Nice!! The child (whose best interest I'm sure you have in mind with this) will have his own screen. This is for evening movie watching.
OK professor
Thanks!
People with projectors instead of TV (plus-bonus: projecting on a a wall instead of a screen, in a normal sized house), what projector did you get?

At #FOSDEM PGDay last week, Jonathan Gonzalez and I presented a lightning talk about how the CloudNativePG project has been flooded with #AI contributions lately, as a way of catharsis. Now available in blog-format: dev.to/floord/open-... @fosdempgday.org @sxd.cl @cloudnativepg.bsky.social
Last weekend at #FOSDEM, @josvanschouten.bsky.social and I spoke in the Community Devroom about something most event organizers hope theyβll never need to deal with: what happens if someone breaks the Code of Conduct?
I adjusted the format for blog-consumption: dev.to/floord/what-...
Last weekend I attended @fosdem.org, but because I brought my 11-year old with me, couldn't stick to the murderous schedule I normally have for myself.
Thank #FOSDEM for recordings!
In case you're interested: my watchlist, ordered by devroom. dev.to/floord/my-fo...

We have quite a few team members in Brussels for FOSDEM PGDay and #FOSDEM. Up in half an hour: Bruce Momjian exploring "what's missing in Postgres?", but we were already on stage a bunch (not just to take the group photo)! @fosdempgday.org @fosdem.org
We had an amazing time at #FOSDEM, learning and presenting. Just a few photo impressions:
Jos has a ... look on his face
People are going to move on, retire, burn out - @clairegiordano.bsky.social at @fosdem.org - was the answer from the #PostgreSQL committers truly "only if you trained a successor you can leave"? Cause even when tongue in cheek... β οΈ #fosdem
At the Community devroom (UB5.230) most all day like every year #FOSDEM @fosdem.org
For speakers who gave their talk, you should have received a mail with the link to review your recording. We encourage you to perform the review, the sooner it gets reviewed, the sooner it gets published on the site!
#FOSDEM Lightning (Lightning) talks are such a gift. How else would one know about dishwasher salmon?
But also: isthatslop.com to detect AI slop (coming soon)
Alya Abbott in "Pull requests maintainers will love to review" talked a bit about AI-generated PRs and how those are not so lovely.
Here are the slides for how @sxd.cl and I as @cloudnativepg.bsky.social people are losing time over AI and bots: www.canva.com/design/DAG_5... (script coming)

Very emotional @fosdem.org opening by @richih.bsky.social "if we lose our democracies, open source is irrelevant and we lose" π

Exactly. It's a minor wound, but the warning still stands.
