I think about this quote from @andy@bell.bz a lot: ‘P.S if you think “no one will want to read my posts”, you’re wrong, because I do.’ It’s just a sweet sentiment. It’s important to remember—someone will read your website. A tweet is dead on the vine. No one is gonna read your old Facebook note from years ago. But your website is timeless and someone will eventually read it. Making your own website is rewarding in a way that a corporate social media profile never will be. https://andy-bell.co.uk/just-post/

If a person directly affected tells you directly that someone is being racist, or sexist, or genderist, or ableist, or colonialist, or ageist, or sizeist, or displaying some other form of bias or bigotry, or that something is problematic along those lines and you "don't see it", two things are probably true. 1) you probably aren't looking carefully enough at the situation the person's telling you about 2) the person cares enough to tell you, this time, but will probably never trust you again with that feedback about that topic. So if you don't actively engage, learn, and make amends, they will probably never talk to you again about it. Not because they've given up. What they've done is give up on _you_. If that doesn't bother you, then honestly, I don't want to know you.

Let me be clear, the data you put online is as much a part of you as your physical being. It is a construct, but it IS YOU. Why should anyone own you but you? For profit social media is nothing but a perversely incentivized version of serfdom at best, but somehow permissible because your intellectual construct is believed to be somehow less valuable than your physical being. Both the physical and intellectual versions of you, are you. Deny them.

Someone defended the Plagiarism Machine to me the other day by saying that the people who are going to use it weren't going to pay artists in the first place, they were just going to go to the second page of Image Search and steal something from there anyway. But the categorical difference is that in the old way, there was a non-zero chance of getting caught. The Plagiarism Machine makes that impossible because it is a copyright laundry.

Okay, #ADHD folks - what symptom suddenly makes sense, now that you understand ADHD better? I'm not talking about general stuff, like difficulty concentrating, I'm talking about specific phenomena, like having trouble following a conversation at a party. I always thought I had this problem because my ears are about a foot higher than the people speaking, but now I'm starting to think that the real difficulty is that my brain has trouble turning the volume down on all the other talking in the room. (I will occasionally repost this, along with whatever new symptom I've thought up... Apologies for the repetition) #ItAllMakesSenseNow

Scalable software today means software working on many machines owned by a single entity. Instead, it should be reclaimed to mean software that works across machines owned by many different people. Let's take 2024 to stop building The Plagiarism Nexus and focus on human empowering technologies. And do that again in 2025. And every year afterwards.

Jerod is back with another “It Depends” episode! This time he’s joined by Kris Brandow from Go Time and they’re talking all things API design. What makes a good API? Is GraphQL a solid choice? Why do we do REST wrong? And WTF does HATEOAS mean, anyway?

Attached: 2 images I finally made one.. Die Hard Christmas ornament. Not that difficult to make, you just need some reflective material of some sort, got from KMart. It has room for improvement, I only have a black and white laser printer, and perhaps it could be smaller. Maybe I'll make more..

Wait, NORAD tracks my sleigh? In real-time?! This is outrageous! I never gave permission for this!
