@tangled.sh: Getting `Invalid patch format. Please provide a valid diff.` when I try to do something that feels pretty basic. Am I missing something? 🤔

I’m going to pull my teeth out if the left tears itself apart over whether Pete or AOC would be a better candidate while Trump dismantles every single check on his power.

Let’s have the debate while deep down adoring both of them as insanely smart, principled politicians that we are lucky to have.

Incidentally, a useful tool on here is the labeller from @pronouns.diy . If you subscribe to that labeller and like the posts with your pronouns on, you will be able to see the pronouns of anyone else subscribed to it, and they'll see yours, under your username, like this.

🦀 Hello World!

The Rust project now has an official presence on Bluesky! ✨

We'll be posting the same on our Mastodon and Bluesky accounts, so you won't miss anything on either platform.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

First I want to say hello and be clear how happy I am to those of you who have chosen to (re) follow me in this new post-mozilla era. My current plan is to mix the topics of technology today with learnings from Mozilla. Sometimes that will occur in the same conversations, sometimes separately.

someone (with actual legal expertise) really has got to write something on how to read privacy policies and TOS' and what common boilerplate sections really mean / why they exist, because im so tired of all the FUD every time a company changes their TOS

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do.

Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.
Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.

Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.

But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.

They aren’t firing for a reason.

It was great to be part of this release, and a pleasure to work with the WGPU community. 😁

Today, I'm donating to @neovim.io and @wezfurlong.bsky.social ( #WezTerm ) after a year of _very_ happy daily driving for...practically everything I do when I'm developing at #Mozilla working on #WebGPU for #Firefox. It feels so good to give back to these personally load-bearing projects. Thank you!
