This hurts my heart. I've been a DigitalOcean fan since college. It was a dream to work there, and I got to live that dream. To see them fall so far and give a giant middle finger to the people who made them successful makes me jaded af. I actually believed in them. Not anymore

Musk is pathetic. Forced new system designed to boost his tweets to the entire twitter user base. Because Joe Biden's super bowl tweet got more views. sfgate.com/tech/article/e… Sad for Twitter. I need to move to the federated system. Losing this network in the transition sucks.

Paul Ramsey The thing I regret having to leave behind at Snap most was a spreadsheet of all the open DEM, LiDAR, aerial and 3D we'd catalogued building in house maps. For DEM a nice go to are the Joerd source and the list of suggested additions in the issues tab github.com/tilezen/joerd/…

1960s: "COBOL will let non-programmers make the software!" 1980s: "4GLs will let non-programmers make the software!" 2000s: "UML will let non-programmers make the software!" 2020s: "AI will let non-programmers make the software!"

I know I've been down on cloud lately, but I really like what Fly.io is doing. The HTTP verb-based region distribution is brilliant, it's built on stock Dockerfiles that are easy to migrate, and they engage with the ecosystem 👍

“In 2018, a group of Russians were able to donate to Johnson's bid for the Louisiana seat he eventually won as the money was funneled through the Texas-based American Ethane company. “While American Ethane was co-founded by American John Houghtaling, at the time it was 88

In my view, the key CPAC story isn’t that right-wing influencer Jack Posebiec said, “Welcome to the end of democracy. We are here to overthrow it completely.” The story is how many Republican lawmakers are absolutely silent about it. May I suggest the media ask every
