#Windows11 so far seems like it's the best #marketing tool and product to encourage #people to switch to #Linux or #FreeBSD.

Not only is it great to see new people exploring these OSes, it's awesome to see them #discover #joy in using them.

I stumbled across this gem of an article yesterday about Microsoft's continued "excellent" QA track record. Great marketing indeed. 🤣

Ah, kwality is coming back! #macOS #Tahoe #DiscoveryD #Quality

Imagine if only 50% of the energy that is currently used to talk about #LLMs and "#AgenticCoding", was instead used to talk, teach and practice #TDD.

Imagine what kind of #software we will have in either scenario 10 years down the line...

Just got our "United Federation of the Fediverse" #shirts that @Lioh sent!

WOW! They're incredible #quality. Honestly some of the nicest #t-shirts I've ever owned. SUPER soft! Plus now my wife and I can represent the #Fediverse MORE in #public

And of course Lioh was right! #Americans are larger than #Europeans. lol I'm not really overweight ... much ... and I wear a Large in the #US and Lioh sent an XL which JUST fits. Thanks for the 2XL as well!

EVERYONE go check out these shirts and pick up your own. I can't get over how good they are!

And thank you so so much to Lioh for creating the shirts and sending us some.

And thank you so much to @mullana for the wonderful artwork on the shirt!

Not doing unit-/integration testing is not a strategy - it's a clusterfuck!

Aside from modern #ebikes, and possibly disc brakes, bicycle #technology stopped "innovating" for the average person during the 1990s, and actually the #quality and environmental #sustainability of #bicycles since then has been declining.

While it certainly has advantages for competitive racing, carbon fiber is not recyclable in any meaningful sense, and its benefits are so marginal for the average person that it really has no place outside of racing.
