If Pavel Durov’s talk at the Oslo Freedom Forum resonated with you, listen to my brave friend Luaty Beirão’s as well. Pavel built a platform to protect free speech and Luaty risked his freedom and life to exercise it youtu.be/79HMAQP04Cc?si=KJFz…

Yes, @github is down. Make a cup of tea, relax.

In UI/UX, these three lines have become a standard and got it’s own name “the hamburger button” for about two decades now. Gained its own wiki page. Amazon iOS app, uses the icon for a “your shortcuts” page. Given muscle memory, is this some sort of strategic mind trick?

The @Cloudflare outages are less cringe than these "first day" joke copy-and-paste epidemic!

It’s crazy to believe in a future where AI replace people, lives in the cloud but humans must commute, pay city rents, and eat $20 sad avocado salads? H-1B visa isn’t the problem. Decentralize, hire remote!

Ton Roosendaal stepping down as @Blender CEO. What a legend! Let me share a little story... In the early 2000s, everyone was on 3ds Max, mostly pirated. I chose Blender because it had something unique, a nice story and open source. I bought "The Official Blender 2.3 Guide" and learned it on a CRT, mechanical and mouse computer. I used to hang out in the Blender IRC channel and learned a lot there. I even remember helping the Blender community sponsor a graphics video card for someone in Cuba? I wonder what happened to that person... The open movies were a great inspiration; I could only dream of being part of something like that! Back then, there was this famous 3d animation course called "Animation Mentor", but it was unaffordable to my Portuguese pocket. They had the course outline, which I copied and followed to learn on my own; I also had the animator's survival kit book. In Portugal, Blender was a big NO. The few 3d artists I met back then didn't take it seriously! It seemed impossible to secure an opportunity, so I decided to keep going on my own without considering it professionally... Many years later (2009), as a LAMP developer (at the time) and not really doing any 3d work for some years, I worked on a music video for my sister @elizabet_dev at Universal Music Records. From what I could tell, I was creating the first 3D animation music video done using open-source software only. At least back in Portugal? It took me around 4 months of work on my spare time, dedicating late nights to it, as I had a full-time job during the day. I did the concept, modelling, rigging, lighting, animation, node composition, editing, and rendering (on a render farm called Respower that had a special promotion that was cheaper for Blender users). The animation was done on a 340 Euros computer running @ubuntu linux, and I was also the music producer, producing on that same machine, imagine... I was so broke (still), I couldn't afford a proper external hard drive. I used several recycled parts from old PCs, and had to do the freezer trick, literally leaving the HDD in the freezer for a few minutes to recover data. I've been a software developer for almost 20 years and not on an "artistic journey", but met people in London in VFX/3d who won awards in Hollywood! But even though that's crazy, for me, what Ton Roosendaal and the Blender Foundation achieved was much greater! Ton Rosendaal empowered dreamers who couldn't afford 3D software to express themselves creatively with the best tool and UX ever! Ton's the best!

Hey @XDevelopers, check the live player JavaScript Infinity:NaN:NaN. Just noticed while watching @croloris

Hi, Streaming...I've got Led Zeppelin, etc... I find that the library on LastFm is very big, specially if... fw.to/2FzEhKF
