β’ The number of UK Billionaires has grown by 490% under the Tories.
β’ People using food banks has grown by 5,852% under the Tories.
I believe a wealth tax could fix this.

Iβm thinking about The Mythical Man-Monthβs famous point, that adding engineers to a late software project makes it later, because
- it adds communication overhead
- some projects have durations that are inelastic because they are not parallelizable

The one wrinkle which does irritate me a little right now is that I have to unplug/replug my yubikey after logging in, or else the dev nodes aren't the right permissions - bit odd that.

Another week, another few examples of "oh nixos is lovely" and no major "ARGH"s. My polybar config was a bit messed up but that was my fault, so all in all #nixos is proving itself to be a very competent replacement for Debian on my desktop.

I think it's time for us in the tech world to speak out and make it clear the emperor has no clothes here. Cryptocurrency is sustained by a mix of money laundering, vaporware, fraud, ransomware, gambling, and delusion. It has no social benefit except helping end first dates fast

Rare to find unanimity in this space - but pleasing to see that even LGBA now publicly accepts it's an anti-trans group.

"You know my methods, dear Watson," said Holmes. "Tell me what you can deduce about the two women on the other side of the street."
"They are of similar age, and walk arm in arm, so they are good friends."
"Very good." Holmes extended his arm. "Shall we?"
I took his arm. "Yes."

Today the LGB Alliance is holding a conference in a government-owned building.β At GAY TIMES, we would like to make our position clear in regard to the LGB Alliance and its toxic stance.
Put simply, there is no queer community without trans people instagram.com/p/CVSts2lNFvg/

Hey @grhmc - are there any good books on/around Nix/NixOS which a colleague could buy to learn more?

No git commit message ever:
βͺοΈ"made worse"
βͺοΈ"broke"
βͺοΈ"stopped it from working"
So "improvement", "fix" and "made it work" do not suffice as git commit messages either.

I decided to move my /boot around, rebuilt my nixos config, rebooted, and was strangely disappointed that nothing went wrong.

Sadly due to lack of sales the behind the scenes volumes of Myth Makers documentaries will likely be discontinued. The Tom Baker volume has only received 200 orders, a far cry from the 1,000 sales needed to make it viable. If you want more, buy. timetraveltv.com/search

I get told frequently by Conservative MPs that the public arenβt bothered about private companies running NHS services and making a profit.
I donβt think this is correct. If you would like profit-making to be removed from the NHS, pls RT.
Letβs see!

As our taxes go up it would be awful to remind @BorisJohnson of how much extra money he said Brexit would leave us with. So please donβt retweet this.
