Check it out; we released a new episode of that talking into microphones thing we (mostly) middle-aged men often do every other week. https://linuxmatters.sh/38/

What a difference a day makes! Yesterday “Linux Bro”, today, “abnormal dickhead”.Threads is becoming quite the mirror on humanity.

One thing the LLMs are really good at, is inventive ways to annoy my kids. A successful example in four pictures...

The process of booking a practical driving test in the UK is mad. New slots are released at 6 am on Monday. You join a queue on the website, then get through to book. Pick a date and location, then get presented with either none or some options, so repeat with another date/location. Pick one, and it's gone by the time you click it. Eventually, you have to book a test in a faraway place with slots and fewer bots and people. Then, hope for a nearby cancellation.

📝 A request to tech writers & devs:Let's make docs more accessible by avoiding placeholder terms like "foo", "bar", and "baz". These terms:- Create unnecessary barriers for newcomers to tech- Make documentation harder to understand and remember- Miss opportunities to demo real-world use cases

Instead, consider using:- Descriptive examples ("user", "product", "order")- Relatable scenarios ("bookstore", "recipe", "playlist")- Simple numbered items (item1, item2) when context doesn't matterSmall changes like this make our documentation more welcoming and easier to understand for everyone! 💡

I wonder how much of Googles money Mozilla paid Google to try to entice me away from Googles browser.

Good morning, Internet people. It's week two of my new job at Tessl in London. One of three days a week in the office. After 15 years of working remotely, I am loving this. One hour drive to work, and a perfect parking spot. Have a great day! 😀

Poor charge experience with my Mini and Gridserve. Called them up and they said they have problems with Minis due to the locking mechanism??

I made a (sort of) "Tinder for Git" site to help developers find 'good first issues' in open-source projects. It's early days, but it could be helpful.https://gitafix.com/

@joergi Looks like the fediverse instance you're using is putting something in the way of clickable links in your feed. That's rough.
