Ivan's explainer of why you should bother and go to protest rallies.

1. If people living under an authoritarian regime do nothing, it solidifies, and a few years later you (or your family member) find yourself in a war with some state or another. Or in a famine. Or in a genocide.

2. Coming out on a peaceful protest is a way to avoid item 1 without violence. But for it to work, the numbers must be overwhelming. It may take several times.

So come out to get counted. It's not hard.

Big shout out to Tusky, ActivityPub, et al for being well-made and letting me browse cat pictures and other vital entertainment while _in the middle of $/#@ rural nowhere on the train home.

The cows are impressed.

@elilla "Signal-shaped noise" is an utterly brilliant characterization of what "gen AI" produces.

one of the more useful things I realized at some point for how to be a good code reviewer is "that's not how I'd do it" is not constructive feedback and is not a valid reason to request a change, and if you can't think of an actual good reason to block a review, you can save a lot of time for everybody involved by just chilling out about it

Hi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.

While talking to a colleague about how I recently learned most people have never sat on a cow it came up that she has never sat on a horse. Like, not even once during childhood.

Another colleague admitted they also have never sat on a horse.

My hypothesis is that most people have at one point in their life sat on a horse.

One common problem among open source maintainers is they tend to be too damn polite. A guy comes and drops a huge review bomb onto a project, and the maintainers spend hundreds of words to politely tell him to do better: https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/pull/14369

Don't. Just close unreviewable PRs. He's likely very much aware of what he's doing, either wanting to bully you to merge his code out of vanity, or worse, he could be trying to xz your project burying a backdoor somewhere in the middle of the slop.

3. Ability to validate code.
