It has come to my attention that there are younger folks who haven’t heard of Five Geek Social Fallacies.
It was written in 2003 and the social dynamics stay real. Once you read it, you’ll see them everywhere.

PSA: Walgreens and CVS are allowing people to schedule for both the mpox and new COVID vaccines starting next week and there are lots of times available. Get it! 💉

PSA: delete your old Photobucket account now! Don’t put it off.
You know those emails you’ve been getting for a year from Photobucket threatening to delete your old account and you were like lol who cares and ignored them?
Turns out they didn’t delete them anyway, they repurposed the business as a broker of biometric data to AI companies and they’re using your old pictures for that. You have to actually go in and delete your account to opt out, and you only have until Monday, July 22 to do it.

A very talented person you’ve certainly heard of is looking for a new role in open source. Hiring for your OSPO? Looking for an OSS program manager, community manager, devrel? You want to hire this person, seriously. Must be able to sponsor a UK visa.
Email them at [email protected]!
I really can’t recommend this person enough. I would hire them in a heartbeat if I could.
Boost for reach, please and thank you? 🧡💜

somebody asked how people who have historically been anti-copyright could be against AI content theft, so let me give this a shot:
Information wants to be free to enrich human knowledge. It does not want to be free to make human knowledge worse to enrich the pockets of assholes

If the problem is cultural, the solution will not be technological.

Pro tip: if you’re a vendor, don’t misgender the people on the call who you’re trying to convince to give you a lot of money. Sheesh

my daughter asked me “if SSH stands for Secure Shell Protocol, why isn’t it SSP?” and I very confidently said “there was probably already something called SSP” before realizing I didn’t actually know if that was true
BUT NOW I WANT TO KNOW TOO

How do the genders of nouns in gendered languages get decided? Did somebody like look at a chair and decide a chair was female
