Random comment: startups exist to make money for investors and founders (lots of money, preferably). Mostly, the investors. 100x preferable. Usually done via acquisition or IPO. While a company is venture funded, those first few years where the service is "free", it's in essence being 100% subsidized by the investors, who are expecting a return (i.e. enough for you to get hooked on the service that later on they can sell advertising against the user base/sell subscriptions/sell your data/whatever). When those investors are crypto-lords... #socialmedia #subtooting

It’s so hilarious to see a certain someone ripping Alan Dye to shreds now, given that this someone blocked me on here for making (casual) fun of Apple’s design team a few months back.

Alas, people mistaking differences of opinion for someone's mental health, trauma, or PTSD. You can NOT agree on how to run things without the other party being out of their mind. Be well folks! #subtooting

Budapest, 1950. Undoubtedly the worst Hungarian leader of modern times was Mátyás Rákosi, seen here with some of his adoring supporters. A committed Stalinist, he ruled Hungary from 1945 to 1956, brooking no opposition and with an obscene cult of the personality. He established Hungary's only gulag/forced labour camp at Resck. A thoroughly unpleasant and dislikable man. He died in exile in Moscow.

I sort of like it when others release updated versions of their packages and break my code. It always reminds me to be a better engineer and write more tests. Often, a few tests are totally sufficient to surface those breakages. #subtooting

I will never not be in awe of the productivity of academics who are parents of newborns.

Astrology (except as it interacts with culture and myth) is not my thing but I love astronomy

So what do we call it? I refuse to say subtoot on moral grounds. Obviously, if it's here, it's not a subtweet, so I have been using subpost but that seems wrong, too! Or, at least, it doesn't roll off the tongue.

Halp!!1!

I hope that certain organizations understand that negative feedback is still feedback, and don't react to the seemingly unanimous dislike and very valid criticisms about their inexplicable love for AI from the Fediverse by shutting down their Mastodon presence.
Because that, too, would be a statement.
