the lesson *I'm* choosing to take from xz, as an oss maintainer, is that anyone trying to pressure or guilt me into doing something should immediately be told no, for security reasons

You don't necessarily need to say "image of" in your alt text for users to know it's an image. Screen readers will announce that it's an image. But it can help readers to specify if it's a hand-drawn image, Polaroid, infographic, screenshot, chart, map, diagram, or so on.

Rust 2024 edition is about to drop! Here are some of the new features they’re adding to the standard library:
- std::ops::Yeet is becoming stable! A better name could not be invented so we will be staying with Yeet.
- serde has become std::serde
- std::collections::Aquarium, a collection for holding multiple generic types. (It’s called Aquarium because it holds all your ::<>’s)
I'm going to continue building my website/blog today, but I feel there must be a better verb for it than building
We used to surf the web (complimentary), now we just search it (derogatory)
Do you Spin a WEBsite? is this anything? idk

I accidentally found a security issue while benchmarking postgres changes.
If you run debian testing, unstable or some other more "bleeding edge" distribution, I strongly recommend upgrading ASAP.

by age 30 you should have spent years contributing to an open source project in your free time, building trust and becoming a maintainer, and then have skilfully inserted a highly obfuscated backdoor that successfully made its way into multiple linux distributions

Whenever you feel like saying "dude", just say "gamer".
"Gamer" is....
1) Gender neutral: Everyone can be a gamer
2) Guaranteed to piss somebody off because not everybody identifies as "gamer", but they can't give you any real flak for it because see point number one.

In Gaza, every person, the first thing they want to tell me in English or Arabic is 'We need food.' They are saying that because their assumption is the world doesn’t know, because how would this be allowed to happen if the world knew? ~ UNICEF spokesperson James Elder
