I wish we had something in English like FLINTA in German

I had been experimenting with an immutable Linux distro on a dev machine and unfortunately the tooling, documentation, and processes are too disruptive and I've retreated back. I love the concept though.

I think of Georgette from Amélie each time I use eyedrops 😂

Encoding some video on my M4 Pro Mac Mini and it's just happily running at 100% fan and 105° C 😳🔥

Trans leader Miss Major Griffin-Gracy dies Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, a Black transgender woman and longtime activist who once lived in the Bay Area, died October 13.

Rest in Power Miss Major. We all owe you so much. Thank you for everything.

A meme where a chasm labeled "being cool" separates an agender generic silhouette sitting on a side labeled "Idea" from the side labeled "Results" along with a ceramic vase. The second panel shows the chasm suddenly filled with solid material labeled "Being cringe" and the silhouette is jauntily striding across to a golden, sparkly vase on the "Results" side

I feel like this is a useful strategy for confronting fascism that we are seeing play out currently.

Today I needed a bit of code, but instead of asking an LLM I tried writing it myself and wow, this could be a new paradigm

Who could've guessed the desktop environment that uses a racist term to describe customization would be problematic in other ways? 😶

The current incarnation of Spicy Clippy we have at work is "agentic" which I've come to understand means it can directly trash all the files on your drive instantaneously. I don't like it.

Building security in from the start is significantly easier than retrofitting

What Was at Risk? On unpatched Docker Desktop for Windows, any container could: Connect to http://192.168.65.7:2375/ without authentication Create and start a privileged container Mount the host C: drive into that container Gain full access on the Windows host The control plane was exposed to the workloads it was supposed to isolate.

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

If you, a business, are reliant on an open source project to function it is YOUR responsibility to assess and ensure the health of that project by either contributing to it yourself or by using an alternative if project health cannot be guaranteed.
