somehow every time i get tempted to use bluesky more the moderators make some incredibly suspect decisions...
#youtube jacking up the price of premium and cranking the ads up to 11 has really done wonders for getting me to stop watching it on my phone

I was asked recently about the cost of running a #rustlang conference and why the ticket prices are what they are. We figured we can just publicly share the numbers for RustWeek, in the name of #transparency. :) 1/9

BREAKING: Senators Rick Scott and Elizabeth Warren have introduced a bill that would permanently ban former lawmakers from doing any form of lobbying. The bill would impose potential jail time and heavy fines for violators.
i wonder how reasonable it'd be for GH to make releases immutable after ~1 week? i feel like there's some kind of staged release mechanism that would be a lot better
begging people who design PCBs and put blue LEDs on them to pick out higher value resistors, ough my eyes.
i dunno man have we considered air filtration? the thing that can be installed cheaply and basically costs nothing to maintain and can be made easily ubiquitous? and filters viruses *and* pollution from the air? just a thought
