Penpot have announced their ambassador program and I’m excited and honoured to be part of the first cohort of ambassadors alongside some fantastic and inspiring folks. https://penpot.app/ambassador-program
Check out the announcement: https://community.penpot.app/t/penpot-ambassador-program-is-live/10405
I’ll be building community where I'm based here in the UK but also wherever my connections to open source software and design take me and my work.
I’ve long been a supporter of Penpot and design needs reliable and dedicated tools and teams that support the growing need for design in open source software and transparent and open source design as a practice.
I can’t wait to get working on our collaborative library and share the liberating and collaborative nature of open source design facilitated via Penpot! 💖✏️
Come and join all the ambassadors Penpot Community Hours, 20th March at 3PM UTC.

FYI: The new article template supports not just ORCID, but also ROR markers! Your ECSCW papers can reference ROR IDs for contributing institutions and funding organizations.
Funders increasingly ask to be human- and machine-readable in papers and their metadata, 
@ResearchOrgsResearch Organization Registry helps you with that.

We've been weaning ourselves off ordering things from Amazon, so my wife went and ordered something big from a different retailer, who was actually advertising it at a lower price than Amazon. Well, after a week of waiting for the item to ship, it suddenly just arrived. Turns out the order was fulfilled through Amazon anyway.

It’s incredibly ironic that since AI is trained on buggy code it’s very good at writing buggy code.
Truly a monkey’s paw situation for AI productivity gains as you are now producing bugs at a faster rate.

i've said this before but i'm gonna say it again: it's *fascinating* watching the software industry rediscover why best practices exist in real time

Python 3.15a7 is now ready for testing with the new built-in frozendict type!
thanks to AI demand, Lattice cannot make enough FPGAs to fulfill orders on iCE40's (and probably ECP5's) with less than a year of lead time. this is likely to cause supply chain issues for Glasgow revD
words cannot describe my contempt for this shit, and my disdain for anyone still pushing it
(there is no shortage or supply chain issues with the silicon itself. rather, the problem here is the resin used to make a part of the packaging. in theory it would be possible to just glue a die to the PCB and bond it out during assembly, in practice this would be prohibitively expensive as far as I know)
Everyone knows Yuri Gagarin was the first person to go to space. What this article presupposes is…maybe he wasn’t? It all boils down to what your definition of space is. https://www.newscientist.com/article/2517964-why-yuri-gagarin-wasnt-the-first-in-space-and-who-beat-him-to-it/
Over at 
@fedihost we get asked about character limits enough times for me to write this up in the hopes of heading off some support tickets.
https://fedihost.co/blog/slug/custom-mastodon-character-limits
Basically, the character limit is hard-coded so you have to run a branch to change the limit to over 500.
Do you guys think that #Mastodon should make the character limit easier to change?
Most economists agree that by the time you're 50, you should be living in a book-filled cottage at the edge of the forest and solving minor mysteries in your village with the aid of a curious ghost cat.

🚨🚨 URGENT: Multiple political groups are meeting NOW to discuss their voting on the Chat Control amendments TOMORROW. They are being lobbied massively by industry and NGOs. Chat Control hurts everyone. The template has been updated, take contact now: https://fightchatcontrol.eu/ !
PSA: You CAN'T use bunny.net as DDoS protection for Mastodon/Fediverse servers.
Their reverse proxy implementation quietly breaks Mastodon request signing, and support just got back to me and said it's intentional and they won't fix it.

I'm disappointed.

Commentators like to compare the US and China’s AI development, but the truth is the two countries hold very different AI goals, so a direct comparison misses important details. https://spectrum.ieee.org/us-china-ai?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=fedica-Mastodon-Daily-Pipeline

Fuck . We're doomed.
Habe eine iranische Kollegin. Deren ehemalige Grundschule wurde getroffen, ihr Eltern wohnen am anderen Ende der Straße. Sie haben panisch ihr Haus verlassen, mussten aber zurück, um ihre Medikamente zu holen. Es fühlt sich so absurd an, dass das wirklich passiert.

Southern Ontario (or even Canadian) friends... my CAA membership expires in 4 days. Should I re-up so I can get help if I need it (battery assist/towing), or just put a reputable towing company in my address book? ($136/yr vs one-time towing cost of $250)
Didn't need CAA this year, but who knows. Car's 10 years old now, running fine for now.

Okaaay...the overall subject requires Special Relativity, but I'm sure they'll include that.

Finally learned a #figureskating skill that I’ve been trying to master for 15 years!! Power pulls require a huge amount of muscle control and puts a ton of force on your feet and ankles, so when I first tried to learn them, my coach said it was going to take a lot of muscle development to get there. And I finally got them!!
