I'm somewhat amused at the Spotify/Rogan fracas being framed as an example of the death of the "open web" given that podcasts generally are pretty much the last bastion of RSS and there's zero requirement to sign a licensing deal with someone like Spotify.

Been watching lots of folks mention therapy lately and thought I would share the ten questions I ask every therapist I interview to see if we’re a fit:

It's interesting, by the looks, that only men that criticised this feature in the replies received replies back from Twitter but the multiple women who pointed it out as being a terrible idea received no replies. twitter.com/twittersupport…

the other day i was watching family feud and the question was "something men love doing together" and they got 4/5 that were like playing poker or drinking or whatever and they couldn't get the last one and so they reveal it and the sign flips over and it says "GAY LOVEMAKING"

It’s really wild to compare where we are now to what things were like when I entered the industry. Linux was the big open source project and a lot of us put people like Linus and RMS up on pedestals.

People are still sheepish about saying they see a therapist. It's slowly changing, but every time somebody says it in a way that sounds like they are embarrassed I get sad. Therapy is great and you should do it.

As someone who had been going to Reddit for years before engaging with Twitter, I (respectfully) never know what you guys are talking about. In my experience Twitter is a hell of a lot more toxic than anything I've ever seen on Reddit

I know this isn't a new thought, but it's crazy how Reddit as a larger community is one of the worst places on the internet, but niche subreddits for nerd shit like mycology or ultralight backpacking are some of the most helpful and nicest places online.

Why is asking for help so hard? because people get punished for it. You can't fix that by telling them it's safe, you have to show them it's safe, repeatedly, every time.
