The light in my toilet didn’t work for 2 years. I still don’t immediately turn it on when I go in, and it has been years. This is not a post about the light in my bathroom.

One of the lucky career breaks I've had was writing the ACM TechNews and ACM SIGDA email news summaries from 2000-2005. It paid terribly, and I had to be at work at 6:30 a.m. but I learned a whole lot.

Anyway, I just saw that the ACM's magazine, The Communications of the Association of Computing Machinery (CACM) is now open and free! As in, there's nothing behind a paywall any longer, including archived articles. The ACM's entire Digital Library will be open in January 2026. Really, really cool!

And so to celebrate, here's an opinion piece from the CACM's October edition from @pluralistic about why tech workers who hate enshittification need to unionize.

I want to dig in on why Red Hat is better at generating revenue from open source than anyone who has ever done it. This is a perfect example. Do you know how rare it is to generate $1B/ARR? Hashicorp is *half* that number. Let that sink in. https://twitter.com/krishnan/status/1618745809880875009

“It is difficult for an open-source product built on a vibrant ecosystem to achieve $1 B ARR. Kudos to Red Hat for sticking to their belief in OpenShift and taking it to where it is today”

If you take a #ship30 cohort, @[email protected] reckons you should focus less on keeping up with the material and more on making one real connection

If you have the misfortune of being a left-wing social critic, the most galling part of each day is encountering the ubiquitous self-designation of apologists for capitalism as champions of freedom https://buff.ly/3X9YDA3

But network effects cut both ways. If a system gets more valuable as it attracts more users, it also gets less valuable as it sheds users. The less valuable a system is to you, the easier it is to leave. https://buff.ly/3CADLK2
