So sad to see after four months, Ruby Central has still offered no explanation for their appalling behaviour. Anyone supporting them, sponsoring them, speaking at or attending their conferences can fuck right off.

after four months of private discussions, I have an update on the Bundler and RubyGems situation with Ruby Central: andre.arko.net/2026/03/03/fou…
Great post by @indirect.io with some concrete recommendations until accountability arrives:
* Don’t sponsor, attend, or speak at RubyConf.
* Contribute to projects that aren’t controlled by Ruby Central.
Ruby Central has resolved nothing and can't be trusted.

Heresy!
roadhouseendgame i was talking to my mom about cardassians and said something along the lines of what must it be like to be a cardassian civilian. like abstractly knowing the rest of the galaxy thinks of your species as 'the evil ones' and kinda sorta knowing your government runs labor camps and torture prisons and is a military empire, and it's a huge deal for everyone else in the galaxy, but you just like run a restaurant so it's not a big part of your daily life, so you just like, go about your day and make soup and don't think about it' and then halfway through my sentence i actually heard myself and then had to go sit down for like ten minutes. like sat down in a chair and stared at the floor for ten minutes
whoops
Today is Patreon story day! And my weird little escapist sf adventures probably aren't for everyone.
But 1,300+ people seem pretty happy they joined.

After reading "The geek feminist revolution" I set up to fix the bias in my younger years SF reading, and started to read only female-authored SF recommended by other women writers... I hope it brings you some joy that I have read and loved all three of those books (and then some) because of you 🐪
You don’t need more bad takes.

Screen shot of an essay in 2021 by Anthropic CEO on how they must compensate those who produce the works that power their models. Anthropic instead took the works anyway without any compensation.

6/7 So to summarize: In 2021 the Anthropic CEO knew full well that taking works they did not own or had rights to, to train their models, was wrong. Yet they willfully did it anyway.
But this isn’t exclusive to Anthropic. *ALL* GenAi companies do this.
This theft MUST stop.
MAKE AN EMERGENCY DONATION to Trans Continental Pipeline right now.
They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate there and they are overwhelmed with requests. CO borders KS, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.
GO DONATE.

The self delusional satisfaction of creative achievement
And yes, my "authentic self" is probably 313% too much of a horny anarchist to hold my Fintech job
Please, don't say "day job persona", it is your "secret identity"🦸♂️, much more in brand with Hurley's Heroes
in this picture it looks like you are going to tell me what planets are making me sad, while on the avatar you look like the leader of the anarchist sapphic bike gang that my cool aunt joined after fleeing her depressing desk job, and I have whiplash from the dissonance
A pattern I am seeing: "Generate a 10 question quiz on how this PR works to test my understanding." Do not allow merge until someone passes the quiz.
Gusto did this years ago but with humans writing the questions for certain types of PRs.
As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.
Historia común de Rusia y Ucrania, con una sociedad étnica y religiosamente diversa en guerras civiles desde hace siglos, que, en la última, de la que se cumplen 4 años, puede llevarnos a la 3ª Guerra.

“We were stunned [about the prescience] for a while, but we’ve really gotten to the point where it’s really sad. It’s just sad how predictable and lame and obvious and wrong it all is. Fascism is just a total fail in the end.” www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-featur...
If you haven't yet, The Good Witch movies and series have a way of warming my heart. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_Wi... and is very close genre-wise to cottagecore romantasy.
For books, Sangu Mandanna's The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches might hit that spot.

My daughter was stopped from using a dictionary at school and told to look it up with AI.
She reads about two books a day and for Christmas I got her socks that say "bookmarks are for quitters" and then had to stop her wearing them every day.
I'm deciding how angry I want to get about this.
Demanding an estimate guarantees the estimate will not be useful to the business and will always drive costs up.
Software engineers all know that estimates are useless.
