If you believe a group of workers shouldn't take strike action because they are vital to the running of the country then, by that same logic, you should support them when they demand better than real-terms pay cuts so they don't have to resort to strike action in the first place.
If nothing else Mastodon is introducing people into the whole Open Source tradition of trying to be enthusiastic about something really bad that doesn't work at all because you don't want to be rude to the maintainers and the thing you really want to use doesn't work anymore.
With everyone moving towards the #Fediverse, you can still follow me at @www.jvt.me - big thanks to Ryan Barrett for https://fed.brid.gy and making it a breeze to take my existing website and federate it out. My Atom feed may not be working perfectly though, I'll look to improve it in the coming weeks if it's looking a bit janky!

If you sent me a message and I never responded,
Just know that I stress about it every single day because I haven’t figured out how to respond so I feel immense guilt every time I see that unanswered message…
OR I’ve forgotten that your message (and you) even exist.
If one man can buy one of the world's biggest social media platforms because he's bored, that's a pretty strong indication we are not taxing the rich anywhere near as much as we should
This week we turn the mics on ourselves, kind of. Lars Wikman joins the show to give us a guided tour through ID3 esoterica and the shiny new open source Elixir library he developed for us. We talk about what ID3 is, its many versions, what it aims to be and what it could have been, how our library project got started,...

Folks who've printed stickers in the UK in the last couple of years - who'd you recommend? Happy to pay a little more for quality, but only looking at getting a small batch of stickers 👀
In this episode, we’re joined by tech Lawyer Luis Villa to explore the question, who owns code? The company, the engineer, the team? What about when you’re using AI, Machine learning, GitHub Copilot… is that still your code?
I’ve been doing this “reliability” stuff for a little while now (~5 years), at companies ranging from about 20 developers to over 2,000. I’ve always cared primarily about the software elements I describe as living “outside” the application – like, how does it get its configuration? What kinds of instances does it run on, and are those the best kinds to use? What steps does it take on its path from “code in a repository” to “running in production”? And I’ve always kept track of what I liked – which mechanisms allowed fast iteration and which caused frustration, which led to outages and which prevented them.

RT @abbott567 Truth bomb. The culture in most orgs is ableist. Accessibility is undervalued, underfunded and deprioritised. Specialists are disempowered, outnumbered and ignored. Middle-management would rather use their influence for exemptions than for culture change. Do better! Rant over.✌️
Full Stack Developers Wes Bos and Scott Tolinski dive deep into web development topics, explaining how they work and talking about their own experiences. They cover from JavaScript frameworks like React, to the latest advancements in CSS to simplifying web tooling.
I don’t think that you can imagine just how excited Gerhard was to find out that Audi, his favourite car company, has a Kubernetes competence centre. We have Sebastian Kister joining us today to tell us why people, followed by tech make the process. The right thing to focus on is the genuine smiles that people give in ...
