For Thanksgiving week I want to take a sec to admire the UX atrocity that is our microwave/oven.

The mailing list for a certain major open source project has been completely off every rail possible the last couple of weeks.
People I respect and love just deep in the open source (sorry, “libre software”) trenches rn. Buy a FOSS developer a beer next time you see them.

I dunno how to put this nicely, but…the open firehose we love to build around is open season for collecting training data.
Twitter and Reddit both locked down their APIs because of this (to make money on it themselves, tbf).
We can’t complain about walled gardens and ask an open one to become one.

I just finished the Acquired episode about Meta a few days ago and it’s wild to watch them run their playbook against Bluesky in real time.

I totally understand why so many frameworks override the native fetch implementation. It's better for users 99% of the time, but lawds that last 1% can lead to absolute boondoggles.

I think I was in college before I realized it was "board game" not "bored game." At least no one could hear the difference, unlike when I confidently called something the "eh-pi-tōme" of something.
I can still feel the embarrassment of that moment when someone realized what I was trying to say.

You know what, self, you're right...you would definitely be more productive and organized if you obsessed over a new PKM tool for the 27th time and fiddled with it for a week before never touching it again leaving the notes inside to rot and die.

Someone uploaded a ~75 minute long loop of two bros chilling to stream.new and I'm trying to figure out if the troll call is coming from inside the house.

Teeing off on Netflix for the Tyson/Paul stream performance is so hot right now, but...
If the numbers I've seen are accurate (or even close), it's the largest live stream on the internet ever in terms of CCV. And by quite a bit at that, but I suspect the disparity is bigger under the hood.

I totally sold out and switched to the Apple Bundle Thing a few months ago. It made sense financially cause family and stuff, but Apple Music particularly is...fine. I guess.
TIL there are 3rd party apps. Anyone like one in particular? Does it help?
Obligatory "I miss Rdio."

"iFunny for people who miss The Ellen Show." is so delightfully evocative and savage.
Instead of following anyone on Threads, I spent the last two days letting its algorithm bombard me with garbage vaporcontent. Here's what Meta's bizarre algorithm world looks like.
