Struggeling with executive disfunciton, so I'll just be watching some videos and learning things in the process.
Waiting for the @penpot "Unboxing Penpot" livestream to start ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0tLukJmj_k ), so I'm watching @doctormo talk from the Creative Freedom Summit 2023 and finally learning how the page tool works in Inkscape! :blobaww:

one of the bodycam videos released appears to show the officers talking through what story they were going to report. the report that was filed was full of details about the encounter which were contradicted by the video evidence.
this affair is emblematic of what must change in US police culture, nation-wide.

Regular reminder that "less lines of code" DOES NOT necessarily equal "less logical complexity".
Aim for the latter, not the former! Nobody with any real engineering experience cares if your code is verbose. People care if your code is structured, safe, predictable, auditable.

Look, it's fun to taunt the JS uber ales kidz for their ridiculous misunderstandings of how browsers, networks, and CPUs actually work, but I think it's important for us to remember how dumb they were about garbage collection and hidden class transition overhead.

A number of folks have reached out to us over the past few months asking how they could help Mastodon out. Unfortunately, we haven't had the capacity to accept those kind offers at the time.
If you're interested in getting involved as a volunteer, please fill out this form (and share it around!) so we know who could help with what. (There is plenty that needs doing!)
