I’ve been trying to convince leadership I work for @siderolabs.com to shut down our X account
I created the bsky account last year hoping that it would get more followers than X as a final reason we don’t need X anymore
If some of y’all could follow that account it’ll help with my case

I've said for years that Twitter has become nothing but a hate site and a vector for harassment.
And now it's a doxxing tool.
Get the fuck off of Twitter, now. And pressure the organizations you work with to get off.
It's a danger to everyone's safety.

NEW: Elon Musk's Grok chatbot will, with minimal prompting, provide residential addresses of everyday Americans.
Prompts as simple as "[name] address" immediately returned accurate home addresses of private citizens — alongside other personal info we didn't ask for.

I've asked the team behind Cue to come prepared to discuss the limits of configuration management when dealing with different configuration systems, for example, using Terraform, Kubernetes, and GitHub Actions to manage a single project, something that occurs more often than you would think.
Final call! 📣
Join us with @kelseyhightower.com tomorrow, Tuesday, Nov 4, at 17:00 UTC to explore the future of configuration with our Configuration Control Plane, and turn configuration from a source of risk into a source of reliability!
