Ruby Central meeting with RubyGems maintainers [unedited] YouTube video by Joel Drapper

I’ve posted the full unedited Zoom recording of the meeting between Ruby Central and RubyGems maintainers that took place on 17 September 2025, *before* the takeover. youtu.be/FjQKOIf8_Wg

thank you for posting this image so I didn’t have to search for it

well the world should knock that off!

yes, that is why I am pre-upset about the idea of everything getting 10x less reliable

reliability depends on every layer working correctly at the same time, I think we are gonna have worse software than we ever have before, which is really saying something 😭

we have this same problem in SF and it has been stopping small-ish buildings for decades 😭

if you're in san francisco early for GDC, saturday and sunday will be the last two days of this interactive art showcase!

pink bubble letters spelling out "bubble sort studios" and a black circle with lime green and aqua outlines, with the letters GDOC inside the circle. more monospaced text spells out games showcase wednesday, march 11 2pm - 7pm 78 gough st, sf

excited to showcase some cool games by game devs of color in collaboration with @gdocexpo.com next wednesday!

I have also done both expeditions, having a group to play with sometimes and talk with even when solo has made it way more sticky for me

worlds before last was in SF and it was way fun to attend (as a non-contender).

also long ago when I lived with @steveklabnik.com we played so, so much NetRunner.

a card from the netrunner-compatible releases by null signal games. the card is titled "retirement plan", and contains art of a partially-mechanical person with a technician behind them, looking with absolute horror at a corpse nearby. the coprse has the same facial features as the partially mechanical person. the flavor text on the card says "your terms of service have been extended."

nullsignal.games continues to knock it out of the park when they make new NetRunner cards

I have been listening to the EP on repeat 😭

after four months of private discussions, I have an update on the Bundler and RubyGems situation with Ruby Central: andre.arko.net/2026/03/03/fou…

thanks, I hate you all

if you still want one, DM me? the OLEDs are back in stock and I was thinking about upgrading

my bumper sticker is raising some questions already answered by my (other) bumper sticker

couples shirts idea:
panic! at the kernel
panic! at the gpu kernel

congrats, at this rate you will write more words than the human race has produced up to this point for your 44th story!

link between worlds is a good link to the past imo

The Cube Rule Identify your food based on the location of structural starch. Is a hot dog a sandwich? No, it's clearly a taco.

I will let my treatise speak for itself and then you can tag me with the follow-up questions cuberule.com

they should invent a cost of living that goes down

I know that github.com/bazel-contri... is actively working on using the rv binaries, although that doesn't include rv itself or the gem CLI tool management stuff

rvx installs and runs Rails in 8 seconds, vs. gem exec rails in 18 seconds.

john how many split mechanical keyboards do you want to borrow to test

OH so like a functional programmer to not have class consciousness

who called them persistent data structures and not cow tools

I'm pretty sure they are abysmal even if you are professional, based on what I read in forums online

ohhhh this is such a good argument for turning off autofocus on my 56mm f/1.2 (I just checked and I apparently also have 6cm lol)
