Honestly, you could skip my whole long thread on this: the right move is for the clones to build off Stream. To collaborate with RH to coordinate how to build releases off stream. Anything less keeps the death spiral spinning.

Linux Distribution building is like trying to build a single perfect symmetrical spiders web With 3000 different spiders And the only tool available is a blowtorch

I got a message this morning from a high-up assuring me that if I hear the rumor that I've been laid off, I should not panic, because I have not, in fact, been. So, uh, thanks for that one, whoever.

So people in my feed are seriously saying they would not use a no-cost RHEL developer subscription because it comes from a service that for their taste is not Open Source enough, yet they have no issues using Github - a proprietary service brought to you by MSFT?

I guess this is enough of this, then. Find me at wherever https://t.co/nHFTPZSw6f says I am. Currently, https://t.co/Yb8uTBgNl1, but who knows where the future will go....

Also need to 3d print a case so it does not look exactly like a low-budget TV show bomb.

And won't be tripped by the pets because I can aim it at people-height. I do need to write something that determines the "ambient" distance automatically, rather than having hard-coded.

It has a field of view of about 18°, so I'm considering making a version that has 3 sensors pointed different ways, and replacing most of the IR motion detectors in the house. Faster to respond, more accurate, more precise (if you need that), and less family complaining (1/2)

Feeling pleased with myself: used a time-of-flight laser module ( https://t.co/xqmgwYyTrQ) and an ESP32 board to make a MQTT occupancy sensor for my desk. Unlike with a traditional motion sensor, won't turn the lights of because you've been sitting in a call too long.

The Adafruit VL53L4CX Time of Flight Sensor is another great Time of Flight distance sensor from ST in the VL5 series of chips, this one is great for long distances - it ...

End H1B visas and just let people move here and get citizenship.
@tim_maliyil @ZoeSchiffer I have a friend with H1-B and it's a whole different world. My friend doesn't have the luxury of jumping to another employer as that will trigger having to leave the country. My friend has been in The States for over a decade, and she is legally tied to the company.

Unless you operated large systems, itâs hard to appreciate both how they work, and how they break. Twitter wonât go down with a big b, and it wonât go down irreparable. Things will work fine for a while - thanks to no new deploys! Then, hereâs whatâs likely to happen (contâd):
Good to hear. Having no outages means there will never be outages, no new capacity issues, no new cascading failures, no bad pushes, nothing. We will freeze in time and my tweets will go into /dev/null. I wished I was smart enough to come up with this idea at work.

Take 2 on this: does anyone use an Actual Honest To Goodness Teleprompter for video calls? Like, this kind of thing? https://t.co/Ja0Z2VBvml What is your experience?
Does anyone make a computer monitor with a punch-through camera? Like on many cell phones, except near the center.

Nice to see @RedHat as the third biggest contributor to Mozilla. These are mostly commits by Martin and Jan that are working hard on Wayland and various hardware acceleration improvements on Linux.
Every year I share some charts like this and I talk a lot about who is doing what/where. I never share one for Mozilla and I've seen a number of comments about that, so let me share one and then explain why I don't. @igalia was the #5 contributor to moz with ~4.71% of commits /
