As a @frame.work laptop owner, the companies recent promotion and inclusion of people in the community who have a long and un-reversed track record for being harmful to other open source communities makes me sad.

Best question from Texas LinuxFest: "If everything is a file in Linux, what kind of file is imposter syndrome?" Answer: /dev/null - you keep writing to it but nothing actually persists. Thanks to everyone who stopped by the Rocky booth. You reminded me why I love this weird, wonderful world.

Argument with a romantic partner? Nah, I prefer the term "emotional debugging/troubleshooting"

Yes, someone in a hot dog costume just hand-delivered Councilor Green a hot dog before starting today's council chat on sidewalk vending.

The 'kin' of ‘napkin’ means "little." ‘Nap’ comes from ‘nape,' which means “tablecloth.” So a napkin is a little tablecloth. 10/10, no notes.

“Whose Line Is It Actually?” an improv show with three comedians and a fact-checker

Could this be one of the first somewhat large scale natural experiments that concretely show data on the prevalence of ad blocking tools? Many affected youtubers have shared their analytics data to help figure out what's happening. www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2025/di...

Theres a reason theres a #clippy in my avatar: #righttorepair New "reverse ransomware" tactics are being used to break the devices you own post-sale, then sell you the fix as a subscription. Let's reform the copyright laws that enable this deceptive behavior: actionnetwork.org/letters/righ...

Happy 30th Anniversary to one of the best 90s movies ever made! Also, one kickass soundtrack.

Artificial Intelligence does weird things, gives delusional responses, because there's a major flaw that makes LLMs unstable, research paper by Mira Murati and her Thinking Machines lab shows. Who else is asking questions may even affect your results! thinkingmachines.ai/blog/defeati...

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported. Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad. We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge? It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

Just made my own custom feed using @skyfeed.app! This feed surfaces posts that link to git forges other than github, so you can discover cool new projects more easily. bsky.app/profile/did:... #opensource #forge #git #githubalternative #software #codeforges #developers #community

What was the @hankgreen.bsky.social video where the key point was something about "ask yourself whether you can afford to financially contribute to something - that is enough" Can't find the video but love the idea and think it has interesting applications for crowd funding open source communities

Current running dad joke: Pronounce popsicles as if it’s a Greek Philosopher

I accidentally sent flowers online. Whoops. e-Daisies.

Have you ever had to undo a really long way in @inkscape.org and realized it makes such a good timelapse of your work that you gotta do it again and record it with OBS? recording your redo history as a timelapse should be a feature!

Which of elons children did he launch into space this time?!

This would be so cool!!! Let's go back to older technology, especially where the new stuff doesn't respect your rights as a person or respect your consent preferences when it comes to privacy.

What if a movie featured two men only speaking about the Bechdel test?

Seems like most people take their political humor/mockery straight to text posts or maybe static meme images. Some seem to be meming in video form. But is anyone meming in audio form? Example: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_74N..., or maybe some kind of mashup/remix edit that uses clips ridiculously

Any renters around? I had this idea for a browser add-on thats like a password manager except it looks for when you submit your name, address, or phone number to websites and keeps an (encrypted) log of which sites have which information about you.

Could this be the first time public pressure (accelerated by the internet) caused a policy change at a company? www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUpZ...

An Open Source sustainability story in two slides. (for a coming talk of mine) Slide 1: car brands using #curl Slide 2: car brands sponsoring or paying for #curl support

You don't need any more justification than "this no longer serves me" to make a change in your life. Really. So you'e no longer the version of you that aligned w/ the old thing. So what. Turns out you don't need to explain-- or defy-- the universal truth that humans change.

So far my favorite uses of AI have been for the purposes of humor and memes. Making the world a happier place by bringing our weird, hilarious ideas to life makes everything a little better. Example: @diaperdiplomacy-m.bsky.social

The view from the International Space Station as an aurora meets the sunrise in space.

Did anyone else see this and immediately think "enderman"?

For you and me. This is overwhelming. We must be aware of the whole situation but focus on our role, situation, & ability to impact change. Questions to ask yourself. 1) What is the most you can do? 2) Who can you get to do it with you? 3) What helps you be successful? 4) how do you recover?

The Linus Torvalds method? Build the engine first—the rest can come later. 🚗 Hear why he prioritized a powerful core over a friendly UI for Git, creating technology that has lasted for decades. ⚙️ Learn more in our full interview. ⬇️ github.blog/open-source/...

Mom: "where are you? Are you okay?" Me: "I'm just at Abercrombie & Fitch"

In 148 days (July 22nd, 2025), Duke Nukem Forever will have been released for exactly as long as it took to release since its announcement. Mark your calendars.

I present: more information than you ever wanted to know about fish www.youtube.com/watch?v=-C3l...

This weekend feels like the kind of weekend for gathering some friends, getting some drinks, helping a stranger out, or meeting a neighbor. Community means so much more when it bridges the forces that divide us and puts us in control of what we say and what we believe.

@techconnectify.bsky.social (and of course I'm asking mostly because its funny to say) Have you tried the freeze dried refried beans yet?

The town of Comfort has established a store that doesn't take money, but gives supplies, and comfort, to those who drop by.

Life goals: inspire the kind of joy and smiles at a level half as good as this guy en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unipiper

Looking for inspiration, I browsed through some old prototypes. Here's one that's absolutely exhausting to play.

Love to see companies supporting the communities they rely on!

Congrats to the bazzite team for building excellent, intuitive software!

"Never separate the life you lead from the words you speak" Feels kinda poetic tbh

Back when I was working on Dusk, I stumbled on this easter egg in the Korg Minilogue. If you move the filter while it's starting up, it's starts a game of breakout.

I just invented the micro-micro-retirement. You take it EVERY SINGLE week, and it’s where you don’t work on Saturday and Sunday

🧵 Technical leadership in open source isn't about control — it's about stewardship. In OSS, you don’t manage people. You manage trust.

CPSC out of context is pretty funny

I've been using Git since it was invented and "yours" and "theirs" might as well be "hnunch" and "grwinf" for all they make sense to me as names for "the branch I'm rebasing main" and "the I'm rebasing *onto*". I have to look at the contents every. single. time. to figure out which one means which.

You could make a really fun clock out of this www.youtube.com/watch?v=rf-e...
