Follow up from @vlt.sh regarding my appearance on the Changelog. A new registry is in the works.

Spotify prompted me to try their new “prompt a playlist” tool and they BLOCK THE WORD “feminist”. WTF Spotify!

Was having the tiniest of pity parties being mega frustrated with my very cute 2yo who insisted on scootering in spite of the piles of snow still on the ground here in NYC(I have no clue where that stubbornness comes from 🙃). Ended up carrying his 40lb hiney and the scooter parts of the way.

i think this gets at something important which is that normal people are rightly pissed off that they’re having normal time stolen from them by this ravaging horde of jumped up mall cops. everybody has to work in the morning! why is it THEIR job to hold their community together in such a basic way!

wtf is a FIFA peace prize? that's like being an NFL laureate in physics

I am happy to pay $30 a year for USPS Prime, which delivers mail daily to my home

why does this go so hard

omg I love it when a person doesn't know something and they ask!! Also I love a sui generis in the wild.

"In normal times, against a normal candidate, we have no evidence that picking a friendly, relatable, likable candidate without a history of sexual abuse will work. Let’s not read too much into it." www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/yea...

"Mamdani's victory is less significant than you think. It will change nothing about how we write about anything at the NYT."

Democrats will stop talking about needing to move towards the center, maybe when there is nothing left of the party. Y'all been tryin' that for the last 20 years. It's been a losing game(and sucks). Maybe try actually supporting what working folks need? Like, the massive majority of Americans?

Happy Zohran Day to all who celebrate!!

Concerning, bc it indicates that the extent of the concentration of power in the hands of a few hyperscalers is way less widely understood than I’d assumed. Which bodes poorly for our ability to craft reality-based strategies capable of contesting this concentration & solving the real problem. 2/

Everyone seems allergic to the word, but Charlie Kirk was not an activist, he was a propagandist. Turning Point was a meme factory backed by a billionaire designed to steer kids towards Christian Nationalism. He didn’t advocate for policy; he spun narratives to change beliefs. Propaganda.

going live rn!

Via @stateline.org: An Aug. 1 jobs report that enraged President Donald Trump showed the United States had 258,000 fewer jobs than initially reported in May and June. It was the smallest monthly job gains since pandemic-era December 2020 and the largest jobs revision, outside recessions, since 1968.

What happens to open infrastructures when research policy and funding grow unstable? In a new @cni-org.bsky.social talk, IOI’s Dr. Katherine Skinner shares insights from our community survey on the fragility + resilience of open infrastructures in volatile times. 🔗 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewwJ...

an open source MCP server from Fastly? Okay 🙌 www.fastly.com/blog/fastly-...

I have kids. They will be college age eventually(very much in spite of this hellscape). We are saving for college. At what point is this going to be a total waste because the institutions are all bending over and making terrible, autonomy reducing deals?

If the (wildly popular) governor of Kentucky can say this with his whole chest then what excuse does the (wildly unpopular) governor of California have?

a couple of hours before my keynote, I went through an intense negotiation with the organisers (for over a hour) where we went through my slides and had to remove anything that mentions 'Palestine' 'Israel' and replace 'genocide' with 'war crimes' 1/

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal." That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.

Okay, so if you won't tolerate violence, what are you going to do when it comes(unsurprisingly) from your cops or the military sent in? Yeah, that's what I thought.

TIRED: trope that OSS non-profit organizations can't pay people to do open source work. 🔥: documented, clear examples to point to these positive cases so more folks can -do- that. They exist! I don't want names of the people getting paid, I want the orgs and the roles. Let's celebrate them.

For folks who give remote video talks with slides, what has been the best software/app you've used to do it?

My naïve hope is that all the National Guard folks being deployed for No Kings day end up chilling and dancing alongside the protesters after having to sit there bored, staring—he'll see videos of that and get mad as hell in being able to do nothing about it.

leftists: that thing you teach us in school to be terrified of is happening historians: that thing is definitely happening star wars: here is a beat-for-beat breakdown of how the thing happens, but with pew pew lasers. we know you watched it news outlets: these protesters are out of control

hope the marines bring their dancing shoes, this looks brutal

Good governance equips open source projects to embrace change, both natural and inevitable, for a resiliency that is required for the Open Web to endure. The Open Web runs on Open Source. Open Source runs on Fastly. ✨ Proud to back the FAIR project ✨

Open Sky Network is another open source flight-mapping alternative: map.opensky-network.org

Today is a good day for everyone to learn about ADS-B Exchange (which includes aircraft that you won’t see on FlightAware: globe.adsbexchange.com

thank you for posting this — i've been hearing unusually loud planes (in the flightpath of everywhere) and my late husband was an aviation dweeb so he knew how to do this, and i just get unsettled bc i didn't hear planes so often before at weird times. like once we looked and it was a royal plane

Just had this moment where I imagined what I do with the 7369 bookmarks I have saved over the years...recipes, long form stories, references and white papers, whole books...so many GIFS... What if, overnight, the Internet went away? Would I miss these? Could I print these and make books? A library?

Here's a great little tutorial on getting started with my LLM tool for running local models! One of the best ways you can contribute to any open source project is to publish unofficial guides like this one

Everyone knows what it’s like to lose cell service. A burgeoning open source project called Meshtastic is filling the gap for when you’re in the middle of nowhere—or when disaster strikes. www.wired.com/story/youre-...

IRS’s Direct File wasn't open source while it was being developed. But somebody just made it public!
