last year I looked at why some PCs keep locking the screen while you're trying to get things done and had folks say *their* PC has the opposite problem & keeps waking up: so I took a look at the different reasons that can happen, how to track down what's waking your PC and what you can do about it

Sorry Tom I tried to open Notepad and it crashed

AWS, a distant third in a two horse race is now supplying the lead horse with a racetrack (which is to be fair where a lot of the money is)

it's amazing what you can get when a culture is created by primarily black and trans posters

one of the best tech conferences in the US opens applications for its 2025 DEI program. we'll cover your ticket and provide a travel and accommodation stipend if necessary. @monktoberfest.com is a lovely intimate event in Portland, Maine, October 1/2. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

I told you we’d be back

You know that pasta sauce Galaxy + Gemini ad? It demonstrates something interesting about AI: it is an excellent illustration of the risk of "problem orphaning" with AI. A short thread 1/7 www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8W-...

I told you that the foreshadowing this season was lazy and forced.

Hey MTV I think it’s time for a reboot!

This is as if someone saw David Cronenberg's take on J.G. Ballard's "Crash", but decided that all the flesh and blood and human contact was icky, and they'd rather see it play out on social media.

The whiskey aging process is influenced by time & place. Aren’t we lucky. These barrels have all been influenced by the greatly varying temperatures & humidity levels of their original source and their time in our rick house in Red Hook, Brooklyn.

The ongoing misunderstanding about Bluesky's architecture allowing for decentralization meaning it is unstoppable has me thinking a lot about mutualism. numergent.com/2025-04/Unst...

For those looking for my slides from MonkiGras 2025 last week you can find them here in a google drive. They will stay there, viewable until approx September 2025 or around the end of the year. bit.ly/erioldoesdes...

Really appreciate this history of open source. We can’t ignore the consequences of licensing models and their incentives @chrisjrn.fyi #monkigras

Here’s the full SMBC comic about finding something you can get real weird about I referenced on my #MonkiGras talk, in case anyone missed the URL on the slide. www.smbc-comics.com/comic/weird-4

@jedi.be @ #MonkiGras 2025 talking about what makes you tick, learning from family. Equal != same. Learning paths differ. Sometimes you just have do things.

“If you want to build a sustainable project you need to build a team around it” @iamstan.elmo.sh @ #MonkiGras 2025

Amazing talk on passion plays, craft wine and parallels on software craftsmanship by @ricardo.bsky.social @ #MonkiGras

Labels matter. As @ricardo.bsky.social shares on wine bottle branding, a label can carry meaning and help folks to select a bottle, or avoid it. #monkigras

@cote.io giving his D&D with GenAI talk and the crowd is already full in! And maybe a bit inspired by the cider. #MonkiGras

Here's the talk I'm about to give to a potentially craft cider-sotten crowd at #MonkiGras: cote.io/chatdm/

So many flavors. Should I get the flag one?

For #MonkiGras folks interested in hearing @alex.zenla.io’s @redmonk.com conversation w @rstephens.me you can catch it here: redmonk.com/blog/2025/02...

“Putting trust in someone can be a game-changer” - @luxas.dev - #MonkiGras

#MonkiGras - for those who feel they are overachievers and need some perspective.

It’s easy for people from a non traditional background to think you were lucky but probably you worked hard to get where you are - Alex Zensa on their journey into technology #monkigras

After lunch Alex Zenla tells their incredible story of being a human working in tech from the age of 14. They had been involved in Ubuntu since they were 9... #monkigras

“The Slippery Slope of Volunteering” @miketheman.com #MonkiGras I can already tell this is going to be an absolute mood

@fintanr.bsky.social with some very wise words at #MonkiGras Create a will. Establish a digital legacy plan. Nominate a succesor.

What should an "open source will" for maintainers contain? #monkigras

I'm also thinking about @monkchips.com words on inclusion and respect. Not just at this event, but day-to-day team working. Stark contrasts between the sometimes unconscious bias and ego that I'm seeing on a regular basis. While that knowledge makes me sad, #Monkigras is a positive haven today.

@geekygirldawn.bsky.social @ #MonkiGras on power dynamic changes and minimizing risk.

"People skills sustain a career more than technical skills" Alex Chan, Flickr Foundation #monkigras

Omg Alex Chan is smashing it talking about building things to last. "Will an open source piece of code be supported 20 years into the future". Manual legal processes to approve every node dependency? Good luck with that. #monkigras how do you know what's built to last?

@taylorbar.net kicking off @monkigras.com 2025 - touch grass!

This thread is pure horror. Hippos are like all D&D monsters rolled into one.

Great scott!
