The Internet Archive lost its appeal in the Hachette case. What a devastating loss for all of us.

So, that manuals scanning project I was making noise about? Looks like we're 10% funded so far. That may not sound like much, but that's thousands of manuals that will be scanned. I'm hoping it'll be more. Donation link: archive.org/donate/?origin…

There is an Ad now every four tweets. This has gotten really bad. Most all look really scammy too.

I really dislike this new fad in UI/UX with expanding carousel images on hover. When you are scrolling horizontally and images are blowing up at the mouse position and nearby images jumping to new positions is totally disorienting. Please stop this pattern.

My dogs just stared me down demanding payment for alerting us to the UPS driver at our front door.

Charlie Munger on remote work for Software Engineers: "those people are never going back" "If your job in life is to get on the telephone and talk to other engineers all over the world while you solve problems, why do you have to do it from an office?"

Finally signed up for a Mastodon account over on Hachyderm. What finally pushed me was Twitter blocking people from posting their Mastodon accounts

Good to see @Phylum_IO raising "Dependency Confusion" as #3 in this list of software supply chain threats. I remember getting hit by this with a NPM pkg and you don't hear much about this risk. phylum.io/why-phylum

I have a #PowerBI joke, but you have to have premium to get it.

It's so infuriating how presumptuous @LinkedIn is to send me a 2FA text message when trying to visit a page while being logged out without asking my permission.

When the Amiga prototype computer was desperate for an operating system, UK based Dr Tim King saved the day. Get cosy with a cuppa and join me as I talk with Dr Tim King and his wife Jessica and hear about their fascinating time with Amiga and more. youtu.be/pm-szurM5VY #Amiga

Spending a lot of effort recently cleansing my timeline because Twitter is including tweets from followers of people I follow which are not retweets. I follow over 2000 people there should be plenty to put on my timeline without going 2nd degree

Is returning an Err inside a match expression while creating an Ok() really a best practice in #rustlang

I know I'm 1 day into learning #rustlang and have not earned the right to complain, but the new way of declaring a module in a <folder_name>.rs file seems way more cluttered than <folder_name>/mod.rs . i guess coming from __init__.py the old way seems natural.

I absolutely *love* this Ludum Dare 48 theme. I’m repeating this sentence at regular intervals until #LDJAM starts. Never tried a positive affirmation before. Hoping it works.

I wish @amazon would apply that massive @awscloud horsepower and AI technology to filtering out customer questions & answers where someone says they can't answer the question. I can't forget where someone said they couldn't check because they would have to pull out their ladder.

Tomorrow morning is VCF EAST VIRTUAL, which is the Vintage Computer Festival's event being held as a series of streamed live and pre-recorded vintage computing talks. It's really a shame not to have it at the space, but the lineup is KILLER: vcfed.org/wp/festivals/v…
