Most organisation (in my country at least) have a written set of objectives and a legal structure which diffuses power. Any co-op, limited company, charitable association, etc can provide a good model - depending on the nature of the projec

I think you might have accidentally activated the page's "Drunk CSS" mode - https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2025/09/drunk-css/ Click one of the theme buttons at the top to restore normality.

Governance and succession are intimately tied. I feel that part of the problem with WordPress and Rails is that that there is no model for replacing poor governance.

I think you've read something into my post that I didn't intend. I'm specifically talking about the community of people who do contribute. If you look at the recent shenanigans of WordPress and Ruby, they are causing disco

> costs of fundraising How does a charity spend money unless people give it money? They need to fund raise. There's only so far you can get with volunteers shaking tins on streets. If a TV adverts costs £X but raises 2X, is that a s

"Overhead" is part of the work. It's like saying you want to look at the impact of your coding, rather than the overhead spent on documentation. An (effective) charity needs an accountant. It needs an HR team. It needs people

I tried it on a couple of posts and, I'm sorry to say, it was disappointing. Like most AI, all it can do is regurgitate what it has already seen. It gave some incredibly generic titles and descriptions which were only tangentially rela

You don't need the GitHub app for MFA. You can use any TOTP app - or a hardware token. Or both.

It depends on what you count as a success. The privatisation of BT meant that there was no specific monopoly on ISPs during the Internet boom. While the privatised BT had a monopoly on the wires - customers could choose from hundreds of d

It absolutely is their battle to fight. This organisation appears to be exploiting them and their data.

Android could have, for example, a 24 hour "cooling off" period for sideloading approval. Much like some bootloader unlocking - make it subject to a delay. That immediately takes the pressure off people who are being told that the

Why not list the salary up front? That reduces the number of people with wildly different remuneration expectations?

Your employer is legally obligated to provide you with an eye test - https://www.hse.gov.uk/msd/dse/eye-tests.htm I suggest starting with a visit to an optician and see what they say.

I've been looking for something like this for a while![1] How do you deal with spam? For example, Telegram has a "people near me" option which is full of drugs and sex-workers. Great if you like that sort of thing, but not ex

Funny, isn't it, that it is never a return to high unionisation of workers and strong social safety nets - it's always a return to when "those people" knew their place.

You draw the line at people supporting violent criminals who want an ethnostate. That seems like a pretty straightforward one - and one which DHH has crossed. If DHH wanted to argue about, say, different taxation strategies or deregulation

You have to believe people when they tell you who they are. Cloudflare have always been like this. They previously defended hate speech because it made them money. Some people are just nasty. They like to bully other people and now believe

It is ok to not use software by people you don't like. That's probably a large part of what drew people away from Microsoft, Oracle, etc. Just like boycotting your favourite chocolate company because they try to undermine breastfe

I think the author has done an excellent job at saying what the articles are actually about. If I write an essay called "I love cabbage" and then fill it with all the ways I hate cabbage, how would you link to it? It's OK t
