people say companies don’t innovate but here we are and GitHub is doing terrible things sourceforge could only dream of

Apple peeps: can you please convince your company to not spend any more money on marketing on Twitter? It’s dead, barely works and crawling with bots and Nazis.

It is weird to me just how smooth the transition to pipewire was. Like that thing looks like a miracle with how it came, I tried it, and it *worked* better than what I had before. Especially when you consider how long it took for pulseaudio to be usable

You can now deploy Sqlite Rails apps to production with just a few commands on Fly.io! This changes the game for smaller Rails apps because you don't need the complexity and expense of Redis and MySQL or Postgres to run the full stack for a small-to-medium size app. More at https://fly.io/ruby-dispatch/sqlite-and-rails-in-production/

I'm having trouble finding out which tag is currently checked out. When I do: git checkout tag1 git branch I can't seem to find out which tag I'm on. It only logs: * (no branch) master Is it

The power of seeing just one or two other people wearing a mask while I am wearing a mask in a big public space is something I think we don't talk about enough. Maybe we can't fix each other's risk overall but you decrease my isolation and the potential negative attention of other people on me and as a covid disabled person in this terrible world, that really matters

Content warning: 9/11 curmudgeonry

The reason we're still talking about 9/11 and ignoring COVID is because 9/11 served as a pretext and COVID was seen as an inconvenience by the ruling elite. And even they seem bored with it, to be honest.

What the hell are Slack playing at? Do they not use their own product?

I really do need to update my blogroll. Yeah maybe only 3 people will be on it, but I need to start there, sigh.

After *years* of mild bemusement about why an adult would enjoy building Lego, my wife has suddenly become obsessed with building Lego, and has decided she needs to buy ’the biggest ever Lego set’. Although she does still insist on calling it Legos because she knows how much it infuriates me.

cool fact: the original luddites didn’t oppose technology but rather the bosses using new tech to disenfranchise workers! the bosses then had the luddites murdered in the streets and their arguments were replaced with “tech bad 🤢” to prevent others from carrying on their challenge to industrial authorities

"It takes a village" is not just about raising children. It's also about marriages, living with people, friendships, and any form of relationship and nurturing growth in a community. Marriages and long term relationships need support too. #CommunitiesMatter #FindYourVillage

🆕 blog! “Who reads my blog?” Hello! Thank you for reading what I write. Sorry to ask, but… who are you? I was chatting to a friend about what it is like running a blog, finding new topics, keeping up with a daily schedule, moderating comments, etc. And they asked, quite reasonably, "who are your readers?"

Boy, I really love this.
