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
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 🤣
so godaddy runs a brilliant new scam where if your domain name expires, they purchase it, park it, and then pretend someone else bought it and make you bargain via a “godaddy broker” to get it back. their “suggested starting bid” for our indie game’s website was $2-4,000
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.
This.
I felt burnt out but I am not burnt out, I can do everything that I have to do, it's just this constant extreme fatigue that prevents me from going above what I have to do.

This is what the transphobic moral panic over toilets gets you: not safety for women, but women who don't fit feminine stereotypes being harassed and made to feel unsafe. itv.com/news/central/2…
Okay, the buttplug io thing but with it's a vs mode in Warioware where you beat a minigame and gain vibe charges (intensity based on difficulty and speed of microgame) to use on your opponent while they try to beat a microgame to use vibe charges on you.
The southwest situation is so unfortunate.
But the idea that software for a company like southwest is incredibly outdated and is one bad day away from colossal failure is not particularly surprising.
It’s hard to convince people to invest in something that’s “working”.
.@SouthwestAir took $3.7B in federal aid from 2020-21.
It’s CEO got a pay raise to a $9.1M package in 2022.
Yet Southwest employees are working 16 hour shifts & threatened w/termination if they refuse overtime or call in sick.
Socialism for the wealthy. Capitalism for workers.
Southwest has canceled another 2,500 flights so far on Tuesday.
People now find themselves stranded at airports across the country, with little idea of when they can get home or where their bags are.

I always grew up hearing about deer 'shedding their velvet' and thought it sounded super gentle and lame.
'Sounds lame' I used to say as a kid. 'Not metal at all' I'd say
people wondering why the one is eating itself, deer will also eat live birds and dead fish and rabbits when they get the chance and have been observed eating human remains and even other dead deer. they're herbivores unless they don't feel like it

I just wrote the following on a GitHub issue. I don't understand why people have not learned this yet:
⚠️ NEVER SEND POTENTIAL SECURITY ISSUES PUBLICLY.
If the security issue is concrete, it also poses all the users at risk because the maintainers might not have time to act.
Last night watching the first little bit of Star Wars with Max, with his new LEGO X-Wing we built, he asked innocently, did you have anything like this when you were a kid? “No buddy, my dad never would’ve taken the time to help me with something like this.” “Oh…” Max (1/2)
Woke Twitter, i remember someone told me that we shouldn’t refer to women who don’t want Children as “childless” anymore, cos the “less” makes it seem like a negative thing. Does anyone know what the new terminology is?…..And may I suggest “financially-happier” or “Not-As-tired”
Childfree. (I have 3. Children are the best if you want children. I adore mine. But it’s like jumpers. If you’re not cold and someone makes you wear a jumper, it’s fucking hideous. If you are cold, it’s perfect. How do we understand this about knitware but not kids?)
I do ♥ vim's editing power.
Wanted to make a mass edit across hundreds of blocks in dozens of files.
1) Identify:
:vimgrep /pattern/ **/*.html
2) make bulk change
:cdo «copy the line to the target, modify it as desired, return to previous line, remove portion»
3) save

Hackers have been tweeting as Piers Morgan for well over 30 mins and leaking his DMs while Musk shitposts Batman memes. Gotta love this place.

The great thing about Piers Morgan being hacked is that you can enjoy it because he's a terrible person and also was editor of the Daily Mirror who just happened to hack people's voicemails, so this is maybe just a little bitty bit of karma.
