This story really got my blood boiling. hacks.mozilla.org/2020/10/to-ele… Their relatively small site took 10 minutes (!!) to build with Jekyll. They switched to 11ty, it took 3 seconds (!!). Well I just built it with @bridgetownrb, and it took…3 seconds. Here’s the proof! (thread 👇)

Welcome to Estonia, I registered for residency (and both "Estonian Tax Payer") status via email last year -- in fact I even remember sending the email from FOSDEM. 🤷 @_Phelan_ did it on the web b/c he's a big nerd (but also b/c now there's an English-speaking website for this)

but we couldn't get an appointment to register until after the brexit date. I was panicking, checking every day for cancelled appointments so we could get in earlier
Props to Dell Yount, who played B’Rat in a ep of ST:E, for updating his IMDB pic for the age of covid imdb.com/name/nm0950306/
🐦 Twitterverse! Can anyone recommend a high quality Japanese translation+subtitling service for our @RustFest Global talks? We will have 3 (pre-recorded) Japanese talks & want to have great (non-machine-translated) English subtitles for the rest of our audience. RT me maybe? 🤙
Did you know that you can submit to our CfP in your native language? We will organize translation so that your talk is accessible to others by English subtitles. We would...
This whole goddamned thread, read it, top to bottom.
I want to share an email thread I got today because I think we can learn something from it. I'll keep the persons details private of course. Also keep in mind there can b...

Season 3 of ST:E and I dislike Phlox’s new makeup, T’Pol’s new hair and the whole fucking Xindi thing .
I can’t believe it, but I may actually be ordering the “large” iPhone for the first time ever. I’m a sucker for the best camera. I think all of my time with photographers has broken my brain!

“Apple had been hiring top hackers for years, including several who used to hack for spy agencies in the US, UK, France, and other countries.”

I frequently think and observe (possibly with a level of envy?) at the cohesiveness of the platform (in most cases) in the Apple ecosystem. There’s some work right now in the FreeDesktop-land world that’s getting closer to this with the growth of Wayland - I remember reading something on the KDE planet about how it can be used with things like systemd to help make running graphical applications more secure (cgroups, restrictions, etc).

I really do hope that more work in the open space is being invested - we’re getting closer and closer to complete and absolute vendor lock-in with a lot of things and when things smack the world more, we’ll need some sort of an option. Neither Google, Microsoft or Apple can explicitly provide this (they’ve helped erect this new landscape for profit.

Actually the Lincoln Project made it possible to stand against Trump in the arena of ideas without swearing allegiance to the Democratic Party. Their ads have been amazing and hugely memorable. I'm afraid I can't recall more than a couple ads produced by Dems themselves. twitter.com/sawyerhackett/…
The Lincoln Project has been a giant grift and image rehabilitation for GOP consultants responsible for all the terrible shit that happened pre-Trump. Their trolling ads...
