Why is everyone confidently asserting that Musk deleted all the tweets from 2014 and earlier with a twirl of his evil moustache when the far more plausible scenario is that the storage just shut down because he's fired all the people who knew how to keep it running, or because he hasn't been paying the bills for it?

Had an awesome job lined up. High profile editorial, Ghost CMS, tight timeline but healthy budget, awesome producer. Found out the client is a Jan 6th insurrection apologist and had to decline. I’m not picky about work right now but I draw the line at treason and fascism. Anyway, if anyone wants to do a project together, I have availability!

got my first check from a startup acquisition in my bank account. it’s not much, but I can’t lie: it’s pretty cool to get it from something I saw as the same thing as buying a lotto ticket.

I would really like to see a blog post or a talk explaining copyright stuff for personal blogs. Any recommendations?

take me down to parallax city where the back moves slow and the front moves quickly

Posted a bikini pic on Twitter and I had def had a guy reply with “so you share it with the entire world. Nobody cares” lmfaooo I know it’s hard for ppl like him to fathom a woman being able to post tech stuff and share the fun parts of her life at the same time lol 😂 🥂

I went to three in-person conferences this summer. All asked attendees to COVID test every other day. The first "encouraged" masks, and had a COVID outbreak. The second "encouraged" masks, and had 10 percent positivity by the second to last day, at which point they started requiring masks. The third REQUIRED masks indoors, and had zero positive COVID tests.

I think we can all agree at this point that VCs, more often than not, are actually a massive fucken problem

@Kye@tech.lgbt @cadey@pony.social looking at job ads like "that's not full stack, that's an entire IT department"

apparently i passed a phishing awareness test last week by correctly ignoring a fake linkedin email nobody tell my boss that i ignored it entirely on the assumption that it was a real linkedin email

Describing someone in a peer review as "a safe pair of hands", which made me realise people here might not have seen this great article from @emauton@mastodon.ie https://emauton.org/2022/12/24/a-safe-pair-of-hands/

A reminder that Trump will not see your fat jokes or other comments about his weight but your fat friends will.

man, crossposting the same joke to four platforms is rough. by the fourth repost, you really feel like you're desperately repeating the punchline for one last round of half-laughs.
