This content type is full of IndieWeb post types, which are all content types which allow me to take greater ownership of my own data. These are likely unrelated to my blog posts. You can find a better breakdown by actual post kind below:
In 2009, I join Twitter.
I make friends there.
I can see their posts.
Twitter has a Nazi problem.
I pre-emptively join Mastodon.
But I don’t really use it yet.
Elon Musk buys Twitter.
My friends start leaving.
I no longer see their posts.
I want to see my friends’ posts.
-
I find my friends again on Mastodon.
Now I have two apps to keep track of.
But I can see my friends’ posts again.
My instance admins get in a fight.
Friends’ instances defederate from mine.
I can no longer follow them, nor they me.
I am told about this by a friend who noticed.
There is no indication given by the software.
I am not notified of the connections I’ve lost.
I want to see my friends’ posts.
-
A friend invites me to their instance.
I accept, and migrate my profile across.
I re-follow missing friends I can remember.
And I can see my friends’ posts again.
A friend posts photos on her instance.
But those photos are not visible on mine.
Her profile appears, to me, devoid of images.
My new instance seemingly media-blocks hers.
There is no indication given by the software.
-
I just want to see my friends’ posts.
Am I wrong to want that?

#Firefox is by far the best browser on desktop. Let me be clear, I am not saying that because I am ideologically opposed to using Google products. I use YouTube and Google Workspaces. Chrome genuinely has nothing to offer over Firefox. If your website doesn't work in Firefox then I'm not using your website.
There's not a CEO in the world doing $7 million worth of work. Saying this is in line with exec compensation elsewhere is not a defense, it's an indictment. Nor is gender equity in pay an argument when ALL execs are overpaid and where pay equity is worst is at the entry level and among the precariat.
Seriously, stop trying to justify a $7 million salary. Executive compensation is a PROBLEM, and while it's nothing specific to Mozilla, you can say this without pretending it's healthy.

I'd be happy that fireworks are going off at 7:30pm if I thought that would be it for the whole night. But you know it's just going to be nonstop and we can forget being able to take the dog outside without him running back inside terrified now
As more and more of my friends with ADHD get diagnosed with autism, I can't help but wonder if one of these my number is going to come up too :thinkingcat:
#ADHD #Autism #AuDHD
@sphakos@toot.cat "It's almost like neuro-spicy folks like to hang out with each other..."
Right?! 😂 Seems to happen on other dimensions of identity too! Like, genuinely shocking numbers of people I've formed strong ties with have ultimately been diagnosed as neurospicy, and/or with EDS, and/or come out as queer/trans.
Love that we find each other even before we self-identify these ways.
(...so yea I'm definitely thinking a lot more about autism rn...)
@james@strangeobject.space THIS is why I resent any type of "productivity measurement".
If I as the person responsible for their (professional and sometimes very rarely personal) situation don't know how and what they feel and are working on, I should quit my job.
I sometimes hear "but we need abstract measurements to hand up to executive management". No, you don't. Have a talk with them and tell them about the people you are working with. If they don't like this, this is not a good place to be.
And regarding 'productivity': some people have a constant outfit of achievements or in software development tickets. That's productivity.
But some people 'produce' less individual results, but removing them from the team would lower everyone's productivity. That's generativity. I don't know many colleagues taking this into account or even noticing it exists.
You'll be seeing lots of posts from people saying/boasting what they achieved in 2023.
In case anyone needs to hear it... it's ok if all you did this year was get through it... You made it, good job.
ONE WEIRD TRICK TO MAKE SURE YOU NEVER INCORRECTLY CONNECT YOUR USB 2/3
Throw the computer in the bin. Now you have no failed attempts, as you have no USB slots.
Happy to help. 💜
"CoPilot writes code that's almost as good as the code I write myself" is certainly making a powerful point.
It's just, well, I don't think it's making quite the point you think it is.
Kids today live in a world where horribly pixelated graphics were just a cute stylistic choice and David Lynch had a coherent plan for Twin Peaks all along.
If ever there was an argument against Intelligent Design it's the annual year release process. I mean, zero QA, no pre-release checks. They just YOLO whatever random crap got merged into the next year and don't care.
It's all very simple, you see. You're just confusing the entity named Mozilla with one of the four other entities it set up, all of which are also named Mozilla
The cognitive dissonance of people eschewing Mozilla cos of AI and big salaries and a problematic CEO
And suggesting people move to Brave
The crypto browser that also does AI
The browser who is available through Epic Games Store
Taking some share of ad revenue for itself instead of giving it to who it’s supposed to
Suggesting affiliate links in the address bar
The browser that’s installing pay to use software on Windows machines without asking for consent
Helmed by Brendan Eich
You know, the JavaScript creator
Oh but he’s also the guy ousted as Mozilla’s CEO for donating to anti lgtbq propositions
the same guy who seems to hold Covid conspiracy theories in his head
Please use a fucking search engine some time
🤡
If you are unhappy with using Firefox OR Chrome, there is a perfectly also-problematic-as-hell browser owned by a homophobe, crypto-twat, and Covid denier right there waiting. You're welcome.
2023 was a decent year for me. With the kids now 1 and 3 I think I finally started to realize I’m a dad (!!) with all the responsibilities that come with that, and I started to adapt (way less travel, etc). Professionally, I’m really happy with what me and @charlieegan3 have accomplished during quite a turbulent year. And of course #Regal, the linter for #Rego that I started work on in January, and which now has a small community of users and contributors. Happy new year everyone! 🥂❤️
As someone coming off a decade of working there, I can tell you with some confidence that “you should use Firefox despite Mozilla’s leadership” is far more true and has been true far longer than you realize.
But you should also understand that original market-share vs ceo salary meme is a creation of Brendan Eich, presumably born of a grudge, and notably elided his tenure as CTO, during which the worst of that decline happened.
You should still use Firefox though.
Can’t believe they’re going to roll 2024 out to Production late on a Sunday, right before a public holiday, without testing it in Staging, and without fixing any of the bugs in 2023.

With 2023 quickly ending, I wanted to share five life lessons I learnt over the last 12 months. This is the eighth year I have written a “lessons learnt” post. If you want to return in ti…
@jwz@mastodon.social @foxhkron@cybre.club while the conclusions are correct, I do ponder whether we should be driving traffic to Bryan Lunduke, who is basically an alt-right tech personality.
@ariadne@treehouse.systems @jwz@mastodon.social @foxhkron@cybre.club also, If Lunduke writes something, it's probably a carefully curated set of facts garnished with bias
