Had an absolutely awesome time at SCALE this year. It is the best year I've ever had there. It was so great to hang out with so many awesome folks and meet new friends. I'm exhausted, but feeling invigorated to work the challenges that will come this year.
Missed us at SCaLE 23x? You can watch the full talk here!
There is a special circle in hell for the horrible things Kristi Noem has done. At least I don't have to hear about her anymore. www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...
This is a really great guide about how ICE is abusing their power to surveil citizens. This is really worrying given that they have been receiving more funding. Abolish ICE. youtu.be/b1K7yLWs2DM?...
I'm so excited to see this thing in person!
Forgot the hashtag. #scale23x
Arriving at SCALE later today. @kylegospodneti.ch and I will be giving a talk on Bazzite on Saturday. Looking forward to hanging out with some cool Linux folks :)

Abolish ICE.
There’s no reforming it.
There’s no compromise.
There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.
@shaunvids.bsky.social Thank you for raising awareness around the issues in Minnesota. I have followed your channel for a long time and have appreciated all of the great videos you have put out over the years. youtu.be/XI4S95jNnXg?...
CNN in Minneapolis: We are seeing thousands and thousands of people, we've been standing on the corner here for the past ten minutes. This this crowd has not let up. It's just continuous.
Abolish ICE.

Thousands of people filled the streets of downtown Minneapolis in protest of federal immigration enforcement for the second consecutive Friday.

We believe strongly in being a true neighbor. Our Twin Cities-based staff spends a lot of time volunteering in the communities we live and work in ❤️
After the Boston Massacre, the soldiers responsible were arrested and received fair trials. King George recalled the regiment to England, and then American leaders were like “good, that was enough, we’ll remain your loyal subjects forever…” wait, that’s not right…
With the recent events in Minneapolis, we would like to encourage anyone who has the disposable income, to please consider donating to these organisations who are giving free legal aid to Minnesotans.

CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.
This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting
Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.
Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.
The grief and anger I feel about this situation is indescribable. The fact that the administration is lying this hard to protect their evil agenda is beyond words. Alex was a hero. Renee was a hero. Say their name. Do not forget them. Stand up Minnesota. The whole world is watching.
Abolish ICE, prosecute and imprison its leaders, impeach and remove the President from office. This is the only sane reaction to a group of armed men kidnapping and gunning down our neighbors in the street.
It’s not enough to say Abolish ICE. It’s not enough to vote no on ICE funding. It’s not enough to confront Kristi Noem or Greg Bovino with Stern Words.
If you are a leader, what are you doing to protect your community? How are you using your power, privilege, and position to confront this threat?
Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.
White. Hot. Rage.
The way the American government just lies to its citizens is insane. You could be at home sleeping and 5 masked thugs break into your bedroom and kill you in your sleep, and high ranking officials will go on TV and declare you're a terrorist and they acted in self defense
In an age of AI and Algorithms, it's been nice to just go back to listening to a radio station of human curated music. @somafm.com has been doing an amazing job with putting together some quality stations. My favorites have been Metal Detector, Groove Salad, DEF CON Radio, and ThistleRadio.
In case you missed it, the @sudoshow.bsky.social is BACK with a new cohort of hosts! Bill Schouten, @noelmiller.dev, and I kick off the new year by talking about the most important topic in the #business of #opensource: building your #Linux career!

Folks, when we said this we didn't mean it was a challenge 😳
Software is made by people. Trashing software is trashing other people's work. It's fine to have negative opinions about a piece of software, but you can just not use it instead of trying to publicly shame it.
