It's not "agile" unless it's from the Átlassian region of France, otherwise it's just sparkling chaos
I would love to congratulate @Raspberry_Pi@raspberrypi.social on the new Raspberry Pi 5 launch but they blocked me and a bunch of others for suggesting that hiring an undercover police officer to build surveillance tech would seem a bit dodge. #RaspberryPi #RaspberryPi5
Content warning: negativity, corporate bullshit, copaganda, Raspberry Pi
How do I begin to explain to you why surveillance cops are bad, and why #RaspberryPi hiring an ex spy cop _because_ he used Pis for surveillance and deciding all the criticism came from an organised dogpile and not from marginalised people with something to lose from police surveillance was bad? And why their reaction of immediately blocking everyone and whining to the media was bad? Anyway, that’s why I can’t buy a Raspberry Pi 5 https://petapixel.com/2022/12/09/raspberry-pi-under-fire-by-creators-who-are-upset-it-hired-a-former-cop/
Baffling timing for Epic layoffs, I would have thought they’d want to be sending “having our shit together” vibes following the Unity saga
I'm not just saying this because I'm on the OpenUK board ... State of Open Con last year was amazing, and I expect it to be even better in 2024! Open source software, open data, and open hardware all in one event. As a bonus, it's on the Tuesday after FOSDEM, so we can all travel together on the Eurostar from Brussels to London on Monday 😁 https://stateofopencon.com

Does the new Raspberry Pi 5 come with a cop, or have we all forgotten about that?
With the release + rebrand of Mend Renovate Community Edition (previously known as Renovate On Prem), I've updated my post on running it on Fly.io to take into account the new config + naming

ElectricSQL is a project that offers a local-first sync layer for web and mobile apps, Ned Batchelder writes about the myth of the myth of “learning styles”, Carl Johnson thinks XML is better than YAML, Berkan Sasmaz defines and describes “idempotency” & HyperDX is an open source alternative Datadog or New Relic.
Sarah Rainsberger owns technical documentation at Astro. What was her path into open source and technology? It might surprise you. Sarah started as an avid user of the Astro project and turned it into a career. She chats with scott about how important technical writing and documentation is to the end user experience.
Stuart highlights invisible work in open source, emphasizing the importance of documenting and valuing such efforts.

“Or alternately you could just pay me,” the maintainers reply. Sorry, I already bought all this cake
There really should be a thing where once a year all the people who rely on an open source library get together and throw the maintainers of that library a big party. With pizza and cake. The works

Bit gutted to have received my official rejection from speaking at GitHub Universe, after being on the "alternate" (backup) list of speakers, but still chuffed to have made it that far! 1600+ talks proposed this year apparently 🙀

Michael Quiqley from NetFoundry joins Natalie to discuss Zero Trust concepts, why they are important for secure systems & how to implement them in Go.
What's in an npm package? And can we make them smaller? I investigated how npm packages are compressed using gzip and what it might looking like to switch to a modern compressor like Brotli or zstd #node #nodejs #npm #javascript https://jamiemagee.co.uk/blog/honey-i-shrunk-the-npm-package/
In a recent study titled Usage and Attribution of Stack Overflow Code Snippets in GitHub Projects, an answer I wrote almost a decade ago was found to be the most copied snippet on Stack Overflow. Ironically it happens to be buggy.
