It's objectification for all the right reasons so I'm onboard with it πŸ˜‚

If nginx were a person it would be old enough to drink, so calling it old is realistic given how fast things move and change.

For clarity, I'm also turning 40 this year.

Afraid not, I get the popups and I've had that disabled for a long time. I suspect it's like Do Not Track - it's expected that it is respected, rather than enforced.

Timezones are so weird. Australia is in 2026, Canada is in 2025, and the United States is in 1939.

The headline looks good, but I'm less keen on this bit:

"Why it matters: The great unchurching of America comes as identity and reality are increasingly shaped by non-institutional spiritual sources β€” YouTube mystics, TikTok tarot, digital skeptics, folk saints and AI-generated prayer bots."

Looks like I'm going to be speaking about Cluster API at @containerdays.bsky.social in London next February! πŸ₯³

I am a Brit who voted remain and I completely agree that if we were to rejoin then we should receive no special treatment whatsoever. But what you suggest is unnecessarily punitive and vindictive. You're taking aim at Britain rather than Brexit and you just want to humiliate and punish.
