It’s no surprise to anyone that I prefer reading peoples’ long-form thoughts to tweets or pithy social media posts. Microblogging is interesting for quick, in-the-now status updates, but I find myself …

Sick today. 🤧 Send personal websites!

It's not "agile" unless it's from the Átlassian region of France, otherwise it's just sparkling chaos

I would love to congratulate @Raspberry_Pi@raspberrypi.social on the new Raspberry Pi 5 launch but they blocked me and a bunch of others for suggesting that hiring an undercover police officer to build surveillance tech would seem a bit dodge. #RaspberryPi #RaspberryPi5

How do I begin to explain to you why surveillance cops are bad, and why #RaspberryPi hiring an ex spy cop _because_ he used Pis for surveillance and deciding all the criticism came from an organised dogpile and not from marginalised people with something to lose from police surveillance was bad? And why their reaction of immediately blocking everyone and whining to the media was bad? Anyway, that’s why I can’t buy a Raspberry Pi 5 https://petapixel.com/2022/12/09/raspberry-pi-under-fire-by-creators-who-are-upset-it-hired-a-former-cop/

Baffling timing for Epic layoffs, I would have thought they’d want to be sending “having our shit together” vibes following the Unity saga

I'm not just saying this because I'm on the OpenUK board ... State of Open Con last year was amazing, and I expect it to be even better in 2024! Open source software, open data, and open hardware all in one event. As a bonus, it's on the Tuesday after FOSDEM, so we can all travel together on the Eurostar from Brussels to London on Monday 😁 https://stateofopencon.com

Does the new Raspberry Pi 5 come with a cop, or have we all forgotten about that?

What's in an npm package? And can we make them smaller? I investigated how npm packages are compressed using gzip and what it might looking like to switch to a modern compressor like Brotli or zstd #node #nodejs #npm #javascript https://jamiemagee.co.uk/blog/honey-i-shrunk-the-npm-package/

In a recent study titled Usage and Attribution of Stack Overflow Code Snippets in GitHub Projects, an answer I wrote almost a decade ago was found to be the most copied snippet on Stack Overflow. Ironically it happens to be buggy.
