My kids have just discovered that the family sick bowl and the cake mix bowl are one and the same. In my defence, this was also the case when I was growing up … but now I’ve said it out loud, I realise I need to break the cycle. I won’t be taking any further questions.

It's also wild that he can say that and then say "But not Alex Jones, what he did was inexcusable." It's just so clear that all he really wants is a place where he is in charge.

Every time people like EM bring up how they want to create an "ultimate unlimited free-speech zone" they seem to forget that plenty of sites with that setup already exist (parler, gab, truth social), it's just that normal people don't want to hang out on them 'cause they're awful

To throw one more fallacy on the bonfire: CI is not the practice of running a building test server. It is the behavior of developers sharing all their code changes frequently, at LEAST once a day.

Jack Dorsey was the best CEO twitter ever had or will have. for years, he was pestered daily to add a button that would allow op ed writers to see where trolls lived and he’d just go “I am currently at a commune where we’re eating smegma :)” he didn’t fold. Elon isn’t like that

People on social media won't tell you their parents assist them with rent. They won't tell you they have an old man who sends them money monthly in exchange for sex. They won't tell you they started business with inherited money.

Definitely seeing less humans/people (over brands) on twitter as the humans shift to mastodon or exit entirely. I also keep seeing a chart of "increased engagement" yet the source is a single person that I really wouldn't trust not to fiddle the stats in their favour…

Notable that Marc Andreessen backed Elon’s twitter takeover and is now also backing Post, a counter app. Once again, you think you’re given a choice but the rich get richer either path you take

So, not only is PostNews VC funded, but it’s these investors/advisors?🤮 Guess we can’t even have an app where the SAME folks who got us here (as investors, advisers & cheerleaders) aren’t in charge & maintaining the same structural hierarchy? Expect a suggested user list:(😱

Mastodon stampede. "Federation" now apparently means "DDoS yourself." Every time I do a new blog post, within a second I have over a thousand simultaneous hits of that URL on my web server from unique IPs. Load goes over 100, and mariadb stops... https://jwz.org/b/yj6w

Fun fact: sharing this link on Mastodon caused my server to serve 112,772,802 bytes of data, in 430 requests, over the 60 seconds after I posted it (>7 r/s). Not because humans wanted them, but because of the LinkFetchWorker, which kicks off 1-60 seconds after Mastodon indexes a post (and possibly before it's ever seen by a human). Every Mastodon instance fetches and stores their own local copy of my 750kb preview image. (I was inspired by to look by @jwz@mastodon.social's post: https://mastodon.social/@jwz/109411593248255294.)

The real, factual definition of child grooming is forming a relationship with a child and sometimes their family to gain the child’s trust for the purpose of sexually abusing them. It has nothing to do with LGBTQ people or drag and saying it does is harmful to real child victims
