Spent a bit of time fighting dracut. Tomorrow I'll do the same but actually RTFM, which will hopefully help.

Wondering why Pollito has been so quiet lately? Sadly, his reckless lifestyle of collecting DebConf name badges have been catching up with him. I can't say that I can't relate.

You can see a white house wall on which "if you don't like graffiti then just look away like you do for human suffering......" is written in green.

"spherical bastard"

Screenshot of a post from Bluesky, posted by Fiona Tribe, @fionatribe.bsky.social Yes, Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky coined the term "dark matter" which is impressive, but he also coined the term "spherical bastard" to describe people who are bastards no matter which way you look at them, and I think that should be celebrated more.

This is your reminder that the heart of the Fedi isn't one person. It's all the people who BOOST the posts they think are important.

There's no algorithm here to tell you which posts you should be paying attention to. That's YOUR JOB. So BOOST the things you love. BOOST the things you think are important. And BOOST the posts that make your heart laugh.

The Fediverse needs YOU to BOOST.

If anyone is wondering how well ‘AI’ in hiring is going:

My partner just tried putting her CV through some ATS checkers that use LLMs. Her name can be turned into a male name by deleting one letter. Doing so caused her score to jump 10 points.

Anyone using these tools for hiring is going to have some massive discrimination lawsuits in their future.

@wesdym Absolutely, we are all walking bags of compost in training.
