Green living tip: you can help the environment by pressing the "recycle" button (second from the left) whenever you see a dumb post on Mastodon

IMPORTANT: If you’re turned away at the polls because your name is not on the register, don’t walk away.

Your response [verbatim] should be: “Give me a provisional ballot with a receipt, as required by law.”

Don’t let them steal your vote.

2023 Word of the Year is “enshittification” – American Dialect Society

“The American Dialect Society, in its 34th annual words-of-the-year vote, selected “#enshittification” as the Word of the Year for 2023. More than three hundred attendees took part in the deliberations and voting, in an event hosted in conjunction with the Linguistic Society of America’s annual meeting.”

The data's really, really clear: most *new* phones (even in the US and the UK) are 20-35% as fast as the ones developers carry.

But it's worse than that! Most phones in the fleet are more than 18 months old, which means the median device is *whatever cost ~$350 two years ago*.

That is not a fast device. It doesn't have 5G. It absolutely will not deliver a good UX if you're building with the usual React nonsense.

Releasing videos to a schedule is one thing, but releasing videos to a weekly schedule non-stop for a decade is something else entirely.

Enjoy your rest, you deserve it!

After ten years, it's time to stop weekly videos.
