Ugh, DHH referencing Kathy Sierra hits hard. He‘s part of and driver of a toxic culture that makes the online existence of brilliant minds like Kathy‘s impossible. It has been many years and I‘m still angry about what was done to her and I miss reading her 😢🐴❤️

renaming the main branch to 'canon' and side branches to 'heresy' (forking is renamed to schisms and pull requests/merges become ecumenical councils)

Concerns mount as to whether the 173-year old New York Times is too old to continue in its role as the nation’s newspaper of record.

I feel like people pointing out bad results from any “AI” system are missing the point.

You have to think of them as similar to spam, if you can recognize that it is garbage, you’re just not the target demographic.

The hope is that the remaining audience is still large enough to run a profitable scam, simple as that.

The fact that Microsoft's new Recall thing won't capture DRM content means the engineers do understand the risk of logging everything.
They just chose to preference the interests of corporates and money over people, deliberately.

One of the things that the Stack Overflow brouhaha demonstrates is that it doesn’t matter if a service was founded by people trusted by the community (Atwood and Spolsky) and was broadly community-led. If it’s a VC-funded startup, they will sell out their users at some point.

While folks are looking at my timeline, if anyone has any leads on a job for a CMS-focused (mostly #CraftCMS and #EECMS) full-stack web dev, i am EXTREMELY on the market. (I also do Laravel and i'm great at SQL!) I'm passionate about accessibility and i've been working in the field for decades.

I have accepted that Google has access to all my data. Do they have to make me suffer through shitty user interfaces too?

What are people using as a web-based alternative to GMail these days? Because I'm hating it more and more by the day.
