Thinking about how ‘Minimum Viable Product’ and ‘Most Valuable Professional’ share the same acronym.

Still thinking about this bus I rode from Heathrow Airport last night

For the unaware, I want to point out that it takes about 1.5 hours to fly from Heathrow to Glasgow

liberalism: hoping the imagined good parts of the system protect us from the observable bad parts of the system

Het besef van Ilja Leonard Pfeijffer, tot zijn schrik, hoe eenvoudig het was in de jaren 30 en nu dus nog steeds is om in slaap te worden gesust door de traagheid aller dingen en naar een #dictatuur te worden geleid. Hoe gemakkelijk het is om je schouders op te halen bij kleine veranderingen die je niet persoonlijk raken, totdat het moment komt wanneer ze je wel raken en wanneer het te laat is om je er nog zorgen over te maken. #NeoFascisme

Hi fedi! @darius and I are digging into our governance research, and we have a great starter list of server admins to potentially talk to about governance and administration models and challenges, but *very unofficially*, I’d love to hear suggestions, too.

We’re looking at active servers ranging from ~100-2,500 users with some flex on either end of the range, and we’re building our list with an eye on structural, geographic, demographic (along multiple axes), and linguistic diversity.

Please stop making software that’s vulnerable to SQL injection attacks. It’s 2024. Learn about parameterized queries. Please.

Please.

At Torment Nexus, instead of "setting the employee on fire", we prefer to think of it of it as "facilitating the next step of someone's combustion journey"

Ugh, someone set this TfL bus information display to German — clearly it should say “502 to Gateway Spa”

Hydration checkpoint!! When's the last time you had a sip of water?

constructive sabotage idea for anti-capitalists 

Build FOSS software that's clearly better than the alternatives, but make it *exactly* the right amount of hostile-to-corporations; so that it is frustrating to use and slows down business processes, but isn't *so* bad that it justifies buying or developing an alternative

Take advantage of corporations' inability to see the long-term costs resulting from short-term savings. If they can enshittify our software, we can enshittify theirs

Also works with existing projects that are already widely adopted by corporations
