Some awesome compiler, linkers and toolchain hackers I know are unemployed at the moment due to the Oracle layoff. I'm unable to absorb any in my team unfortunately, but if you have openings in your company, please let me know and I'll try to patch y'all up with some awesome toolchain hackers.

TDF ejects its core developers?!

In an exciting episode of the ongoing saga of The Document Foundation (TDF), their Membership Committee has decided that in order to grow the community and accelerate its mission – it would be fitting to eject from membership all Collabora staff and partners.

This is indeed April the 1st, but sadly this really is a summary of where we are now at; a double April Fool as it were.

About trans rights:

They're a wedge issue. If you think it's okay to deprive trans people of the right to exist in the public sphere then you're saying human rights are conditional and/or can be withdrawn. Which puts you on a slippery slope to no human rights for anyone.

When you trace the roots of the modern anti-trans movement they boil down to some combination of bigotry and billionaire bullshit— the oligarchs think rights are for the rich.

So: trans-rights are human rights. No exceptions.

Recently, someone said to me that I shouldn’t publicly share that I support #LGBTQ plus causes, because it might “make me look bad”.

That’s bull crap. Now I’m just gonna support the LGBTQ community •••EVEN HARDER•••!

Something a bit worrying to note about using Ai in healthcare.

I’ve had two specialist appointments recently, both using ai to transcribe. Both sent report letters with inaccuracies about my diagnoses and past medical history. Even my GP was like, “huh, that directly contradicts what I put in the referrals.”

I have followed up both and requested amendments (which were done) but if I hadn’t, these inaccuracies could have significantly damaged ongoing care, further treatment or insurance claims.

Human error has always been a factor, but both doctors were clearly using the ai software and assuming what it spat out was correct. They made no other notes during the appointments to cross-reference and double check. This is how Very Bad Things can happen.

People of #Cambridge! Could I interest you in a ride around the city this evening, delivering hot meals and good cheer as you go? Apply within.

No experience necessary. Just bring your own bike (or cargo bike, motorbike, car, pogo stick, whatever you prefer) along with a smartphone for navigation.

Every Thursday and every Sunday, we rely on 15 deliver volunteers stepping up to take one of our delivery routes. We need 3 more for this evening's session. Could it be you?

Boosts appreciated, especially if you have friends and followers in #CambridgeUK
