'I’m just a girl, standing in front of the British government, asking why they want to give away all my work as part of the UK's 126 billion pound creative arts industry, to serve another industry being run by greedy tech bros, just so they can destroy everything else just that little bit faster.'
Felt incandescently angry, might delete later.

Rage, rage against the dying of the mic!
Look, I have a book I should be writing, but I have so many other words screaming in my head that I need to write them down first. Buckle up, my darlings, because this post is breaking my social media...

I’ve loved so much of @aptshadow.bsky.social’s sci-fi that the different style of City of Last Chances has been a delicious surprise. Notes of Mervyn Peake with sprinklings of the less goofy parts of Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams, but a distinct voice and style and compelling world building.

I was driving through semi jungle today in Brazil (this is easily the most ridiculous sentence I’ve ever started a social media post with) and it reminded me of this glorious game I never managed to beat on my Apple //e, The Mask of the Sun. These were *immersive* graphics for me as a kid.

The cncf must get back to some of the basics discussed at the start. The only way to make a large number of projects sustainable is for there to be clear business models that support the employment of maintainers and simplify the process of acquiring customers to fund this.
Wrt the NATS/CNCF thing. Some thoughts:
1. Not every project is right for the CNCF. You are giving up control and you get community, support and a place to collaborate.
2. There may be things that the CNCF could/should do to help projects that are small and driven by a single company.
