"i use linux as my operating system," i state proudly to the unkempt, bearded man. he swivels around in his desk chair with a devilish gleam in his eyes, ready to mansplain with extreme precision. "actually," he says with a grin, "linux is just the kernel. you use GNU+linux." i don't miss a beat and reply with a smirk, "i use alpine, a distro that doesn't include the GNU coreutils, or any other GNU code. it's linux, but it's not GNU+linux." the smile quickly drops from the man's face. his body begins convulsing and he foams at the mouth as he drop to the floor with a sickly thud. as he writhes around he screams "I-IT WAS COMPILED WITH GCC! THAT MEANS IT'S STILL GNU!" coolly, i reply "if windows was compiled with gcc, would that make it GNU?" i interrupt his response with "and work is being made on the kernel to make it more compiler-agnostic. even if you were correct, you won't be for long." with a sickly wheeze, the last of the man's life is ejected from his body. he lies on the floor, cold and limp. i've womansplained him to death.

twitter and reddit beginning down the paths of self-destruction in the name of preventing scraping and AI abuse demonstrates that the solution to that problem is not going to be a primarily technological one

No, recruiters. I do not want to be part of a "challenging" team. I'm in my mid-50s. I want to be part of a "mature" team, a "powerful" team with a large and well-managed "throughput", a "structured" team that knows how to use processes to quickly and accurately handle the Same Stuff Happens Every Week so that when someone else comes screaming in with their ass on fire babbling about something someone else broke and We Need To Document This Thing NOW NOW NOW, one or two of us can calmly turn from our current tasks, neatly and quickly handle La Emergencia, and calm the panicked person's heartrate without raising our own. I'm old. Fuck "ambition". I just want a good paycheck and no dumbass "this REALLY could have been avoided" hasslepanic.

I have....15 talk invites to triage right now 😳 This is an object lesson in the need to create process before demand, which I deeply believe in and fully did NOT DO FOR MYSELF

How the fuck do you apply terms of service to a service that allows people on other servers to read the data without agreeing to the ToS

I am once again encouraging people to reject the idea that terms of service should have any legal significance whatsoever

As they say, time flies when you’re having fun. I can proudly say that I’ve had a lot of fun since I published my career pivot to community-building blog post in July 2021. 📸 From Berli…

Are you a woman? Do you feel that you’re missing out on men explaining things to you in a way that is simultaneously patronising AND incorrect? Yes, you are? Wonderful! Then simply post about #infosec, #hardware, or #programming and you’ll find what you’re missing in your life, you silly little female. ❤️❤️❤️

"AI Engineer", uh huh, let's be honest, it's more like "AI Whisperer” — you've absolutely no guarantees that the thing is gonna do what you actually want it to. #ai

Attached: 1 image Lest anyone doubt that Twitter was idiotic enough to release code that would cause a race condition and result in its own users executing a DDOS attack on it, here's the network console readout from Firefox showing all the network requests blasting away. Of course I immediately closed out my connection because I'm a good person. Oh, but it's the weekend and Evil Sheldon is in control so I kept the party going for a while since Twitter insisted on it. #TwitterDown #Twitter #MastodonMigration #DDOS #TwitterFail #SelfDDOS

I spent part of my evening working on my website's "speaking" page. I reviewed the archive and found nice things people said about those talks and photos, and it made me quite teary. I was so harsh on myself then, but now I look back to the person I was in 2018 and 2019... I was just a baby. How hopeful I was in those talks. Oh my...

The fundamental problem with how Spez & Elon Musk are running Reddit and Twitter is that they assume people have no choice but to keep posting and reading their sites. This is such a stark contrast from Meta which is eternally paranoid about users growing tired and leaving its apps.

I’ll be honest, my faith in MDN and Mozilla was already on the floor. Think this might be the final nail in the coffin for me https://github.com/mdn/yari/issues/9208
