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.
I guess this is enough of this, then. Find me at wherever mattdm.org/ says I am. Currently, fosstodon.org/@mattdm, but who knows where the future will go....
Feeling pleased with myself: used a time-of-flight laser module (adafruit.com/product/5425) 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.
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.

i’m in a code review with elon musk. ive got the CSS for neopets.com on 3 monitors. my browser’s in dark mode so it looks cool. “this part?” he asks, pointing to code for the Giant Omelette. “caches tweets in the mainframe cyberhex,” i say. he nods. “as i suspected”

For everybody that keeps asking where to find me if this account goes away, don’t worry. I’ve made something called… a website.
End H1B visas and just let people move here and get citizenship.

Unless you operated large systems, it’s hard to appreciate both how they work, and how they break.
Twitter won’t go down with a big b, and it won’t go down irreparable.
Things will work fine for a while - thanks to no new deploys! Then, here’s what’s likely to happen (cont’d):

It's time for a thread on why Twitter hasn't gone down yet 🧵
ALT Mocking Spongebob meme If all these people were important, why hasn't Twitter gone down?
Take 2 on this: does anyone use an Actual Honest To Goodness Teleprompter for video calls? Like, this kind of thing? bhphotovideo.com/c/products/… What is your experience?

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 /
