Holy shit! THEY CALLED IT WANX! www.404media.co/alibaba-rele...

Thinking of entering my DIY renovation influencer era, though I might ruin the joy of building stuff there as I have with software 😩

Ding ding ding! Watch this. He’s laying it out. My team at Stanford Internet Observatory documented this process meticulously, over & over again, in 2020. The R machine retaliated against us. When Elon bought X, it became even sharper. The rest of the political spectrum needs to get in the game.

Mow mow mow, mow mow mow mow. Nyaa?

The entire tech industry right now

The rule is that you have to sing it out loud

Our new #opensource #RPG that transforms Kubernetes education into an exciting adventure.

after days of grifters and con men at CES we stumbled upon the booth for VLC. they were all dressed as wizards and told us, "we have nothing to sell, we just decided to show up". i told them I'd been using their software to pirate media for 15 years and they said "keep doing that"

Villain, I have done thy mother.

damn this japanese chocolate was pretty good

Currently at the stage of house renovations where spend the morning trying to make a decision on the curtain rods we want.

Sydney tech industry legend John Allsopp kicking off today’s #webdirections Next event. It’s especially nice to hear an Acknowledgement of First Nations people during Thanksgiving week. I never once heard such a thing growing up in the US.

atproto and bluesky has been built by a group of extremely talented and thoughtful engineers. it’s pretty remarkable. that said, there was a key piece missing from the architecture! we forgot to first build a social app with hundreds of millions of users to advertise bluesky on.

Word of the day is ‘librocubicularist’: one who loves nothing better than reading in bed. (Not easy to say, but I’m glad to know it exists).

Fun fact: As of a few minutes ago, this Bluesky account now has as many accounts following it as my Twitter account had when I closed it. I'm really glad to be here, y'all.

I have zero clue how I first beat this game as a kid because my dad got me a knock off version that wasn’t even in English

When I’m interviewing I have a neat trick to sus out the culture really quick: Ask the interviewer “when was the last time you were paged?” If they look at their watch, run.

Anil Dash on why you should quit Substack while you still can: every new feature they add increases lock-in, making it harder to leave while they court some of the worst people online https://www.anildash.com/2024/...

I really want to enjoy Tiny Glade, but my brain won't let me. I've somehow gotten used to the constant stress of Rocket League games. Maybe if someone could build their castle better than mine while I watch, it might make the gears in my brain start moving.

Damn this delicious woke food!

This is an interesting detail about how domain names work The .gov domain name is controlled by the US government, which means that if you see a user with a ".gov" handle, you can be pretty sure they're real

I open my Bluesky feed and it is full of really cool people saying really smart things and being really passionate about really interesting stuff. I like this version of social media, and the world. Thanks, folks.

📣📣📣 turn on 2fa! 📣📣📣 (email only for now but better than nothing)

In my opinion "Twitter" is whichever place most embodies the poster's spirit, and that's here now

Lol

The narrative of having to choose between uplifting humanity and communities vs being effective and high performance… Is entirely false. Go for it. Build those communities. Embrace wholeness. It’s ✨ literally ✨ more effective than focusing on effectiveness.

If you could make everyone understand one truth, what would it be? I'll go first: Very few things in life are zero sum. We are all better off if we find ways for everyone to win instead of thinking that for us to win someone has to lose.

I refuse to join Bluesky. I don’t want to become part of a neko chamber

Pour one out for @krisnova.net who isn't alive to witness this moment of everyone from tech twitter finally being set free from the social gravity hellhole of Xitter.

So many people sharing their stories about @krisnova.net makes me happy she lives on I made this to remember her and I’m sure some of the stories will resonate with others If you never met her you missed out

Post a picture you took (no description) to bring some zen to the timeline.
