Hey Californians, let's get Approval Voting so we can elect candidates that actually represent us! Stop voting for the lesser evil! End the polarization that results from our lousy "first-past-the-post" voting system. Please take a moment to read this petition, and sign it if you like it! https://www.equal.vote/upgrade-ca-primaries?recruiter_id=294596

Are any #sandiego Mastodonians interested in a free 4-hour sail or #sailing lessons? I'm trying to log as many hours on the water as possible, so I can get a Merchant Mariner Credential (AKA "captain's license".)

😂 😭 "Ugly Gerry is a free font created with real US congressional districts. The name comes from gerrymandering, the process that made possible such weird shapes." https://fontsarena.com/ugly-gerry/

@var@mastodon.social why not both? It's decentralized AND the most popular instances are stages for CCP propaganda. My main account is in lemmy.ml, so I know what you mean, but I can still subscribe and view feeds from other servers, right?

What is the opposite of an intrusive thought - a good intrusive thought? I've decided to start paying attention to them:
- "Maybe I should raise my standing desk?"
- "I shouldn't eat that - I'm not really hungry."
- "I haven't thought about that person in a while, maybe I should call them to see how they're doing?"
I identify with a lot of the ADHD memes and content. I don't know if I have it, and I don't really care. I just want to be high functioning. Let the good intrusive thoughts in FTW!

LOL, they got a shot of me working hard at this #sandiego #remotework #meetup: https://www.10news.com/news/local-news/san-diego-news/san-diegans-work-remotely-at-pacific-beach-amid-winter-heatwave

Whenever I see something sharp on the ground where wheeled vehicles travel, I pick it up. It makes me feel good to know that I'm potentially preventing someone from having a flat tire. It's a small good deed. Well today, some careless bastard left a bunch of these in the street, and I picked them all up. Does this qualify me to be sainted?

Hey. You wanna donate some money to a good cause? You can reward yourself for being such a charitable person afterwards by getting a nice coffee! 😎

WTF, GitHub?!? Why do they ignore the org and repo? This is 100% a huge error on Github's part... We should definitely still be using pinned SHAs everywhere. https://www.vaines.org/posts/2026-03-24-the-comforting-lie-of-sha-pinning/

Tire shop workers have so much higher risk aversion than I do... You think those tires are bald? Come on, that's barely even receding hairline... I'll bring the car back when I see metal or a bubble.

(If I die in an accident because of worn tires, will someone please reply with a Simpsons Nelson "Ha ha!" picture?)

If I had to vote between Trump and Claude, I would pick Claude as the lesser evil.

Optimistically, I think it could do really great things, but I don't like that it's a centralized model controlled by a single entity.

Pessimistically, I think it's like bringing a nuke to a gunfight. Once it got a foothold in politics, I don't know if a regular human could ever beat it again, because it can spit out infinite pages of very convincing propaganda.

Interesting nonetheless.

I love #indie #videogames. These look amazing! https://youtu.be/Og6_t5eiz_s?si=UyCZFERvZx96ZpBl

TIL: If you have ingress-nginx set as your default IngressClass, it automatically "stamps" a `.spec.ingressClassName: nginx` on Ingresses that don't have `kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx` or `.spec.ingressClassName` set. But if you create an Ingress with one of those two settings, then remove the setting later, ingress-nginx will not "stamp" it, because it only does that when the Ingress is first created. Anyway, that was a weird bug that ate an hour of my life.

I gave a five-minute "Intro to the Fediverse" lightning talk at the UpSCALE event at the Southern California Linux Expo (SCaLE):

What a great conference! If you like open source, Linux, decentralization, and hacking, I highly recommend it!

See you next year, @socallinuxexpo@social.linux.pizza !
