I've genuinely enjoyed @gruber.foo's writing for decades, but his "actually X isn't so bad" piece this week is awfully privileged and ignorant. Of course X is welcoming if you're a straight white affluent American male. Anyways, noted racist DHH agrees with him which should tell you everything.

I'm looking forward to the forthcoming daringfireball article telling me that Fox News is actually decent or that Truth Social is a good source of info on current events.

7 day Reddit ban for commenting in a subreddit that I posted in under a throwaway account months ago due to sensitive content because that fucking makes sense. Let the Nazis and pet abusers and other trash humans run wild but yeah, better ban a dude asking for financial advice.

You should be striving to have as few internet-connected devices in your life as possible.

What’s a thing from your area of expertise (or special interest) that you think it would behoove everyone else to know?

"Thy hast heard that it was saith, ‘'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ But I tell thee, be thou not vicious nor malicious. Be thee just delovely and delicious." — Bootsy 5:38-39 (KJV)

Never forget that anti-trans bigot J.K. Rowling pretended to be a man when it financially benefitted her.

In my opinion, this is litigious thuggery. Amnesty spoke their truth and it hurt the feelings of the anti-trans brigade. TERFs destroy everything they touch. I mean, imagine suing Amnesty, of all organisations?

@feedly.com another year goes by with me begging for Feedly on iOS to support pinch-to-zoom on articles and images. This is such basic accessibility functionality I've been requesting forever and the only reason I still use Feedly Classic (which isn't even in the App Store anymore).

If you read the history of GitHub backwards, it starts out as a struggling Microsoft side project running on Azure, then it transitioned to AWS and became much more performant, and then finally they broke free from MS and went on to huge indie success.

I went to church with my mom this morning. It didn't have nearly as much subtle racism and misogyny as i expected but boy howdy did I hear a lot about how I'm an awful sinful disgusting wreck (true) and how Jesus is the only way for me to fix that (questionable).

Free idea: social media account where people submit photos of the weird meals they eat the day before they travel to use up the stuff from their fridge that will otherwise have gone bad by the time they get home. (I just ate a whole red bell pepper like an apple.)

And every single hockey player in that room laughed along with him, all while partying alongside Kash Patel. Do not gloss over or forget that.

Trump mocks the gold medal-winning US women's hockey team: "I must tell you, we're going to have to bring the women's team, you do know that. I do believe I probably would be impeached."
