The difference between nudes posted to OnlyFans for subscribers and the same nudes leaked to the public for the purpose of embarrassing one of your critics is consent, you moron.

the "i would never buy an NFT, just think of all the energy they pointlessly burn through" crowd sure has come around fast on "haha i got ChatGPT to write a poem about my butt"

Earlier I was thinking about smaller companies that sell themselves to big ones, and how sometimes no one cares or even notices (e.g. 7digital) that they sold out, vs companies like Bandcamp or flickr where everyone freaks out. It’s a sign of how special the company is to the people who use it. If you’re starting a company, that should be your goal: to create something that would make people freak out and sad if you sold out. A business loved that much is an accomplishment that can’t be measured in $ I started SomaFM because I couldn’t find what I wanted to listen to on the radio. I wanted to create something i would love rather than simply found a startup to make a bunch of money. Creating/Doing something people care about is much better than “increasing shareholder value”.

There are people who are still alive who were alive when it was illegal to be gay. Actually, if you're reading this you're one of them because its STILL illegal to be gay in about 70 countries and in the USA in only the past few days culturally controlling figures like Matt Walsh have supported "conversion therapy" for gay and queer people. Do not take sexual diversity for granted. Because its violently coercive enemies don't. 🏳️‍🌈 #gay #lesbian #lgbt #lgbtq #trans #nonbinary #queer

anyone who declares every problem can be solved by technology is not a serious person 🙄

Every single commit message can be “WIP” for all I care if commits are small changes of well factored, simple code driven by well-written tests co-authored by people having face to face conversations and each one is safely delivered to production.

Please stop referring to Copilot and ChaptGPT as an amazing pairing partner. If you think your mob/pairing partner is there to help you type code in then you’ve misunderstood the real value of mobbing/pairing.

If you're fairly old & grew up in the UK you'll probably find this site fascinating http://cerealoffers.com

Attached: 1 image The past two nights I wrote a "thread reader app" for BlueSky. https://skyview.social Oh boy. The protocol is absolutely insane. RPC galore, responses are only partially typed. The docs are pretty much useless. But the "funniest" part is this: there's no privacy. And I don't mean missing DMs. All your posts are available through API endpoints. Without any authentication. By design. The "invite-only" thing may have you think otherwise. Here are my last 100 posts. https://bsky.social/xrpc/com.atproto.repo.listRecords?repo=badlogic.bsky.social&collection=app.bsky.feed.post

Major VC writes manifesto: "Building the Torment Nexus is Good, Actually."

IF your product is available under an #OpenSource license and some other company uses it to create a more compelling product offering than your own, THEN the problem is **not** the license or open source, it's that your company is failing at doing #business as well as your competitor is.

It is tempting to dismiss that manifesto as incoherent and self-serving, but it is important to remember that this it is also a list of beliefs the founders of tech companies will need to recite if they want investment money from that guy and his friends.

It's okay to publish code under a free software / open source license without starting a "project". Not every act of sharing code for others to use and/or build on is a "project". Which is something …

I’ll write a fuller response later, but when billionaire tycoons who profit from genocide say that they want to become “supermen” while explicitly endorsing colonialism, that’s not optimism. That’s fascism with a smile. I actually make stuff, and help other people make stuff, and genuine optimism (technological or not) looks like community, nurturing, organizing and empowering — not indulging billionaires who profit from genocide.
