Hmm... even after 15 years, my brain still expects it to be an auto-tiler with fibonacci stacks. Why would you want anything different on a 16:9 display?

GitHub - nikitabobko/AeroSpace: AeroSpace is an i3-like tiling window manager for macOS AeroSpace is an i3-like tiling window manager for macOS - nikitabobko/AeroSpace

I'm trying out github.com/nikitabobko/...
I used DWM on Linux and have been managing with Rectangle on macOS for years now. It looks like this project's philosophy resonate and it doesn't require disabling SIP.

The very first of The Consensus Standard just went out. This is a monthly newsletter for folks subscribing at the Standard Subscription tier.

A collection of 1) articles written for The Consensus, 2) interesting jobs, 3) funding announcements, and 4) external articles I enjoyed.

They've essentially killed @heroku.com. If Rails developers want something better, seriously check out @hatchbox.io. It's honestly amazing, and Chris is a super-nice guy. I use it for @pagecord.com and couldn't be happier.

DHS Hunts Down 67-Year-Old U.S. Citizen Who Criticized Them in Email The Department of Homeland Security is using a little-known tool to go after its critics.

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

Accountability for ICE and CBP However bad you think the corruption and misconduct at ICE and CBP is β€” the reality is far far worse.

"Criminality is so rampant inside CBP that it has seen one of its own agents or officers arrested every 24 to 36 hours since 2005."

"it appears the crime rate of CBP agents and offices was higher PER CAPITA than the crime rate of undocumented immigrants." www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/accountabi...

This is how far you have to scroll on the NYTimes homepage to get any coverage of what's going on day-to-day in an occupied American city where schools are closing because the government is checking the papers of all brown or Asian people then brutalizing, imprisoning or killing them.

Open Source Organizations Join the conversation

We've heard people like Starter Packs, so we just begun putting one together for open source organizations. It could be an OSPO like us, a Foundation that supports projects and the ecosystem or accounts for OSS events.

Take a look and tell us who else should be there.

GitHub is now charging an additional $0.002/minute for self-hosted runners; that's price of an entire vCPU-minute from the third-party runner companies.

How does anyone use Cloudflare for production DNS without being able to delegate nameservers? Ubiquitous industry services (e.g. Google Cloud, Vercel) primarily work by delegating nameservers.

Microcenter also has changed over the years to be more of a build-a-pc store than anything else. It used to feel like OfficeMax with computer parts and now it feels like walking into a YouTuber set piece.
