As you probably read a lot about decisions that you think are kind of shitty done because... shareholders, I'll just mention that Igalia has none, nor a CEO. We all receive equal pay. We are a co-op. And yes, we're hiring.

I've seen a lot of people asking "why does everyone think Twitter is doomed?" As an SRE and sysadmin with 10 years of industry experience, I wanted to write up a few scenarios that are real threats to the integrity of the bird site over the coming weeks.

#1 committers to Chromium after Google. #1 committers to WebKit after Apple. There is a lot of hard work, sometimes invisible hard work, of many people behind that.
Yay @igalia is #2 in non-google commits to chromium repo again in 2022 (from the #blinkon keynote)

Eli Lilly stock isn't just tanking because of a satirical Tweet on Musk's hellscape, it's tanking because millions of people are asking why we have to pay for insulin, when it was made to be free. That's why other insulin stocks are falling too. Happy Disability Awareness Month
