shitposts aside, this one is serious, my loves: if you’re just waking up and you have any service online running PHP 5.4 to latest, you need to take it down RIGHT NOW and don’t put it back online until after it’s patched absolutely catastrophic vulnerability dropped in the middle of the night

This one will hurt: I love 1Password as a product. But I'm the son of a concentration camp survivor. I will not give money to companies that align themselves with nationalism, and certainly not ethnic cleansing. Completely disappointing, @1password.bsky.social. www.flyingpenguin.com/dhh-nazism-f...

Library funding is tied to usage.

a fun /loop experiment I did with claude last night: * fan out subagents * read the code * write user stories for what the code does, save in a spreadsheet * go over all user stories and test that they are accurate that's step 1.

Here’s just ONE of the artists Marvel Studios let go today: Wesley Burt, a brilliant veteran, one of the best in the industry. He made the viral Fantastic Four Valentine’s day card! He was also pivotal for the look of many films and shows like for example Loki, Black Panther, Avengers and so on!

This is Sadie. She was finally reunited with her human, astronaut Christina Koch, after her mom’s voyage around the moon took her the furthest any human has ever been from their dog. She can't wait to hear all about the universe. 14/10 (IG: astro_christina)

Trump fucked up his war so bad he’s trying to change the subject back to Epstein.

Happy Birthday @shannagermain.bsky.social 🎉

Project Hail Mary was amaze amaze amaze. 👎

schoolhouse rock videos should play on a loop in the capitol

NoKings.org this Saturday, March 28 Stand up with millions and millions of Americans who know we all deserve so much better than this.

I was talking about #NoKingsProtest to a colleague and was genuinely surprised that they hadn't heard about it. I almost reacted with a "Really? What rock are you living under" and instead, just jumped in to explain what it was, what it was for, and why it was important.

I think I figured out my issue with Graham Platner besides the fact that he's an avid war history buff and remains clueless about his tattoos. One only has to look at DINOs like Fetterman. Is this what we're heading towards? I have no track records to judge.

Everybody keeps talking about the midterms? Did we all forget one more important event that happens before the midterm? April is tax season. If we're feeling the squeeze already in the grocery stores, how do you think we're going to feel when tax season comes up?

Curious question for the "don't tread on me" crowd. When you fly your flag 24/7, and then one day you take it down. What are you signalling? Did you win? Or did you come to your senses?

Hey Massachusetts, we could probably make some additional revenue by selling all the snow to Colorado. Just saying.

Just a reminder for those of you submitting @gophercon.com talks. You can submit more than one. #gophercon #callforsession

I’m raising rent relief funds for Minneapolis immigrant families affected by ICE. Donations are down, but ICE is very much still here and there’s still so much need. Can you help? V: @Ian-Coldwater CA: $iancoldwater PP: @coldwater We keep us housed 💛 Please share and help if you can! Thank you!

The tale of two Todds

Go 1.26 is out, and the announcement says: "Over the next few weeks, follow-up blog posts will cover some of the topics in more detail. Check back later." So you can wait a few weeks OR you can read my interactive Go 1.26 tour right away: antonz.org/go-1-26

The most challenging aspect of software development has been the lack of documentation.

A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all. Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.

The budget deal in Congress will give ICE another $10 BILLION. Absolutely not. ICE is out of control. We must stop this rogue agency’s dangerous abuses of power, not bankroll it.

Yo #Golang peeps, it's that time of the year again. Call For Papers for @gophercon.com 2026 is now open - sessionize.com/gophercon-2026

DHS wants your face in their database. No warrant. No consent. No accountability. This is what authoritarianism looks like in the digital age. It’s time to shut it down.
