Protest is fundamental to democracy. People must have the right to oppose having an unelected head of state, or more than £100m of public funds being spent on a coronation when millions rely on food banks. These arrests should concern us all.

Letter in today’s Guardian: “In recent years, the food bank has used grants from the national lottery to support its activities, but recent applications for funding have been unsuccessful. They have been told that much of the funding is going to events celebrating the coronation”

Hetzner goes arm64: https://ruby.social/@tisba/110317041230787536

Interesting! Just noticed that Hetzner Cloud is offering Arm64 VPS (Ampere). Was looking for a VPS hoster that offers arm64 and it's the first one I could find (in EU). Costs ~30% less compared to x86. https://www.hetzner.com/news/arm64-cloud

I really don’t get why baby books are gendered. When it labels the unborn child the same sex as the baby I’m having; it flows fine; but when they name it the opposite I feel like I’m reading the wrong book. In a language where we have a non-gender option of words; it’s interesting to see in a book how comfortable they are at switching the unborn child’s gender.

Yesterday I used the "git filter-repo" command for the first time. Have not felt such a thrill of power/danger since I first learned about "git rebase -i".

Honestly a bit baffled by people who defend Elon Musk and DHH.

Whelp, hearing about the #shopify #layoffs — reports are 20% of the workforce, with Berlin 90% of the staff laid off. That really doesn't sound good.

If you haven’t changed Jest's defaults your tests might be fragile, order-dependent, or just downright wrong. Check out my blog post where I dig into Jest's settings, and how you can fix your tests. #javascript #node #jest #testing #unittest https://jamiemagee.co.uk/blog/your-jest-tests-might-be-wrong/

All of tech worried about Frankenstein's monster without giving any thought to the core concern that Frankenstein was kind of a dick and that's how you get Frankenstein's monster instead of Frankenstein's cool pal who's fun to be with.

Something I really don’t like is how “hate” is used so lightly — especially by tech folks. Same for “dead” too (tech doesn’t die it’s just sand that can think). Over the last couple of years, I oft…

Great article from @ShopifyEng on improving Ruby GC latency. But I feel like as a society maybe we’re spending these cycles in the wrong place? If we’re going to work on Garbage Collection, could we maybe look at some higher value use cases? Like, say the U.S. Supreme Court.

Watching my nephew's 2nd grade concert (in the U.S.) and they started with an announcement about not posting any recordings but because of "respecting copyright" and to be mindful of filming/photos "for other's experience" but like... no mention of the children's privacy??? wat

Not content with banning native third-party apps, Twitter has continued to cripple their API and move to paid plans for very basic access. I was committed to support Twitter cross-posting as long as possible because there are still Micro.blog customers who want to keep a foot in the Twitter world. But we knew it couldn’t last forever. July 15th will be our last day to support cross-posting blog posts to Twitter.
