so @fastly and @github have both made announcements about funding maintainers and open source projects today. excellent news. now as an industry we just need to 1000x the amounts committed and we'd start to make a significant dent on OSS sustainability.

Sometimes the real hack is the friends we made along the way.

“This user’s account is verified because they subscribe to Twitter Blue” is probably more shameful than a hexagon avatar I reckon

Musk right now casually walking through his grand payments vision for Twitter: Users could link their online bank account to Twitter, he says. Then the company will offer "extremely compelling money market account to get extremely high yield on your balance". Add debit cards etc

Matt Hancock on I’m a Celeb is a political move. He is reinventing himself after the appalling way he handled being a senior minister in the pandemic. He dehumanised the population, and now wants you to see him in a better light for his own career & gain. #ImACeleb

It’s annoying to do this for everyone so I’m looking forward to five minutes from now when there’s a browser extension to block these people automatically

Have you considered hiring someone who knows what they're doing instead of running a company based on vibes

“Senior engineers?”

Corey Quinn (@QuinnyPig)Wed, 09 Nov 2022 19:20 GMT

Spreadsheets, JSON files, DNS zones, senior engineers; you can draw whatever semantic distinctions you’d like, but to me they’re all databases.

The way my productivity plummets whenever I use macOS is wild. It's like splashing around in a colorful pile of mud and "we know what you want, stop thinking otherwise" land. Frustrated that tech's …

seems unthinkable that Meta could be laying off 11,000 employees when just weeks ago they were basking in the triumph of "legs are coming soon"

Whatever you think of Dr. Oz, he ran a tough race that he spent a ton of his own money on but still ate shit and that’s funny

honestly he must have just paid $8 for Blue to get that checkmark. no way Musk would purchase this company, roll out an "Official" badge, and then not get it. has to be a fake account. he's not that much of an absolute uncooked potato.

Tierney Cyren (@bitandbang)Wed, 09 Nov 2022 15:22 GMT

please @Twitter, I've found an Elon Musk impersonator - @elonmusk doesn't have the "official" badge please ban the account so nobody gets confused

Much like a person who recently deleted their period tracking app the Republican party appears to have misjudged their anticipated red wave

Why isn't COP27 attendance virtual? That would mean less unnecessary international travel and reduced carbon emissions. It would also lead by example.

TIL git allows for zalgofied branch names... and that is glorious. cc/ @rob_rix @Catfish_Man

Git branches are weird. You can put zalgo text in them after all (as numerous people suggested), or even entire Japanese sentences (since those rarely contain whitespace). (If you use zalgo text, be forewarned, Git might break in weird ways.)

Today's discovery: 1. # is a valid character in git branch names 2. Not every system URI-encodes strings before looking up git references on the web, e.g. via git REST APIs
