Oh yeah... You can get a "nines don't matter" or "test in prod or live a lie" or "if you liked it then you should have put an SLO on it" t-shirt or hoodie at my old bonfire shop, lol.

Just reflecting on the the fact that I have seen more videos from old white guys showing exactly how to handle law enforcement inquiry during a hypothetical traffic stop than I have ever seen advice about what to do if you, or someone your with, is being kidnapped by masked government agents.

Yes, no technology is perfect. But don't blame the tools you use for your own irresponsible misuse of the technology.

It seems like too little an effort to just post on @bsky.app that I'm really not okay with what's happening in our country, our community and the executive branch of the government.

So, I vote and I donate to @democracydocket.com -> www.democracydocket.com/support/

Oh, yes I've heard "I can build that in a weekend" so many times...especially unbelievable back when nobody had a Copilot/AI to help them code.
the fact that nobody says "I'll build my own java compiler" but plenty of people think they can build their own o11y that scales to their needs is something worth studying because both are of equal levels of complexity

How have they been planning this for years without so much as one person objecting to the plan, excusing themselves from the conclave and going to the authorities to prevent the forseen harms to ensue?

Anyone?

We could have had a whole different administration, with respect for all religions and non-religion. Instead we got this scary bullshit.

I had a convo with someone concerned about their personal internet traffic/ips being tracked and used against them by The First Ord...sorry, the justice dept.

I had two ideas for them:
- use a private VPN solution of any kind
- if you have networking at your home, purge logs often

Other tips?

I find that when I ask the dog if he "wants to go out" I then quickly think to ask: "but will you clean?"
