. Now, some writers might be putting different tracking on their Twitter and Mastdon links. But, by design, Mastodon doesn't show up in servers referral logs. Whether that's a good thing or not is left as an exercise for the reader.
TIL https://sadservers.com tl;dr they give you a broken server and have you figure out how to fix it like a CTF, but for devops instead of security!

Seriously, Write Your API Spec First https://www.readysetcloud.io/blog/allen.helton/seriously-write-your-spec-first/ "Imagine you’re building a house. Would you rather the crew draft a blueprint ahead of time and build to that spec? Or would you rather them go off and build your house then create a blueprint of what they built when they were done?" -- #AllenHelton #ReadySetCloud #api360 #apiDesign #apiFirst

Richard delves into his evolving perspective on sustainability in open-source projects, advocating for a shift towards values such as human rights, joy, and mitigating harm.
I don’t know the answer to many of the world’s great problems. But have they tried diverting all power to the forward array? That worked for us often.
i need to start replying like an asshole “i have a masters degree in international human rights law but please, do explain war crimes to me”

If you attended the panel at #LFMemberSummit about open source software viability and project selection (or even if you didn't), you might want to listen to the CHAOSScast episode on this topic from last week. https://podcast.chaoss.community/72
When people invite you to dinner/movie.. the chances are the activity is just an excuse to meet up and the real objective is to socialise. I find this endearing, for years I didn’t know this. I used to automatically assume that the suggested activity was the *main* purpose of a meet-up. I thought an invitation to dinner meant that the predominant point of focus was the FOOD, or an invitation to watch a movie meant the MOVIE was the centrepiece of the night. @actuallyautistic@a.gup.pe #actuallyautistic
Too spoon depleted to be diplomatic and return to the comments on one of my LinkedIn posts about #HealthAndSafety. Will have to wait. But two things strike me: 1) Requiring masks is doable at any scale of event. It's the most effective (cost & impact) way of mitigating spread of airborne disease. And if you have a Code of Conduct, you already have the tools for enforcement. 2) Stop putting the burden of inclusion on marginalized people 😠 #DEI #OpenSource #FOSS #Events #PHPledge
Like many kids, I remember drawing out the letters of my name in interesting ways in the margin of my notebook or on random scrap paper. I always liked the symmetry of the W and M in “William”, and …

Just a few things I struggle with: - Having to put on a vivacious, inauthentic display of happiness at a moment’s notice. - Having to adjust to a new item coming into my possession. - Finding somewhere to put it. - Potentially having to change my plans/do something out of character to use the item. @actuallyautistic@a.gup.pe #actuallyautistic

a lot of furry kinks involve clothing being ripped in some way, a reflection of the common innermost fantasy of being able to afford another pair of jeans
The ADHD experience is having a growing collection of empty notebooks, pristine water bottles, and untouched to-do apps, each one a monument to good intentions.
All the stuff in your house used to be money. And all that money used to be time.
