Fediverse
A page to give you an idea what our Fediverse posting and curation is like. Visit our tools and resources page to see many of the items we will cover.
This page is a bit of a hack now, but eventually (it better) Ghost will have this functionality available natively. Its content will then be up to date and more useful. But, for now just copy and paste @thefulcrum@thefulcrum.dev into your Fediverse client of choice and give us a follow. ;)

IEEE Spectrum@ieeespectrum@mastodon.socialFramework, a small laptop maker focused on repairability, just released a new module that upgrades its existing laptops' GPU. The new module slots right into the Framework 16’s existing graphics bay, connects to the same custom interposer, and is secured with the same screws.

Hard to get worked up at DHH and the Shopify guy and the Tailwind guy being outed to larger audiences as assholes and cool with racism and facism because they have always been that way and tech bro culture rewarded them for it with heaps of cash and influence.
The best way to deal with it is to not use Rails, Shopify, or Tailwind in your own projects. If asked, just be honest and say you dislike their politics and prefer to not make them any more money or give them any more influence.

Each working piece is a counter-spell against “there is no alternative.
