pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

the devaluation of non-code contributions in OSS is a real problem that leaves the whole space vulnerable
the firefox heel turn is perhaps one of the saddest stories for the open web
doubling down on LLMs-for-everything now involves crowding out the translators support.mozilla.org/en-US/forums... imagine how many hours of painstaking human work have just been thrown out in favour of machine translation

my hot AI take is that regardless of how we feel about it, bailing out the big AI companies may be *necessary* to avoid long-term systemic harm to real people

out of all the moderation decisions I find the account-level ‘Rude’ to be most egregious
it is definitionally subjective and you’re not going to see non-replies unless you follow most of the time, so what’s the *purpose*?
if they’re actually a serial harasser why are they allowed to stay?

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

there are too many chords
I hate that ‘step away for a bit and when you come back your hands will know what to do’ works because it flies in the face of the way I’ve learned *everything else*: suffering on repeat until it is done
and playing with two hands is some kind of wizardry
