Your isolation is not accidental. It’s intentional.

A client of mine recently attended two international tech conferences and reached out to share his experience.

The first, he said, was “status quo white dudes and a handful of women.” The second, Mozilla Festival, felt completely different:

“Good vibes... the diversity and efforts to promote diversity are HIGH. It feels really different. It feels... good.”

Alright, here's another check to see if I have anyone in my network with HR-ish/recruitment-ish experience who knows how to craft job applications who is also experienced with the open source world and thinks they could translate that... DM for deets?

Boosts welcome!

This HDD clock I found while cleaning out my office today goes so hard. I think I got it via a crowdfunding campaign, but now this Instructables article is all I can find: https://www.instructables.com/Recycled-Hard-Drive-Clock-FuneLab

#ZohranMamdani’s win shows the power of mobilizing non-voters

the most important number from Mamdani’s campaign is 100,000. That’s the number of people who actively volunteered for the campaign, knocking on doors, talking to their neighbors and co-workers. That’s one in every 10 people who even voted for Mamdani. They recognized politics as a living, breathing act of being in community, beyond just showing up to tick a box every few years. This has been foreign in this country for decades, but the Mamdani campaign and the Democratic Socialists of America are trying, and succeeding, in rebuilding this community and solidarity – in rebuilding working class political agency. To defeat Trump and the far right, this is what is necessary, across the country and on a massive scale. That’s the vibe shift we are just starting.

Hoy he estado viendo etimologías —porque qué otra cosa se puede hacer un sábado por la mañana— y estoy fascinado por la complicada relación del castellano y del portugués con el vocablo latino ‘iactus’

"Cette technologie, comme toutes les entreprises, nous aussi, nous nous en servons"

Ben non.

De quelle façon «Libération» utilise l’IA ?

This is exactly right, and it feels completely ridiculous the entire time you're watching.
