You can find this old boat in Rauðhólar, which might be surprising since there's no water nearby. It was situated next to a summer camp for children and used as a toy. The summer camp is long gone, but the boat remains.#Iceland #Reykjavik #photography #nature #landscape #abandoned #decay #boat

It’s what I’m sure the Trump admin was hoping for. They •wanted• an ICE agent killed. That was the •goal•. They wanted a situation so chaotic, so violent, so intolerable that eventually somebody would just straight-up shoot an ICE agent, and then they could declare martial law. They were desperate for that.

Are there any Linux distribution projects that are fighting the use of AI? I know that the kernel is now allowing the use of AI for contributions (I think?) so that's unavoidable, but are there any projects that are outright banning AI contributions? I want to get a conversation going on this.

once upon a time i built some libraries for an open source project, in purescript. i hosted them at a github org called 'poorscript'. naturally sometime after i stopped working with them this was renamed to remove all traces of joy.

Lazyweb, are there filesystems for open software that are focused (or can be tuned to focus) nearly entirely on error correction and durability at the expense of everything else? As in, barely cares about performance at all but goes as hard as possible on data integrity and error correction?

I just want an slop-free open source operating system, preferably Unix-like, that has a kernel and software package repository free from slop. I know it won't be perfect, but with just a bit of ethical fortitude, we can create a human-centered operating system. I don't think I'm owed that, but I'm willing to pitch in and help build it. #os #slop

The DOJ and CFTC are going after a US soldier who allegedly used his access to confidential military information to profit more than $400,000 on Polymarket bets. They are not going after Polymarket, which is supposed to prohibit US bettors, and whose advisory board includes Donald Trump Jr.

“The whole world, unfortunately, has become somewhat of a casino,” said former casino tycoon and current President Trump.

“I don’t like it,” said the man whose own social media platform has announced plans to launch a crypto-based prediction market feature.

I wonder how many c-suite comms teams ever tell the people who write sentences like this one that, before you hit send, please understand that zero people will believe this. Exactly zero people. None people.

I need a favor. A good friend of mine got laid off. She's in NYC on a H1B, and being trans means she's not very keen to return to her home country!

She's an amazing software engineer, with experience leading teams, working with stakeholders, and is happy to come in to existing code bases to improve things.

She's primarily looking for full stack and is very comfortable with TS, JS, Python and Rust, but is happy to adapt.

NYC/Remote DM me for contact details #getfedihired

Reminder that I will be speaking next week at this DevEx research forum, and since the focus is on how software research can benefit industry I will be giving a more meta talk than usual about the things I wish more software research were doing to include and benefit real developers and their teams. 🌶️
