Hellloooo internet. I'm gonna try and be social again and emerge from my Long Covid break 👋 What good stuff is happening out there?
So I heard that github isn’t so keen on keeping sponsors around. I was gonna shout again for them to add support for Taiwan but I guess that’s never gonna happen. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Microsoft, laying off 3% of its global workforce: “We continue to implement organizational changes necessary to best position the company for success in a dynamic marketplace.” Do you need an MBA to learn to talk like this? To lose your empathy, your humanity? It seems so.
