Former #ITProfessional still following tech topics; if my ‘helpful’ replies are not don’t hesitate to say so - old habits are hard to break. 
In life I'm #cooking, doing #yardwork and #gardening, #biking, and still expending effort noodling around #software far too much.

Yo @ProPublica, I’ve been watching what you do here while your “please donate again” emails continue to pile up. Resist the #enshittification path and “betrayals of the public trust by …. other institutions” that is part of your mission statement

I know it is a little thing but I wish more people would correctly set the language for their Mastodon posts. It'd help other users automatically filter out posts they can't read and aren't interested in.

Eisenhower warned about the Military Industrial Complex 65 years ago but did we listen? Follow the money: who gets this $200B and who pays it? The grift continues while enhancing the distraction - a double dividend

Anxiously awaiting the appearance of this BitWarden archiving capability that others requested so long ago https://community.bitwarden.com/t/archive-old-accounts/7191/158.

Inspired by ProPublica’s new database, I created a visualization of the nearly 400 LLCs that make up Trump’s business empire.
That and more in this week’s newsletter. Read! Free!

Where Trump's money comes from (and other mysteries)

This week's newsletter covers a range of topics: The president's complex network of companies, how weather has gotten worse, a new tool to visualize the whole world at once. But I did reserve some time to call out a terrible chart from Fox News, so stick around for that! Chapter

It isn’t *always* DNS, sometimes it is NTP. Be prepared

So the wife and I have both figured out that we start lots of conversations by saying "So, ... "

So I suspect it’is mostly a boomer or generation X thing, like "like" seems to be a word later generations use to excess.

So I thought I'd make you aware of that verbal tic too.

As expected, the AI emperor has no clothes either.

There have been researchers who pointed this out from the very beginning and yet they're only getting airtime now.
