So many still don't understand the open source contract. I don't develop code for your needs. I develop code for my needs and share it with you to use however you like (in accordance with the license). Nothing says I have to continue working on it or accept contributions. I might, but I might not.

I've seen a lot of "AI helped me draft this issue". Yeah, well, it's not any clearer what the problem is. It's fine to use AI as a tool, but you still need to make sure that what you are posting makes any sense at all.

I'm an American. I'm listening to conversations around me. I'm looking at signs I pass. I'm staring down at my ballot. It has become abundantly clear to me that being American now means to hate. I stand in opposition to it, but the hate is engulfing our society. And it saddens me deeply.

dependabot/renovate considered harmful

After years of using rvm, I'm finally given asdf a try because rvm consistently fails to compile older Ruby versions.

Watching the Tesla Roadster event this morning (because I had to for work) all I could really think about was how this dude's constant promotion of racism, misogyny, and bigotry really sucks all the joy out of these things.

i'm working on some more updates to the official Git documentation so uh what is one concept you wish the docs explained more clearly? right now I'm working on merge conflicts which I'm pretty excited about

Damn I miss Devoxx.

Venting is replacing problem solving.

The fact that most objects in JavaScript have .length to report the collection size, yet Set and Map have .size is absurd. Please add .length as an alias for .size on Set and Map!!

I think that companies that automatically subscribe you to a mailinglist after you purchase something from their online store for the first time should be fined, heavily.

Account management in AWS is a shear and utter mess. I really have to avoid AWS just to maintain my own sanity.

AI is proving to be exceptional at educating me about how to eat better, especially as a vegan. I can quickly figure out what to add and what to omit. I've never come anywhere close to tuning my diet so informatively.

I don't understand why videos on Amazon are so memory intensive and usually refuse to play. You would think for a company that has like a bazillion dollars they would be able to make a video player that isn't absolutely terrible.

It's truly sad that golfers get millions for winning a single competition and lacrosse players are losing their teams. Sports is totally broken.

Cornell attackmen (Pannell, Teat, Kirst) hold all but 1 attack record in the PLL. Single season goals/assists/points and career assists/points. The only record missing is career goals, but keep an eye on # 15. cc: @danarestia.bsky.social

@danarestia.bsky.social The PLL never listens to me, but I'm in favor of converting the Waterdogs into the Barrage. Kirst looks solid in orange.

@danarestia.bsky.social I think Brian Kelly is getting stiffed for now being considered a rookie. What's a rookie? If you have never played a game in the league, the year you start playing (your pro debut) is your rookie season? The reason doesn't matter. No?

Do you know in the US, we have no medical records from when we were adolescents? That is so fucked up. (If you think we do, I challenge you to find them...you won't).

For the love of all that is good, I wish Node.js provided a YAML parser in stdlib!!! (I HATE dependencies, especially for stuff like this).

Unskippable ads are proof that humans are fundamentally evil (or at least humans that run media companies).

I've had it with Chase. They are such a dysfunctional bank.

That is a fantastic point.

@chrisrosie22.bsky.social I have to admit, the WLL is very watchable when the league just lets them play, especially not enforcing that stupid illegal defense rule. The all-star game was particularly exciting. I still would like to see proper head & hand protection, but perhaps it will be organic.

Engagement on this platform is abysmal. I pretty much feel like I'm just speaking into a void.

You do not have to accept unskippable ads as part of life. No where is this written as a rule of the world we live in. Reject it. Outright reject it.

@danarestia.bsky.social I really don't like the rule that you can call a timeout from the defensive end. I think it spoils the spirit of the ride. You should have to clear first.

I cannot understand why they ever lift the fire ban here in Colorado. As soon as they do, we have wildfires all over the place (and even when they don't). You just can't burn shit here. It's too risky. Not unless we have a monsoon for a month straight (which we never do).

Why has voting become solely about trying to keep the most egregious people from occupying office? This country is such trash.

Except for EV brands, why does every car look the same?

I keep hearing how AI will make software so easy to write and yet Gmail still hasn't evolved beyond the mid 2010s.

Tidal announces they will be labeling and demonetizing all AI-generated music, and I'm once again so glad I switched from Spotify. No streaming app is perfect (and I do buy a LOT of music too) but this is so much better than an AI swamp.

I've been waiting for Tidal to figure out its position on AI-generated music. It finally has, and it's pretty good: -AI labeling -No using AI to impersonate real artists -AI music won't be monetized support.tidal.com/hc/en-us/art...
