This is just another reminder to me that when some people start banging the “free speech” drum, you’re only really free to say sentiments preapproved by the establishment. It’s also easily observed that the people who *say* facts don’t care about feelings consistently and ruthlessly prioritise their discomfort (read: feelings) and use that as feeble justification to reject the facts. Some of you wonder why people like myself couldn’t see you as anything other than a bad-faith actor you present yourselves to be.

So… let me get this straight: Paddy Cosgrave – co-founder & chief executive officer of Web Summit, the largest tech conference in Europe –*correctly* called Israel’s war crimes “war crimes,” originally condemned Hamas’ attack while *correctly* insisting this doesn’t give Israel carte blanche to “break international law,” and everyone from Intel to Siemens is pulling out of the event in response? Listen… you can’t tell me there isn’t a rather coercive and corrupt double standard here.

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).

How retro kick ass is that? Flash is resurrected sans the neglected, proprietary, security ridden, plugin bs of Adobe; thanks to Rust, and modern day sandboxed WebAssembly. No plugin required; small, compact, compatible engine, that unlocks decades of lost SWF content in all its vector visuals, MP3 stereo, and ActionScript-y glory. https://github.com/ruffle-rs/ruffle #flash #adobe #webdev #javascript #rust #retrogaming

Attached: 1 image New #introduction to connect with all the new awesome people here 😊 Hi! I'm Skaly, an awkward neurodivergent queer who makes a lot of projects and does their best to be as ambitious as possible and to work with the different abilities and disabilities and not against them. I make a living from art, and it's super fluid and challenging but I do what I love, music, handmade jewelry, poetry and film. I'm 23 and UK based but looking to move to the US next year. Art stuff: https://linktr.ee/skalymusic

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

super excited to be able to publicly share some of my work from the last few months :) Wanted to use GitHub Actions' OIDC IdP for per-repo access to AWS, but got stuck on AWS session tags not being compatible with GHA's claims? What If: You used an inline session policy https://github.com/Skyscanner/gha-aws-oidc-sample

Attached: 1 image I bought a cup of coffee from Zero Green on North Street, it came in an edible cup. Normally I carry a reusable cup, but I was happy that I'd forgotten to bring it. The woman behind the counter informed me that the edible cup starts to break down after 40 minutes, so it's best to drink up before then. What a fantastic way to reduce waste. Has anyone else tried this? #ZeroGreen #NorthStreetBristol #BS3 #Bedminster #EdibleCup #ZeroWaste #CoffeeCup

Urgh. Got woken up at 3:19am by a test of the earthquake alert system that was supposed to happen at 10:19am... but they accidentally scheduled it in UTC instead of California time zone! I mean, time zones are hard, but still - such a rookie error https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-10-19/california-earthquake-early-warning-test-goes-off-seven-hours-early

Hey folks, I've seen a lot of talk going around about adblockers lately. I worked in the advertising technology and security industry for five years and the one core piece of advice I have is: Holy fuck never give an advertiser your data. You cannot believe how bad it is. Don't. I run three layers of ad block protection and I'd run more if it was feasible. If you want to support creators give them money.
