one of the best paths in healing from cptsd, depression, and anxiety, is getting into your body and being grounded this can be ableist as a piece of advice given callously, bc not everyone has access to the resources or physical strength for physical activities (think MFS & long covid, for example)

Having met with both sides on the current RubyCentral/RubyGems situation, here's my take: - RubyCentral have managed this exceptionally poorly in many ways including removing literally the most active member of the RubyGems organisation by mistake who has declined to return

reading all the h1b worker first hand accounts who turned around at the airport and just accepted they could no longer go visit family and friends and they are basically at the mercy of their employers for this 100k thing. it’s heart breaking. globalnews.ca/news/1143776...

It’s going to break your heart how many people you know, love, and respect will turn out to be cowards. Prepare yourself as best you can. You are not alone, but you are your own center. Be a strong center.

Hey, #ruby folks! I've been one of the #RubyGems maintainers for the last decade. Ruby Central has forcefully taken control of the RubyGems organization on GitHub, the `rubygems-update` and `bundler` gems on rubygems[.]org, and more. You can read the details here: pup-e.com/goodbye-ruby...

Ages ago, when I was still a student, I taught myself Ruby on Rails for my senior thesis and fell in love. Fifteen years later, and I’ve used Rails at every job I’ve ever held in the tech industry. Fifteen years, and I still love Rails! But there’s something rotten at its core, and we share a name.

tore down a bunch of old node stuff that was meant to be put back a while back but never got to it cuz life etc etc and for once procrastination saved my butt cuz now i dont have to remediate for shai hulud jfrog.com/blog/shai-hu...

why does netflix offer ability to limit profile transfers OUt of the account but not into? wouldn't this be rife for abuse? like, say an abusive partner owns the account and now the victim wants to leave and can't transfer the profile out of the netflix account, and they lose all their watch history

Even if you don't need the money, submit the claim to ensure that Loblaws pays out the maximum monies to Canadians for their deceitful business practices. Now let's hope Sobeys, Walmart, Giant Tiger and Metro are also made to pay for colluding to gouge Canadians #cdnpoli #canada shorturl.at/ISYrq

funny who is and isn't allowed to be targeted with "hate speech"

Last week at #o11yDaySFO, I presented "AI is like Chocolate (and Observability is like Strawberries)" explored how to use AI purposefully; not as a magic fix-all but as one ingredient in a well-designed system. My slides: drive.google.com/file/d/13Uu-... There were so many other inspiring talks!

Today is the 30th anniversary of Hackers

on how my kid hates it — me never letting go of the joke: are ya winning, son

it really is a purposeful thing that they are doing isn’t it, remove content moderation, radicalize more people, selectively boost cases (eg Charlotte stabbing) with real footages. i also see body cam footages floating around on tiktok of the police doing service. it’s propaganda plain and simple

Don’t fucking @ me if you continue to associate yourself with people like DHH or Tobi Lütke or their foundations/organizations.

I'm still going to try to keep from posting about politics in general, but I'll make an exception for matters of medicine and public health. Not only is it of course a subject near and dear to my heart, in the big picture it may be the most vital issue of our time, and of any time. 🧪 ⚕️ #medsky 🧵

aws.amazon.com/blogs/machin... if u want an example, this one provides pattern to copy for using ur own agent/LLM plus ur own MCP server for cost estimation stuff

AWS Cost Explorer hashtag MCP Server is available: awslabs.github.io/mcp/servers/... docs aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws-cl...). p neat for exploration it a new release so I'd suggest playing around with it, don't get rid of ur folks working on cost-to-serve yet. cloud computing and AWS is full of traps

im about to Tech Post, mute keyword aws if u want to avoid a screen full of "why is aws and why do ppl cry about it"

This science story has everything: - a superheroic scientist who has the condition she is battling to drive work on - a riveting scientific breakthrough story (I was gasping) - an absolute gutpunch about whether her work will be defunded www.science.org/content/arti...

