Do not put it into to debug. Do not put it into to finish a function you’re writing.
Just say no because putting your company’s proprietary code into an AI model that uses it to refine its knowledge is so bad. So so bad.
Ran a Marie Kondo themed retro and at the end of the meeting I asked the team what they thought about the theme.
No one knew who Marie Kondo was, but they liked the emojis they would use to vote.

I have a tiny nuclear family of extreme introverts and we have always lived far away from our extended family.
I had literally no idea just how loud large extroverted family gatherings can be. Everyone’s talking. At the same time.
IT’S SO LOUD.
don’t forget to look out for your single friends today! leave shallow bowls of water out around the garden so they stay hydrated! if you see one struggling try and feed it with a teaspoon of sugar water to help revive them!
Some personal news! 🥳I have agreed to join the incredibly lovely team at @SlingMoney full-time to build something *very* cool (and, selfishly, very helpful to my own life)
It's not out yet but if you wanna get told when it comes out, pop your deets in on sling.money
Y'all if you need something calming and lovely to watch in the evening, I've just started watching "Spring walks" on iPlayer.
It's literally just individual celebrities going on a lovely walk in the countryside and chatting on to themselves. No soundtrack or anything.
It's like... Pastoral ASMR.
As a committer on a couple of medium-popularity projects I couldn't agree more with this:
"Maintaining a successful open source project is Good Will Hunting in reverse. You start out as a respected genius, and end up being a janitor who gets into fights."

When Microsoft leadership feels like GitHub layoffs are not bad enough, they have to increase the pain by forcing people to use MS Teams on their 4y old laptops.
When I share how horrible it is to be left for dead as a medically vulnerable person in the prime of my life people feel sorry for me & say it's unfair
When I point out that not masking in public is what's leaving me for dead - I'm hysterical, crying victim & asking for the moon
tech workers should be very quickly realizing why they need a union right about now
Post details

Today is my last day at Twilio.
I'm going to take some time before officially going on the job market, but if you have anything interesting for my skill set, my DMs are open!
Take care of yourselves and each other 🤗
Good afternoon from Camp Justice at Guantanamo Bay. Some visiting NFL cheerleaders got the Super Sunday festivities underway yesterday with a show during a weightlifting contest at the Navy base gym. The first war court hearing of the year is set for Tuesday.

