@nat @skyfaller This may not be the case now, but for a while the Inky was publishing a lot of work that PA Spotlight was doing. At one point I was subscribed to the Inky and also donating to PA Spotlight, but after a while the editorials of the Inky pissed me off enough where I stopped subscribing. I still donate to PA Spotlight.
@nedbat @sc68cal - yes, but in this context, a useful CI/CD for database migrations is one where you have tests that check certain things, and catch mistakes. A CI/CD pipeline that just posts a passive-aggressive message and forces someone to reply "i've read the docs" does not catch any real errors. It just acts as a speedbump.
@nedbat and if they keep doing the wrong thing after I warned them to stop, it's time to get management involved.
@nedbat writing a CI/CD pipeline that nags people to read and acknowledge documentation is far more work than me talking to someone and telling them to be more careful.
@nedbat if your team is not reading documentation about database migrations, that's a people problem not a CI/CD problem.
@nedbat so you don't really want contributions. I mean if you're going to go to those lengths to make someone say "I know what I'm doing" just don't accept PRs.
Remember when Freenode took over channels that had Libera in the topic?

Musk is doing the exact same thing. I hope Twitter dies like Freenode did.
New Twitter policy dropped. In addition to blocking links to mastodon, you now cannot set your profile data to mention mastodon.
There are a lot of tools out there that helped the migration to mastodon by scanning your follows and looking for data in bios to help migrate your follows over to mastodon. The one I used is called debirdify and it was super important to getting me started here.

@nat glad I set my profile name there a couple weeks ago. I wonder if they're going to go back through and ban accounts? Or just block changes
Twitter is now going to punish people for linking to their other social media platforms like Mastodon.đź’€
This is the final nail in the tiny bird shaped coffin for me. I'll be completely shifting focus to posting here instead, on a platform that isn't rotting from the inside out.
no URLs. no usernames without the URL. no bypassing restrictions on URLs (like writing example dot com). no posting images with usernames in them.
free speech!
Python 3.11 gets released with huge performance increases, and all everyone does is shit talk Python on HN and in direct replies to the PyPI tweet. What the FUCK..
I hate the people in my industry.

Trump getting his supporters all hyped for his big announcement and it turns out to be an NFT is incredibly funny. Best joke of the year, by far.
@inkypitchbot the article title made sense but the proposed author broke the illusion
