My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.

One of my favourite things about Glasgow is all the street art that pops up in places, featuring themed renditions of this spiky blob. I have no idea who’s responsible for it but I love it.
This one is on Dumbarton Road, by the rail bridge near Partick station

Check your backups.
FFS.
CHECK YOUR BACKUPS.
My alerting didn't trigger so I learned there are no valid backups since December 1st (to one of my two offsite locations). And I can't re-enable it because the remote ran out of disk space and zfs holds are funny.
I had to reboot the source machine in the end, and that triggered a new cascade of issues with the nvidia driver updating and totally screwing containerd over.
How did I end up in this place arrrgh.
Check your backups. And alerting.

With determination getting people onto bicycles and out of cars can reduce local pollution in a few years.

Kim Kyung-Hoon took this photo of a press conference by the CEOs of Nissan, Honda and Mitsubishi, and accidentally created the perfect album cover.

Ah, Github's trying to fix that branch name vulnerability with a sledge hammer:
The head ref may contain hidden characters: "\u{1F980}\u{1F980}\u{1F980}"
(U+1F980 is 🦀)

I hate that so many news sites treat online content like this. “Someone” made this? It’d make a lot of people’s days to get credited for their work on a big site like that instead of it just getting credited to “someone”.

consider writing to Luigi to take the meme posting and the jokes to the next level of directly expressing your support to him
tips on how to write prisoners here: https://www.liberationlib.org/become-a-penpal.html
write to:
Luigi Mangione 52503-511
MDC Brooklyn
PO Box 392002

assume all your letters will be read by the feds before he gets to read them. accordingly, consider using a pen name (and tell him, "my pen name is XYZ"), and a return address that isn't your home.
check the mail guidelines before you write/send to ensure your letters get to Luigi:

Things that seem to get missed in "how to solve the housing crisis in Canada" discussions:
* Abolish Airbnb
* Abolish multiple home ownership
* Fund housing co-ops that exist to keep housing prices low for their members, not for-profit solutions that exist to do the exact opposite
* Minimum density requirements to prevent and roll back unsustainable suburb development
I'm not trying to start a big thread of housing policy or "well actuallies" about how my ideas are bad, I'm just venting

I wish there was a way for me to communicate to a certain demographic
That their enemy is not the immigrants, racial minorities or the "blue-hair-and-pronouns" crowd as they see us
It's the rich bros who are trying to turn all our jobs into gig economy style exploitation

If you don't in the WordPress ecosystem, you may not understand how HUGE this post is
https://joost.blog/wordpress-leadership/
Joost is probably the second biggest figure in the entire WP ecosystem, only after Matt M himself. He is the biggest voice from the "Enterprise WordPress" world.
This is not anymore open source contributors complaining about governance. This is the Business WordPress demanding a leadership change and suggesting it either happens or a hard fork, backed by big business, is on the way.

Watching Coffeezilla's latest video on CSGO gambling, and it strikes me how much honesty there is from a lot of the people involved. I don't know what I expected, but it wasn't that.

chaos grumbling
@joepie91 same, i was really disappointed about how much of the program was “ai” related, and not in a critical way. not to mention that so-called “ai” is also deeply anti-hacker. they are closed systems owned by corporations. the only “ai” talks i want to see at something like ccc are about how to burn it to the ground.
