love how every time I have to sign in to Google for whatever reason, I get a whole bunch of TFA flows that lead back to the same device I’m signing in on, followed by a deluge of notifications both on-device and via email about the ā€œSECURITY ALERT!!!!ā€ about me having signed in. really wish people would stop using google forms for every fucking thing

For all the push back I get in some corners, there are always organizers who are eager to learn to do better. Thrilled to receive an email last night from a fellow FOSS foundation leader and organizer who wants to step up Health and Safety for their community! Progress comes drop by drop until suddenly the dam bursts. Today I am full of hope ✨ #HealthAndSafety #PublicHealthPledge #OpenSource

I've just found in my notes app that I wanted to write A plea to SCA vendors but I've not written down what that plea is so now I'm annoyed at past me assuming future me would know šŸ˜…

Open source people: "We don't get any contributions from people who will help us with accessibility 😢 😢 😢 what do? " Also open source people: "We're using FuzzBingBang Style library so you never have to leave the DOM and or know CSS! also React, also, here is a really complicated state machine that controls way too much, also please make sure to weed through our types that look like ABSOLUTE GARGLED JIZZ we spit out into a file! Oh, were you looking for the HTML? HAHAHA what HTML!?"

It does not wish to be perceived, and tbh, can you blame it?

Attached: 1 image Okay but there’s a really useful lesson here about meeting your customers/users where they’re at. Food is meant to be eaten. And people might want to eat it in the *wrong* way. And the company that says ā€œwell, we should probably make it safe for them to do soā€ is going to have an advantage over the companies that insist people behave ā€œproperlyā€. Insert cyber analogy here.

The thing about Conehead’s manifesto is, before even getting to the arguments, the technology he wants everyone to be optimistic about is FUCKING APPS and SCAMS. He’s equating himself and his pals to the biggest paradigm shifts in history when what he means is a new way to make the internet shit

Earlier I was thinking about smaller companies that sell themselves to big ones, and how sometimes no one cares or even notices (e.g. 7digital) that they sold out, vs companies like Bandcamp or flickr where everyone freaks out. It’s a sign of how special the company is to the people who use it. If you’re starting a company, that should be your goal: to create something that would make people freak out and sad if you sold out. A business loved that much is an accomplishment that can’t be measured in $ I started SomaFM because I couldn’t find what I wanted to listen to on the radio. I wanted to create something i would love rather than simply found a startup to make a bunch of money. Creating/Doing something people care about is much better than ā€œincreasing shareholder valueā€.
