It took a few days in my case. I wish I could offer better advise on how to get help from them, but it's a black hole. We got lucky because att fiber came in shortly after, and I switched on day one to get away from them. I had even been considering 5G or starlink before fiber saved the day.

Steve also went on a podcast to talk about this in depth. It's worth a listen, especially if you've been around the block a time or two: www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9wA...

The AI Vampire This was an unusually hard post to write, because it flies in the face of everything else going on.

An important read for those of us on the edge of software development with AI. Take care of yourselves out there... steve-yegge.medium.com/the-ai-vampi...

We need to talk about Big Tech's role in Fascism. YouTube video by Luke Miani

I get it. You don't want to advertise all the good stuff so you just took some stock photos of random groceries. Whatever you do just don't tell them about the tenders and fries. We don't want that secret out.

WordPress is terrible, and you should never use it under any circumstance.

Spent Saturday morning supporting the Central Texas Food Bank's mobile food pantry. All the smiles helped us get through the on and off rain and cold -- it was good work, and we helped a lot of folks. If you can, please consider donating money or volunteering: www.centraltexasfoodbank.org

After all the driving (7000+ mi so far) and events you'd probably expect me to be tired, and I am, but I'm also incredibly energized by what I've seen from people.

You can join us at @xoruby.com in Austin this Saturday.

Rainy, windy, cold...still shorts weather though.

Great people, great venue, and a wonderful speaker lineup. Really looking forward to joining fellow rubyists this Saturday in downtown Austin. Join me, and come say "hi"!

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

Hey, #ruby folks! I've been one of the #RubyGems maintainers for the last decade.

Ruby Central has forcefully taken control of the RubyGems organization on GitHub, the `rubygems-update` and `bundler` gems on rubygems[.]org, and more.

Yes, do this.

"You cannot arrest someone because they are Hispanic" is worth fighting for. It's worth shutting down the government for. And it's worth attracting attention to.

This is the official team page of the James Talarico campaign.

It’s time to take on the billionaires and their puppet politicians.

This is a good moment to showcase the incredible work being done on @zen-browser.app. Highly recommended to any users still holding on to Arc while it becomes abandonware.

More poetry, less prose.