i stocke up when i was in china ( which means it has now expired in august and i will need to stock up again) but ya the Rx only thing in canada is rife for medical discrimination, to say the least. no vaccine till october means back to school season vulnerable. so mask up if u could everyone

i can’t get over how elon musk went to china and ignored all the cool cultural things but decided 996 and WeChat(one app for all but it sucks ad a platform ok) and traditional bio essential misogyny was what he wanted to bring to the west what a tool

As a historian of computing, can confirm, this is exactly what happened

i’m just loving the comments roasting this guy rn lol we collectively need to stop equating quality of information with presentation format

My whole community is people who've devoted their lives to broadening access to STEM, who teach equity, who work in interdisciplinary contexts and with constant ethics and justice focus. They've all been defunded, whereas "computer science and engineering" is funded just fine.

back to school season is basically stress testing a parent’s availability and reliability, add some concerns around school air quality then security too. and i gotta tell u im feeling the pager burn out on this

Aboriginal Frontdoor Society and Watari Counselling and Support services provide critical services to houseless ppl in DTES(belongings storage, meals, support)and they r about to be defunded by the city for no reason, is there nothing we can do about this?? @seanorr.bsky.social #yvr

I think the thing that gets me is that I did have ethics classes in university. It’s just that the classes always turned into the women, nonbinary, and other marginalized people giving a shit and the cis dude bros not understanding why it was that important.

Vancouverites Overvancouver Vancouver Record For Most Vancouverites Vancouvering Simultaneously

ok i had one(1) glass of wine and it’s the first glass since like what, spring? apparently that’s what it took to bust out the soap box and start tweeting into the void after the nice little break i had from Postjng

thinking about how a lot of problems professional workers experience can really just be fixed with trauma-informed well-being practices and better sleep length/quality, but it’s easier said than done cuz late stage capitalism schedules are not built for this

me when i see AI art (alt text: distorted superman face cropped from a photo as a result of AI processing, he looks like he’s got gas and is questioning everything)

oh come the fuck on

i don’t own a single labubu(do have friends who are v into them tho) and i have observations and opinions 1-it is just like when monchichis were in back in 2010s or cabbage patch dolls,or those big headed pop figurine things. the compulsion to collect and signify seems to be socialized human nature

I don’t get scared while watching Alien Earth because I have Dan O’Bannon’s original concept art seared into my brain

Translators, your voices are being heard. Thanks again for sharing your stories

#yvr #vancouverpoli mayor ken sim just did a talk about making vancouver a bitcoin friendly city. and he says he does this cuz his family wanted to donate 10k to the city in bitcoin but city can’t accept it (10k?lol). @isabellazavarise.bsky.social covers it all full video vt.tiktok.com/ZSAMsdcoy/

lol their face when they tell me “this is the best war film i’ve ever seen and the best film i’ve seen in a long time, telling story from the macro and micro, unflinching” #filmsky m.imdb.com/title/tt3659...

Fun fact: there’s a single Oracle cluster (with one hot backup) holding all the stated department’s records about US visas, of all kinds: immigration, work, education and tourism. It went down once for a week, during which no US visas could be produced or renewed worldwide.

Ken Liu's "The Man Who Ended History: A Documentary" (kenliu.name/binary/liu_t..., cw for graphic descriptions of 731 atrocities), dedicated in part to Iris Chang, was really powerful and moving for me as my first exposure to this horrifying history beyond a passing mention in a bioethics class.

It wasn’t until November 2023 that the public learned, through CTV News reporting, that stranger assaults had been plummeting throughout 2022, already dropping to an average of 1.8 per day in the first half of the year.

bribes are chinese culture is the corruption equivalent of i harrassed these people because i have adhd

fwiw japan does not teach this part of the history in their school curriculum. it has been removed

it's really cool to see how much oral history around japanese war atrocities is being brought up on xhs around this film. there has been attempts to erase this part of the history, and even to prevent this film from being aired, but it's happening. #filmsky www.imdb.com/title/tt3659...
