The first two seasons of The Diplomat felt like a thriller. The third more like a comedy.

I compensate for my lack of travel by having my bedtime fluctuate by more than five hours from one weekday to the next. It’s like going to New York!

TW self harm, harassment

TIL if you report expressions of self harm / suicide on Reddit, they ask you if Crisis Text Line should reach out to that person. I think that is great.

Quick search also seems to indicate that some people abuse this for harassment, which sucks. People can be horrible.

Looks like svn.techno-weenie.net is down. Where do people get their Rails plugins these days?

Which he has been trying to figure out for the last decade, while being a pillar of the Ruby community. The repeated publishing of emails and meeting notes, with wild interpretations, seem like attempted character assassination by @rubycentral.org and @searls.bsky.social. Hugely disappointing.
Apparently André repeatedly trying to figure out how to make things financially viable is the crime here?

I think AI is a scam by crypto bros to make their energy usage seem less absurd.

So far iOS 26 has mostly been annoying. Obvious settings seem to be missing or I’m unable to find them (like never translate German for me). Everything is over the top animated (feels like 2007 KDE) and looks shitty.

I'm so disappointed that Ruby Central gave in to pressure and pulled Jimmy Kimmel off the air.

After listening to about a dozen first-hand accounts, I’ve published what I know about the RubyGems takeover.

Because I saw someone quote Pratchett in a context where I really didn't like it, here's one of my all-time favorite quotes… youtu.be/DBnENlXt-H4?...
Terry Pratchett on why Belief and Faith beyond the confines of religion and science are important.

How tf is there no statement by Ruby Central on kicking out the #RubyGems team? Even if this was a normal process from their point of view, shouldn’t there be an announcement?
