A meme & meat epiphyte careening through a fresh hellscape on some rock in the Laniakea Supercluster. (he/him)

Can't get no fancy notes on my blue guitar.

This is pretty cringe

pohl,

@Gargron I hope someday we get to the point where not doing these things is cringe.

This is the most Mastodon-thing I’ve ever seen (h/t @rmondello who said it first). Literally every single Firefox user took this poll and no one else. https://mstdn.link/?to=https://mastodon.social/@isagalaev/111027776713051174

pohl,

@film_girl @rmondello I don’t know why I get sucked into engaging with social media polls. It’s not as if I’m not aware that it’ll never be a random sample.

I read this, so now you have to, too: https://www.reddit.com/r/tifu/comments/15lqmde/tifu_by_asking_my_partner_to_stop_eating_his_own/

Favorite comment: "...a year?"

pohl,

@fasterthanlime I don’t avoid women, Mandrake. But I deny them my essence.

what community spaces are you using on the internet these days to talk about programming?

(mastodon/twitter? tiktok? discord? stack overflow? mailing lists? hn/reddit? just private group chats? wikis? something else?)

I'm writing a talk and I'm trying to think about how we share information as a community

pohl,

@b0rk Only a few unidirectional toots into the void here & there.

I don’t think the watchOS software ecosystem is vibrant enough to justify holding back on major form-factor changes like circular displays… 👀 The entire app catalog could disappear overnight and I'm not sure many people would notice

pohl,

@stroughtonsmith Circular smartwatches could disappear overnight and few would notice.

Well, I did manage to get the NYT to post about “VC qanon” and the brainworms infecting the tech tycoons. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/06/opinion/robert-kennedy-jr-silicon-valley.html

pohl,

@anildash Great piece. It seems, in retrospect, like this was inevitable. It’s just a stone’s throw from growing up wanking to Ayn Rand.

Conservatives want a world that combines racially discriminatory structures in all spheres of life with “colorblind” selection processes (like hiring and admission practices) that pretend those structures don’t exist - and then call the result “meritocracy.”

pohl,

@tzimmer_history Meanwhile, having money and/or connections will somehow never be at odds with the vaunted “meritocracy”.

Total aside. I love that half the news stories about Jack Smith, the special counsel leading the federal investigation of Trump, use this photo of him. (Taken of him in his official garb at his day job prosecuting war crimes in The Hague.)

He looks FREAKING TERRIFYING. If he were coming after me, I’d run.

pohl,

@mattblaze Coach Beard vibes

Alright, it looks like is becoming Normie Mastodon, so I’ll have to actually use that account. I’m not leaving this place but I would like a good bridge, which I think already is in the works but does anyone have any details for people that might want to cross post?

pohl,

@film_girl I know you don’t need another rando asking for an invite, but I’m not going to let that stop me.
