I continue to think the software industry hyperfocuses on engagement because it's immediately legible to various decision makers and because the "obvious" proxy measures (e.g. time spent using the application) seem easy to measure.

Americans hate kings so much that our spat over tea taxes by the Crown in the late 1700s has created a visible pattern of coffee drinking around the globe Do you know how much you have to piss off Anglophones to make us give up *tea*?

PSA: Fully fleshed out stories with confirmed details do not appear instantaneously. Reporters must get information, confirm it and then write it up in an article that then needs to be edited prior to publication. Everyone is working as fast as possible I assure you.

MySpace, to LiveJournal to early Twitter, just want a haphazardly crafted network of friends/acquaintance/shitposters to read on the daily authenticity is lost when it's click-content curated by an algorithm, instead of a joke shared organically that spans across networks within a single site

there’s a reason bluesky is a retirement home for millennial posters - we grew up before algorithms and were not used to having content shoved in our faces unasked for we chose to click on those terrible threads ourselves

There is a maximum amount of time each day you're supposed to focus on the world's problems instead of your own, after which you have a legitimate need for therapy on your thought processes being self-destructive. At some point you have to stop scrubbing your hands you are bleeding into the sink.

I still have a Twitter account. I barely use it at all. I mostly use it to check in on my friends who are still over there. The vibe on that site just keeps getting worse over time. It incentivises conflict.

I legitimately wonder if there's a way to document the C++ standard libraries in a way that's not obtuse. cppreference used to be okay at it, but these days, large pieces of it feel as if you were reading the standard itself.

Bing has a setting to turn off Copilot answers in search results. It does nothing as far as I can tell. I still get Copilot answers shoved at the top of my results page.

Deep Blue is 30 years old and was capable of defeating chess grand champions. It could be housed in a single cabinet. ChatGPT spans untold data centers devouring massive amounts of electricity and it got its ass whipped by an 8 bit gaming console from the 1970s.

Periodic reminder that every day is STFU Friday Also, sharing the location of cops in the public performance of their jobs is ironclad First Amendment-protected expression If you're concerned something you've said has you on the Government's radar, call your lawyer instead of posting through it

The central delusion of pundits who desperately try to guilt people into coming back to Twitter: they genuinely seem to think we all secretly MISS Twitter and are merely hanging out over here out of a drab, self-flagellating sense of moral superiority no, we're here because Twitter sucks shit now
