oh, and someone quotes a blog from felipe contreras, an active xfash contributor, as a proof that there's no problem with dhh at all.

how fucking convenient.

if the whole company schtick is that buying from them is the better ethical choice, that company better stick to ethics.

omarchy, a set of configuration files for arch, is curated by a well-known white supremacist named heinemeier-hansson^[also known for his other works]; as to hyprland, it's a project led by an edgelord arsehole who doesn't shy from insulting a blind programmer, and happily allows queerphobes in his community.

tankie?

one nice thing is that the migration process to the bluesky is painless and straightforward. if we had the ability to not only take our toots (export does exist) but also move them to a new mastodon server, that would be a very nice boon for the fediverse. (it's also one of the oldest open tickets in mastodon's github issues. and yes, i know of slurp, but that's not really frictionless.)

in short, the whole moderation team resigned because of interference from the steering commitee; inb4 palmer luckey crowing about how no-one in the project will stop anduril from using nixos to build american military domination.

you know, just another day of the fascist takeover of the nixos project.

…to “it's OUR TIME NOW”, cf. the most recent two blogs from david heinemeier hansson, palmer fucking luckey in recent nixos thing etc. etc.

indeed, but that “90% of my code is now from ai” piece is even sadder than the rest.

seems like armin ronacher (originally of the flask, jinja & co fame) has also fallen into the vibecoding rabbit hole; which is generally a pity.

a good thing that the pallets projects are now independent from him (and if you build python clis, plubum is anyway much, much better than click).

spotify, which is a step away in the software catalogue of any distribution that includes flatpak.

there's plenty to read; an incomplete list of authors just off the top of my head: nnedi okorafor, ann leckie, martha wells, kate elliott, annalee newitz, sarah gailey, malka older, sarah jane anders…

take care and step carefully. there's a moment where the stress from working for a company with goals that counter your personal ethics is going to be hard to bear, and the worst thing you can do then is to change your value system to reduce the cognitive dissonance.
