How to Kill a Decentralised Network (such as the Fediverse)

Great read, warnings like this should be added to the conversation as long as federation with Meta is brought up. Especially for non-technical users or new users who haven't seen embrace, extend, extinguish before we will need some way to let them know what is on the other end of federating with large companies.

Sadly that's exactly who Meta wants, is people who don't care about the underlying system and they I'm sure will spend much more convincing those users that federation with Meta is a good thing.

New ranking says Toronto has fallen from its former tech hub glory

Definitely feels like a downturn but I can't help but wonder why they point to office space as such a large concern. Unless there was major offshoring going on however that was left out of the article it seems.

T.O. added 63,800 tech talent jobs between 2017 and 2022 — the second-most of any city in the continent, after only San Francisco — but our massive glut of empty office space post-lockdown has been a cause for concern.

For experienced devs, were you put on PIP early in your career? How did you bounce back from it to stay in the industry?

I recently came out of a pre-PiP. It took some work but most of the heavy lifting was just listening to and actioning on advice. It was also a culture that used this quite frequently for course correction and usually tries to avoid PIP'ing when possible.

That said once on a PIP the advice even at that company was to look elsewhere generally. I currently have 3 YOE if that helps, and the pre-PIP was fairly early in my on-boarding.

r/Piracy probably needs a rethink

I think r/privacyguides handled this well by starting their own instance. The idea of sitting on a magazine/community name doesn't make much sense when you can simply roll your own instance.

I for one don't mind a change in management as I go between different instances anyhow. It's not like Reddit was known for having the best mods in every sub.
