What COVID19 has taught us about the Zombie Apocalypse is that there will be zombie denialists, zombie virus infection parties, zombie conspiracy theorists, and politicians ruthlessly exploiting lies about zombies to kill off demographics who won't vote for them—and when a vaccine against Z-virus is invented there will be zombie anti-vaxxers (some of them funded by the Kremlin for shits and giggles).

the correct way to take paracetamol is to buy a box of paracetamol when you need it, take two paracetamol, then put the rest in the drawer with all the other boxes of paracetamol

PSA: "It's hard to find women to speak at events in Tech" - this is pure bullshit 💩 It's hard to convince women to risk attending a mostly-male event when they cannot see your ally-ship, maybe. But there are plenty of smart, highly capable women in Tech that would significantly enhance your event by speaking there. Build your network. Listen to women. Then get a 50:50 women:men organizing team. 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Then listen some more. Maybe then women will say "yes" to your event. #rant

Hey folks, I've seen a lot of talk going around about adblockers lately. I worked in the advertising technology and security industry for five years and the one core piece of advice I have is: Holy fuck never give an advertiser your data. You cannot believe how bad it is. Don't. I run three layers of ad block protection and I'd run more if it was feasible. If you want to support creators give them money.

Support trans women. That includes the woman from the hood. The loud one.The sexworker. The dropout. The one whose hair aint laid and outfit ain't always on point. The one with clear mental health issues. The one with nowhere to go. Not just the models, writers, and public figures. - Devin Lowe #trans #queer #DecoloniseGender #TransWomen #SistaGirl #SistaGirls #SistersNotCisters

Attached: 1 image Great opening talk at TechMids this morning. Loved this point by Molly Barnes that disabilities are acquired by people later in life. Sight and hearing loss, along with mobility issues come to most older people, not *old* people. #accessibility

Greatly enjoying this #techMids talk from @www.jvt.me@www.jvt.me about software dependencies, but we haven’t got into SBOMs yet … it’s all good info!

Attached: 1 image TIL about https://endoflife.date from @www.jvt.me@www.jvt.me! Part of a great talk about understanding your dependencies at TechMids.

The difference between nudes posted to OnlyFans for subscribers and the same nudes leaked to the public for the purpose of embarrassing one of your critics is consent, you moron.

the "i would never buy an NFT, just think of all the energy they pointlessly burn through" crowd sure has come around fast on "haha i got ChatGPT to write a poem about my butt"

Earlier I was thinking about smaller companies that sell themselves to big ones, and how sometimes no one cares or even notices (e.g. 7digital) that they sold out, vs companies like Bandcamp or flickr where everyone freaks out. It’s a sign of how special the company is to the people who use it. If you’re starting a company, that should be your goal: to create something that would make people freak out and sad if you sold out. A business loved that much is an accomplishment that can’t be measured in $ I started SomaFM because I couldn’t find what I wanted to listen to on the radio. I wanted to create something i would love rather than simply found a startup to make a bunch of money. Creating/Doing something people care about is much better than “increasing shareholder value”.

There are people who are still alive who were alive when it was illegal to be gay. Actually, if you're reading this you're one of them because its STILL illegal to be gay in about 70 countries and in the USA in only the past few days culturally controlling figures like Matt Walsh have supported "conversion therapy" for gay and queer people. Do not take sexual diversity for granted. Because its violently coercive enemies don't. 🏳️‍🌈 #gay #lesbian #lgbt #lgbtq #trans #nonbinary #queer

anyone who declares every problem can be solved by technology is not a serious person 🙄

Every single commit message can be “WIP” for all I care if commits are small changes of well factored, simple code driven by well-written tests co-authored by people having face to face conversations and each one is safely delivered to production.

Please stop referring to Copilot and ChaptGPT as an amazing pairing partner. If you think your mob/pairing partner is there to help you type code in then you’ve misunderstood the real value of mobbing/pairing.

Attached: 1 image The past two nights I wrote a "thread reader app" for BlueSky. https://skyview.social Oh boy. The protocol is absolutely insane. RPC galore, responses are only partially typed. The docs are pretty much useless. But the "funniest" part is this: there's no privacy. And I don't mean missing DMs. All your posts are available through API endpoints. Without any authentication. By design. The "invite-only" thing may have you think otherwise. Here are my last 100 posts. https://bsky.social/xrpc/com.atproto.repo.listRecords?repo=badlogic.bsky.social&collection=app.bsky.feed.post
