I'm older so I remember things. Everything you see happening today should be understood this way:

The top tax rate used to be 90% in order to prevent the really rich from destroying democracy.

The corporate tax rate was 50% because corporations exist to serve society.

AND the inheritance tax was really high to keep family dynasties from gaining power over us.

Hey, @tswan I’m going to be setting up my own instance. Any tips or things to watch out for? Thanks!

Cannot reiterate this enough:

PLEASE don’t request refunds from Apple for any unused time on your Twitterrific or Tweetbot subscriptions.

It could literally bankrupt small shops like these.

Twitterrific: End of an Era • The Breakroom

Twitterrific has been discontinued. A sentence that none of us wanted to write, but have long felt would need to be written someday. We didn’t expect to be writing it so soon, though, and certainly not without having had time to notify you that it was coming. We are sorry to say that the app’s […]

App Store Rejection of the Week: Ice Cubes, a Splendid New Mastodon Client

We’re now on the cusp of a new frontier with Mastodon, and it’s Apple’s utterly clueless bureaucratic App Store reviewers who are doing their best to lock the new playground’s gates before they even open.

'How you could build a search that the fediverse would welcome' by @anildash is such a good and thoughtful read. Really impressed to see so much good writing lately about the #fediverse and how to move this weird project of ours forward!

Ok a more serious comment about the UK Online Safety bill. Back in summer of 2021, when Apple proposed to build client-side “content scanning” into iPhones, Alex Stamos and I worried publicly that some countries would use it for purposes far beyond child abuse imagery. And here in 2023 we now have examples.

This morning I was suddenly let go from my job of 2+ years in Incident Management and #SRE.

I was a critical member of the Infra/SRE team, I completely rebuilt the entire observability stack, started and ran a socio-technical program of continuous learning, and rebuilt the On-Call program. Yep they're letting me go. What can I say.

I am looking for leads quick. I am poor and need to find a new gig fast. LinkedIn being furiously updated:
