@dhh I run Ubuntu on my Linux desktop and it's mostly great. I was a bit miffed with the pressure tactics to pay them. They make it look like you don't get certain updates unless you pay. Pretty shady.

@DDDrewDaniel How do we buy tickets?

@dhh I did Samsung for years but then discovered the Google Pixel. So wonderfully free of crap apps. Works great for me.

@KATUNews Better fix the damn meters first. Most don't work!

@hiballenergy can you buy yourselves back from Assholes-Busch? I'm so pissed that they bought you and then killed you. Not sure what I'm going to do for morning caffeine now.

@bernheisel Thanks for the summary! As someone who is generally not a fan of going whole hog with types, I am cautiously optimistic.

@devoncestes I was getting multiple job messages a week for the last couple years but that completely dried up at the beginning of 2023. I'm not sure what a "strong tech job market" means for these journalists but there were tons of layoffs back around then.

@iteamon @flydotio Solid opportunity for some stellar customer service right here.

@jdan No I'm Brian!

@ZachSDaniel1 @bcardarella I just heartily agreed with @bcardarella's sentiment that telling newbies to "just build it" is sad. On the other hand I don't have the energy or interest to build and maintain a library. I'm not sure exactly what the answer is but I'm hoping the community can make it better.

@davydog187 I kind of see it as a symptom of the decay of late-stage capitalism... when technology has given us endless copies for free, we cling to artificial scarcity.

@TylerAYoung To be fair, there is a solid stable of Elixir talent here. 😊

@CFDevelop And it reeks of concessionary thinking. They really want butts in chairs but are struggling to get people to commit to that, so they bargain. Just do in-person if you think that actually fixes anything. Telepresence will only grow in adoption. It just makes sense.

40 years ago today, #NewOrder released their second studio album - the brilliant “Power, Corruption & Lies”

What are your favorite songs from this influential record?

@coryodaniel How about "didn't know 2 out of three of those was a thing"?

[Ben Munat @yukster1]

@bcardarella It seems the collective response to the pandemic was "ok, how do I get my money back".
