Apropos of nothing, I'm heartened by the degree to which huge swaths of communities I'm attached to (thinking #lawfedi / #legal, #technology, #policy, #podcast, etc.) have seemingly rejected the siren call of going all-in on #Threads as a Twitter/X replacement.
I know many have been sailing under their own flag for quite some time, but we're hurdling towards two years and it feels like something that can persist.
We look back at what Linux and open source was like when we first got into it, and consider some of the ways that things have improved over all these years.
We like to believe that we are rational when assessing risks, whether that applies to seat belts or climate change. But our decisions are strongly influenced by our emotions, and not simply by facts. On Big Picture Science, it’s “Skeptic Check: Feeling Risky.”
For a new podcast I'm looking for guests from marginalized and underrepresented groups in the #elixirlang / #erlang / #BEAM community.
My co-host Adi Iyngar and me are looking to shine a light on the lived experiences of these communities. We're more than the tech we use and far too often folks are not able to bring their whole selves. This podcast is meant to be our little contribution towards changing that!
