This rubygems stuff is devolving into some seriously petty shit that is BUMMING ME THE FUCK OUT. And it’s all unnecessary. You can’t just steal a goddamn project y’all. It’s as simple as that.

Super naive take. Aside from funding (happy to contribute), what's stopping us from playing an uno-reverse-card, forking rubygems.org and standing up alternate rubygems infra.

You know. The internet is a wonderful and horrible place. It’s going to destroy the world. But I’m glad we did it anyway.

Helen, @transistor-michael.bsky.social, & @transistor.fm's devs gifted me (Chad) an incredible support experience today.

~6 hrs after I asked how to make show notes links open in a new tab, Transistor's dev team released an update to make that happen! We LOVE hosting our podcast on Transistor! ❤️

I’m reminded of the famous Baron Rothschild saying:

When there is blood in the streets, it’s your blood in the streets!

Something like that…

My new traveling habit is doing ALL my laundry. That way I have the pick of the litter and it’s not a disaster when I arrive home with a bag of dirties.

I think I’m going to cancel my GitHub sponsors account. The only winner is the IRS/HMRC when every dollar is taxed twice. At least if I sold you something — a book, a course or whatever — you could expense it.

I also feel bad that it’s mostly individuals, not companies.

I'm so excited about these new Transistor features!!!

Bluesky-enabled podcast comments FTW! 🔥🦋
We've just released TWO new features for podcasters (and podcast fans) who use @bsky.app:

- publish an episode and it will auto-post to Bluesky,
- replies to that post become comments on your podcast website!

I just did a fresh bundle install on our main Rails app and holy moly y'all. So 👏 many 👏 gems.

I cannot overstate my gratitude to all the maintainers out there. I appreciate you. ❤️

I broke the housing of our whole house water filter and we’re without water until (hopefully) a part gets delivered tomorrow.

I’m taking the opportunity to shower at my kids swimming lesson place 🤫

Wanted to share a milestone @transistor.fm achieved last year:

We surpassed Simplecast in total podcasts hosted.

Here's why it's significant:

Many people don't know this, but @jonbuda.com built the first version of Simplecast in 2013.

That's how we met: In 2014, he convinced me to switch.

A venture backed startup is not a proper mechanism to solve the woes of open source maintainership
