Elon has molded Twitter into his own image. If you’re on it, you’re endorsing him.

Move fast, break things kill people.

Working as designed.

Paid shill for deathmobiles.

Because techbros never consider the downsides or misuses of the technologies they promote, only the profit potential.

Really. The MechaHitler name seems like a dead giveaway.

All that ad revenue won’t be surrendered without a fight. Just wait, there will be ads you have to click through to read all of the AI summary.

Have you ever heard a 911 call? People don’t speak in complete sentences. Not everyone speaks English. They yell. They cry. They whisper. There’s background noise. Sometimes they need instructions on CPR or first aid. They may not know where they are. This is a recipe for disaster.

I use Pocket and Fakespot. Now what? I requested my Pocket data to be downloaded, so I’ll have that at least. Fakespot was really valuable, losing it really sucks.

LO is fine for most uses though working back and forth with Office users can be problematic. Two things that I like about are: it offers a database module, which Office for the Mac doesn’t have, and it can open a lot of older file formats that newer apps can’t.

Whenever a headline asks a question like this the answer is usually “no”.

Foster’s Lager is advertised as “Australian for Beer” in the US and other places, if FPI makes plastic cups this could mean drink Foster’s (beer) in a Foster’s (plastic) cup.

This is a story that is as much about elderly Congress members as it is about the precipitous decline in local journalism. We’ve lost visibility to a lot of what’s going on in our communities as well as in Washington. I’m not sure how we recover from this.

No question that Mozilla doesn’t always communicate well. They definitely need to bring someone into their organization to help with that.

I’m looking at Waterfox, like some other Firefox alternatives it doesn’t allow direct import of your Firefox bookmarks, you have to export them as HTML and import them.

This just gets uglier and uglier. I wish I wasn’t so wedded to WordPress (not an invitation for suggestions, thanks). Mullenweg is just being a dick and his strong arm tactics aren’t working.

This causes me physical pain, as if my brain was trying to escape my skull.

Make sure your hosting supports webfinger, otherwise activitypub probably won’t work. I’m on Siteground and they explicitly prevent it. Matthias Pfeferle, who wrote the ActivityPub plugin and now works for Automattic, actually asked them to enable it but they said no. Other hosts might do this as well.

Thanks, these look interesting. I’ve been using Firefox forever for my personal browsing (but Edge for work) and I’d prefer to stay with it if I can.

I’m not a doctor but he certainly seems neurodivergent based on his writing. It’s hard to imagine him ever changing in some significant way and being “rehabilitated” enough to be allowed back into society, hence the “some evidence”. It’s might be best he remains in jail rather than be paroled.

He did mention the murder of his wife and said he would detail his regret to anyone who asked. The rest of the letter describes the “social mistakes” in dealing with co-workers and the Linux community. He even asks that those co-workers’ names be added to the credits and his negative comments about them be deleted. There’s no forgiving what he did to his wife but there’s at least some evidence he’s changed since that happened.
