I've been reading various entrepreneur books and blog posts1. One thing they all emphasise is that success often comes from finding a problem that you yourself would pay money to solve. And that's a …

All of tech worried about Frankenstein's monster without giving any thought to the core concern that Frankenstein was kind of a dick and that's how you get Frankenstein's monster instead of Frankenstein's cool pal who's fun to be with.

Something I really don’t like is how “hate” is used so lightly — especially by tech folks. Same for “dead” too (tech doesn’t die it’s just sand that can think). Over the last couple of years, I oft…

Great article from @ShopifyEng on improving Ruby GC latency. But I feel like as a society maybe we’re spending these cycles in the wrong place? If we’re going to work on Garbage Collection, could we maybe look at some higher value use cases? Like, say the U.S. Supreme Court.

Watching my nephew's 2nd grade concert (in the U.S.) and they started with an announcement about not posting any recordings but because of "respecting copyright" and to be mindful of filming/photos "for other's experience" but like... no mention of the children's privacy??? wat

Not content with banning native third-party apps, Twitter has continued to cripple their API and move to paid plans for very basic access. I was committed to support Twitter cross-posting as long as possible because there are still Micro.blog customers who want to keep a foot in the Twitter world. But we knew it couldn’t last forever. July 15th will be our last day to support cross-posting blog posts to Twitter.

Wow, hit 16,000 followers finally. Knowing my posts lately, y'all are either here for titties or you need a hug. Probably both.

Attached: 2 images ADHD brains are different. When you ask someone with ADHD to focus and concentrate on a task they aren't motivated and interested in, the brain looks more like it's asleep than it looks like it's concentrating.

I’m not sure how widely this is understood. It’s not that the chance of getting sick is actually low now, it’s that our leaders have decided that it’s time for us to just be cool with getting sick a lot now, and we’re all being socially pressured to act like it’s weird not to be. twitter.com/tryangregory/s…

FOSS licenses come in two approaches. The distinction is _who_ is granted the most freedom: - in "copyleft" licenses the emphasis is on the end-user, ensuring that they are _always_ passed the four freedoms; - in "permissive" licenses, the emphasis is on other developers/programmers, including allowing them to _not_ pass on the four freedoms. Is disappointing people still mistake this as being a difference between #FreeSoftware and #OpenSource because each has always supported both types.

so if you're wondering why black twitter found bluesky more accommodating, the bluesky reps are (at least making an appearance of) actively listening to their concerns, while providing some of the tools they need (e.g. quote posts) from the very outset. at the same time, mainstream mastodon: * has no quote toots and not even a timeline to implement, despite existing implementations of the functionality being deployed elsewhere, * has abysmal search functionality and nixed complete improved search implementation out of pure spite, because gargron is a spoiled manchild, * has no way to share moderation burden across the instances, * has no ability to set up an instance with blocklist/allowlists by default, * the moderation interface is terrible, the tools are of abysmal quality, giving no way to communicate back to the original reporter using the very same interface, * onboarding is a russian roulette, * and to make it even worse, there's no way to move your content betwen servers, so every single time you choose your server wrongly, you lose all the work you put into it …and in the general case mastodon admin and/or moderator is very, very white and very entitled. (and every single time you say any of this, your voice is being drowned by the hooting of the fucking sea lions.) while gargron's current priority is to provide dedicated mastodon ios apps. which should be, frankly, the least of his priorities.

TL;DR: I'm going to leave Meta's social networking platforms (Facebook, Instagram) on June 16th, 2023. This website, byJP.me, will always show good ways to reach me and find out what I'm up to — please say hello if we haven't chatted in a while! I'm pretty fed up of Facebook and Instagram. I barely use them, but when I do I binge, and end up feeling terrible afterwards. I'm familiar with how sites like these use data analytics to group humans into buckets according to the best ways to maximise dopamine release, and the percent of our day we spent on their sites/apps, and it makes me itch.

She right those are both learned skills lol
