People working in tech need to be paying attention to what is happening with unions and strikes across America right now.

Take notes y’all.

Also kinda surprising that doesn't have built in `set` types? I get that you can "use a map like a set" but it feels super janky and lacks any of the APIs one would hope a set to have. 😅

Let's be clear. Those "low value" degrees are all the degrees were you learn how power works. How knowledge is made. Where hierarchies and ideologies come from. And why all of that is considered "low value" and by whom.

@coop Would y'all be into working together to get more fediverse tech into the Canadian government?

Honestly open source stuff is a gift. Every time a stranger fixes a bug just cause I brought it up in an issue tracker I feel a bit of comradery. Also when I finally get time to fix or review fixes for random modules I maintain in my spare time.

Am I reading this correctly? The standard library has no built in function to get a slice of keys from a map? You need to iterate every single time and build up an extra list??

Thanks to efforts by volunteers Nosamu and bai0, the Internet Archive's flash emulation just jumped generations ahead.

Mute/Unmute works. The screen resizes based on the actual animation's information. And for a certain group who will flip their lid:

We can do multi-swf flash now!

A pile of previously "broken" flashes will join the collection this week.

Excited by the prospect of getting this wired up to Monado and my Rokid headset eventually.

is like email but for social media. The Social Inbox will enable you to get new comments and followers to your statically published website from any AP-capable service and will work across static blogs too!

If you squint at the fediverse enough you can image a discord like interface where threads are threads and channels are hashtags. I wonder hoe it'd feel to use like

Whenever the ruling class starts to sense a threat to their power, that’s when they start picking out ordinary things in society and declaring them to be alien threats, and that anyone who disagrees or downplays the threat must be siding with the enemy.

Godot is legitimately incredible. Anyone who can donate, please do. Unity heavily detracts from OSS and does its best to corner developers into Microsoft platforms, and Unreal Engine also isn't exactly OSS either. Godot does amazing work given its status, so if you can, go donate.

Updated Steam OS and now any apps that have GNOME dependencies work even less.

Gotta figure out setting up my calendar yet again. 😭

Partially blind guy here with an #a11y PSA:

I'm seing a trend away from "Text Size" sliders or old fashioned font dialogs and towards a few set choices "Default", "Large","Larger", etc.

This is a HUGE step backwards. Your 'larger' is *never* large enough for my crazy busted eyeballs when I'm using my 34" monitor.

If you must do this, please be sure to add "Largest" and even "ZOMG ARE YOU SERIOUS LARGE" options. Some of us REALLY need them, even if it seems insane to you.

This one cuts deep:
The modern condition is mostly trying to do things on your own that people have historically achieved with a large support network and wondering why you're tired all the time.

you heard about panic attacks but get ready for these moments when you suddenly remember an embarassing thing you did in the past. i call them cringe attacks
