What's the technical term for when you start measuring something to evaluate it, but then that shifts over time to people trying to meet the target not to do the actual thing.

Happens a lot in schools with exam results.

I know there is one.

⚠️ Hey #MastoAdmin FYI there is a Mastodon security update apparently coming 6 July.

EDIT: Interestingly, the same day #Facebook #Threads launches. Hmm... 🤔

The reason you probably didn't know about it, is because it was only announced* behind a proprietary centralized paywalled garden. (Not Twitter, but the same effect.)

Be ready.

@downey that's rubbish. Why on earth does not mastodon development eat it's open dog food?

AppleTV+ does have some of the BEST #scifi series on television right now. #sciencefiction #TV #television

@eosfpodcast I totally agree. I feel like they went to sci-fi authors and asked them "bring us what main stream media rejected"

@eosfpodcast Now I wish they bring more. And buy The Orville may be?
