    I recognize that time isn’t linear, and also I’m just old, but it still disconcerts me to be at some big arena event and hear, say, “Master of Puppets,” which came out 40 ago (and was decidedly *not* mainstream at the time.)

    It’s like if they were playing, I dunno, Bing Crosby at basketball games when I was in high school.

    @skinnylatte see now I’m sitting here wondering if things have gotten so dire that they’ll consider letting in a stinky American like me . . .

    @sam I live in Durham, NC, which is about 100x more compact geographically than Atlanta. Here we have a thriving Bicycle Co-op which has a physical space full of donated bikes/parts, and tools and repair stands, and the mutual aid part comes via training people to do maintenance and repair, and in exchange for time, they get to build a bike for themselves.

    https://www.durhambikecoop.org/

    It’s a great model that has been really successful, and my primary concern would be how to replicate it in a city as huge and sprawling as ATL.

    @LittleTokyo I replaced my beloved Panasonic Plasma with an LG OLED so now we are one of those weird families with a plasma TV mounted on the wall of the garage/workout room . . .

    I had an interesting conversation with some #Docker executives on Friday, in which they highlighted some changes to their terms of service / business model. TL;DR: enterprises are now expected to pay for a full Docker subscription for *any* access to any "Docker Platform" features, including Docker Hub, regardless of pull rate.

    So, for example, if you're a company with > 250 employees or > $10M revenue, and you have a Linux box pulling one open source image a week from Docker Hub, you must buy a Docker subscription for that box. And any others.

    Previously, their website verbiage was focused solely on usage of Docker Desktop by enterprises.

    If you are an #OpenSource maintainer and you're publishing container images on Docker Hub, they are monetizing your images, and they're doing so via a flat monthly rate regardless of consumption level. (IMHO that rate is too high, but YMMV, I guess)

    This is obviously their prerogative. Really my only request/suggestion to Open Source maintainers who publish container images would be to consider also publishing them on GitHub's container registry (aka GitHub Packages) or any other registry, rather than single-sourcing with Docker Hub.

    There's some good context & info in this piece once you get past the ridiculous editorializing of its author, e.g. "undermining the ability of Americans to live where they choose."

    TL;DR: centuries of short-sightedness on the part of Americans (draining coastal wetlands; suppressing natural fire cycles) have finally resulted in risks so high & expensive that the actuaries at insurance companies are walking away entirely.

    Saved you a click: “ Admins, if you decide beforehand that you don’t want your instance to federate with Bluesky over the bridge, the domain to limit or block is bsky.brid.gy”

    Also, fuck that guy. I’m not an idiot. If I want to federate with Bluesky I can do it myself.

      PSA: There is apparently a fedi-to-bluesky bridge project that is opt-out by default. https://ieji.de/@snarfed.org@snarfed.org/111919380001285500 I have opened an issue on github as asked by the original poster @snarfed.org@snarfed.org: https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/issues/835 Opt-out mechanisms include domain blocking at an instance level or adding yet another hashtag to a profile, which I personally find inadequate and insufficient.

    I just don't even know what else needs to be said about a bunch of people who are presumably pretty good at what they do -- the glibc maintainers -- still managing to introduce a *new* buffer overflow bug (new circa 2022) into one of the most important codebases anywhere, which in turn leads to multiple CVEs.

    Like, if you're still writing C of any kind in the 21st century, you have to ask yourself "am I better at manual memory safety than the glibc team?" And if the answer is no, then you're probably also writing these kinds of bugs.

    @thomasfuchs I felt like Jamie's point, which probably makes perfect sense from his POV (commenters coattailing on the "reach" of the OP) really *only* makes sense if you have a shitload of followers. Maybe such ppl need a different AP platform that figures out how to give them additional controls within the parameters of the protocol.

    I live in #DurhamNC & I spend a lot of time thinking about #synthdiy / #eurorack -- my dayjob is in tech because I'm a walking stereotype.I'm leftist, anti-fascist, pro-LGBTQIA+++, pro-BIPOC, anti-TERF/SWERF, bored with "free speech" arguments, and I believe all cops are bastards.Currently living on a single-user instance running #Akkoma and trying to decide whether to massively hack the web UI or just wait for one of the various frontends to get pretty enough to satisfy me.
