Penn demoted Karikó, removing her from the tenure track and making her an "adjunct associate professor." They also cut her salary. They should be issuing a public apology. Completely shameless.

Mozilla should call for a vote on the removal of Google from the W3C over the implementation of Web Environment Integrity. "But Chrome has 65% market share, what good is the W3C without them?” If Google can take unilateral action to fundamentally change the basic principles of the web, then the W3C is *already* useless. This will give Google a clear choice: if they want to maintain the idea that the W3C matters, they should withdraw this implementation.

A friend: Hey, I’m on Threads! It’s like Twitter, but without Musk.
Me: It’s still billionaires, algorithms, and advertisements. No thanks.

A quick two penneth (putting the privacy elephant in the room aside for a moment):

Bluesky: first experience - empty. Void. Hard to find people I want to follow.

Threads: very quick easy setup process if you’re on insta (which will be key for most people), but once in it’s chaos and anxiety inducing. Can’t turn off suggested posts, doesn’t remember where you were (and it’s an algorithmic timeline anyway).

It’s interesting to dip into others, but it just solidifies why I’m on Mastodon.

People who are like "The migration to Mastodon has failed!"

No it hasn't. I literally migrated to Mastodon from Twitter, and I don't use Twitter anymore, but I do use Mastodon every day.

I call that a successful migration.

This whole Reddit thing is a reminder that we all need to stop hanging out on websites owned by for-profit corporations.
Got off my call with Reddit just now about the API. Bad news unless I come up with 20 million dollars (not joking). Appreciate boosts. https://www.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/13ws4w3/had_a_call_with_reddit_to_discuss_pricing_bad/
📣 Had a call with Reddit to discuss pricing. Bad news for third-party apps, their announced pricing is close to Twitter's pricing, and Apollo would have to pay Reddit $20 million per year to keep running as-is.

Hey all, I'll cut to the chase: 50 million requests costs $12,000, a figure far more than I ever could have imagined. Apollo made 7 billion...

I had over 3,000 followers, lots of designers and developers that I loved hearing about.

I was blocking and muting most of the Musk-driven idiocy, but the buck stops here.

We cannot keep feeding data to entities that are clearly evil. Now where's the software-building community? :)

Enough is enough. I had been on Twitter for 14 years, but it became a far-right tool of misinformation and hatred. Glad to be here instead.
