omg it’s literally that meme 🥵

With government shutdown I was expecting some level of market drop but today and yesterday I’ve been checking my portfolio and it keeps going up. Explanation (beyond “this market is not rational“)?

📣 Happening now in Berlin: All Systems Go!, the foundational user-space Linux conference. 👏 Awesome work by Chris Kuehl and all the ASG volunteer team to keep it going. Especially interesting to see them move to a sponsor-free model 💰❌ — allowing the focus to be 100% on the tech 🧑‍💻 all-systems-go.io

The work done by our eBPF Tools team is some of the most exciting not just at @microsoft.com, but in the industry. They're putting incredible capabilities in the hands of mere mortals (and AI agents). Something you'd like to be part of? They're hiring (US): jobs.careers.microsoft.com/global/en/jo...

"How many traitors are in Farage's new party?" would, I suggest be a better line than Digital ID. To beat Reform, make wavering voters ashamed to back them.

Proud Wordle moment - my guesses were identical to the Bot. (Not sharing the exact words here so as not to spoil for anyone… but they were all the same.)

RIP Dickie Bird, 8 short of a century. "I never married because in cricket you are never at home. I thought it would never work. It would have been wonderful to have a lad and watch him play. I missed that. But you can’t have everything. I gave myself to cricket and it has given me a real good life"

Did you know the Department of Defense can use Open Source Software *without* support from a commercial vendor? And OSS is allowed by the DoD Information Assurance (IA) policy?

Oktoberfest fun!

An honor today to be among a select group invited to the grand opening of the new Spencer Library at Corpus Christi College Oxford, with Lord Michael Spencer and Lord William Hague, and of course @huskyinberlin.bsky.social

The Frye Art Museum is one of my fave places in Seattle (I’m a paid-up member even though it’s free). I thought I couldn’t like them more then I saw this today:

“if you're effectively saying, yeah, Nigel Farage is right, it's immigration, so I'm just going to try to be better at dealing with it than he is... if you legitimise your opponent's central argument, then don't be surprised if people vote for your opponent.” podcasts.apple.com/de/podcast/t...

On 9/11… the day we remember the single time in history when article 5 of NATO was invoked. I also don’t recall anyone saying back then that the incursion into downtown Manhattan airspace “could’ve been a mistake”.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

folks we have a crumpet emergency

Seattle I’m totally into you!

Hardly ever go to FB any more but it just brought up this memory from 9 years ago that I’d totally forgotten about. It’s absolutely true.

The schedule for #Rejekts2025 Atlanta is out👉🏾 cfp.cloud-native.rejekts.io/cloud-native... Congrats to those who made it. We look forward to a great time with the community in Atlanta! 🤗

What the fuck has happened to my old country? Starmer needs to lead from the centre, not be cowed into a pale imitation of Reform.

This is why I don't have any Meta native app installed on my phone. (Top tip: if you don't want to risk access to everything on your phone but still want to use Facebook or Insta, they work just fine in a phone browser, with the exception of FB messages.)

Awesome to spend quality time with the fabulous @auggie.dev in Amsterdam. Oh and @squillace.bsky.social was there too.

It was fun and an honor to represent @microsoft.com at #OSSummit Europe in Amsterdam this week. What a fab team, from the marketing managers to my PM colleagues and field folks. Thanks @linuxfoundation.org for the great event!

Excited for #OSSummit Europe in Prague next October!!

Verizon’s Dirk Hohndel’s keynote kicks off day two of @linuxfoundation.org #OSSummitEU in Amsterdam. Encourages us to think how much our daily work in OSS, and our relationship with companies, has changed over the last 30 years (funnily enough doesn’t mention LKML though).

Just found this gem in a Museum. Really sums it up. (Applies to writers, too.)
