X/Twitter: You can no longer block people

Masto/Fedi: My dude we have like seventeen different ways to block people. Hell, block entire servers. Fuck it, block by default. Filter the letter "e" from your timeline and go full oulipo, we don't give a shit.

Something notable about the “X/Twitter added a 5 second delay on links to websites Musk doesn’t like” story is that it’s well understood in the tech industry that every second matters for retention.

You lose about half of your would-be traffic if your link doesn’t “load” within 3 seconds.

They’re leveraging a dark pattern to reduce traffic at scale.

That is the kind of thing that should be illegal to do as a massive platform. Twisting the web.

Go see Monkey Man

A friend of mine told me it was “Dev Patel says trans rights and then kills a bunch of fascists: the movie” and I thought they meant like, metaphorically.

No

They meant literally. Very, very literally.

If you want “John Wick but killing fascists in the name of trans rights,” go see Monkey Man.

You’re welcome. 👍

For folks in the US with noise sensitivities, you should be aware that this year we’ve seen an apparent record breaking amount of firework purchases in the country. I’m sure you’re hearing it already (as I have been).

You may want to be proactive with noise cancellation if you have headphones or ear plugs or something.

Take care of yourself as best you can!

Hello!

I am putting out another call for poetry submissions from anyone who loves writing poetry. I originally planned to start publishing poetry on my newsletter, but am pivoting a bit and will instead be doing something more focused which includes publishing and reading submitted poems, among other things.

If you or someone you know is a poet (of any skill level), send submissions (and a name / links for credit!) to poems@endeavorance.camp

Boosts appreciated!

And the rockets red glare
The bombs making red glare

lol I just got a scam email from someone claiming they’ve hacked my accounts and their proof is that they sent me the scam email from my own email address

(Reminder to non-tech-folk that it’s fairly trivial to fake sending an email as someone else)

Anyway this scam would have caused me to maybe do a double take if it weren’t using an email address that is literally impossible to send mail from anymore. It’s a fwd-only email address and I couldn’t send from it if I wanted to

Twitter is finally going paid-only. Also, we still don't have a Speaker of the House, the CIA had a bit of a whoopsie on their social profile, a devastating event is unfolding in Gaza, and a land purchase by the US is contested to this day.

I’d prefer for people to just be paid their worth! But I can’t think of a more directly impactful strike to happen right now than UPS in the US.

It’s gonna hit everyone and it’ll be clear real quick who is the valuable part of the organization and what the entire country loses without them.

Also if a single company failing to pay their workers equitably is enough to crash an economy, maybe it shouldn’t be private enterpriiiiiiisssseee
