I own way too many clicky keyboards. I love relaxing in hammock chairs and I have deeply obscure Simpsons references for every situation.

Ruby Central announced the next RubyConf in a YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vkbRlYCJY0) but it just doesn't hit the same as their paragraphs of obfuscated PR-speak, so as a courtesy to the community I have provided a translation.
![Thank you for staying engaged as we move together. RubyCentral is committed to its stewardship of the community.
For this week's newsletter, we're sharing an announcement regarding community events, which is one of the areas we consider to be critical to the health of the Ruby community, both from a technical and interpersonal perspective.
There have been a number of questions shared from the community about such events, including whether we would be hosting them again, and in what capacity.
We have decided to move forward with a national-level event centered on Ruby. This event will be held in a major city in the US at a conference-style venue. In regards to the timing, the dates have been set and the event will be held during the summer.
Moving forward, we are committed to full transparency regarding events. Building trust with the community means having regular, transparent releases of information on a reliable cadence.
We acknowledge that this transparent style of communication has gaps in completeness, and we are committed to solving these problems out in the open with the Ruby community.
If there are any questions, we encourage sharing them using [this link].
Ruby Central's role is to protect the infrastructure that powers the Ruby ecosystem. We aim to rebuild trust with the community by acting transparently, strengthening governance, and inviting collaboration.
Thank you.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:amoxtyvmcftfreyte7vrz73g/bafkreic6kf6aoqc3bly33j4vyoy2mebeldi72p3yyn543f4ityq4jufkom@jpeg)

ProTip: Got an ant infestation somewhere in your home?
Quick ant poison recipe: Mix hot water with some sugar and Borax powder (I used about 3 parts water, 1 part sugar, 1 part borax). Mix until dissolved. Apply near where the ants are. They'll be gone in a day or two.

I was frantically trying to figure out a bug in a macOS game I made all evening after I noticed that sound effects wouldn’t play in my app.
Turns out this is a Tahoe bug.
In Tahoe, sounds just aren’t playing through SpriteKit, period.

On my way to Austin to speak at @xoruby tomorrow afternoon!
I feel surprisingly good about this talk given how quickly I’ve had to put it together.
If you’re not in Austin the talk will be recorded.

I continue to be flabbergasted by just how *boring* billionaires are with their money. Like... where's the paying your favorite band to record a new album entirely without commercial pressure? Commissioning some artist to make a massive mural of a bee/cheeseburger creature? Where's the contract to fill an entire swimming pool with cream and let everyone in the city jump in? Where's the "giving 100 homeless people houses just to see them smile friday"? You have enough money to explode god, but you'll buy things that make more money, yachts you barely use and houses that are much too big for anyone to sensibly live in. How fucking empty a person do you have to be for that?
