My honest opinion: Taxpayer money should be spent wisely. That means investing in #opensource software, not expensive proprietary technology. Better value, more transparency, and no vendor lock-in.
Would it be too much to ask that OS's stop introducing breaking changes all the time? 🙃 Having to rework builds every year is exhausting.

I think federation is cool but unlike eugen I am aware it is fundamentally incompatible with recreating network effect corporate tech platforms and I think that's a good thing. like I'm so fine with being in a network of like, 12 servers loosely connected to a network of 100 itself tenuously connected to the wider world where a handful of people trickle in and self select for the vibes we have cultivated. I think it would be neat if I could have the same experience with every other tech product as well
Now that I went through the hell of turning an example Android app to a library, I now get to go through the hell of figuring out how Android studio uses aar files now, and then the hell of figuring out how chromium's Android build system to figure out how to pull an asset out of the AAR into somewhere the Java side can read

This little guy is out there holding on for dear life. The wind almost knocked him off the tree.

You don't necessarily need to say "image of" in your alt text for users to know it's an image. Screen readers will announce that it's an image. But it can help readers to specify if it's a hand-drawn image, Polaroid, infographic, screenshot, chart, map, diagram, or so on.

google is discontinuing support for first-generation nest thermostats.
it is time for lawmakers to implement a »support-or-open-source« regulation. it is ok to not want to support »obsolete« technologies forever, but it should be mandatory to make it open source when and if you stop the support.

Hannah Montana Linux is supposedly for youth outreach but the theming is so outdated that almost no actual children today will understand the reference. Therefore I propose a new solution to the youth outreach issue in FOSS operating system communities: SkibidiBSD,

Because I just deployed a new version of iocaine, I figured I'll look into how the cookie monster guard is working out.
Filtering out my own requests, there were a total of 617 requests made towards my forge that the monster did not eat (out of about 78k my passive identification didn't route into the maze).
Those 617 requests came from 194 unique ips, and 28 unique user agents, and hit 164 unique URIs, most of which are CSS, JS, and various images.
I do see.... a number of suspicious URIs hit, though! Stuff like /archive/HumpY/pulls?assignee=1&labels=389,388&milestone=0&poster=0&project=0&q=&sort=&state=open&type=all. That is very likely not a human.
Looks like we have a JS-capable bot! Lets dig in.
Haven't done raw android front end dev in a few years and I gotta say that Kotlin is pretty nice!
It'd be cool if there were more WYSIWYG web component editors to match the developer experience of slapping some components on a screen and wiring up listeners.
So thankful to past me for transitioning to a 4 day work week 😭💜
Gonna call it now, "cloud gaming"'s biggest value will be in making training data for AI and that's where M$ and the such are going to make the big bucks off of it.
Realistic shooting games especially sound great for all the killbots that will be deployed on civilians in the future 🤪
My job is "computer programmer" but the skill I actually use is "quickly create and transform simulacra of problem spaces within my mind" which applies in other tasks too.
Code just happens to be faster to traverse and is more explicit than some other problem spaces.
These systems are distributed AF, no CAP.
Gonna figure out some GeoJSON stuff for work. The format is more straightforward than I expected.
By body decided to wake me two hours too early today and my mind is paying the price 😵
