I'm going to be really blunt here: if you don't care about trans people, if you even remotely think there's the slightest hint of merit to the blatant genocidal actions that are going on in the US right now, you can fuck right off from my projects, spaces, and communities. I don't give a fuck about "tech shouldn't be political" garbage takes. Tech is made by people and right-wing legislators in the US are trying to *kill* my colleagues right now. There is no tech without people.

Self or private diagnosis for neurospiciness is valid. Especially these days as it's damn near impossible to get help for mental health issues from the NHS right now.
People in security and computing have been saying for years - there's no cloud. There's just someone else's computer. Right now, there's no AI. There's just someone else's work. Stop calling generative text and image programs AI. It's inaccurate and insulting. They are just the evolution of corporate creative theft that's been going on as long as media corporations have existed.

I absolutely do not have it in my soul to read another pithy blurb by some random exec on linkedin about how AI is transforming our lives when it's currently just regurgitating content stolen from elsewhere and for the last decade, "AI" has been a glossy shell disguising underpaid human labor.
Serverless received significant attention when it first emerged in the middle of the 2010s. And although it has now entered the mainstream and is today used in a diverse range of scenarios and architectures, it nevertheless remains a topic that causes considerable confusion and debate: where should we use it? How should we use it? Sometimes, what even is it, exactly? In this episode of the Technology Podcast, Mike Mason and Prem Chandrasekaran are joined by former Thoughtworker Mike Roberts — author of "the canonical book on serverless," — to discuss the current state of serverless. They examine the ways that serverless is understood today and explore the impacts and challenges it has for both businesses and software developers.

As businesses and individuals, we rely increasingly on digital services in our everyday lives. Our lives have become dependent on technology, from cloud services to mobile phones and streaming sites to the apps we use. And behind these technologies lies open source software. Open source software has become a vital part of building digital services. It has made it possible for developers to collaborate and share code, making it faster and more cost-effective to build software. But with this increase in use, the importance of security planning and governance has also grown. Amanda Brock, CEO of OpenUK, is a leading open-source software and governance expert. She has been an advocate for open source software for over a decade and has seen its impact on the industry. Amanda shares where we are with open source and why we must care about how our software gets put together and where it comes from. Amanda discusses the importance of understanding the source of the code and the licenses used. With the rise of open source software, it is essential to be aware of potential legal issues and ensure compliance with licensing requirements. She also highlights the importance of building and maintaining trust with open source communities and contributing back to them. Amanda also emphasizes the role of governance in ensuring the security and reliability of open source software. She points out that open source projects must have a strong governance structure to ensure that contributors are held accountable and that the code is secure. As Amanda notes, open source software has become too important to ignore. We must ensure that we are not only using it but also contributing to it and supporting its continued growth. By understanding where our software comes from and its governance structure, we can ensure the security and reliability of the technologies we rely on daily. As businesses and individuals, we must recognize the importance of open source software and take steps to ensure its continued growth and success. Sponsored VPN Offer
