@heydon my favourite thing about Tailwind is when they realised it doesn't scale, so they reinvented classes, but with a JS build step https://tailwindcss.com/docs/reusing-styles#extracting-classes-with-apply
@clairegiordano giving her talk "What's in a Postgres major release? An analysis of contributions in the v17 timeframe" at #pgconfeu
#PostgreSQL
If as Chris Giles (FT) suggests, we need to match our aspirations for a European style welfare state, with European levels of taxation (higher for everyone, not just the wealthy as often now suggested), then we hit a major political problem.
If we demand more taxes before the public sector recovers from the Tory engineered crisis, we merely build up resentment at the mismatch between cost(s) & service.
Reeves' fiscal rules must allow sufficient investment to square that circle!
If you're attending @pgconfeu and you're either invested in the #PostgreSQL extension ecosystem, or you've always wanted to contribute to projects that extend Postgres' functionality but didn't know where to start: register for the free Extension Ecosystem Summit on the 22nd!

Weekend of running the UKs largest free-culture un-conference? Done.
A year of planning culminated in 200+ likeminded people, 40+ talks, an amazing crew, friends old and new and of course, Pete the disco pigeon!
Now time to hang up my organising hat and head home. Until next time!
That's a wrap for another year! Special thanks to crew, organisers and sponsors for helping make it happen. Keep following for updates on how OggCamp-next is shaping up! #oggcamp #overandout
“Gold! Yes, real gold.”
How Chris started off fusing glass and ended up designing a whole menagerie of light up creatures, including a lot of the technicalities because “also it is nice for stuff not to blow up”.

Can anyone recommend a *free* RSS to email newsletter service?
I have about 1,000 subscribers on JetPack and, due to the #WPDrama, I've removed the plugin.
I basically want to give a service an RSS feed & a list of email addresses, and have it deliver them an email whenever the RSS feed updates.
I'm currently considering https://follow.it and https://www.beehiiv.com/ - but any *personal* recommendations welcome.
@openrightsgroup thanks for being an important part of our event!
We are at #oggcamp2024 today in Manchester. If you are about, come along and say hello at our stall. You can join us at https://www.openrightsgroup.org/join/
Train departed on time, #oggcamp here we come. Time to tweak the talk a little and program some boards.
Thinking of submitting a talk at @oggcamp called *ask me anything about my (linux) @frameworkcomputer "
Anyone be interested?
Are you going to #oggcamp ? We are.
If you’re a listener, come and get a little sticker from @marxjohnson @wimpy or @popey by uttering the magic phrase:
“Linux Matters is my favourite podcast”.
Easy!
One week until #OggCamp returns - things are getting exciting!

Ok, the hotel and travel for #OggCamp in Manchester next weekend are finally booked.
I look forward to some talks, chat, and maybe half a pint of beer.
