Excited to team up with Kedify to drive the next wave of cloud optimization.

When our customers run Kedify on Arm-based infrastructure, they see major gains in both cost and energy efficiency.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Yes, this includes playing the video games, streaming the old movies, and visiting the theme parks.
It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Windows 10 support is going away. Why get extended support when this is the perfect excuse to switch all my older systems to Ubuntu and teach my kids about Linux?

Politics are inherently human; there's no escaping its influence in our lives. Every action and decision carries a political weight, reflecting our values and priorities. Acknowledge and embrace this reality to drive meaningful change.

Stop Avoiding Politics
Most engineers think workplace politics is dirty. They’re wrong. Refusing to play politics doesn’t make you noble; it makes you ineffective.

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed

student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism

teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

- informed consent in primary care
- bulldoze every gender clinic
- hold inquiries into the abuses that went on there
- apologies + damages to patients denied care
- bosh ✊

If someone wants to transition, at any age and for any reason, that’s their business.

Also - I can't believe we let the worst comedians on the planet spend *years* defining Freedom of Speech as a moral obligation to laugh at their bad jokes, and not as a protection against government censorship. You've been crying wolf for a while now gang, and a real wolf just got here! SPEAK UP!

Curious how NSS can deliver crisp frames at a fraction of the GPU load in Unreal Engine 5.5? 💻

In this Code-Along + Expert Q&A, we’ll set up @vulkan.org ML emulation, enable the NSS plugin, and visualize ML-powered upscaling in real time on Arm emulation layers.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.

This is not a joke. This is not normal.

Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

I am so in on this.

Knives Out was way better than Glass Onion, but Glass Onion was good enough that I am 100% in on new Benoit Blanc.
Look at that beautiful blue sky! ⏰☠️ Wake Up Dead Man, the new Benoit Blanc mystery. Thanksgiving in theaters, 12/12 on Netflix. More to come very soon…

Trans friends and family - I love you so much. We're going to get through this.

Also a reminder that they target the racialized members of our community first. We white trans people must protect our racialized siblings, always.

Btw, I remember there being some anxieties around folks expressing their opinions during primaries.

Besides being nowhere near a presidential primary at the moment, now is in fact the time for people to express certain lines they expect candidates not to cross.

Protect trans folks.
