    I don't want to be on any of Elon Musk's platforms if I can avoid it. So, I'm not going to use Twitter anymore. Twitter friends, please reach out to me by email.

    This is true for white-collar workers too. Even in tech, employers are aware of this and use it to force the talent to stay with them at a low-cost, blocking the employee's career development. My biggest mistake when moving to NZ was choosing this kind of visa.

    Labour needs to stop employer bound work visas if it’s serious about ending migrant exploitation, rather than stacking more ambulances at the bottom of the cliff. Employer bound visas create modern slavery conditions, and give employers massive amounts of power over migrants.

    Linux is great. But as someone moving to Apple ecosystem after using Linux on everything for 10+ years, developing on a Mac is surprisingly pleasant. I do think the desktop is much more polished than any Linux DE, and every language I tried works fine (admittedly they have to).

    Linux is best for dev. The Macbook is just hype and status branding with a lot of problems. Sad to see so many programmers waste time and money on Apple.

    I worked on this! It was so much fun to implement. @FFmpeg’s filtergraph language is one of the most powerful DSL’s I’ve ever worked with, and also very pleasant to use. Such a great tool.
