If you use GitHub (especially if you pay for it!!) consider doing this *immediately* Settings -> Privacy -> Disallow GitHub to train their models on your code. GitHub opted *everyone* into training. No matter if you pay for the service (like I do). WTH github.com/settings/cop...

if you're celebrating people getting laid off from one of the very few companies that was consistently contributing to a fully open source product, because you think that css cascades are really that important, really take a long hard look at your priorities

I've been quiet here on the work front, and never made an announcement 🥁 But this year I joined Yoto! It's an audio player for children that aims to entertain without the need for screens. Why does an audio player need a developer advocate? You'll find out soon 😄

Back in the day, Twitter used to be really good if I set up a thread to connect freelancers with clients. Let's see if Bluesky can do it. Clients: if you're looking for freelancers/contractors, get in the comments Freelancers/contractors: get in comments Everyone else: boosts appreciated

" • Node.js 18.20.0+ supports both `assert` and `with` • Node.js 18.0.0 - 18.19.x only supports `assert` • In Node.js 22, the `assert` keyword was completely removed, so `with` is required." Do open-source, they said, it will be fun, they said

Actually crazy how much more fulfilling your photography feels when you have a website of your own. Curating your own gallery and having things where you want to be, without having to care about algorithms or likes on Instagram is just so refreshing. Quite happy with mine now 😼 #believeinfilm

today is the real "liberation day"

As part of the ruling, the judge says that Apple cannot:

- Impose “any commission or any fee on purchases that consumers make outside an app”
- Restrict developers’ style, formatting, or placement of links for purchases outside of an app
- Block or limit the “use of buttons or other calls to action”
- Interfere with consumers’ choice to leave an app with anything beyond “a neutral message apprising users that they are going to a third-party site”

Got to be great for business for Deel knowing CEO is unfindable by the court As a reminder Deel handles payroll and HR - which makes it a high-risk business vendor which requires high trust. Cannot imagine new customers signing that hear about this lawsuit and court troubles… tcrn.ch/42JQ4kH
