Cynik se nasral, udělal ticket na vedení a okamžitě vypověděl smlouvy s účinností od 15/10.
Management reagoval do 6 minut, okamžité vyslal technika to na jejich straně opravit a nabídli mi kompenzaci v podobě roku hostingu a konektivit zdarma.
To se jim ta úspora za L1 support dost prodražila (vykreditovali mi £2800)
Whoops, git 2.47.0 just shipped with a significant bug in the `git maintenance` subcommand that causes it to segfault immediately, because of a gap in the test suite.
The git project is doing an excellent job of responding to this in an exemplary way: fixing the bug, amending the test suite, and directly questioning their dev practices to solicit insight into their own process blind spots. And they're doing it all in public.

Well done.
And by the way, git-maintenance is a relatively new git feature¹ (well, 2020-ish) that lets you set repo maintenance tasks to run on a schedule, such as running `git gc`, more aggressive object repacking, even prefetching of remotes that move quickly so that your morning `git fetch` is already primed to run nice and fast, with a minimal delta. It's simple, very useful, and worth using.

Open source: you all should use open source and private services because we’re not a corporation out to exploit you or your data.
Disabled users: hey, your registration edit field is not labeled so I can’t use my adaptive technology to register or even use your platform. Could you fix it, because, right now, the mainstream/corporate offering has taken accessibility more seriously and I’d rather use a tool/service that I won’t need to struggle with in order to operate.
Open source: what exactly do you expect? We can’t be expected to make things accessible for you, so you can either fork it yourself or just not use our software/services. We’re a small team and corporation has more money than we do so they can devote more time and effort to accessibility. You can always fork the project though and make accessibility yourself!
Disabled user: well, I can’t code, so it looks like I don’t have any other choice but to go back to using this corporate offering that at least took the time to label their registration field correctly and actually took my request more seriously. Oh well, maybe open source tools just aren’t for me.
Had a funny conversation in the shower rooms at work yesterday morning with another bike-riding commuter who I have been seeing a lot more regularly…
She upgraded her truck to one of those massive Raptors and now can’t fit in ANY of the parking buildings so is having to ride her bike to work.
Readers: I died laughing.

ABOUT THE .IO DOMAIN KERFUFFLE
this is one of those intersectional moments, many of you white folks in #tech need to learn from
not only is the .IO a geolocated internet TLD based on British colonial territories;
the whole origin and dispossession of Chagos people is a read:
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chagos…
what makes .IO extra sketchy is the creation of the domain itself:
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/.io
so, .IO LITERALLY exists for EU/USA capitalists to profiteer from slavery, colonialism & genocide.

I mantain a couple of #Android applications both on @fdroidorg and #google #playstore . Now Play Store asks me a document (personal ID card) to verify my account, otherwise it will be closed in October.
I don’t feel I should disclose #personaldata to a giant like Google, so I’m considering migrating my users to #F-Droid. How should I do it? There's already other people doing this? There's any material (e.g. a webpage) to point my users at that explains why and how they should install #fdroid and reinstall my apps from there?
I just released a new version of #Hieroglyphic, this version replaces the classification algorithm with a machine learning model trained on the data previously used to classify symbols, improving classification speed and overall accuracy (although some symbols are now classified less accurately due to lack of good training data).
To improve the training data, it is now also possible to submit recognized symbols (this is opt-in).
We're coming to the last few talks for the conference, but the excitement continues...
