Would anybody be interested in watching that, or submitting questions for a test run?

Hilarious hijacked URL in this phishing attempt, "overjoyed common sponge":@dmd @SomaFMrusty yeah this is correct, and sorry our systems didn’t catch it before it went up. It should be flagged and deleted now.

None of this WordPress nonsense would be an issue if you bastards had just stuck with Movable Type. -
CEO of Meta, which recently joined the newly founded #SocialWebFoundation, suggests that there is "no causal connection" between social media and teen mental health.@stefan @evan @wendinoakland fwiw I don’t think there’s a credible path of non-engagement as long as hundreds of millions of well-intentioned users are involved. We have to pursue harm reduction for them even as we push to hold meta accountable; if we follow the analogy of email or podcasts, there are absolutely vendors in both those spaces profiteering grom fascism. Yet we need those formats to be open.

One really easy way to tell if an organization is going to embrace enshittification in its products is to see if everyone in a decision-making position did a stint working at Facebook after they enabled a genocide.@godzero @miah @Greengordon I'm just saying – we all do marketing. It's reductive to vilify it.

One really easy way to tell if an organization is going to embrace enshittification in its products is to see if everyone in a decision-making position did a stint working at Facebook after they enabled a genocide.@miah @Greengordon there are just as many startups that die because engineering disappears down a rabbit hole of self-indulgence without considering what users or the market wants. It takes a collaboration that balances all these impulses. VCs typically make things horrible by focusing on hyper-growth and being over-extractive; they can achieve that through bad actors in leadership in marketing, engineering, finance, or anywhere else.

There are folks making decisions at Apple who would be considered marketing, but are making great choices that engineering can get behind. It's really about fluency and alignment to goals.
