You're never going to get me to feel bad about people who voted for Trump and are now suffering under his policies.
I don't care if they're "on our side" now. I'm never going to trust you because as soon as you're no longer personally suffering, you'll be right back to trying to harm others.

We lost our cat Stitch a couple weeks ago. She was 13 years old. She had a fast-growing form of bone cancer, osteosarcoma. …
A prescription is required to receive the Covid vaccine this fall. Gatekeeping routine vaccines is stupid. And, making the Covid vaccine more difficult to get WILL result in more health complications and deaths. 😑
Artificial intelligence company Anthropic has agreed to pay $1.5 billion to settle a class-action lawsuit by book authors who say the company took pirated copies of their works to train its chatbot.
That is the worst! Dammit Jamie! lol
Also when you're specifically asking the community for their opinion on something and people just wait for some opinion they agree with rather than adding their nuance.
The Register recently published a story titled Putin on the code: DoD reportedly relies on utility written by Russian dev. They should be ashamed of this story. This poor open source developer is getting beat up now to score some internet points. It’s very upsetting.
But anyway, let’s look at some receipts.
If you’re not real smrt, it seems like pointing out an open source project is written by one person in a country you don’t like is a bad thing. It could be. But it also could be the software running THE WHOLE F*CKING PLANET is written by one person. In a country. But we have no idea which country. It’s not the same person mind you, but it’s one person.
I've spent today wrapping up my final day at @giantswarm.io.
The past 4 years have been increadible and I've learnt so much and managed to achieve way more than I ever expected. I'm so thankful to all the wonderful colleagues I've had over my time there and wish them all the best without me! 💙
I think I might have already said this but as I’ve been looking for new jobs, it’s come up again:
If you’ve pivoted your entire company’s messaging to be focused on how your product serves AI, your product probably isn’t that valuable on its own.
In some ways… working in open source with people in opposite time zones feels like coding penpals 😂
I wake up, and it’s like… oooo what new letters did I get in the mail today??? ✉️🎁
Some personal news: I'm moving back to the US. This isn't sad for me, and I don't want to hear any weird judgy comments about it. See y'all in the next few months!

When you're burned out in life but starting a new role now means you're bringing that along ;-;
Funny how in the past it was the reverse for me, burned out at work meant that quality of free time became nonexistent.
My dad has a news alert for my name and he has recently taken to texting me a screenshot every time I come up somewhere, as if I don't remember doing that interview or whatever. He's adorable
Not siding with Carano or anything but THIS is where you draw the line?
Not filming Mulan in a concentration camp, or defacing a child's grave because his dad put Spiderman on it, or the numerous deaths in their parks or cruises covered with hush money... but the bigoted actress is your line?
