Some helpful advice for all you software devs:

- You cannot solve social problems with code

- You cannot improve a system until you understand why it works the way it does

- You cannot produce tools for someone else without understanding how they work and what they are trying to accomplish

We are running some experiments on our infrastructure testing our current resource usage. This involves reducing the amount of resources we have allocated to the cluster to measure how much we *actually* need. We aren't expecting any performance impact, but are actively monitoring. If you see any weirdness, please let us know!

La fatigue... On a déjà 3 systèmes de log différent dans le monorepo (ou 6 si on est flexible sur la définition). Un collègue veut en rajouter un autre plutôt que de réutiliser un des système existant...

J'ai fait une revue de code pour lui expliquer que c'est pas une bonne idée. Sa réponse... tout les systèmes existants ne collent pas exactement à ce que l'on attendrait d'un système de log applicatif.

Je vois qu'on est reparti pour un tour...

While you were studying the blade in your parents’ basement, I was being crushed by the class system because that’s how the real world works since the dawn of agriculture civilizations unless that blade is bolted to a guillotine

@GrapheneOS is being threatened by French authorities for refusing to add backdoors and they're dealing with coordinated attacks in French media right now. They're pulling out of France entirely, moving all their servers, and fighting off a wave of bullshit one-sided reporting that makes them look like they're helping criminals.

They need us to fight back. Support them however you can, whether that's a dollar, sharing their story, pushing back on the garbage news coverage when you see it, or just telling someone you know about what's happening. All of it matters because they're drowning in attacks from governments and media and bad actors who want them gone.

This is the only Android OS that actually makes me feel like privacy isn't just marketing. They fight for us now they need us to fight for them.

The EU is pushing Chat Control and creating an environment where governments feel empowered to threaten developers into compliance, and if we stay quiet we're letting it happen. Show up for them in whatever way you're able to.

Lots of people are calling out the fact that X is filled with fake MAGA influencers from far away countries, but I wanted to point out that this, not "ideological censorship," is why companies have trust & safety teams that work on stopping inauthentic behavior.

@raphael there's also bandwagon and perhaps mirlo (if they achieve their goal of federating), even though they're closer to bandcamp than soundcloud.

@beka_valentine foam is really, really cheap (at industrial scale, anyway); intuitively we'd expect fabric to be less so. but we're guessing.
