Came into the office in my #FirefoxOS hoodie. Some engineers asked me “what was Firefox OS?” Oh boy. Let me tell you a story.

Made an amazing spaghetti carbonara last night and still pleased with how well it turned out.

Since Twitter isn't Twitter anymore does that mean we can now repurpose "tweet" to mean writing any social media post? Like "I tweeted on Mastodon that ..." or "I tweeted that out on LinkedIn"?

Very pleased that @w3c has published its updated #CodeOfConduct (which is now appropriately named a "code of conduct"). I'm proud to be one of the individuals named as having contributed into this document. https://www.w3.org/policies/code-of-conduct/

I'm seeing a huge amount of drama about the bluesky mastodon bridge but I have yet to be able to find – and I have looked – a concise explainer of what the bluesky mastodon bridge is, what it does and how one may make use of it? Can anyone reply with a non-drama-related link? 🙏

Whenever you hear the word “heuristic”, substitute “guess.”

I'm running into multiple situations where people are confused about the differences between open source licenses and open data licenses and whether the restrictions on data use in an open data license also apply to open source projects that might want to consume that data. Open source and open data are different things. (And both are different from open standards.) I think a blog post might be in order here.

I didn’t expect Los Alamos to be so verdant. It’s hard to imagine so much destruction being let loose on the world from such a beautiful place.

There is now so much AI generated goop on the web that I think the only answer is to wipe it and do a clean install.

Ending my short relationship with Tide bank as they couldn't do what what they told me they could do (accept international wire transfers) and their customer service was abysmal. Thankfully, I was able to recover my lost pay check.

Can journalists please just start saying "In a social media post, [person] said …" rather than talking about a specific platform? I think I'm about done reading "On X, formerly known as Twitter" or whatever.

Made an executive decision that the next @tag virtual f2f will be "hosted" in Mos Eisley.

Working in open source means that when you lose your job you just keep working on the same stuff, only you’re not getting paid for it now.

Once AIs just start writing everything for us and other AIs start reading everything written by those AIs and making automated decisions about our lives, then we will truly be free.
