Some people hate PHP because it was their first language, they wrote a ton of bad code in it, learned better practices along the way as they switched to other languages, and then look back on their old code and blame the language.
The problem is that so many people buy-in to the “eliminate unnecessary bureaucracy” argument because we’re taught that bureaucracy and bureaucrats are wasteful and evil.
@chris@dustinrue@alda I’ve been having issues with my work machine similar to this. Personal machines are fine. I think it’s all the corporate spyware that’s installed causing problems.
“Explaining why he protested, Kluwe pointed out he is white, male and heterosexual. ‘Privilege and power,’ he said.
“‘It’s important (those) who have privilege and power like I do to be out there on the front lines helping support those who are being oppressed,’ he continued. ‘Because we cannot expect the people being oppressed to do all the work. It’s on all of our shoulders to do that work. And I hope other people are brave enough and willing enough to do this.’”
Belated Dragon Con photos. My wife is surrounded by Fraggles! These are all the performers and actual puppets from the new “Back to the Rock” series; Karen Prell is one of the original performers.

@JessTheUnstill@catsalad This is part of a deliberate effort to lower market rates for software engineers. By flooding the market with laid-off workers, and by labeling many of them as “under performers,” they can drive down salaries across the industry. This is their way of resetting and gaining the leverage in hiring.
RFK Jr. is objectively the wrong candidate to run HHS. There is nothing in his background or responses to questions that show he is fit for the position. Are Republicans really that fearful of going against MAGA?
@feld@ekis They’re still under the DOJ, right? So, ultimately, they answer to the president. Since Trump signed an EO designating most federal employees as “political,” he can pretty much fire whomever he wants.
On the little server I have running here at home, I'm now helping @internetarchive back up US Government websites and data.
You can help, too:
1. Download and run the ArchiveTeam Warrior 2. Set the selected project to "usgovernment" (or select US Government from the available projects in the web interface)
I'm running Warrior as a container with podman, but there are various other ways to run it.
@BeAware@shanie So, I went through and defederated from all the birdsite crossposters except for bird.makeup. That appears to be the only one that works reliably anyway, and we have over 800 users who follow folks there. My searches look much cleaner. 😁
@BeAware@shanie I understand. So, in order to avoid seeing all these junk accounts (Twitter cross-posters) in search results, I'd need to suspend the domains at the instance level?
