Suddenly, their closed source bionic eye implants lost their updates.
Their implants: now "obsolete, and unsupported".
The employees were laid off.
What happens to the patients when software upgrades are gone?
#FOSS matters.

My wife got a new computer...
Microsoft: "You don't need to do this... we can make it work..."
It's been a *very* long week. Now for some `git revise` foo to make it look like things went well.

BREAKING NEWS: Tech company does not limit their business model when asked to do so. 🤯
When asked to make less money for the betterment of humanity, they only advertised about how much they care about their customers.
Politicians will try asking nicely next year again.
There. No need to watch tech news anymore for the next 3 years.
This #christmas, I miss #easter. As important as the incarnation is, the resurrection is *everything*. This past Easter I didn't handle the local COVID lockdowns and other chaos well and didn't anticipate or revel in the celebration of life enough. This season, the lead up to Christmas has me looking forward to resurrection Sunday more than even.

...a priest, a minister, and a rabbi walk into the systemd bar. systemd shoots them all and replaces them with systemd-spiritualadviserd.
The SILE Typesetter now renders basic math. Your 2 + 2 = 4 and other profound truths can be now be pretty as well as true. Even wrong answers can look nice.

It is proven! I am alerque on Keybase: https://keybase.io/alerque/sigchain#f6a2b6167cf8e1a06deec160bbc9e28d65dd1cadff8319b640c626506d5249110f
White supremacy –and indeed all manifestations of racism and every other sin that plagues the human race– thrives where the true Gospel has been forgotten, where man has set himself up as a god, each doing what is right in his own eyes and measuring the world against himself: judging his neighbor against the color of his own skin. The antidote is the Lamb that takes away the sins of the world: the unblemished Christ by whose standard all, black white and middle eastern, are wretches alike.

You know a programmer is frustrated when their commit messages stoop to this. “How's the bug hunting, catch anything today?” “No.”

Regarding the popularity of #mastodon :
I believe hosting companies are playing here a vital role
WordPress has grew to be a large part of the internet - greatly facilitated by one-click-installs provided by hosting company.
I think in today day and age where so much #OSS tools are available we should see more hosting company dedicated to provide one-click instal for #mastodon but also rocketchat, nextcloud, etc
I'm looking forward to seeing how many times #covfefe features in the next major dump of compromised passwords.
