Open source is fundamentally about people. It's an important value to me to pay that forward and throw a few dollars when I can to these champions of our industry. I appreciate GitHub sponsorship & Open Collective for making it really easy to do so. In the corporate world, it's my belief that organizations have a duty as well to harness their vast resources and pay these same maintainers their dues since they benefit the most off that labour.

The ADHD experience is having a growing collection of empty notebooks, pristine water bottles, and untouched to-do apps, each one a monument to good intentions.

All the stuff in your house used to be money. And all that money used to be time.

So McDonald's is giving away free fries for the rest of the year... ... if you use their mobile app ... and agree to the updated terms and conditions ... which say: if you use this app you waive your right to trial in any class action lawsuits against McDonalds." We live in the lamest dystopia. The stuff that got edited out of Snow Crash.

If you finally found the solution to your coding problem in a deep comment or something after having dozens of tabs open, you should write about it in your own blog. Really. Describe the problem in your own words and the solution for it, even if the solution seems really obvious now. Doesn’t matter. Give credit and whatever, but use your own words because you will be surprised at how many people will land on it. Write the blog post you wish you had found.

So.. you are “just not that into politics?” -Your Boss is -Your Landlord is -Your Insurance Company is And everyday they use their political power to keep your pay low, raise rent, and deny you coverage. It’s time to get into politics.

People will have an "evil arc" and it's literally just setting healthy boundaries.

The last few weeks of doing dev work has made me realize that maybe I'm ready to be a software engineer again, although I'd prefer something in a leadership role rather than being the one cranking out code. So if anyone is interested in me, I have a long, proven track record of building software that you've probably used and solving interesting problems to make it possible, and bringing interdisciplinary skills to the table to do so. My résumé is at https://beesbuzz.biz/resume #GetFediHired

Just caught up on the @packagingcon@fosstodon.org day 1 stream. Lots of great content.

PSA to other folks who also frequently schedule meetings across the Atlantic: DST ends this Sunday in Europe but it doesn’t end until the following Sunday in the US—because if we’re going to fuck with the clocks let’s maximize the chaos and fuck with them at different times, sure, why not.

I have lived long enough to see the phase "there's an app for that" go from a marketing slogan to a threat

I still hate the new Slack UI.

never hurts to be reminded of the 4 mental health quick fix bandaids: if you hate everyone, eat if you feel like everyone hates you, sleep if you feel like you hate yourself, shower if you feel like everyone hates everyone, stop doomscrolling

Open source is more than just code. It's a community of people who are passionate about building better software together. Take the 2024 State of #OpenSource Survey and help us celebrate the community: https://www.research.net/r/open-source-initiative.

Community does not scale. Audience scales. Community is decentralized for quality. Audience is centralized for profit. Community is generative. Audience is extractive.

Funny thing with Musk shitting on wikipedia about the money it's wasting is... A free, open collaborative encyclopedia of all human knowledge, so good it's basically the default reference for everything, and it's using this much money Meanwhile tons of tech companies get hyper inflated valuations and absurd amount of VC money for bullshit that is at best not really useful, at worse actively harmful to society. yeah sorry I'm not gonna attack wikipedia for needing budget to run the biggest most useful encyclopedia on earth actually

What COVID19 has taught us about the Zombie Apocalypse is that there will be zombie denialists, zombie virus infection parties, zombie conspiracy theorists, and politicians ruthlessly exploiting lies about zombies to kill off demographics who won't vote for them—and when a vaccine against Z-virus is invented there will be zombie anti-vaxxers (some of them funded by the Kremlin for shits and giggles).

PSA: "It's hard to find women to speak at events in Tech" - this is pure bullshit 💩 It's hard to convince women to risk attending a mostly-male event when they cannot see your ally-ship, maybe. But there are plenty of smart, highly capable women in Tech that would significantly enhance your event by speaking there. Build your network. Listen to women. Then get a 50:50 women:men organizing team. 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Then listen some more. Maybe then women will say "yes" to your event. #rant
