Listened to Multitenancy, nerdom, and down with capitalism (even though it's how we earn money) with Ollie Read (@ollieread) by Tech: Off-topic
Post details
Hello 2024, it's Tech: Off-topic here! Mike (⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/ukmadlz⁠⁠⁠ ⁠https://mastodon.social/@ukmadlz⁠) has brought in Ollie Read (⁠⁠⁠⁠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.

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"

not sure who to attribute this to - there is NO reason any of us should have to "thrive in a fast paced environment" or "work well under pressure." most of our daily work is not an emergency and our culture of fake urgency and immediacy just to make more profit for people in the c-suite is burning people out. stop sending people into fight or flight and expecting them to bend over backward because you dont know how plan or manage resources properly

The thing about #tech #layoffs that people who haven’t been through it often don’t understand is that morale never recovers. The employees who remain will never have the same relationship with that company, bosses or peers. Watching people you respect pack their stuff and crying on the phone with their spouses is something that never goes away. When I survived a layoff in my 20s I became a “do exactly what the ticket says” person. I stopped suggesting ideas, providing feedback, believing anything a manager told me. If you are a company considering layoffs, especially a profitable company, you should approach it as “this department will have 100% turnover”. The second I got another job offer I left that company and six months later nobody who had been there at the time of layoffs remained. I’ve seen that pattern play out multiple times.

It *really* grosses me out when I see/hear YouTubers and Podcasters promoting BetterHelp. They should have gone out of business when this happened. https://www.ftc.gov/legal-library/browse/cases-proceedings/2023169-betterhelp-inc-matter https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2023/03/ftc-ban-betterhelp-revealing-consumers-data-including-sensitive-mental-health-information-facebook

If you've ever wondered why some Wi-Fi is free (like in hotels), it's because typically data about your browsing is sold to countless ad companies that will happily buy it. Had to use the hotel WiFi recently on a trip, and after clicking "agree" to their terms of service, the Little Snitch firewall on my Mac went bonkers. I must have denied 20-30 outbound requests to advertising networks. It still worked, though, so I'm guessing I didn't manage to block all of it.

Random thought I had earlier that I'd like to run by some #FLOSS software people or FLOSS lawyers: Could we start a "union" of FLOSS software developers that would support us legally and help us bargain for better terms when negotiating license exceptions, support contracts, etc.? 🧵

Today I've been emailed by both Clever Cloud and Heroku around "your account hasn't been used in some time so we're gonna delete it" - coincidence, or is today their "clean up all the old accounts day"?
