Really mad about this Linux kernel - academic research kerfuffle. See: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-nfs/YH%2FfM%2FTsbmcZzwnX@kroah.com/

TL;DR: researchers at UMN introduced patches to Linux kernel that contained known-buggy code TO WRITE A PAPER and the UMN IRB didn't consider it human subjects research

Wtaf were these researchers thinking? How did the IRB not consider this human subjects resaerch? How did someone think this was an ethical thing to do?

@strypey Yeah, just more "be the change you want to see" stuff. You don’t think we try? We need energy for all that. And some of us don’t have time to be rejected again, and again, and again by big FOSS like Gnome, where all our accessibility issues go into a black hole, just like Google. And GTK4 doesn’t matter *that* much if gnome-shell is so crappy that you can't really use it as a desktop environment in the first place. Even long-time blind Linux users are considering just putting Android on their computers. That shows systemic failure that not even die-hard FOSS bros can't handle.

O FeedBurner ainda existe 🤯

O Google vai migrar o FeedBurner para uma nova infra e mantê-lo no ar 🤯🤯

Descobri um feed meu lá de 2005, redirecionado para o Manual em algum momento dos últimos anos, com centenas de usuários supostamente ativos 🤯🤯🤯🤯

Capitalismo de bosta não deixa as pessoas usarem computador pra fazer o que vem na telha

Em vez disso a gente tem uma casta superior de desenvolvedores que supostamente são os únicos capazes de fazer a nossa ~experiência de usuário~ e conjuram os aplicativos pra gente usar, todos bem empacotadinhos e a gente tem que esperar a boa vontade da gloriosa casta superior de desenvolvedores pra dar aquilo que a gente precisa por meio de aplicativos

Newsletters são legais, mas nem sempre é fácil encontrá-las. Para oxigenar ainda mais o espaço das newsletter, criei um negócio que há muito gostaria que existisse: um diretório de newsletters brasileiras. Acesse-o aqui:

O diretório é uma planilha. Isso significa que você pode reorganizar e filtrar os resultados de acordo com vários parâmetros — quer só newsletters semanais de jornalismo? Basta filtrar. Se você não manja planilhas, veja:
