"I am concerned that Ruby Central’s board with full knowledge of the consequences and the alternatives voted to take over a collection of open source projects from their maintainers without consent. Especially when these maintainers were acting in good faith at the time. This is the organisation we are meant to trust to host our Ruby gems."

I’m so glad the layoffs at #Shopify acted as a wake up call around the reality behind the perks, the mission, and the many other tools that they use to detach from yourself emotionally.

So it was a self-coup backed by a billionaire fascist after all.

💥Breaking News! #Shopify, the puppeteer of the #Ruby world, just turned Ruby Central into its marionette, snagging #Bundler and #RubyGems like they were on a clearance sale. 🤡 Because nothing screams "community" quite like a corporation bulldozing its way into open source projects. 🎭

It's very neat that #Shopify lets you set a focal point for images (https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/online-store/images/theme-images#setting-a-focal-point-on-an-image).

Their own Craft theme didn’t use it for product cards (thumbnails). I fixed it: https://thepugautomatic.com/2025/07/use-focal-point-in-product-cards-in-shopifys-craft-theme/
