Cool cool, Disney+ added a user agent check and blocks streaming on Linux, now, after engineers at the company previously ensured it works (since they use Linux!). Changing my user agent to Windows makes the service work again. What year is it, Disney?

It's astounding how bad the web is without an ad blocker This tax on using the web, which funds most of it, pays most of the highest paid programmers ($750k/yr+), etc., doesn't impact programmers, who almost all use ad blockers The whole situation reminds me of the lottery tax

I want Mastodon to succeed, but there's a growing group of volunteer sysadmins now keeping the network afloat who are going to burn out.

Why anybody would volunteer to run a Rails monolith is beyond me. ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

I just remembered Slack supports sed-like syntax to edit a message. 🤯 For instance: /s/great/amazing/ would replace the word “great” by “amazing” in the last message. 🔥

There is nothing -- NOTHING -- so innovative, clever, or difficult, that you can *possibly* do, which will not be met with a scoffing "whatever, we don't need this, I could do that in a weekend" from some asshat on hacker news.

sad to announce that since Elon’s takeover, I will not be leaving Twitter. Trust me I wish I could, but I’m not successful enough to feel I can quit. related, does anyone want to give me a writing job

elon musk is so good at negotiation he paid $44 billion for something worth ~$10 and then as his first order of business he proposed a $20 monthly subscription and immediately revised that down to $8 because Stephen King told him to fuck off. brilliant stuff

I don’t know where I’ll go if Twitter implodes - I don’t use any other social media any more and I didn’t get on with mastodon. Twitter’s format is perfect for short-burst shitposts. My blog does have an RSS feed if you want to follow me there!

They've completely forgotten that many inactive accounts belong to people who have died and their presence is still a source of great comfort to their loved ones. Removing their accounts entirely would be in a way like losing them all over again.

Let’s be clear that this is an absolutely unhealthy and toxic way of working as there’s no real reason to do so. This is not a startup running out of money, about to go bankrupt if not for this manic sprint. It’s the worlds richest person doing this because he can. So he does.

I don't trust Twitter DMs for chatting about anything I wouldn't publicly post for my worst enemies to see. And really, I never should have. The privacy folks were right.

Another great strategy for defeating the bots and trolls, and I'm just spitballing here, might be getting the new head of twitter to stop retweeting disgusting conspiracy theories about the attempted murder of Pelosi.
