If you write about the messy reality behind "free" internet services: we're seeing #OpenStreetMap hammered by scrapers hiding behind residential proxy/embedded-SDK networks. We're a volunteer-run service and the costs are real. We'd love to talk to a journalist about what we're seeing + how […]

#tiktok users had more freedom of speech under the Chinese Communist Party than they now do under American #techbro ownership. What a time to be alive.

This morning the #us Speaker Mike Johnson is telling the #uk Parliament that the American Declaration of Independence wasn’t a repudiation of Britain. Pretty sure we had a war over that. What a time to be alive in this age of moronic monsters.

If you are using #DDEV & the ddev #phpstorm extension on #bluefin you need to install nss-tools with rpm-ostree to get mkcert to work correctly, and in PHPStorm point the extension to the ddev binary in /var/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/ddev #php

Here in Edinburgh, the boiler at the #rockstar building blew up this morning, Rockstar probably treat their maintenance staff the way they treat their developers.

Following the letter to #norway, saying that #trump is mentally ill is a simple statement of fact. Unfortunately, #vance will be worse. Atlanticism has now taken on the character of appeasement, which is quite something. In WW1 Japan was a blood brother, a much closer ally than the US, within 15 […]

I have no idea if #yii3 is a good #php framework, the childish way it is being marketed makes it unlikely I will take the time to find out.

The problems at #tailwind are a reminder that if you depend on #oss software, and we all do, then sponsor people as much as you can, when you can.

#grok is manufacturing indecent images of children, a criminal offence in the #uk. Under the new rules can we issue an arrest warrant for #elonmusk and then send in the SAS to render his rancid arse to the Old Bailey for trial? #trump

The cause of the #uk Budget #OBR leak is hilariously bad, journalists just updated the link and kept hitting it until it worked.
