This is how. Greta Thunberg spits fire and gives you the only media training you may ever need.

i have said this before but this is why it was and is important not to ignore the “NPC” language. these people really believe that other human beings are not real, with all the consequences that flow from this

In 1995, Jeff Bezos's parents, Jackie and Mike Bezos, invested $245,573 in Amazon.com, which was a loan to help Bezos start his online bookstore. Entrepreneurship is a carnival game.

I'm featured in the latest episode of @tuple.app's #distributed podcast talking about remote work, loneliness, legacy system modernization and why relationships matter. tuple.app/distributed/...

Before you switch into weekend mode, here's a chance to revisit the thought-provoking sessions from DDD Europe 2023. Make sure you're part of the next conversation in only 2 weeks - tickets are available! Watch:

Trans people are such a threat to authoritarianism because we prove that so many of the rules are completely made up. There is no set way that you're supposed to live. If we can refuse to be assigned a gender we don't like, we can refuse other things that are "set in stone," too.

Love @tuple.app I use it ever day.

Tony Benn was born 100 years ago today. A hero of mine, he was steeped in the English radical tradition while maintaining an internationalist outlook. As we struggle to defend democracy against those who seek to avoid accountability, his five questions to ask the powerful are worth remembering

Something to think about

and think of all the people who aren't white ladies that this is happening to who won't get in the newspapers

Unbelievable; horrifying. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Hey friends, I'm building a homelab server as a vehicle for learning more about dev/gitops. I want to completely script the build of everything that runs on there, with all the changes under source control. After some research I've installed Proxmox, which will create Virtual Machines or LXCs.

In the context of an automated test, what is the opposite of an incidental detail? A pertinent detail? cc @gdinwiddie.bsky.social

R I P Roy,,, you will be missed 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Ouch.

Aw fuck first Angie Stone and now Roy Ayers 😢 www.theguardian.com/music/2025/m...

Sonos Era 100 speaker, 14 months old, suddenly stopped working, flashing red and white. Sonos website suggests this is a problem doing a software update. I tried a factory reset as described on their website. It didn’t work. The thing is now bricked.

RIP Angie Stone. Your touch on songs made famous by D’Angelo, Erykah Badu and others as well as your own Black Diamond defined a period of my life. Deepest thanks.

18F, the federal government’s technology shop, was just demolished by Musk’s team. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model. Its cost to government was negligible, its benefits huge. My team there once saved DoD $500 million. A thread about 18F:

Dr Seuss, 1941.

Oh look! Mumford and Sons don't just make the worst kind of bland drivel excuse for music, they are also far-right-loving shit-stains. I didn't think I could hate them any more but it turns out I can. novaramedia.com/2025/02/24/m...

Does your company existentally depend on Open Source? (Almost certainly yes.) But, you aren't funding any of it? (Likely not.) Does this make you nervous? (It should.) Here are smart thoughts on how: https://blog.hartwork.org/posts/how-to-help-open-source/

WIRED is tracking numerous reports of Musk-related shenanigans across the federal govt. We're looking for fed employees open to discussing the activity they're seeing or to help confirm other reports. Anonymity offered. Please use @signal.org (contact dell.3030). Do not use work networks/devices.

The billionaires are the problem, not our friends across the border. The problem is, direct taxation of billionaires won't work, and Canada only has ~60 of them.

We should be much more conscious of how often we use rich as a heuristic for successful and successful as a heuristic for smart.

As @jessebrown.bsky.social pointed out the other day, the problem here is reporting what he says, rather than what he does. In this age of bullshit, actions need to speak louder than words.
