yep. Kris nailed it. And I'm not saying that just because she cited me.

The griping about Vultr you've seen on my TL? It's the exact same thing, and they've responded exactly the same way. :flan_molotov:

Hey everyone! just enshittified!

They re claiming ownership of all intellectual property you host on their VMs.

Clear violation of copyright law.

So, where are people moving to? What options are out there? that suck less?

The German word "metzeln" means slaughter.

Pretty sure the next Beaks book will involve a company named "Metzle."

I would love to contribute to Wikipedia, except I am very stupid about everything and also I hear the Wikipedia Men are very mean

@annika You could write my wikipedia page. I'm okay with anything it would say, so long as none of the personal stuff is true.

The book list must be scrupulously accurate, of course.

New blog post: "Shopify vs Woocommerce for Author Bookstores"

https://mwl.io/archives/23490

Folks keep asking my opinion, so it's easier to blog it.

One of my favorite experiences is when I'm reading and I encounter a sentence that expresses the truth in such a way that I stop like I've faceplanted into a wall. It's so perfect that I need a moment to contemplate it.

On rare occasion, I write a sentence that hits me like that. Can't plan for it. Can't even claim that those sentences are original, because it's a big world and there's a whole bunch of people out there saying things.

But in this last blog post I wrote "Betrayal is the Internet's business model," and... I think I need to go sit down for a few.

    The master/main thing is serious in US English. One of those things that doesn't translate well, I suspect.

    Using "master" over here marks you as a big jerk.
