Hillary Monahan@hillarymonahan.bsky.social · 2mo agoNobody wants predictive data models to stop working for the people in medicine. Or translating ancient Pompeii texts. Or the other ways we were already using it. We want it to stop replacing workers, killing the environment, and stealing from artists. Hope that clarifies.
If there is one thing I miss from the past it is when search engines searched for the words you typed
Adding extra work on package maintainers' plates doesn't seem like a good way to encourage OSS devs to produce & maintain the great parts of the Flutter ecosystem.

Today is my last day at @shorebird.dev. I’ve had a great time working with the team and building some awesome tech but I’ve decided to move on to my next adventure. Don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere — I’ll still be active in the Flutter/Dart community 💙
I’m personally not a huge fan of Dart’s new dot shorthand syntax. It makes code harder to read, there’s no lint rule to standardize one way or the other, and it just adds more complexity to a language which I love for its simplicity.
Hey, folks! The Flutter team is doing a livestream next week, which will include a Q&A. Anything you'd like to ask the engineering, DevRel, and product leads? Questions about the roadmap, new features, the craziest place they've seen someone get Flutter running, all of these are valid topics. 😀

The language of non-consent around AI is really telling. "It's too late to be scared." "It's here whether we want it or not." "You'll have to learn to work with it." "You can't fight the inevitable." All just variations of "you're not allowed to say no." Creepy technology made by creepy people.
