@rburns @Microinteracti1 It's public everywhere. Only blind will not see.

@5katkov @Microinteracti1 Have you?

Britain is 6% Muslim. Germany 5%. France 10%. Sweden 9%. Belgium 7%. At this rate of Islamic conquest, Europe will be majority Muslim sometime around the year 2847. I’d pencil in some mild concern for around 2600 and see how things look then. Now. The refugees. Since someone asked who’s paying for all this. Let’s follow the money back a bit further. America invaded Afghanistan, spent 20 years there achieving absolutely nothing, then left in such breathtaking chaos that people were literally hanging off aircraft. It then invaded Iraq over weapons that turned out not to exist, killed somewhere between 150,000 and a million people, and converted a functioning country into a sectarian hellscape. This is before we even get to the drones over Yemen, Somalia and Pakistan. The people washing up on European shores are, in very large part, the direct human wreckage of American foreign policy. America created the disaster. Europe is housing the survivors. And America is on the internet asking why Europe keeps letting people in. Remarkable cheek, really. As for eliminating indigenous culture: the United States actually eliminated its indigenous people. Deliberately. With rifles and government paperwork. Europe took in Syrian doctors. These are not comparable situations, and pretending they are requires a truly heroic indifference to history. The culture is fine. France still has the cheese. The Louvre is still there. Bach is still there. Nothing has been eliminated except, apparently, the ability to read a percentage.

@PatrickSchlter7 @Moonlight_myths It's because french women like to get around :)

@Moonlight_myths That's why paternity tests are illegal in France. Only a judge can order one made.

My husband decided to get a secret DNA test to see if our youngest daughter was actually his. He didn't ask me anything, never even hinted that he had doubts, and didn't give me a chance to explain anything. He just went ahead and did it on his own, then came to tell me about it later like everything could just be fixed with a quick conversation. We've been married for twelve years. We have two kids: our oldest is a ten-year-old boy and our youngest is an eight-year-old girl. All these years, I always thought our life was pretty stable. That's why this all feels even more absurd to me. According to him, the idea started getting into his head a few months ago. It all started with comments other people made about our daughter's looks. A coworker of his told him one day that the girl didn't look much like him. Then, at a Sunday dinner, a cousin of his made a similar comment. Things

A quick update on the infamous EU “ChatControl” 🇪🇺 What a turn of events in EU tech policy: from potential mandatory mass scanning of data (“ChatControl”) → to even voluntary scans losing their legal basis (for now). Just months ago, fears were growing around mandatory scanning of private communications in the EU (incl. pictures and videos). Now, talks between the EU Council (Member States) and the European Parliament have collapsed - and the result is a complete reversal. As of April 3, even voluntary scanning of data by platforms loses its legal basis under EU privacy (ePrivacy & GDPR) rules, as the temporary exemption was not extended. A striking example of how fast EU tech policy can turn - and a big win for European privacy advocates.

@paolino @GregMolnar I didn't knew that you are into funk :) /i need to hunt you down on a ruby conference and become a friends!

Ruby developers are shipping their docs on VitePress, a JavaScript static site generator. Because nothing in the Jekyll ecosystem looked as good. So I made Jekyll VitePress Theme. Same UX, pure Jekyll. 1.0 is out today. paolino.me/ruby-deserves-…

@tdinh_me I had to wait six months to be able to pay a salary, because tax ID takes that much time to arrange in the Netherlands :(

That's wild. 3+ months and still waiting for VAT ID. Is this normal in Germany? 😳

@Bint_e_Q @RosenvoldGeo Those subsidies are given to all new joiners, but somehow only poldn came out on top. So, don't overestimate role of those money.

@RosenvoldGeo Exactly. Poland’s so-called “miracle” isn’t purely domestic brilliance it’s the EU subsidy engine at work. Meanwhile, their migration headaches are largely a byproduct of U.S. interventions abroad. Hardly a story of self-made success.

Shit like this infuriates me. 1) Poland’s economic miracle was largely thanks to joining the EU and enjoying massive EU investments. In fact this was the main project for the EU for the past 20 years and a big reason why we didn’t spend as much on defense and tech. 2) They only needed a restrictive migration policy because the US triggered enormous refugee waves by bombing one country after another in the Middle East.

@vladsazonau @GergelyOrosz Yeah, I don't have problems with generating invoices, I have problems with how gumroad generates invoices.

@5katkov @GergelyOrosz Try easyinvoicepdf.com 😏

Andrej Karpathy just dropped a project scoring every job in America on how likely an AI will replace it from 0-10 > Scraped all 342 occupations from the Bureau of Labor > Fed each one to an LLM with a detailed scoring rubric > Built an interactive treemap where rectangle size = number of jobs and color = how exposed that job is to AI The key signal in his scoring: if the work product is fundamentally digital and the job can be done entirely from a home office, exposure is inherently high. The scale: 0-1: Roofers, janitors 4-5: Nurses, retail, physicians 8-9: Software devs, paralegals, data analysts 10: Medical transcriptionists Average across all 342 occupations: 5.3/10. The entire pipeline is open source. BLS scraping, LLM scoring, the visualization. All of it. Much respect for the sensei this is scary and awesome

@jankeesvw I'm pretty sure, that it will drift with these limits.

Opus now defaults to 1M context · 5x more room, same pricing. This truly sounds amazing.

Psss... Don't tell my wife, but I got her a surprise present.

@mdubakov @FiberyHQ I can draw a system diagram, sync all issues from 4 different GitHub repo's (private and public), write a public release link to all tasks/pullrequesrs, keep tax timesheet linked to GitHub pull requests.. And I just messed around for an hour with the entire thing.

@5katkov @FiberyHQ why? :)

As a person who was genuinely annoyed by all project management software, now I'm sitting here really impressed by @FiberyHQ.

@strzibnyj @serpapi Congrats!

It's official, I am joining @serpapi as their Ruby Developer Advocate 🥳

OpenCode automatically installs Ruby LSP when working with Ruby files. It shows "ruby-lsp" in the UI, but that is does not run ruby-lsp gem. It actually runs rubocop lsp. I did a bit of digging about why this is the case.

@TheDumbTechGuy Shit, so many years I've been doing this for free.

Want me to do 2 years?

@strzibnyj Congrats on a new job! Sounds like a decent place to work

@5katkov Nice Sherlock

I am joining a company which is a contributing member of the Rails Foundation, take a guess 🤔

@strzibnyj Hehe, but I did find the right answer :)

@strzibnyj AppSignal?
