@Viss yeah I read this and think “sounds like Amazon is tired of UPS being bad at everything, and increased investment in their own fleet”

The resolution isn’t great, as the photo was taken with my iPhone.

I see you honoring Piper’s pronouns, and want to tell you that you are awesome. For a number of reasons, including that.
obstreperous is my new favorite word

And I lament the way React has taken attention away from Web Components. Shadow DOM is amazing.

If I’m honest, I think React is bad technology, and I’m mad at what it and the surrounding JS community has done to the web.
Respect to all workers, but there are better ways.

Once again, I'm reminded of how much the billionaire space race has absolutely destroyed my love of rockets.
10 years ago, I definitely would have been paying close attention to the current giant SpaceX launch. But because I know it's going to be used to launch hundreds of unregulated, unsafe, polluting, for-profit Starlink satellites at once, I just can't look.
Instead of being excited and awestruck by a new gigantic rocket launch, it just makes me want to puke.

Socialism is a scare word they've hurled at every advance the people have made. Socialism is what they called public power, social security, deposit insurance, and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for anything that helps all people.

Blue Team all day. It’s not flashy. But sometimes you feel like MacGyver (American TV show), hacking defenses together with whatever you have on hand.
@jasonrush @nicegnome
Even better!!

My bad, I should have been clearer: I am wondering if there are APIs that could be used, from Sonic Pi, for what you’re trying to do. But it sounds like you’re already familiar with it, so maybe not. Best of luck!

Hi everyone, I'm a totally blind electronic musician. Looking for a audio, developer fluent in C++ d to help me with a very special open source project to assist blind people with electronic music production. If you can help me, or know anyone in your network who can please reach out and get at me. Thanks very much everyone :-) #electronic music :-)
@soundwarrior20
Is there something that could be done with Sonic Pi @samaaron ?

If you tell them “room yes, cream no” they’ll likely assume you use a custom creamer or sweetener, not that you’re a spiller. Just my $0.02 from working food service in my teens.

Could we maybe stop shaming people for reading kids’ books? Adult books are full of sad people having affairs while kids’ books have magic wardrobes and worms driving around in apples; you tell me who’s winning.

I work for the government, and every year I have to take an ethics course to remind me not to do the things Clarence Thomas has done.
Another Black person was murdered by police in the U.S. In response to a mental health crisis.
This is for everyone but the family: NEVER call the police for a mental health crisis here.
In the United States, police are trained to treat people as threats. To respond to all encounters with fear and force. Especially when the situation involves Black people, autistic people, and mental health crises. They are not helpers, they are violence personified.

+1. And he comes across as extremely lonely. Like he was doing it to feel belonging, acceptance. It’s still the E for Ego, but I want to believe that the root motivation is deeper than “young men gonna chest thump”.
