Oh hey my talk from London is online.

Do you like #Rust and want to know how to do more clever things with your concurrent datastructures? Watch this ✨ (or don't, I'm not your boss)

If you ever needed a single image that encapsulates the blame game around socio-technical systems often shifting towards operators, it would be harder to achieve better than this article did on one of its earlier versions:

Human error [...] manual signalling was in use due to broken electronic systems.

Another common comment we're also seeing a lot of is "I thought the GPU drivers weren't ready". They are! You can have a fully accelerated Linux desktop experience today.

They are opt-in simply because technically software rendering still provides higher compatibility.

This is also tied to the display controller driver (which a lot of you know for brightness control support) only because installing *only* the display controller driver, without the GPU driver, will actually regress software rendering performance due to technicalities.

The next major update coming soon will significantly increase GPU performance across the board, as well as compatibility.

But even the current version already renders some games better than macOS, because it has fewer bugs for those features which are already supported.

Let me use an analogy for non-technical people to understand it.

ActivityPub is kind making glass doors and huge street signs.

Mastodon figured that some people get very upset and hurt by seeing certain things behind glass doors, so they made special doors out of the huge street signs.

So my dialogues with ActivityPub purists normally go like this:

Me: "On Mastodon, we use street signs as non-transparent doors"

ActivityPub purist: "That's a wrong way to use street signs, you have to write something on it and point to a glass door"

Me: "No, people here took what you produced and fashioned it in a way to increase the safety of this space"

ActivityPub purist: "You don't understand anythin, signs are for writing, doors are for opening, we figured it out in our club so you have to deal with it".

I hope that the analogy is clear. I had a lot of conversations like this, so now I'm aggressively muting people who are misusing CWs. Yeah.

Answered to a person who misuses content warnings as topic line. Then I remembered that it defeats the purpose of CW and that it's disregarding to the safety tools put in place by masto authors to help people with trauma have a pleasant experience on social networks, deleted the toot and muted them proactively.

So I guess it's your bi-annual reminder that CWs aren't topic lines no matter what fedi standard devs tell you.

Q: What does "Strong No" or "Qualified Yes" mean?

A: "Strong" means you emphatically agree with few or no reservations.

"Qualified" means you have reservations. It's the "Yes, but..." option. If you're not sure you entirely agree, choose "qualified".

Note that this is a secondary definition of "qualified" and has nothing to do with your skills or abilities.

You've all been asking for it, and @lina's GPU article is finally here! ✨

Tales of the M1 GPU:

Product teams are full of people who’d rather work on fun theoretical problems than tedious actual problems.

Being good at execution is being able to tell the difference between the types of problems and addressing the tedious ones. You don’t need a new API, you need better docs

Presenting v0.1, which corresponds to v1.15.0-dev.

github.com/doma-engineering/go

We're planning to just maintain a small patch set for the time being which is put in place to support ergonomic in Elixir in general and library family in particular.
