What does the constant use of 'ecosystem' to described closed technical architectures tell us?
"..It is seen everywhere but experienced almost nowhere. It’s surfaced so often to suggest but instantly cauterise our longing for another way to build and experience the internet.
But that’s useful. We can use it both to see what’s really there and to suggest what might yet be made."

I wrote something: Is this thing on? (Also: Twitter, Mastodon, and the Fundamentals of DoOO)
I was this many days old when I learned that you can test the temperature of a #PumpkinPie to make sure it’s done. Needs to be 180 degrees.
Sharing is caring.
It is time for my annual Black Friday warning: do not succumb to the great deals for DNA testing! Do not give them as gifts!
No matter their claims, your data is NOT safe with a commercial testing firm. Further, you have NO way of knowing how your data may be used in the future, and how it may negatively impact your life or your descendants. You won't control it.
If you have a medical issue & need testing, use a certified medical laboratory through your doctor!
I jotted this down quickly in 1998 and I think it's still useful: The art of hosting good conversations online.
