I'm relaying this message on behalf of a non-white friend for their safety:
@queergamesbundle chose a racist, enslavement-supporting poem by Walt Whitman to represent the QGB, and their responses to numerous callouts have been poor to doubling down.
They could have said "oh good point" and deleted the posts, quoted any number of poems that aren't a sexualization of enlaved Black folks by a notable racist (yes he was an abolitionist and not straight but that doesn't actually make the -

@Her_Doing @madgeface Respectfully, I totally disagree. I support @cwebber ‘s original post. JKR is not equal in power to any of us. She’s a behemoth of resources and tragically huge influence. This current sentiment is further contextualized by our larger systems choosing to protect her over, say, my trans child and other trans loved ones.
An “ill will” campaign does nothing to her but unites others who sit in the shared pain of her actions. Solidarity with everyone who wishes her power gone.

In 5 countries (Austria, Germany, Norway, Denmark, France) Schengen is effectively dead since 9 years in a row. These countries have filed (overlapping) exceptions with various reasons, meaning that they had continuous border controls on internal borders. Something that according to the Schengen Agreement should be a very rare exception in very exceptional times.

@Natanox @librecast @EU_Commission We're continuing to work on both research and practical deployments for multicast, funded by @nlnet and @NGIZero
We need to make some more noise about the work we're doing and make it easier for others to get involved. Was just discussing this with @onepict this morning 😉

Where did you hear this?
EUMetSat is very much committed to multicast for delivering weather data. I was discussing it only yesterday with the Chair of the MBONED working group.
The CTO of EUMetSat said in June this year that to use unicast CDNs would cost "an order of magnitude" more.
Multicast is very much alive and well, and deployments increasing as data flows increase.
Hiring a software engineer in their late 40s:
Pros:
* Understands your stack better than you do after glancing through the repo for five minutes.
* Will rewrite said stack 2x as fast, and half as buggy if you let them.
Cons:
* Gives zero fucks.
* Knows we're not *really* like family here.
* No, seriously, absolutely zero fucks given.
Do not cite the deep magic to me, product manager, I was there when it was written.
The things I learn, even at my age, simply by reading documentation are WILD!
