I know it's not real love, but I always fall in love when Wet Nurse is on the turntable.

Yup, this is a very solid position: https://waldo.jaquith.org/blog/2020/12/government-open-source/
Holy shit! Is this the reason organizations hang onto crap code way past the point of maintainability? Why very few ever follow Fred Brooks advice to build one to throw away? Why the rapid prototyping movement usually results in a clusterfuck?

Coalition calls on President Biden to rescind Trump Executive Order, which retaliates against online platforms and tries to undermine Section 230. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/04/organizations-call-president-biden-rescind-president-trumps-executive-order

The Agrarian Commons is a necessary and innovative approach to address the realities of how land is owned, tenure and equity are conveyed, and land stewardship is carried out.
The Agrarian Commons holds land in communities for:
Ecological, restorative agriculture and community-building
Long-term lease tenure and equity interest to farmers and ranchers
Stewardship and ecosystem investment
Farm, ranch, and agrarian viability and local agrarian economies

Code smithing was important, when all I knew was coding (high school - early career). Now it's annoying, because I know how little import it has in the whole of software development. #wisdom
Yet I still see many devs in late career devoting a lot of time to it. Some are even writing books/selling consulting based on it. #dumballover
GDI (God Damn Independents) was always my favorite fraternity/sorority (bad terms to get point across) in college. We had much better and more inclusive house parties (which didn't have to involve sex or beer or even a house). No hazing, no codes, no faux brotherhood/sisterhood, no segregation, just DIY.
Nowadays, I'd probably call it FI (Fucking Independents) to remove the religious baggage.

I've published a new tool for #Debian package maintainers that automatically updates your Build-Depends based on package build failures. https://www.jelmer.uk/deb-fix-build.html
What if you don't want to be a leader? What's wrong with being a follower or an independent?

Hey, this is cool! On April 22nd @ntnsndr and Jessica Gordon-Nembhard will be reading from the new translation of Arizmendiarrieta's Reflections.
Got my COVID-19 vaccine. I could tell the 15 minutes they have you wait afterwards is for calibration of the microchip, because of the strange antenna the nurse at the checkout desk had pointed my way. A black helicopter followed me most of the way home; probably final tracker test. As soon as I got home, there was an email from Biden congratulating me; his eyes seemed to track my movements.
Someone just reported a highly stressful corporate mandate has led them to consider suicide. The CEO and HR told them they're doing it wrong. #corporatelife
CEO just called worker exploitation a hunger to succeed. Pitted one part of the global workforce against the rest. Challenging the workforce with the implied threat of offshoring. #fuckoff
CEO All-Hands Q&A: That part of a status affirmation event where the CEO gets to call you a liar.
So much of corporate direction is structured around getting free labor from the workers, especially when it concerns innovation. Innovation adds much more to the corporate profit than they are willing to compensate the innovators. #theCorporateScrewJob
