So McDonald's is giving away free fries for the rest of the year... ... if you use their mobile app ... and agree to the updated terms and conditions ... which say: if you use this app you waive your right to trial in any class action lawsuits against McDonalds." We live in the lamest dystopia. The stuff that got edited out of Snow Crash.

If you finally found the solution to your coding problem in a deep comment or something after having dozens of tabs open, you should write about it in your own blog. Really. Describe the problem in your own words and the solution for it, even if the solution seems really obvious now. Doesn’t matter. Give credit and whatever, but use your own words because you will be surprised at how many people will land on it. Write the blog post you wish you had found.

The last few weeks of doing dev work has made me realize that maybe I'm ready to be a software engineer again, although I'd prefer something in a leadership role rather than being the one cranking out code. So if anyone is interested in me, I have a long, proven track record of building software that you've probably used and solving interesting problems to make it possible, and bringing interdisciplinary skills to the table to do so. My résumé is at https://beesbuzz.biz/resume #GetFediHired

Funny thing with Musk shitting on wikipedia about the money it's wasting is... A free, open collaborative encyclopedia of all human knowledge, so good it's basically the default reference for everything, and it's using this much money Meanwhile tons of tech companies get hyper inflated valuations and absurd amount of VC money for bullshit that is at best not really useful, at worse actively harmful to society. yeah sorry I'm not gonna attack wikipedia for needing budget to run the biggest most useful encyclopedia on earth actually

Time for DNS to propagate normally: a couple minutes, go make a cup of coffee or something Time for DNS to propagate after fixing a typo in a record: The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again

What COVID19 has taught us about the Zombie Apocalypse is that there will be zombie denialists, zombie virus infection parties, zombie conspiracy theorists, and politicians ruthlessly exploiting lies about zombies to kill off demographics who won't vote for them—and when a vaccine against Z-virus is invented there will be zombie anti-vaxxers (some of them funded by the Kremlin for shits and giggles).

PSA: "It's hard to find women to speak at events in Tech" - this is pure bullshit 💩 It's hard to convince women to risk attending a mostly-male event when they cannot see your ally-ship, maybe. But there are plenty of smart, highly capable women in Tech that would significantly enhance your event by speaking there. Build your network. Listen to women. Then get a 50:50 women:men organizing team. 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Then listen some more. Maybe then women will say "yes" to your event. #rant

Hey folks, I've seen a lot of talk going around about adblockers lately. I worked in the advertising technology and security industry for five years and the one core piece of advice I have is: Holy fuck never give an advertiser your data. You cannot believe how bad it is. Don't. I run three layers of ad block protection and I'd run more if it was feasible. If you want to support creators give them money.
