mdn, question 

What the actual fuck is going on with the AI thing over at MDN? Are there some weird internal politics involved? The threads about it are super weird

Threads.net has been preemptively defederated.

Leftists stop shilling Audible challenge 2023.
Yall do know it's "An Amazon Company", right? It's not like they are trying to hide it.

Someone has made a whole open-world RPG framework for #godotengine and published it under the MIT license. I continue to be astonished and delighted by the things people make and share freely for Godot.

I hope when I turn off notifications from an app that a bright red light goes off at the company headquarters and all the PMs get up from their seats and have to go look at the screen on the wall and think about their mistakes

social media 

Can't help but notice that when journalists talk about big social media platforms as being unique for "being a place where everybody was" (and often longing for that to come back), "everybody" always seems to mean "cis white people"

How do you fit one ram into a computer anyway, let alone 8? And won't they continue to bleet until you let them out? How will you feed them? Won't they eat the wires? I don't think you computer people have thought this through

In the Netherlands, the trees were leaned against the houses to prevent them from falling down during the storm.

PS: Because I was asked a lot: No, they didn't really do that on purpose, but I was making a little fun about it because it looks as if they did ...

Berlin: giving away old UPSes 

At work, we have 4 old (2009-2017) APC UPSes that have been put to rest. Batteries probably need to be replaced, but the devices themselves should be fine. 2x rack-mountable, 2x stand-alone.

Before we throw them away, is anyone interested in picking them up?

#Meta's #Threads wanting to federate with the #fediverse (if that will ever happen 🤞🏻) is a form of #gentrification. A large corporate shopping mall settles in a nice neighborhood with small local run shops and community centers. The new shopping mall says 'if we settle here, more people will come, and you all will benefit'. A few years later all small shops are bankrupt and the community is destroyed. What remains is a barren corporate landscape.

stop making video players that keep starting the video as soon as you interact with anything

if I'm dragging the nub on the progress bar to the very start, chances are I want to wait a moment before I play the video from the very start

If I wanted the video to play, I would simply click on the play button. Or anywhere on the video. Or hit spacebar

You don't have to make literally every element on the player play the video, too

Enshittification… also known as “the toxic business model we all knew about but tolerated has finally begun to negatively impact even those of us with privilege.”

A thread on Threads 1/20 

You've got two options:
1) Participate in Threads and rediscover later on how awful Meta are, what they're capable of, and where their dogshit morals lie
2) Save yourself the trouble and actively resist it (it's so easy too, just de-federate, job done, easiest activism of your life!)

I honestly feel like the concept behind GraphQL has so much potential that GraphQL itself will never realize because it was built by Facebook, and so only designed to solve Facebook's problems

Love that when someone replies to you on here you can just reply "🤔 have you considered fucking off" without having to worry about offending anyone who matters.

Today is stormy, but yesterday was a great day in the field!
We picked beans with a bunch of folks, and we planted kale and cavolo nero.

Want to post the famous cartoon on Popper’s #ParadoxOfTolerance, but daunted by the prospect of adding #AltText? Well, I’ve done it for you! Bookmark this toot and come fetch it when you need it.

And if you're running a poll on whether to defederate, I think you should sit for a moment with how that would transfer to the aforementioned situation
