over the last year I’ve come to hate nearly everything about tech- the insipid culture, the lack of diversity of thought, the endless sycophants worshipping vapid thought leaders why did the computer industry become this ugly thing???

I don’t agree with everything in this post by M.G. Siegler (found via @rcrackley) but I do love the “Mastodon brought a protocol to a product fight” line. Of course, the protocol is plumbing. Like the IndieWeb specs, the protocol is implementing a philosophy, and that matters.

ADHD feels like constantly begging people to give you the benefit of the doubt that you are not, in fact, pissing them off on purpose

“Jeez, why do you always get so defensive?” idk, it’s almost like spending my formative years being criticized for things i didn’t do on purpose taught me to reflexively stand up for myself (since no one else ever did)

The BBC lost the broadcast rights to Monty Python to the Monty Python group in a court case in 1976 and they've since been sold by the members to various networks including UKTV & Netflix. But why let facts get in the way of your victim complex?

Netflix currently has the rights to Monty Python. I imagine John knows this given he would probably have received a residual cheque when the sale happened but then he couldn’t pretend to be a victim of a culture he is desperate to be cancelled from.

my favorite thing about #GlassOnion is how it uses the pandemic as a shorthand to illustrate the characters’ values. small things like the type of mask someone wears to how willing characters are to socially distance immediately shows how much they care about others

Twitter is a micro-blogging platform that includes: - Content authoring - Content consumption - Content hosting - Content aggregation Mastodon is mimicking that in a federated setup, but the holy grail is really when we break it apart. Eg @ivory@tapbots.social is an awesome app for content consumption and authoring. My own website is a great place for hosting content. Aggregation is something eg. search indexes like Google is great at. This is why l’m intrigued about the #IndieWeb

This is actually very fitting because cops would 100% incarcerate the grinch before they'd ever teach him to love the holiday spirit.

The grinch was all like "oh I get it it's a community and not just a consumerist thing that exists specifically to trigger my misophonia every year" and got invited to the lunch and presumably given earplugs as gifts every year.

The Grinch actually saved Christmas in the movie because if he hadn't stolen the presents in the first place the town wouldn't have shed the consumerist nature the holiday had taken on under capitalism, but people only remember him for being a hater 🤣

I wish folks could connect the corporate greed that lead to Southwest airlines having a holiday implosion and climate change that drove the weather to be catastrophic across so many states. It’s all connected. If we allow it to continue, those catastrophes will only get bigger.
