How that sort of thing is tolerated in any community is mind-boggling to me. That guy is absolutely radioactive. I was considering a switch to NixOS on the Bazzite computer, but now I know what I'm doing over the Christmas break.
I retract my previous support of Bazzite as a project until administration changes take place. Apply by their own Code of Conduct.
Ban or remove Antheas from staff, community, and social channels. Antheas has made FOSS devs walk away and been a sore spot of an otherwise fantastic team and project.

Researchers have found two new vulnerabilities in React Server Components while attempting to exploit the patches last week.
These are new issues, separate from the critical CVE last week. The patch for React2Shell remains effective for the Remote Code Execution exploit.

Hmmm, oxfmt might not quite be there for me. It's in alpha so I can't be too hard on it, but some of it is perf-related. Coming from biome, the json perf feels really underwhelming (Yes, I know, it's handed off to prettier)

I know, I know: dealing with SQL is hard and ORMs seem like a great choice to avoid dealing with it. But sticking to "plain old SQL" can actually have a great developer experience! Here's why you might not need an ORM after all

I've never seen the industry so reluctant to spend. I had a company with 9 figures (yes, in USD) in revenue turn down a low five figure quote for a custom solution that would be revenue generating.

I was studying art, and was selling websites to make ends meet. I wasn’t really born with the network or the endurance for it, so all that was left was teaching, for less than I was already making.

One of the biggest adjustments I see new leaders going through is the amount of context shifting.
It’s very frustrating! Where your work used to allow for flow state, you need to stay interrupt driven so your staff can stay focused.
Leaders should be helpers.

My hot take is that if there is a single corporation so essential to national interests that the government allows its employees to exercise their Charter right to collective bargaining for 10 minutes before calling it illegal, then that company should be broken up.

“We’re going to stay committed to making sure that those workers can do the job that they love doing and actually be able to afford a roof over their heads, to afford caring for their families,” CUPE president just said.
“If it means folks like me going to jail, then so be it.”
