cc #sqlfamily this looks interesting!
we have an idea for communities in the app that we're calling "spaces" — places where people can gather around shared interests or social groups.
here's a peek at some early prototypes. these are explorations, not polished or final.
looking for feedback, esp from community builders 👀

the bsky team is working on various ideas for creating smaller social spaces in the app.
which use case is most interesting to you?
1. posting into "topics" that organize public posts
2. posting into "communities" or "groups" that can be public or private
3. posting directly to your followers only

This is stupid. What if I want to replicate only specific tables between two Azure SQL Databases? From now on we can't no more?

I think that many of the #SQLFamily from outside of America are looking elsewhere. It isn’t safe or even possible for many of them to engage in the United States now.
I’m sure that the “double whammy” is killing the Summit which in turn is trimming down engagement everywhere online.

I give workshops in git/version control.
I now have a merge conflict.
With myself.
On the same branch.
In the same session of work.
I think a commit I amended and pushed to origin was seen as a seperate commit that was pushed to origin, while the rest "stayed behind" on local?
🥲

Proper update you can all find on linkedin, but the tl;dr : the toilet situation is still unclear, and I'm open for some DEI consulting during SQLbits, in exchange for donations to causes helping transgender people. Feel free to send me a message if you want to set something up. #SQLfamily
I'm glad i forgot to update here that Simon from @sqlbits.bsky.social told me that they would have unisex toilets , cause at 11:30pm Friday i got an email that they don't. In the wrong email chain. From the general contact-us email without a name signing off.
I am sad and disappointed I had to post this today, #SQLfamily... Please read, please share <3
TL;DR @sqlbits.bsky.social say they are all for diversity, but if they have to actually DO or say something to make sure trans attendees and speakers feel safe at their conference, they... don't.
