No is a complete sentence. Also, no clubs are helpful.

I love the term "non-promotable work." But sometimes I have a hard time determining what fits in that category.

Almost 180k new users joined #mastodon yesterday, a new record. This third #twitterMigration wave happened after Musk's Twitter 2.0 ultimatum to #Twitter workers. Each wave is stronger than the previous one. Here is my updated plot showing the three consecutive waves.

I don’t understand why people think Mastodon is difficult. It seems pretty straightforward, and the separate servers are no biggie. I’m enjoying this fresh start here, like moving to a new apartment!

I voted today! Predicting the winner is a bit tricky, since we don't have a Nate Silver of our own. May the best coalition win for a brighter future in Malaysia.

Good evening, Twitter was a 16 year sociological study conducted by Harvard University. We are now complete with our study. Thank you for your time.

@Cmastication @jh This online course remains the most pleasant and enjoyable one I've experienced in recent years. Am thankful for Professors like Jeremy and Rachel for making AI learning fun for those without a programming background 😊

The lesson to take from the big layoffs at Twitter and Facebook is this: "The job will never love you back." No matter how much effort you put in, no matter how clever you are, no matter how long you've committed yourself to $COMPANY, when push comes to shove, you're just a replaceable part in the machine.

Keep your weekends and your evenings. Leave your bugs at work. Your time is for you, and your boss won't send you flowers.
