The worst thing that ever happened in software engineering was when Kirk asked Scotty how long something would take and Scotty said thirty minutes and Kirk said you’ve got five and Scotty got it done in five and impressionable children watched this and grew up to become managers.

We're going to post something that isn't allowed on Twitter: a brief history of the term "cisgender"...

@primalmotion I just hope they were not accidentally DDOSed again by Manjaro.

When #META invites you to secretive talks about the #fediverse and you are told to not share anything about those talks, be it by spoken agreement or an NDA — remember admiral Ackbar. It's a trap.

Yesterday, my friend's son turned four. They had his party at the lake. Since there wasn't really an address to share, my friend sent me the GPS coordinates.
I plugged them into Puremaps and it led me straight there while I was also listening to a podcast.
and the have come a long way.

A foreign journalist asked me: #Berlusconi funded #mafia for years, and yet he got #State funeral, national mourning, and your President of the Italian Republic,whose brother was killed by the mafia, attended his State Funeral. Why?
Me: don't ask, I have no answers for you

Haven't seen anyone posting this yet, so I figured I'll share it: during our recent #Gnome #mobileLinux hackfest we got the experimental #libcamera pipeline handler for the #purism #Librem5 to work and make a video call with @dino. There were still some serious issues we didn't have time to debug any more - but hey, it's something :) (featuring @cas )

@scubbo

If former US presidents where prosecutable every US president since at least Nixon would have been in Jail.

The policy of prosecuting former presidents is an assurance for whoever the current is president that he he wont go to jail for whatever he does like start a war on false pretenses (e.g Iraq, etc)

It's a "feature" of the current system, not "a flaw". And it sucks.

@rbreich

I think Mastodon people should use the "like" button more.

People are told not to like because liking doesn't broadcast posts like boosting does, and the site needs boosts. And replies are preferred because they're deeper engagement or something.

But, on some level, we want people to keep using Mastodon. If someone posts something and followers like it, they know stuff is getting seen here and they'll want to keep using the site. I just don't see what's gained by holding back on the likes
