Hats off: "Billionaire Elon Musk, found dead in his home last night, says it is not the role of social media networks to determine what is true or not. The Tesla and X owner, who is believed to have died from a heroin overdose while watching animal porn, said he would fight any attempts to stop the spread of misinformation on his platform" https://theshovel.com.au/2024/04/23/elon-musk-dead-at-52-misinformation-laws/

Holy shit, Conan O’Brian on Hot Ones was … holy shit what the hell was that. I don’t know what I was expecting but … holy shit! Talk about committing to the bit - Conan didn’t commit to the bit, he fucking pledged his immortal soul to the bit. I’ve never seen anything quite like that.

@jay@blan.cc If it were me, I’d rather have a termination date then be made “at risk of redundancy”. Limbo is one of the worst places to be, psychologically. So, be sad it’s going but be happy the show is able to wrap it up properly unlike most other cancellations, and then move on to the next thing.

guy VP of engineering on linkedin: “women who code is shutting down? what a travesty! there’s so much money in tech! how can this be happening? can nothing be done?” idk guy, perhaps as a VP OF ENGINEERING YOURSELF you could say what you are doing to help pick up the slack?

I saw this, it's not mine, but I agree wholeheartedly. "Stop acting like you're famous" > The most egregious thing you can do with any activity is daydream about how you can make money off of it. That’s the quickest way to optimize for the wrong things and suck the fun right out of it. https://ajkprojects.com/stopactinglikeyourefamous

It's been ten years, so a short story about the "gotofail" bug. Someone came to me about a catastrophic vulnerability in Apple's TLS implementation. I shit you not, they'd overheard someone at a bar drunkenly bragging about how they were going to sell it to a FVEY intelligence agency for six figures. They didn't know exactly what it was, just some vague details and the key point that it allowed use of the real certificate. This was enough for me to find the bug (yay open source), which would go on to be known as "gotofail", and produce a working exploit in less than a day. The details were anonymously back channelled to Apple, who released a fix. @matthew_d_green@ioc.exchange posted on Twitter about it, concerned by Apple's vague release notes. I used a burner phone to share the details with him anonymously. Then everyone forgot about the whole thing because heartbleed. ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯

As much as I don't think every single project or ecosystem needs its own dedicated FOSS foundation... I would much rather that than have a massive swath of the FOSS commons under the auspices of a single organization. I've not been shy about my views that the Linux Foundation has become a dangerous single point of failure. #OpenSource #FreeSoftware #Governance

One of the most useful things I've learned about writing software is knowing when to say "Nah, this is bad", reset or stash my change, and start again. Nothing you write is providing value until it's landed in main, and even that's not a guarantee. Be more comfortable with throwing away your work if it's not right, and work in small increments so you're less attached to your solutions.

We don't like the "SSO tax," where vendors treat a basic security feature like a luxury to charge users for. And yet, we found a whiff of it in our own pricing! So we fixed it: https://tailscale.com/blog/sso-tax-cut/?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=owned-social&utm_campaign=devrel-social
