Very excited to announce that @lornajane and I are running a new @openuk Meetup that's digital-only, alongside the other great events being run by the #OpenUK organisation.

Our first event will be a tie-in with #GitHub's #MaintainerMonth and we'll be hearing from a number of excellent maintainers from a variety of projects - stay tuned for more details.

Looking forward to seeing some of y'all on May 22nd at 1200 noon (UK time) for an interesting webinar!

(This will be in addition to other OpenUK events still being hybrid where possible)

GitHub relaxing the requirement of the construction of the GitHub App's JWT (under private_key_jwt) is interesting, especially if now you don't need to know the installation ID to auth.

Presumably this also means that on GitHub's side they're still limiting access to repos that an installation has access to, but I'd have assumed that by doing it by installation ID you'd get additional checks

(I'd been lazy in the past and would rarely persist the installation ID, needing me to then go in and find it through the GitHub UI 😅)

The question of whether CSS is a programming language serves only one purpose: to demote those who write it. There is no confusion that needs to be clarified, and no other purpose in asking, beyond the most trivial kind of pedantry. The debate itself is an act of gatekeeping, whether intentional or not. Its only significant effect is to elevate some work over other work, despite their essentially identical nature. The only meaningful function of the question is segregation. #css

Trying to take an existing project and convert it to Gradle? Trying to add things to an existing Gradle project?

Remarkably consistent pattern as to who still masks, at least in the anglo countries I've been in over the last two years: Mostly people of color, older folks, and when it's young white people usually disability is involved. Common thread, I suspect, is that these are the folks who stand to lose more if they get sick. I would that there were a greater showing of solidarity, but rugged individualism and all that 🤷🏻
