Retired old people who aren't just ... busy being sick and dying give back to their communities in HUGE ways. We had someone's grandpa come to our robotics competition to cheer the team on. The old people in my building do all the serious political organizing and man the polls. I'm too busy working being in my 40s and all that. Raising retirement ages takes away more than just "retirement" ... it makes everything harder. Far as I'm concerned it should be 59.

This isn't a subtoot of anyone, I'm just responding to something I read earlier and immediately forgot the source of: The reason that queer and trans people are so afraid right now is not because it's necessarily *worse* for us than it was in the 1990s. For me, it's worse now because it represents such an incredible backslide from the very recent past. It's also worse now because of how violent, specific, and individual the threats are. There is a sense that the gloves are off, and hurting us is overtly the point - the veneer of civility is gone. The fact that most people (off the Fediverse, largely) are not responding uniquely to this unique level of hostility is worrying, to me! There's also a demographic problem happening right now that was never present before: As we come out, and as we choose to be visible, our true number becomes more apparent. The other side doesn't seem very chill about the fact that like three queer or trans people could simultaneously citizen's-arrest every cop in the US! The transphobes are responding to the actuality of trans people now, not the fictional idea that someone, somewhere, was transgender. That is new, and I think it's dangerous. #trans #queer

It's truly an astounding failure of our society to let large companies just openly steal all information they can and then sell it on as if it's something they're making and the whole thing is totally normal and ethical. The wonders of the tech industry never cease.

If you were interested in what Sarah Novotny mentioned at #StateOfOpenCon #SOOCon24 about understanding how much Open Source you use, as well as some of the risks of using it, y'all may be very interested to come to my talk about dependency-management-data which aims to give you exactly this, with just Free and Open Source and Open APIs 👀
A few hours until my talk at #StateOfOpenCon talk, and I'm now happy with my slides + writeup. Looking forward to share it with y'all 🛸

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.

It's hard to see why "clean" Git commits are useful if you've never done a good `git blame` or `git bisect`. It's also hard to see how useful `git blame` and `git bisect` can be if your Git commits are a mess. Not sure where I'm going with this. #git

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"
