They're after me... @frickinLasers@qoto.org

I’ve always had an old soul and now my body matches my soul.

I’m from Texas, but that wasn’t embarrassing enough, so I moved to Florida.

I need an app like Shazam that tells me why I got up and came into the living room

I remember trying to buy a TV that does not have "smart" functionality a few years ago. It was a chore. Today it seems nigh-impossible.

And not just TVs: ovens; refrigerators; dishwashers — all have "smart" options. In fact, it seems that more and more the available non-smart models are only the simpler ones, less performant in ways that are not related to any smart functionality missing.

My non-smart TV was available only with lower resolutions than "smart" models of the same brand.

Wow. So cool! So unnecessary. Still want it

@jjhysell I have a theory that COVID was created in a lab by Big QR just to force us to use them in order to look at menus.

I remember when toilet paper and eggs were so plentiful we would throw them at the houses of our enemies.

Back in the day, toilet paper and eggs were so plentiful that you would throw them at the houses of your enemies.

wow the grand canyon is just gorges

My favourite "fuck around and find out" is probably Victoria Gillick who tried to prevent her daughter getting access to contraception and ended up becoming the definition of women's bodily autonomy in the UK for the last 36 years. She's still alive and angry, ha ha ha.

When someone is a dick to you, just remember they are probably hurting inside.

You can use that to destroy them.

I found a box of drink coasters in the shape of a save icon!

How cool is that?

See these words from @chockenberry, lead developer of Twitterific?

It's exactly what I said would happen when Elon Musk screwed over 3rd Party developers.

Twitter didn't create broad adoption of Twitter. It was 3rd party developers.

Now devs are pissed—much more than they were before.

So what will they do next?

Drive broad adoption of the Fediverse.

This isn't the only former Twitter developer making these moves. @tapbots is also making an app for the Fediverse.

Bad move, Twitter!

Earlier today I posted something about the history of the h-index in which I stuck to the point and didn't go into a long digression about why the h-index is a poor metric for many of the uses to which it is put.

This post is to serve as notice that the h-index basically tracks career stage, albeit with different slopes for researchers of different impact—but that the effects of disciplinary and subdisciplinary citation conventions on slopes swamp researcher differences in productivity.

I made a desktop version of my favorite XKCD.

Note to Ron DeSantis & Sarah HUCKABEE
Sander:

Teaching children to hate America is indoctrination.

Teaching children to love America is also indoctrination.

Teaching children the truth about America, both its despicable bad and its inspiring good, is NOT indoctrination.

May need some new terminology here. A Mastodon Crush sounds like a cause of death.
