Hello 2024, it's Tech: Off-topic here! Mike (ā ā ā https://twitter.com/ukmadlzā ā ā ā https://mastodon.social/@ukmadlzā ) has brought in Ollie Read (ā ā ā ā https://twitter.com/ollieread https://phpc.social/@ollieread) to talk tech and what's happened recently. However, that barely happens and the tangents are strong. We end up talking about: Multitenancy in software (you can ask Ollie about that all you want) RGB & Camera stuff (thanks to tech difficulties) Gundam, Warhammer, and hobbyist "plastic crack" Corporations and patent fights https://news.sky.com/story/apple-watch-to-lose-feature-after-us-court-reinstates-sales-ban-over-patent-dispute-13050692 Super rich (plenty of tech money) spending lots of money to build a city... https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/jan/17/tech-billionaire-new-city-plan-california-forever-san-francisco Pothole robots https://news.sky.com/story/hertfordshire-worlds-first-pothole-preventing-robot-to-hit-roads-in-test-rollout-13045036 This episode has plenty of side quest adventures so enjoy the chaos

Shared this privately, but it's worth repeating it publicly: As a platform showing advertisements, you MUST have controls in place to allow people to opt out of certain categories of ads, e.g., those featuring violence, casinos/gambling, weight loss/AI body tuning, or alcohol/drug consumption. Not having that makes your platform unsafe and promotes an unhealthy society.
asking for a friendā can anyone hook me up with someone who knows about #techunions (#unionizing at a #tech company)? she and some of her colleagues just got screwed out of a raise based on sales and workflow metrics they had no control over and theyāre ready to revolt
Someone: *complains about CORS errors* Me: Of CORS it's broken.
Sitting in a restaurant in Portland while two guys next to me talk about bear hunting, when to go, what to shoot, whether to shoot grizzly or polar bear, when you can shoot juveniles and females ⦠I'm starting to cry when one says "I can't really shoot polar bear too late in the season because I don't have the right lens." They are photographers. I love you Portland.
tfw you get to ask IT and security to revoke a bunch of your creds š sweet freedom!!
It's hard to see why "clean" Git commits are useful if you've never done a good `git blame` or `git bisect`. It's also hard to see how useful `git blame` and `git bisect` can be if your Git commits are a mess. Not sure where I'm going with this. #git
Sure, drop me an email at hihttp://jamietanna.co.uk (I don't have DMs set up through my Fediverse server)
Chatting with one of the recruiters I know, the answers are yes we do, and no, it's not a b2b contract. I can put you in touch with them to get more concrete answers?
Yeah it was, I've send an update to make it a reply, but looks like most of the servers ignored it š

@www.jvt.me@www.jvt.me I love this! Did it ever cause trouble/drama at any place you worked at? Even granted youāre allowed to disclose, I assume being public about it could surface some bitterness amongst colleagues?
Quick answer is https://www.jvt.me/posts/2022/09/21/year-later-salary-history/ and slower answer is "I'll reply tomorrow" š
I've seen some internally, but not externally, sorry - my own salary is public if that helps as a guide š¤š½
i'm being asked to "develop a career plan", why can't people just be as surprised as i am that i'm still alive and leave it at that
github tip: you can use "redirect.github.com" when referencing an issue/PR from another repo inside an issue/PR in your repo this will avoid your issue getting backlinked into the other repo's issue, reducing noise. example: "github.com/nodejs/node/6969" becomes: "redirect.github.com/nodejs/node/6969"
Boosts are not necessarily endorsements because I often scroll through my timeline without reading anything and instead treat it like Guitar Hero where I tap on stars and boosts whenever the beat feels right.
āso Luna, what did you get up to today?ā Iām so glad you asked!

Iāve helped organize two meetups in London. Only a few would show up for the first one. āBecause itās raining, people rather not go outsideā, the other organizers told me. So the next one I hosted was in the summer. Only a few would show up for that one. āBecause itās not raining, people rather be outsideā the other organizers told me.
@heydon@front-end.social Despite so much evidence, people just refuse to listen. CAPTCHA companies have no incentive to tell implementers that the crap tun of data collected by people solving CAPTCHAs is their business model.
@ppatel@mstdn.social People don't talk enough about how fucking shit CAPTCHA is. It doesn't even catch spam effectively. In my last contract I argued and argued to replace it with a honey pot. We did so and went from 100 plus spam emails a day to zero, and got rid of the accessibility barrier with it.

The plenary speakers for #StateOfOpenCon are up on the website - and, the whole schedule is packed with fantastic expertise. Exciting to be a liaison for all of these speakers! Some community tickets are available. https://stateofopencon.com
Even if you ignore everything else, all the theft and fraud and exploitation, all the waste, all the manipulation, all of it. Generative AI is still unreliable. I don't understand why people are so eager to use an unreliable tool. Like, yeah, I love those wobbly hammers! It makes no sense.
People say content is being locked up in proprietary silos but look all I had to do to get an RSS feed of articles on a certain site was install a mitm proxy to intercept their mobile app's requests, fake an SSL certificate to inspect them, reverse engineer their internal APIs, then write a script to discretely query aforementioned APIs and generate an RSS feed file on a schedule. Simple! š #indieweb #rss
