@Truck @Dozer if it did, an “Indian Summer Sale” wouldn’t be wrong. :)

Summer weather during autumn

During the autumn, you may hear us talking about 'summer-like weather' or 'autumnal warmth'.

@steadicat @slightlyoff @bendelarre Replace “React” with “Flash” and your argumentation will bear the same meaning as before, but you’ll hopefully realise that the developer productivity can never outweigh the huge cost of the investment in the platform. No matter what you do, the platform will be there, with its wrong abstractions and oddly shaped limitations compared to the raw interaction model of HTTP and the web browser (in practice; REST).

@steadicat @bendelarre: the bad norms stem from narrative inversion; the idea that DX is what matters _most_, rather than the idea that the lived experience of the user is paramount.

I've called this "trickle-down DX", and it's just as thoroughly falsified at this point as the Laffer Curve.

The outcome of this broken narrative is the mis-application of inappropriate abstractions in situations where they can't possibly pay for themselves (CSS-in-JS, Redux, hydration, etc.)

God makes LGBTQ people and God loves them just as they are. They deserve the same rights as everyone else. Anyone who says otherwise is a bigot and you can tell them I said that.

If Mastodon DMs are “only mentioned people posts” then they shouldn’t be called DMs — they should be called something else. Not because “direct message” isn’t technically correct, but because it already has an assigned meaning (“private message”). The easy fix isn’t to attempt to re-educate every single new Mastodon user, it’s to rename the feature to make it clear what it does. UX matters.

Please don't use social media, such as Twitter, Mastodon, Facebook, etc to send messages you wouldn't want others to see.

Use something like Signal or Telegram for that instead.

The week before Thanksgiving Twitter fires 4K workers, Amazon fires 10K workers, Facebook fires 11K workers, and Disney plans thousands of layoffs—all while US Billionaire pandemic wealth increased an absurd $1.7T.😳

A reminder that billionaires don’t create jobs—they exploit workers.

Tax billionaires. Unionize workers.

@sammy @Truck thanks for the poke. I’ll try to find another instance.
