If you heard me say 'User', it is only a reminder that we are all humans and no one is perfect.

How many Fediverse software use Markdown as its default text format — rather than HTML?
I think both PeerTube and Lemmy are Markdown native — rather than HTML.
Anything else?

You might be thinking that this is some unusual incident, that the press is cherry-picking and dramatizing the most sensational events.
I live in Minneapolis. The location in this article is pretty close to me. And I am telling you:
The press is •under•-covering what’s happening here. ICE is doing absolutely batshit stuff all the time, every single day, all over the city.
It is exhausting. 🧵
Somehow sad that #fosdem proposals get rejected without feedback what could be improved or which part didn't fit. Would be a great opportunity to learn.

This started a little slow (I don't mind that), and by episode five I'm hooked now. Brilliant, heartbreaking, very dark, but with splashes of (admittedly rare) humour.

Federal agents use chemical irritant on crowd in #Somali neighbourhoods of #Minneapolis amid #Trump crackdown
“Armed #ICE agents trapped US citizens in a restaurant & demanded papers.
Federal agents also entered East African restaurants in Cedar-Riverside, MN.
They closed and blocked the doors. Then they demanded to see everyone’s papers.
Everyone present was a US citizen.”

If you do not have jobs for juniors,
you won't have seniors for the jobs you need them for.
The use of llm-driven tools to eliminate junior-level jobs means you will not have senior-level candidates for the roles you need them for.
No llm is capable of the systemic understanding of projects that a senior developer needs to have.
If you are using llm tools instead of juniors and interns, you are shooting yourself in the foot.

This was my big weekend project. A few new characters I'm hoping to put together in an upcoming comic: The paper witch (he/him; left), Kim Kim (they/them; middle), and Werms (she/her; right).

Rust coreutils v0.5.0, passes 87% of the gnu coreutils test.
It‘s an achievement for the project. Congrats. It does pose questions why Ubuntu thinks it good enough for everyone, though.
*reading on*: 566 tests are passing…
What? The complete gnu coreutils has only 650 tests? For 79 commands?🤪
