The planets are just grains of sand in a vast empty space.

yes-as-a-service might be a compliance liability due to popularity with authoritarian leaders.

A few points I find interesting:

- in 2022 a decision was made to abolish leap seconds by 2035, by allowing UTC to drift from the time as defined by Earth's rotation (UT1)

- negative leap seconds, while established, were never actually used

- ice melting caused by climate change has a slowing down effect on rotation of the planet, delaying a need for a negative leap second until 2029, otherwise forecasted in 2026

I've tried to use macOS with case sensitive filesystem for some time (before APFS). Works mostly fine but there're applications that break (Steam and Intellij IDEA are the two I remember).

I'm supper happy about Wire taking this step. Has someone done a security analysis/review of Wire yet? It would be interesting to read.

I'd be a fashion designer. Oftentimes I feel like software engineering doesn't give me an opportunity to fully realize my creative self. Mostly because of people, not because of technology. Creativity is not valued for its own sake in software development and you cannot just say "that's the way I see". I feel it narrows down my life perspective too much.

It seems to me like most of the problems of modern tech are related to quality yet everyone is rushing for new features and quantitative "improvements".

I cannot read a blog post without seeing who of my fiends is online. Now, this is progress!
