Two rules (from @npub1jet…smwu who started this):
1. Give money to the open source projects which are probably 90% of your code base. $2000 per developer on your staff, although you can and should do better than that. (@npub1hhf…qrnt are doing better than that.)
2. Report every year on whether and how you did it.
This seems like a good idea today, and a thing where non-participation should feel weird tomorrow.

is there some sort of docker management GUI app for Linux? Not Docker Desktop (it can't manage docker stuff created before it was installed). I feel like there ought to be some more convenient clicky version of "docker image list", a GTK app or whatever, where I can click stuff to delete it.

HA HA HA HA HA HA I have found out why my iPhone iCloud backup was larger than 5GB but there was no way to reduce its size!
Turns out... if you bookmark a web app to your Home Screen then its data is included in your iCloud backup. This is very good! Nice one Apple.
But it doesn't show up in the "Backup Details" list of apps in your iCloud Backup settings, so you don't know where the space is gone. This is not as good. I shall file a bug.

another Stuart Genius Move: my "how to promote to production.md" document is in the production branch of the repo, which means that I can't read it until I've already switched to production. Well done Langridge, you're amazing

by these words I summon the presence of @npub19c6…ttya who would doubtless like to hear about any issues like that with quickemu so they can be fixed :)

second vote for quickemu (and quickgui to go along with it)!

Now Stuart, try to learn this.
Tailscale: a VPN to connect all your own machines together that lots of your friends think is good
Tailwind: CSS framework which avoids the unmaintainable horror of style="color:red; width:200px" by providing maintainable forward-thinking utility classes such as class="color:red width:200px"
Tidelift: subscription service for companies to help maintain the open source stuff they rely on
You keep getting these names confused. Read this and learn and get it right.

yikes. I applaud the effort to attempt to emulate their look with decent semantic HTML. Keep it up :)

I mean, they use a million lines of JS to provide an embed, but there’s nothing stopping you using their same CSS so it’s indistinguishable

Journalists: X (formerly Twitter) descends further and further into a land of fash arseholes
People: we agree. So why are you still there? Some journalists believe in what they write, and have left. You remaining ones, what’s your excuse?
Journalists: but Twitter is where news is made
People: no, the world is where news is made. Twitter was where it was talked about. Not any more.
