Years ago, @paulcuth introduced me to a life-changing conference. Not only did I find my current job through chatting with people there, but the talks I saw and the people I met throughout the years were the inspiration and acceptance I desperately needed to find. Because of that, I'm over the moon to speak at @ffconf@social.ffconf.org and I hope I can contribute to people feeling as happy at the end of the day as I felt all these previous years as an attendee. See you there? 💖 https://2023.ffconf.org/

holy shit, #Spritely is hiring for Developer Relations - https://spritely.institute/news/hiring-open-source-developer-relations-manager.html - if I was US-based I would be ALL over this :blobfoxbongo:

Hackers are breaching GitHub accounts and inserting malicious code disguised as Dependabot contributions to steal authentication secrets and passwords from developers.

If you ever think to yourself, I want to chat with that person, but I don't want to bother them. STOP, go send them a dm, they may also want to chat with you, but feel too anxious to send a dm. In the worst case scenario they will just ignore you, it's fine. Please do dm people

Hacktoberfest is Flying Ant Day for GitHub

@artcollisions@vis.social The naming was a silly thing. The book was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and then the Gene Wilder movie was financed by the Quaker Oats company who insisted on the name changing as part of cross-promotion of their Wonka brand of candy. And then apparently that didn't even work out because Wonka Bars ended up all melting on store shelves, oops.

[smacks your face] Oh sorry there was some Monday on you. I got it.

> "Do you…want to continue being a backend engineer?" Hey whoa damn way to throw the existential questions at me on a Monday. But I mean yeah. My "full stack" is pear-shaped, with a chunky backend and the simplest frontend I can come up with.

Why should I care enough to read or behold something no one cared enough to actually make?

I think the best response I've seen to AI anything has been, "Why should I bother reading something that nobody could be bothered to write"

PRIVATE git hosting is the easiest thing in the world because git was set up for that long before github, all you need is a directory you're happy to use for it on a server you can ssh into

In case you haven't heard, it's Cybersecurity Awareness Month. Not to be confused with Cyber Security Awareness Month, which has an unfortunate initialism.

Attached: 1 image So apparently dang and the HN crowd are so upset I wrote some messages for HN visitors to our website, that they now banned my home IP address 🙃 Yes, seriously. I get 403s from any device on my home connection, and yet it works fine on 4G. Just when you thought they couldn't get pettier. And no, I haven't been doing any scraping/scripting/anything sus.

one big thing I learned about myself this year: if you acknowledge my work publicly (just anywhere outside of private conversation), I’ll forever be loyal to you. I do so much invisible/glue work that I am weak for this stuff.

Many in tech seem to think that if you disagree with something in tech, you must think that it’s illegal or should be illegal. I think LLMs and diffusion models are unfair and that making or using one is a dick move, but are they illegal copyright violations of the training data? I have no idea, but the repercussions if they aren’t legal would be much wider ranging than most realise.

Sometimes I get a reply that is so monumentally stupid that I really miss quote post dunks.

TikTok removed a comment of mine containing “ACAB” on a video of a cop abusing their powers OKAY THEN

My body is not a temple its a deep space station occupying both a strategically pivotal location and also near an actual (celestial) temple.

deep space 9 is incredible because it’s about what if a shitty strip mall was an ancient religious site and also the pentagon

I somehow managed to accidentally delete /dev/null and it’s unbelievable how much stuff relies on writing data to nothing.SSH just doesn’t startsame with tmuxbash completion doesn’t work and spams ...

"An update on <thing you care about>," says the subject line of the email, and all the ex-Google people go "oh no!" (In-joke, sorry.)

Train OH: (from a stereotypical looking "lad" to some very "lad"ish friends) "and yeah so Brighton is great cos you've got like everyone coexisting, like you're out on the town right and there's everyone out, trans people, everyone, and it's like no big deal" (to which another "lad" replied) "yeah man like it should be, it's chill" Tiny bit of faith restored in UK society

Is everybody ready for their gender presentations today? 🧐

I'm out now. No more hiding. I get to grow breasts and wear dresses and cute shoes! Oh, that shower scene from childhood actually happened? Shit. Oh, "Running Pussy" was a high school nickname that really fucked me up? Shit. Oh, I can't actuall buy cute shoes because I'm a monster. Shit. Oh, people literally want me dead. Shit. Oh, some of those people are related to me and say they love me while *still* wanting me dead. Shit. Oh, I have no idea what my sexuality is and if I try to figure it out I'm a freak. Shit. Oh, this idea pretty much destroyed my life. Shit. Oh, I'm supposed to be so much happier now? Well shit.

Keep this handy for future use!

How RSS works: You post a blog post and RSS puts it on a window sill like a pie and then the stink lines come over to me –a cartoon cat– and I levitate and flutter like a dolphin in the air following the stink lines to the window sill and eat the pie for free.

The fedi isn't like email. The fedi is like if you accidentally triple booked a bdsm convention, a FSF convention, and a communist workers AGM all in the same german arena

For anyone who is considering it for their own org, I shifted my org to a four day workweek several months ago, just as others globally are starting to (including, civil servants in Scotland!) 100% endorse. We are getting the same amount of work done because we are less bored, stressed and tired. We all take off Fridays. Everyone’s pay remained the same. Some people use the time for a paid second gig. Others to volunteer or like me, to read a book with a cat snuggled near by. #4dayworkweek
