GitHub Actions: macOS 13 runner image is closing down - GitHub Changelog The macOS 13 runner image will be retired by December 4th, 2025. To raise awareness of the upcoming removal, jobs using macOS 13 will temporarily fail during the scheduled brownout…

So much of the open source community were fearing the day GitHub Actions were going to discontinue support for macOS 13, the last version they were supporting Intel on. Fear no longer, there's options now! github.blog/changelog/20...

and @github.com have done it again >_>
This time they've blasted all my email addresses asking for feedback about the new PR files changed page.

Could these folks make a CM5 carrier board I can stick in a Framework laptop chassis too please

An Australian's criminal history went viral after he annoyed the wrong repair guy An Australian developed software that could repair broken PlayStations. But when he started abusing his customers, they dug into his history.

Rossman is starting a new non-profit, advocating for the right to own the tech you have bought, and has also launched a new website, Consumer Rights Wiki, where anyone can log when manufacturers mistreat customers www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07...

This is interesting. Cetirizine (Zyrtec) is my typical antihistamine (allergy medication). I guess luckily I haven't taken it daily?

I received transphobic Matrix room invites overnight, from what I can tell? (i.e. the room invite itself contained transphobic material)

I'm a bit confused; I don't hang out in trans communities…

So it looks like Google indeed considered this a bug and fixed it in the May security update!

Update: I've given up on my IPv6-only network, for now

My FRC team's planning to meet during the week at some point in the next month, so I'll probably bring it along then!

April social gathering! · Luma We're getting the gang back together again! Welcome to the first new Sydney Python Meetup of 2025, where we're rebooting a monthly gathering all about Python…

We're getting the gang back together again!

​The first #Sydney Python #Meetup of 2025, (a monthly gathering all about #Python 🧑‍💻 ) will be at a venue near Wynyard.

If you love Python and want to hear what we've planned so far come along: lu.ma/ffmm65w2

It's weird to think about the fact that a project I'm tangentially involved with became part of CPython's supply chain. (I wasn't a maintainer of this repo, but I am a member of the org it was in.) github.com/sphinx-doc/s...

Getting an IPv6-only network is tough. Too many things rely on IPv4, especially P2P applications. I'd love it if more of the internet was on IPv6 so I don't have to deal with this mess.

I don't understand why I can still register fingerprints for my Android work profile if they're literally unusable.

Did Google remove being able to use separate fingerprints for the work profile whilst using the same screen lock? I was relying on that behaviour…

I thought I unsubscribed all my alternative emails on my @github.com account from marketing emails. Why did I receive the email about GitHub Copilot Free on all my emails?

I've never been to SYD T1 so I can't say I know the displeasure of those bathrooms

Photo of a bathroom sink at Melbourne Airport. David can be seen in the mirror, holding up a phone to take a photo. There are light bars along the left and right sides of the mirror. At the bottom of the mirror there are three illuminated labels, each with icons below, from left to right: Water 💧, Soap 🫧, Dry (vertical heat waves). The tap, soap dispenser and dryer are out of view.

The airport bathrooms at MEL are really snazzy! Part of me can't help but think the UX might be better if the soap dispenser wasn't between the tap and the dryer though.

About to take off to Melbourne for PyCon AU ✈️👋
