Attached: 4 images After god knows how many years of work, the people behind the #StarWars 4K project have released the final installment. For those who don't know: a group of dedicated restorers, unhappy with the reworked Special Editions, hunted down, scanned and restored the original 35mm theatrical prints of the first Star Wars trilogy in Ultra High Definition. They're better than the official blurays. Incredible work, not only in terms of authentic content but even the picture quality is superior.
I'm on Changelog and Friends! (2 mins read).
Announcing my first podcast appearance on Changelog and Friends, talking about salary history, the IndieWeb, ADHD and dependency-management-data, among other things.
You should listen to The Changelog (5 mins read).
Why you should really be adding The Changelog (and its network of podcasts) to your rotation of tech podcasts.
@changelog did you know @www.jvt.me@www.jvt.me has a website?!
🕺 It’s a new Changelog & Friends! @www.jvt.me@www.jvt.me (who has a website) joins @jerod & @adam to discuss the indie web, living with ADHD, sharing his salary history with the world & building DMD – a dynamite open source tool to help you better understand the use of dependencies across your org. 🎧 https://changelog.com/friends/31 #indieweb #adhd #dependencies #podcast
oh: you've heard of github actions, but are you ready for github consequences?
The electricity and water use required by data centres is becoming cause for concern. Iowa and Ireland are calling for moratoriums on new development projects. Microsoft’s global water consumption ...

If you have a problem with maintainers getting paid then you have a problem with me and I suggest you let that one marinate.

Robby has a conversation with John Nunemaker, the Owner at “Box Out Sports” and “Fewer & Faster”, about the crucial importance of keeping dependencies and versions up to date when maintaining software projects, the benefits of using tools like Dependabot to help with dependency management, how dangerous a change is from a dependency, how John enjoys seeking out the dark corners of a codebase to improve those areas, and much more. Stay tuned!
Very excited to see that the videos from #StateOfOpenCon #SOOCon24 are up - so if you missed my talk Quantifying Your Reliance on Open Source Software with #DependencyManagementData, you can find the recording on YouTube.

If you're able to see this post (on the Fediverse) yay! That means your admin hasn't blocked Bridgy Fed which I use to bridge my website with the Fediverse so I can chat to y'all.
This is likely due to recent discussion around the upcoming BlueSky bridge and opt-out being the default decision.
I don't dispute the freedom or choice to block Bridgy, and am definitely taking some time to think about how I feel about the varying thoughts, but the main thing is that it looks like several admins have blocked Bridgy altogether, resulting in not just the blocking of the upcoming BlueSky bridge (at a separate domain under brid.gy
) but also classes Bridgy as Tier 0
:
Tier 0 is a combined blocklist of only the worst actors, and it exists to provide one blocklist to which surely no one can object as a baseline for others. It's the perfect starting list for any new mastodon admin.
So it could be my time interacting with the Fediverse is going to be cut short, and I'll be screaming into the void very much moreso 😅

I love owning a house now it's like should we do preventative maintenance on (a million things) or should we put motorized blinds in to the family room for when we watch tv and films. This also explains why all software is bad.

The open-source ecosystem experienced a monumental shift in 2023, as detailed by Martin Woodward, VP of Developer Relations at GitHub, on the Mechanical Ink Podcast. The Octoverse report highlighted that more first-time contributors joined the open-source community than ever before. But why?
Shower thought: With all the data breaches, no matter how private you may be, somewhere in the world exists a hacker that knows exactly what kinks you're into, but is too shy to say hello.

@shockwaver@strangeobject.space I really like the term "temporarily-abled" for describing abled people for this reason. All abled people are only temporarily abled, unless they die suddenly while their bodies are still intact. The more people recognize the ephemeral nature of ability, the more compassionate we become as a society, I hope.

Lots of men in tech see women in tech either as sexual tensions for their own enjoyment or as mentoring opportunities, but never as their equals. This needs to stop. #WomenInTech

Week Notes 24#06 (4 mins read).
What happened in the week of 2024-02-05?
We’re taking you back to the hallway track at THAT Conference where we have 3 MORE fun conversations: one with Samuel Goff about the future of energy, one with YouTuber Jess Chan about the future of content creation & one with Vanessa Villa / Noah Jenkins about ag tech & the future of food.
There's this course called the Missing Semester (https://missing.csail.mit.edu/) that teaches you the practical stuff like using the CLI, shell scripting, Git, Vim, etc. It was created for CS students who apparently don't learn these things in class. But as a biochemistry/microbiology major turned bioinformatician, I need the CS course instead!
This was such a great episode, there's some excellent learnings about building products, shipping awesome stuff, and just some great vibes
This week on The Changelog we’re talking with Nadia Odunayo, founder of StoryGraph.
