NEW EPISODE:
"Killed by a Traffic Engineer"
In his new book, Wes Marshall argues that his fellow traffic engineers need to do some deep soul searching about the rules they follow so that they no longer design a system that kills tens of thousands of people per year.

In the span of two weeks, box truck drivers making right turns across separated bike lanes in #CambridgeMA have killed two people. Safety advocates will host a vigil on the steps of City Hall this afternoon to demand safer streets:
🧵 In 2020, I nearly died from mysterious industrial chemical exposure at my apartment. Later, in 2023, I discovered my employer was dumping toxic waste into the apartment windows from their Skunkworks semiconductor fab next-door. I tipped off the US EPA, who sent their env cops to raid Apple's plant in Aug of 2023. The US EPA finally released the report of their enforcement inspections & sent me a copy on Friday. 💀 ⬇️
It has been three years, as I am trying to communicate this message to people:
----------------
#RHEL 8.5 is a branch.
#AlmaLinux 8.5 (and #CentOS 8.5, Rocky 8.5, Oracle 8.5...) is a tag.
----------------
I am glad Alma wrote it explicitly on https://wiki.almalinux.org/release-notes/ that "Release of new 8.x version ends support for the previous version."
I am sad that people don't read and internalize it.

Wilcox had no presentation to give; instead, he put up an editor window containing a new documentation file for page flags, then told the audience "shout at me, I'll write it down".
A true hero of our time.
