Slack notifications about dependabot PRs (sadly doubled because the team is in Codeowners and gets expanded to individual `@`s). The crossed out ones are autoapproved and automerged without our intervention :) Thinking of writing an article on that workflow cuz it's pretty sweet

I've been expecting this for years. I'd argue that this can actually help innovation, since there will now be an actual process on how to resolve such cases without dumping all responsibility to the driver, and is not at risk of immediate shutdown with one bad court case

Does the GitOps Emperor Have No Clothes? - The New Stack - thenewstack.io/does-the-gito… This is a pretty interesting take on some of the challenges of the GitOps world which neatly captures a lot of the things that looked iffy to me as well, while illuminating quite a few more

Does the GitOps Emperor Have No Clothes?

We like to think the git config repository is equivalent to how things change, but in reality, there is a gap between these static definitions and what actually happens.

Playbook going forward: 1. DO NOT ENGAGE WITH THESE ACCOUNTS AT ALL - Twitter LOVES engagement when you clap back at trolls in comments 2. Report abuse to @TwitterSafety with additional context: “Twitter Safety is failing to protect women from harassment” 3. DM me your report ID

Replying to @seawatch_intl @Frontex @EFCA_EU @EMSA_EU
What we witness here is @Frontex - and other European actors - systematically building up & even training a fleet that actively refuses sea rescue in the #Mediterranean. The European isolation policy is becoming more & more macabre. Instead of saving lives, the dying continues.
