Wer von euch kommt morgen zur hamburg.onruby.de ins #Betahaus? #Hamburg #Ruby #UserGroup

Offensichtlich ist steigende Gewalt gegen Mitglieder der 🏳️🌈 LGBTQ+ Community ein Problem, wie bei vielen Veranstaltungen im Osten oder gerade erst wieder beim CSD in Berlin geschehen. Doch Linke sollten nicht nur auf die Rechtsextremisten aufmerksam machen, sondern auch auf Islamistische Fanatiker.
Die zunehmende Gewalt gegen queere Menschen ist ein Problem für die ganze Gesellschaft. Sie trifft den demokratischen Zusammenhalt. Anstatt Streichorgien bei Bundesprogrammen, die Demokratie & queeres Leben schützen, fordern wir eine aktive Rolle der Bundesregierung gegen Gewalt an queeren Menschen!

Weil die "KI" Unternehmen alle Hardware kaufen, wird der "du bekommst nur noch ein dummes Terminal und musst alle relevante Infrastruktur mieten" Trend noch weiter angeheizt. Hardware wird nicht nur teuer, sie wird komplett unzugänglich. Da hilft uns dann auch keine Open Source Software mehr.

After a tough week for our Ruby community, here’s a little hope. 🎩 Meet Ruby Butler — a cargo/uv-inspired helper to reimagine your gem & bundler experience. Now at your service (for free). 👉 github.com/RubyElders/r...
By now it sounds to me like the best solution for the #Ruby community would be to dissolve @rubycentral.org and redirect the funds used to maintain the rubygems.org service to another organization not involving the RC members.
Ruby Central said some really concerning things today. I don’t think they’re representing the situation accurately. andre.arko.net/2025/10/09/t...
Unfortunately I won't be able to attend @brightonruby.com 😢 If anyone is interested in my ticket, please contact me via DM. #BrightonRuby #Ruby #Rails #Brighton #conference

Meanwhile #FCSP fans still stand strong with Isreal no-matter-what and question why their captain dares to criticize the war in Gaza and shows solidarity with Palestinians.
Setting aside post-hoc legal definitions, there could not be a clearer instance of genocide. The closest historical parallel is the German colonial genocide in which Herero & Nama people who survived mass killing were forced into the desert to starve, 1904-08. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

A world historical crime, taking place in full view, with the perpetrators so convinced of their impunity that they can brag about genocidal intent, and it’s hard not to agree with their calculation that no one will stop them and no one will be held accountable

@adrianthedev.com Hey, I just read about github.com/avo-hq/marks... and am wondering: in which format does it store the file contents, in pure markdown? And does it support syntax highlighting, or would this be easy to customize with a gem like rouge?

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but 2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but 3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So 4. Now the LLM code points to malware.
LLMs hallucinating nonexistent software packages with plausible names leads to a new malware vulnerability: "slopsquatting."
I mostly agree with these findings: AI coding assistents are still more limited than marketing and C-levels like to think - at least when implementing more business logic than boilerplate code. leaddev.com/culture/ai-c...
The best 'new' Google search feature must be their 'web' view. It filters out all the crap like AI, news, other recommendations and just returns solid search results like 10 years ago. tedium.co/2024/05/17/g...

Not sure why anyone would consider visiting the United States when they subject random tourists to draconian actions like this
I just got used to to think about Northern-, Western-, Southern- and Kurwa-Europe and now these lines are becoming blurry again... kurwa!
fun fact: I've heard that in Dutch cities' immigrant-majority neighborhoods, "kurwa" is now an internationally universal swearword, used by Arabs and Senegalese alike

Wait, what, are you telling us a spyware maker follows higher ethical standards than the government of one of Europe's largest countries? 🤔 Does it mean all our prejudices and fears about right-wing-populist-fascist in power are based and valid?

Ich hoffe trotzdem, daß viele potentielle CDU/CSU Wähler bei der Wahl Ende Februar für andere demokratische Parteien stimmen werden. Bundeskanzler Merz läßt sich dadurch vielleicht nicht mehr verhindern, aber wenigsten könnte ein stärkerer Koalitionspartner das schlimmste verhindern. 🤞🏼
Jetzt ist die Zeit der CDU/CSU Parlamentarier, Parteimitglieder und Sympathisanten gekommen, um Farbe zu bekennen. Brandmauer oder schwarz-blau? Ich bin mir (leider) sicher, daß viele Konservative den rechts-populistischen Kurs mittragen werden. Gerne oder zähneknirschend macht keinen Unterschied.