The @github merge queue public beta filled up basically instantly with Brits; queuing for access to a service that enables queuing is basically like catnip to those folks.
# Hogwarts Legacy: So You Want to Separate the Art From the Artist
So you placed your order for *Hogwarts Legacy* or are considering it. You know J.K. Rowling is a horrible person, or so you've heard, but you really want to enjoy your favourite books' latest game. Sure, she's a little odd when it comes to those trans people, but other than that, she's not all bad, right? Let me enjoy the game, you say, that doesn't mean I support her (the [obvious falsity](https://twitter.com/jk_rowling/status/1580639051774054404) of that aside), and really: what's wrong with it in the first place, huh?
Well, hypothetical stranger I just made up, today is your lucky day! Since you asked…
If you are unwilling to hear any arguments, this text is not for you, but if you ask 'what's the big deal anyway', you've come to the right place.
Let's rewind a little. Until recently, J.K. Rowling was mostly a beloved fantasy author. There were always criticisms of her works (and I don't mean the frankly plebeian style), such as the fact that the goblins, [hook-nosed, hunched bankers with a love for plotting and betrayal](https://www.thejc.com/comment/comment/harry-potter-is-gringotts-picture-antisemitic-1.482785) reside in a building with a [star of david on the floor](https://twitter.com/SamHaft/status/1064232757805617152), the [hasty retcon of a singular Jewish character (with the most cliché name of 'Goldstein')](https://twitter.com/jk_rowling/status/544946669448867841?lang=en), the subplot about the [enslaved servants who love slavery and hate being freed](https://www.theguardian.com/books/2015/dec/24/harry-potter-race-muggles-black-hermione), and so on and so forth, but by and large, most people saw her as the author of their favourite books, and that was it.
Since then, Rowling has come out in support of the current [genocidal](https://www.lemkininstitute.com/statements-new-page/statement-on-the-genocidal-nature-of-the-gender-critical-movement%E2%80%99s-ideology-and-practice) campaign against trans people, ostensibly out of concern for women's rights, despite the fact that [people she has supported](https://twitter.com/jk_rowling/status/1462758716684611597?lang=en) call anti-abortion crusaders ['fine people'](https://twitter.com/Docstockk/status/1540306147328024576), people on her side [sue rape crisis centers](https://unherd.com/2022/07/why-im-suing-survivors-network/), and of course [in spite](https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/voices/stop-using-phony-science-to-justify-transphobia/) of [all known science](https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/beyond-xx-and-xy-the-extraordinary-complexity-of-sex-determination/), in support of [disproven junk science](https://neurosciencenews.com/gender-dysphoria-myth-19878/), [going against](https://publications.aap.org/aapnews/news/19021/AAP-continues-to-support-care-of-transgender) [all major](https://www.ama-assn.org/press-center/press-releases/ama-states-stop-interfering-health-care-transgender-children) [scientific](https://www.apa.org/monitor/2018/09/ce-corner) [organisations](https://www.aap.org/en/news-room/news-releases/aap/2021/frontline-physicians-oppose-legislation-that-interferes-in-or-penalizes-patient-care/), and on the same side as [anti](https://www.vice.com/en/article/93yabp/covid-anti-vaxxers-mocking-trans-people-with-transvaxxite-videos)-[vaxxers](https://www.thepinknews.com/2022/10/01/graham-linehan-covid-transphobia-climate-change/), [far-right](https://nypost.com/2022/09/05/chicago-hospital-teams-with-schools-to-promote-sex-toys-to-kids/) [extremists](https://www.city-journal.org/chicago-childrens-hospital-partners-with-local-school-districts-to-promote-radical-gender-theory), [anti](https://www.thesocialreview.co.uk/2021/01/02/transphobia-and-antisemitism/)-[semites](https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/the-antisemitic-conspiracy-theories-fueling-transphobia/), [more anti-semites](https://chican3ry.medium.com/jk-rowling-gender-ideology-and-antisemitism-7dd043bad37b), [authors of murderous manifests](https://www.thenational.scot/news/19691745.bbc-scandal-lily-cade-calls-trans-women-executed/), and [desinformation oligarchs](https://www.aidsmap.com/news/may-2021/whos-financing-anti-gender-movement-europe). It is no coincidence that [Rowling's public conversion into an avid transphobe](https://www.glamour.com/story/a-complete-breakdown-of-the-jk-rowling-transgender-comments-controversy) corresponds closely with the [skyrocketing of anti-trans bills](https://www.them.us/story/anti-trans-lgbtq-legislation-2023-new-laws), going from [60 bills in 2020 to 131 in 2021](https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2022/10/14/anti-trans-bills/), making 2021 [the worst year at the time](https://www.hrc.org/press-releases/2021-officially-becomes-worst-year-in-recent-history-for-lgbtq-state-legislative-attacks-as-unprecedented-number-of-states-enact-record-shattering-number-of-anti-lgbtq-measures-into-law), and further to a staggering [120 bills in three weeks](https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/over-120-bills-restricting-lgbtq-rights-introduced-nationwide-2023-so-far) in early 2023 alone (that would be 2305 bills this entire year, if kept up)!
So far, so awful. But since you're reading this, that is obviously not enough to convince you, so allow me to present further arguments. Let's talk about *Hogwarts Legacy*.
Let's start with the fact that [Warner Brothers knowingly hired](https://kotaku.com/hogwarts-legacy-lead-designer-used-to-run-anti-social-j-1846316222) a [far-right gamergate youtuber](https://www.cbr.com/hogwarts-legacy-designer-alt-right/) as lead developer for the game, shortly after which details of the game were revealed, including the fact that [aforementioned antisemitic carricatures](https://www.dailydot.com/unclick/harry-potter-goblins-antisemitic-jon-stewart/) would be central to the plot, namely in the form of [a sinister plot and uprising](https://www.dailydot.com/unclick/hogwarts-legacy-goblins-antisemitism/) which includes [kidnapping a child](https://www.dailydot.com/unclick/hogwarts-legacy-antisemitism-goblins-horn/). Let me recap: the greedy, treacherous, hook-nosed bankers who hate regular wizards kidnap a child. If the words 'blood libel' – the belief that Jews steal children, a trope perpetuated in modern-day conspiracy theories about 'grooming' or 'woke indoctrination' – didn't mean anything to you: [now they do](https://www.adl.org/resources/glossary-term/blood-libel-false-incendiary-claim-against-jews). That this rebellion is motivated by the [centuries-long oppression of the goblins, who are denied civil rights, access to wands, and basically left with no business but to run banks (sound familiar?) and the goblins' desire for liberation, how dare they](https://gamerant.com/hogwarts-legacy-goblin-rebellion-history-lore-explained/), is only the cherry on top, as is [featuring a Jewish instrument, which just so happens to be dated in-game to the year of a real-life pogrom](https://wegotthiscovered.com/gaming/hogwarts-legacy-faces-even-more-undeniable-evidence-of-being-antisemitic-as-details-about-goblin-rebellion-match-horrifying-real-life-events/). Oh, and [did you know that Goblins believe workers should own what they produce](https://www.mugglenet.com/2019/03/the-sword-until-recently-known-as-gryffindors/)? That's right, the thinly-veiled jew-stand-ins are Marxists! You might want to look up ['Cultural Bolshevism'](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degenerate_art#Cultural_Bolshevism) (nazis today say ['Cultural Marxism'](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_Marxism_conspiracy_theory)), and take a long hard look at *Deathly Hallows* again (the book).

The worlds largest aircraft prototype is called the Air Lander 10. The helium pumped hybrid aircraft consists of an airplane, airship and helicopter built all in one.
Yesterday I got back from a 5-day @sourcegraph company meetup in Spain.
I'm still in awe at how amazingly well-organized and produced it's been.
Talks and production quality was higher than *a lot* of conferences I've been to in the past. Really cool.

I was just in the middle of typing something and #Windows11 popped up a box about restarting for updates that stole focus. I was typing and pressing space clicked the button to restart so now I’m sat waiting for it to finish as it interrupted what I’m doing

an uwu trans polyam anarchist hacking their way into the united state’s no fly list and blogging it on their super cute website at (name) dot crime dot gay is the most biblically accurate depiction of hacking that i’ve seen in the 21st century
I’ve nominated myself as a rep for my group. I’ve no experience doing anything like this but my union told me they will help whatever way they can even though they can’t get directly involved.
