Really love how David Tennant is so supportive of his non-binary kid, and generally how open and vocal he is on the issues affecting minorities and marginalized communities. Plus, his no bs take here is pretty spot on in regards to how the word "woke" is being used as an insult to ridicule what is essentially just giving a damn about other people.
"It makes me so angry, the way they weaponised this idea of, that, that being asleep is something to aspire to [...] It makes me furious that they should have a minister who would encourage you not to have a crumb of empathy, not to think about what it might be to live so somebody else’s experience."

If you ever see a single person bitching about sex workers advertising on mastodon with the premise that it's "meant to be an ad free space" please tear them a new one.
The circle of safe social media platforms for sex workers keeps growing smaller, mastodon may be one of the only places we have left.
Please don't kick us out too.
Fuck Google. Fuck the executives who signed off and pushed this. Fuck the people who hadn't pushed against this and kept up this long battle of the digital attention economy through ads. I'm not terribly forgiving of those in favor of digital advertisment's rise — any business that requires nonconsentual engagement (and uses it to remain as profitable as possible) is unethical.
Surveillance capitalism is one of the grossest things to exist and despite it being coined recently, that shit is old. As old as overseers. https://infosec.exchange/@catsalad/111426154930652642 (https://jacky.wtf/2023/11/4xxP)
I've given it a lot of time now, and for the record, I still despise the @SlackHQ interface changes. They have taken what used to be at-a-glance or at most 1-click and made it all 3-4 clicks and difficult to find. For no purpose other than "we could". 0 ⭐️ Do not recommend

It’s 11:43pm on a Monday night. My 6-week-old son is asleep in my office so my wife can get some uninterrupted rest for the first half of the night. He’s finally asleep now, and I probably should be also after a full day of work. But I’m not done for the day. Even though I’m a software engineer by trade, I’m also a computer programmer by hobby and passion. So I do what I’ve been doing for well over a decade now: I boot up my computer to write some code.
Putting software in containers is cruel and unnatural.
Programs should be allowed to roam and graze freely on computer systems. Forcibly isolating and constraining them will lead only undue suffering.
Use of technologies such as Docker in systems administration must be ended immediately, there is no ethical justification for inflicting trauma like this in an enlightened society.
In this "free range software manifesto" I will -
Every time I work on a project like that I end up having to put myself through more ceremony to keep the atomic changes and commit messages, and I feel "if y'all would just let me rebase-and-merge or …
In my experience, multiple concepts invariably end up in a non-trivial PR. When a repository uses squash-and-merge then those concepts end up in the same single commit on main and any context is lost.

Rob Pike says, “Simplicity is the art of hiding complexity.” If that’s true, what is simplicity in the context of writing software in Go? Is it even something we should strive for? Can software be too simple? Ian & Kris discuss with return guest sam boyer.
When you work on a project with squash-and-merge as a strategy, you end up splitting concepts across multiple pull requests to make coherent git history that could be untangled later if needed.
Teams throw away the context because they have poor git commit practices, but they have poor git commit practices because they throw all that context away ...
Activity is not the same thing as progress.
You can be extremely busy and do a lot of work but after taking stock, realize you are no closer to your goals and in some cases, you may actually be further away from them.
@mhoye@mastodon.social there was a really good blog post that I can't find now, about how many (most?) feminine-coded hobbies/tasks like sewing, knitting, cooking, lots of housework, etc - are just straight up pure engineering tasks. you don't even have to squint to see it, but society likes to pretend that if it isn't made of concrete or steel, it doesn't count.
I'm pretty sure if a family member had hit my kid with a car causing him to be in a wheelchair & miss a year of school, they'd feel some remorse about it. But because it was done with Covid there's zero societal expectation they'd even think about the impact they had.
If taking care of yourself means letting someone down, then let someone down. Your mental health is more important. YOUR MENTAL HEALTH IS MORE IMPORTANT.
- We really appreciate the work you do for the common good.
Enough to pay us for it so we can continue to exist?
- Don’t be ridiculous, of course not! What do you think we are, communists?
This whole thread is a lot. Expecting better of GH but React inertia is a powerful reality distortion field.

My request to unsubscribe from your newsletter falsely implies that I subscribed in the first place.
What is the point of all the anti-spam legislation and all the regulatory bullshit all over newsletter services when it still seems to be impossible to stop this sort of mass spamming?
Creating a new command-line tool for more easily retrieving Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs) from Snyk, as well as adding licensing information to SBOMs.
