All the reasons why I’m happy on mastodon and have zero interest in threads.

Enjoying the schadenfreude for all the conservatives who gleefully fled the horrors of California to move to Texas.

Don’t blame scrum/agile for bad decisions made to appease business executives. A product owner’s role is to seek input from stakeholders and then make decisions to satisfy those stakeholders and the company’s business directives.

Companies were making poor technical decisions for short term business reasons long before agile became popular.

The cancer you seek is actually called capitalism.

Stop posting Twitter links.

This post should have started with a link to the Nature article, instead of yet another useless link to the dead bird site.

“Soap”

Every tax dollar you pay finances one human crime or another.

The main problem with American higher education is the profit motive. As is often the case, capitalism eventually ruins everything, especially when it’s treated as the state religion.

How has this broken any privacy policy? To me this seems like general information that can’t possibly be traced back to any individual users or groups of users.

You’re conflating capitalism with commerce.

I don’t think the term enshittification applies when a product is fully enshittified from its inception.

No, the main reason why companies turn to shit is because they’re publicly traded and accept VC money so sooner or later, they’re beholden to shareholders demanding infinite growth and profits.

That’s exactly my fear.

Since when is the British Labor Party “left wing”?

Thank you for this much-needed clarification.

Doesn't Apple have some leverage here? They may not control the overall browser market but they mostly control the smartphone market (or at least the profitable segment of that market) and lots of those users prefer to use Safari.

I'm aware Apple implemented similar tech a while ago, but I have infinitely less confidence that Google would use it responsibly.

While I love the idea of sticking it to Adobe, that’s not remotely enough time or money. That would barely cover the cost of a single skilled developer working for one year.

How much of that is attributed to the value of his worthless brand? Also Forbes is a rag that idolizes the wealthy.

It’s not about “having” money, but what you did to acquire it and what you’re doing with it.

Fuck the rich and their bootlicking admirers.

There’s a big difference between digital video editing and compositing vs creating completely artificial scenes with computer-generated 3D models and effects.

Android is now better than iOS… if you’re an ad-based company that profits from undermining user privacy and monetizing personal data without consent.

The only people who believe conservatives have good economic policies are the billionaires and grifters who benefit from them.

VC is a cancer on society. No exceptions.

We should treat this as the pandemic it is.

“Judge Terry Doughty, a Trump nominee…”

Try finding anything good on the internet when 99% of search results are dominated by AI-generated garbage alongside the SEO-generated garbage we already have.

Free ice cream is the wrong metaphor. Think more in terms of cheese and mouse trap.

Fuck Facebook.
